[Scaramouche]

According to the commentary, Selby won the 8-Ball Championship last year, 20,000 pound, more than $40,000.

At the World Snooker Championships he is leading in the number of Centuries in the competition.

Now he is in the final of the World Snooker Championship, so he will have a good payday.

Of course, if he can put up a 147 he would get 147,000 pounds for the 147 and another 10,000 pounds for the high break of the tournament. That's about $315,000.

Back in 1972 the winner of the tournament got 480 pounds, as impoverished as American pool is today. So things can improve.
