Last year I won $12,000 in a pool tournament in Vegas--and I didn't win the tournament--I got 2nd. It was a 580 and under, $1000 entry, single elimination, 32 player field.
I tried again this year and just barely got my entry fee back as I finished tied for 5th.
I didn't post here before, but it is by far my biggest achievement in pool. I realize that I might be in a pretty elite group of pool players to win that much money in a tournament.
Luckily there are more opportunities than one may think for winning good money at my level. Even among pros there aren't too many tournaments that would pay out over $10,000 for 1st, let alone, 2nd.
I'm curious about the members here and how many of you have won this kind of money in a tournament?
