    Pro pool without a shot clock

    This one wasn't particularly noteworthy or unique in the grand scheme of things but I did like how after all that hemming and hawing, Styer won the game after slopping in a ball. He also took forever just to rack the balls before the video starts.

    QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025
