there will be some players who will win the ipt that will come as a suprise to many. due to the fact that 8-ball is unique, and requires patience, many players we feel couldn't win just might, for instance, ALLEN HOPKINS, this guy is a brain when it comes to one pocket, and straight pool, and let's face it, 8-ball is one pocket and straight pool combined, i believe allen will suprise us. efren reyes, not that it would be a suprise, but between his one pocket and 8-ball skills, he's possibly the favorite? tony robles, grew up on slow nap cloth with tight pockets playing 8-ball!!!! he is a master straight pool player as well, so he will be hard to beat, to say the least! larry schwartz and his 8-ball life of passion and knowledge, watch out for him. nick van den berg is one smart cookie, and can execute under pressure, he will be tough! johl younger is a master 8-ball player with snooker fundementals, he may be an instant star* and as a final note: earl strickland and allen hopkins will LOVE the slow nap cloth becauae allen pokes (which is great for slow nap) and earl hit's e'm hard, which is also great for slow cloth.
