I met him a few years back in Vegas the year he won the BCA 8-Ball Men's Open. He had a 9am match against my husband (who is a good player) and had been up all night drinking and wearing sunglasses. I was watching and he took the time out to introduce himself to me and was very courteous and asked me if I needed anything to drink. I think the match (8-ball, race to 5) took a whole 20 minutes. I was very impressed with his game and the way he moved his cueball. He never moved it very far at a time and could stop the cueball on a dime. He definitely didn't belong in the Open that year, but I guess no one really knew of him, which is why he was allowed to play.
