people said the same about filler in the DCC banks, that he ran 5 racks or something over the semi and the final. but even if they were consecutive in one sense, it's not very serious to count packs over two matches. it just doesn't work that way
HIGHEST RUN you've witnessed by a pro

At the Riviera? Late evening/midnight ish?
If so, I was there and watched most of that match.
Also watched SVB and Charlie Bryant play a perfect (13 b'n'r) race to 7 in a tournament match (8 ball on 7' Diamond at the Riviera) 7-6 SVB

Yapp came to the table 8 times after the lag. He simply failed every shot, pushout, or defensive battle he was faced with. Here's one example of him at the table in game 8 with his cue in his hand. Obviously KPC didn't break and run that rack.
so did rodney morris when CSI had pros playing on tiny tables. can't remember if they called it US open 8-ball or not, but i remember being annoyed that the event didn't mention the table size.
since others have brought barboxes into the conversation, here's justin bergman running an 18-pack in a streamed 9b match:
It's wild anyone would play a pro 9-ball on a bar box, template rack, 1 on the spot, no break box, and no 3-point rule. That specific set of conditions begs for an 800+ player to run a 100-pack if they put a Jayson Shaw high run effort into it.
I just wish that he would travel and represent the US.

p.s. On a side note, I did make $20 dollars betting against him many years ago. It was in a swannee memorial, deep in the winner's bracket and someone on the rail liked Bergman against Louis Ulrich. This was not long after Louis had moved back to San Diego from the East Coast where he was dominating the pool scene and in top form. Needless to say (or rather already stated) I won the $20 bucks as Louis won something like 9-4, or 9-5
Some of the highest payouts in billiards (when counting the calcuttas) have been on bar boxes. White Diamonds typically has high runs and even higher payouts.
I've heard of the calcuttas alone reaching 190K+

Theres a video from 2 or 3 racks of an Asian guy in flip flops running 11 racks of 9 ball woth ease using a magic rack....an unknown
Many years ago Willie Mosconi came and gave an exhibition at the local Bowling Ally. (Brunswick Tables) I was 15 He let me break Straight Pool to 125. I thought I got him. Nope he ran125 balls and went on with his exhibition. Later he gave me a few tips. It was like having god over my shoulder. lol.

Someone else said 10 but it was 11? That's a serious run.

Mr Curly! Been a long time sir. Hope life is treating you well.

Man my ol' man must have been getting the rolls to get a set off The Rifleman!
If the reference is to Orcollo's 120-115 9-Ball win over SVB in June, 2021, Orcollo's largest B&R package was 10, not 11. The commentators thought it was 11 for a while, but corrected it. It was on Day 1 (of 3), Games 26-35. Van Boening broke in Game 25, and Orcollo missed the 2-ball in Game 36. 26-35 = 10.
Wasn’t that match rack-your-own with a gentlemen’s understanding that both players would be racksmithing for themselves a bit?
still around, so far.
he had a break as good as anybody out there. back when harder the better was way to go. he would stick the ball in the center of the table (like glue).
on topic, i saw jessie bowman give a guy the 7 at mt. pleasant a race to 11 for 500. jessie won the flip and ran out the set. guys friend who didn't see it heard he lost with the 7 said i'll play the guy with the seven, i'll play god with the 7. his buddy said keep your money this guy beats god.
