He will be there for about a month so playing about 20 days of play. He is also scheduled to try for a month in Monterey in May and June. My vote is based on both sets of attempts.This month Mr. 400 will try to break Mosconi's 526 record. Mid March 2019, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for (how many?) weeks.
I wish him the best of luck. How high will he go?
It is supposed to be streamed live. Post a link here when it does.
I think he's tuning up for the US Open. He's won it before.

Where? Also, are any equipment details known? I'm sure it'll be a 9' table, and presumably not a diamond.
Dennis Orcullo was consistently making 200s every year at the DCC 14.1 challenge event on Diamonds. Filler, who has the record of 285 at DCC (video on YouTube) is another contender, and Filler is a spring chicken.Lets remember a couple of things here. John has broken 400 only 4 times. I say only with all due respect. One time is awesome and 4 times is superb, but obviously 400 is not easy at all. Can he do it? I believe so. Will he do it? I'm not so sure.
Also, whoever breaks the record will do it on equiptment that is tougher than what Misconi played on. No disrespect to the late, great Mr. Mosconi, but when its done on a tougher table, that person will put themselves in a class by themself.
Besides John, who else do you think is a top contender to break the record? Didn't Cory run close to 400 within the last couple years?

I think it is the second highest of any exhibition run. There have been lots of rumored and real practice runs that are higher. I don't know the situation for Engert's 491. Some believe that Eufemia did have a 625 but it needed more documentation. Eufemia certainly stated clearly that he made the run.Niels and Melling I think could make a good run at it too. I would like to see Efren do it since he is retired and has time on his hands now.
What is the second highest run that we know of? I don't know anyone who is above Johns 434 except for Mosconi. Is that the second highest of all time?
