SVB will be the first millionaire pool player??

[logical]

I think most pool players start out with nothing and still have most of it left.

Big difference between being a millionaire and having earned a million dollars over many years.

Exactly. The later is much easier. But harder than it should be for a top Pro Pool player IMO.

It was one of the most amazing things ever in pool for sure.

About the time Earl was on 5 racks you started hearing people say Earl is on a 5 pack.

And that is when somebody had to go tell CJ to get the camera as the rules stated that the last 5 racks had to be filmed and racked by a neutral racker to win the million.

By the time Earl was on 7 or 8 the whole packed pool room went dead silent, all other tables stopped play and all eyes were sweating Earl the pearl now.

As Earl made the 1-9 combo to win the million the whole pool room erupted and Earl jumped about six feet in the air and pool history was made.

his pool earnings will give him the opportunity to make himself wealthy. he'll be in the black when he stops competing seriously. He invests his winnings I've heard, he's got a good head on his shoulders. the last several years he's made 100+k in winnings per year, he's part owner of a room, etc.... I don't know many pool players who have done that. actually, most are pretty broke, bc they end up gambling it all away.

Most pool players are broke
Because there is no money in pool.

If you wanna make a million playing pool, start with 5 million.....

Are you counting those who are millionaires before becoming pool players, too?

Shane's favorite table

Just curious. Does anybody know for sure if Shane has continued to do well financially? I just don't see how it's possible with the expenses and payouts.

Shane has over half a million invested here...

You're saying Shane likes to donate to Casinos? If so, that's sad.

Shane will be fine after his pool playing career is over. He has managed his money well and made some prudent investments. He could quit pool now and be okay!
