I believe that the insurance company got out reference the language that was in the contract. Earl did not "run" 11 racks, he "won 11 games in a row". As was stated earlier, he had a few short games, and snapped in the 9 a few times. I believe that the insurance company held the PCA to the original contract which stated that the player must "runout 10 times". There were about 50 - 60 people watching and 50-60 different versions as to what happened. Many, like myself, put our current matches on hold to go watch. I only got to see the match from game 8 or 9. The 1-9 combination in the final game was awesome. I didn't see games 1-7, so I cannot comment on them, nor can many other people, as a crowd didn't start forming until after the first 5-6 games, but you'd be surprised how many hundreds of people swear to God that they watched the whole thing, many of which were never in the room at the time.
