That didn't come from playing. Heavy-handed movers not knowing their job.

Obviously, something or someone bumped the table. The laminate still shouldn't crack. I've been around A LOT of Gold Crown's in my 30+ years of playing and I've never seen the laminate crack like that. Never, and we're talking about tables that were 30-60 years old along the way in heavy commercial use. These have been in play for what? A couple weeks? My buddy accidentally bumped his GCI with his massive gun safe. The damage want's even close to this. IMO, they're cheaply made junk. I'm not sure how they plan to compete against Diamond in the 7' market with issues like this.
Just curious, is this a table being used in the current tournament?
Yes. The photo was from a friend who is playing in the BCA event.
Isn't that laminate glued to wood? Looks more like a cut than a dent.
Its either laminate over wood or over metal. SAM tables have always had metal rails with a layer over it.
I don’t think it’s really fair to generalize about a country’s players. SVB always kind of has a frustrated demeanor at the table. It’s true that “Kentucky Fats” Woodward wasn’t playing great. But Tyler has been playing in all these events and seems really focused as usual. And several other American would-bes are giving it their all, I think.
Based on a previous photo I posted, it has to be laminate on top of plywood.
Yeah, don't think impact damage would cause that. No scuffing I can see. Jammin mechanic maybe.
Butcher block style is completely different than plywood. This is plywood.

It looks like a side impact which caused the laminate to bend and crack.
Could be but nothing visible in the photo.
That's like marine grade plywood. that shit is strong as hell. see how many plies there are? yes, technically its plywood but strong as fk plywood. they make ocean going boats out of this stuff. actual marine grade isn't even this thick and uses water-proof adhesive. this stuff looks to be at least 1" thick. I don't know why anyone would be concerned with the strength of this material. Rather have this than the old metal KSteel-style rails.

I just watched Gorst and Ko Pin Yi and it was very good, Ko made some crazy kick shots. Ko won with no shootout. Gorst won first set Ko the last two. Very entertaining
That must be why he's in last 16! LOL
that was very impressive.
No shootout in the lsat 64.
if the third set reaches 3-3 there's a shootout
chang beat albin, filler beat sczewczyk and they will play each other next. hopefully on the stream table
