I am not talking about a person winning a tournament - I am talking about one moment, one session of greatness.
Three come to mind for me -
Gabe running 60 in the One Pocket Challenge (5 racks, break and run as many balls as you can with obviously 75 being the max) -- some people discount this cause he did it on the TV table which was deemed easier. I believe Mika had a 58 once and Alex a 56.
Sky making 17 banks in a row, 20 rails total (hope I got that stat right). That seems almost undoable on a Diamond table. I have seen Bugs and Tony Fargo play banks when they could really hit them and nothing they did came close. Fargo to me is the greatest banker I have ever seen in action but again, never saw him make 17 in a row.
SVB shooting a .957 on the 10 footer. Clearly eclipses anyone that has played on that table during the event for a score. 110/115.
Shane's $20,000 jump 3 rail draw shot for shape. That shot made the difference between him winning the All-around and another spot up in the 9 ball. For a single moment, this has to be it for me.
1pocket match - Efrens' consecutive matches with Jason Miller and Alex Pagulayan. Not 100% positive about the sixth game but for sure he had 4x 8-and-out and 1x 9-and-out. It was flawless play and a couple shots were ones only Efren would have played.
Efren shot a 1.000 against Mika in the 9 ball. I think it was 2005, maybe 2004.
Stuart Pettman 14.1 high run on the 10' table (two centuries).

Am I missing any? Again, I am not talking about Efren winning the one pocket at an advanced age or feats like that. I am talking about a pure moment of excellence in time.
