You got action, sir! undefeated at Graceland!
The room has been centered around billiards since 1960, when Elvis first placed the table (three years after he bought the mansion). His favorite games were 8-ball and rotation, and he developed a reputation for repositioning the cue ball if a shot was too tricky for comfort. (The table features a famous tear, though no one to this day knows — or will tell — who wielded the deadly stick.) Kern says the table is among the oldest pieces of furniture in the entire mansion.
Kern clarifies that the famous game Elvis played with the Beatles was at his Palm Springs home. But with skills sharpened, needless to say, at Graceland. "Elvis never lost a game of pool on that table," says Kern with a chuckle. "Everyone knew Elvis had to win."
