Will there be extreme pressure on him to win this event? No. Until JS won a Dragon event, the "Mr. 400" moniker appeared to weigh heavily on him, but since winning that title, it's all gravy.
Will he be given a rock star reception ? No. Straight pool fans wouldn't see that as fair to real rock stars, like Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman.
Will the players be asking about the "video"? No, the players will be asking about the bartender. For the fans, the answer is again No, as straight pool fans measure time in decades. There's no such thing as time-to-market in straight pool.
