Like To See 50k/100k !-Hole Tournament

I'd like to see a big purse one hole tournament in the U.S, just to see if an American would win it.

I saw a thread not long ago saying that the U.S would run over the rest of the world. Ten years ago maybe, but not today IMO. You have top 1 hole players from around the world now. Alex, Dennis O, Appleton. E Reyes, and a few more. Johnnyt

Derby City gets the same field as your hypothetical tournament plus all the bottom-half guys... Billy Thorpe, an American, won.

Maybe you think the guys you listed would have one-pocket epiphanies or play harder for more money?

I don't.

Plus, we've got our guys "New york" and "Arizona" who would once again be lured out of obscurity by the smell of easy money.

The biggest payout that i am aware of any one pocket event was the Smoking Aces event in Missouri a few years ago.

It paid 25k for 1st place total purse was 50k i think

Efren won and Bustamante got 2nd

As far as i know that's biggest payout for winning a one pocket event ever.

Maybe you guys can chime in if any other events ever paid more?

Yeah, well, I'd like to see Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence play some naked 8ball, so I guess we can all dream.
