BUFFALO'S PRO CLASSIC 2026

I wonder if he has ever played one pocket before. Damn Estonian, taking our money.
Actually, fellow Estonian Dennis Grabe is a classy one pocket player, too. If memory serves, he came fourth at the DCC one-pocket event in his only appearance at the Derby.
 
Mark Mägi from Estonia has taken down Justin Hall, John Morra, and now Roberto Gomez.
🔥

What a breakout performance he’s putting together at the 2026 Buffalo’s Pro Classic.
After selling for just $4,500 in the Calcutta, Mark has stormed his way into the final four on the winners’ side and has become one of the biggest stories of the tournament so far.
He’s beating some of the toughest names in One Pocket and proving he belongs with the elite. Nobody saw this run coming… but everybody is paying attention now.

Presumably he will be on the 7:00 TV Table match vs Lunda?
 
Mark Magi is about 26 years old, affectionately called Magic Mark.
He's also a top level snooker player in Estonia.
Mark has teamed up with fellow Estonian Denis Grabe, representing Estonia together on the international stage, particularly at the World Cup of Pool.
Here are the key highlights and history of their matchups and partnership:
  • World Cup of Pool Success: Grabe and Mägi are a formidable duo for team events, famously knocking out Great Britain (Jayson Shaw and Chris Melling) in a dramatic hill-hill thriller to reach the quarter-finals in 2021.
  • Head-to-Head: While often teammates, they have also squared off in singles competition, including at the Hague Masters and the Predator Pro Billiard Series.
  • Intense Rivalry: As close teammates and frequent competitors at the Estonian National Championships, they share a highly competitive history that has occasionally led to fiery, passionate moments at the table.
Estonia might be a hotbed of pool and billiards....another version of the Philippines.

they had a heated rivalry as teammates in the world cup.. i think it was 2018 and the argument continued well after the match, the mics picked it up from the back room in the subsequent match
