The Van Boening streak keeps on going strong!
There hasn't been any front-page news on AzBilliards front page about SBE. The only news is on the forum.
I love shane, but he has a long ways to go before he gets mentioned in best-ever discussions.

Long ways??? not sure if i agree.....
Just using the last 2-3 years he has proved he is among the best ever. Is he unbeatable? Nope. But anytime he plays, its almost a guarantee you put your cheddar on the SVB. Thats when you know you can mention him with the greats.
Fargo Billiards
He won both the 9 ball and 8 ball tourneys at Fargo Billiards last weekend also

Sunday
He demolished the competition in the last three matches today to take the title. He played today like the OLD Tiger
His hospitality in Fargo last weekend was amazing

Guy is a beast.
A little early to be placing Shane's name with the greatest ever, but he may be heading down that path. In ten ball, he must already be counted as one of the all time greats, perhaps even the greatest. In nine ball, his title count is hardly sufficient for him to be considered alongside guys like Lassiter, Sigel, Souquet, Hall and Archer, but he may surpass all of them one day. As an all-around player, Nick Varner was a world champion in 14.1, one pocket, bank pool, eight ball and nine ball and Lassiter won the all-around at Johnston City three years in a row in the early 1960's with every superstar of the game present.
In Shane, we are lucky to be witnessing a superstar in his prime, and maybe he'll wind up on the short list of the greatest ever. For now, let's just enjoy this incomparable display of excellence.

I just reviewed the flow chart. After Shane lost in his second match of the event, he won 10 matches in a row to take the title. And the aggregate score of those 10 matches was 103-35!
For the three matches he played on Sunday, he was 33-9. For his last five matches prior to the finals, he was 50-11. Remarkable!
Shane played some of the best 10 ball I've ever seen this week. Just superb pool.
He's still young so he's got a ways to go to catch the top U.S. players who had longer careers, but in terms of ability I would agree that he's on the short list of best U.S. players ever.

Thank you. I was wondering how he did in that. Johnnyt
Like most I watched thanks to InsidePool, but this display of billiards was one of the best I have seen in a long time. What domination, I don't recall Shane missing any makeable shots. He played splended. Congrats on the win Shane

I likes the cut of that man's jib.
Perhaps pool in the US dos have a future after all?

If it does then Shane is definitely carrying the torch out front.
