There has never been any doubt that the best E8B players can make it in pool and win big tournaments - Shaw and Appleton are two of the best examples. Mick Hill is a great player who should, and very probably would, do well at pool.

Read somewhere that Mick Hill has official highest straight pool record (E8B table) of 456. Darren has unofficial record 466
I wonder how that compares with Mosconi's record :grin:
 
11-9 Shi Hanqing and Shi is breaking. Darren was behind 4 or 5 racks earlier on so he is trying to stay close and mount another comeback like earlier today and yesterday :grin:

Mick Hill is a great player who should, and very probably would, do well at pool. For reasons known to himself (and they are surely very good reasons) he has never entered the arena. There has always been a doubt though about the integrity of the E8B game - it has a small white ball ffs and has had anti-pool rules (but is, to be fair, moving towards having some proper ones - nobody wants to see a"professional" pool player rolling up to a ball with no rail after contact because it's........)

These are two different things - the quality of the players and the quality of the game. It would be great to see Mick Hill having a go at it but I suspect that, win or lose, he'll take the money and run back home.I hope I'm wrong.

I believe Mick Hill played in an IPT event or two.
 
Shi on hill. 14-9 He can see Mick Hill
Darren missed a bank on 8 ball centre pocket and Shi runs out :)
