Since Mike Segal is the current "King of the Hill", and will wait to play the winner of the tournament, is he not gauranteed, at least, the 2nd place money? If true, $150 grand for the first IPT event, 100 grand (guessing on the amount) for the second. Thats a quarter of a million for, in essence, winning one match (the exhibition with Loree Jon Jones). So when he beat LJJ, he didn't win 150 grand, he won 250 grand. Is that the most ever earned by a pool player in one year?
So far, it seems like that.
Top money winners. This is tournament money only and might not be 100 percent accurate. The source was AZ Billiards money list.
