Congrats to Darren Appleton!
Your back-to-back International Challenge Of Champions winner!

How about a US Open 3-peat Dynamite?

This guy just plays awesome. I would like to see him and SVB in an all around, 8 ball, 9 ball, and one pocket.

 

[wahcheck]

wow

Who were the others playing and how much was the prize money?

 

[edd]

He's a friggin' machine, no doubt!!

Darren, SVB, Dennis and Chang Jung Lin. The prize money is usually 50 large, winner takes it all, but I don't know this year...

Well THAT will be a huge confidence booster as he tries to 3-peat the US Open. Daz seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

Watched some of the match with Efren and he really played incredibly well matching Efren shot for shot, safe for safe and kick for kick.

I don't really see any weakness in his game at this point.

Its amazing that all of the COC players were able to make it to both events.

I bet he went nuts. I love his celebrations.

A few years ago they reduced the event to 4 players and $25,000 winner takes all. Before that it was 8 players and $50,000.

Who won the women's challenge of champions. Surprised no one even mentions it. Anywhere.

All I can find so far is that Kim beat Ouschan and Korr beat Fisher in the first round. So either Kim or Korr won the event, but I don't know which one.

Shane, can't win them all, but you won a very important one today!!!
