I spent the night on a friend's boat with pretty rough water. It took me a month to get my stroke back.

This table on the Facebook feed looks like it has fairly generous pockets- like maybe 4 7/8 ? If so, Ruslan running 250 over 10 days of attempts would not be out of the question by a long shot. This guy can play the game very, very well. Tonight was not any sort of indication of his capabilities here. At the American 14.1 a few weeks ago he was one of the guys who looked like he could get up and run 200 or more on those tough pro cut Diamonds with no problem.
The guy who impressed me a great deal at the event with his 14.1 was Fortunski- I liked his game, he just sort of choked up a bit in that semi final match, missing a few makable shots, very different than all of his prior play that week where he looked so very solid.

That too, boat’s really mess me up as well. It’s a terrible problem.

Maybe he just used that number to demonstrate the probability.
I suspect Ruslan will do well, and do better and better the longer he goes.
With SVB, on his warmup day only 10% of his runs were hitting 100. On the '1st' day, 16% of his runs were hitting 100, and on both days '2' and '3' , 29% of his runs were hitting 100.

I once watched Frank " Mac " McGowan play 14.1 against a young fella in the Broadwater Corner Pocket it was all nice fun and games until he insulted Frank who very systematically ran well over 100 + balls and out in his typical form and fashion so anything is possible . Ha ha
I thought I saw that somewhere. No matter, since it is questionable how much time he will have to attempt this. There appears to be no actual allotted time to do this. It could be two days or two weeks. Way too vague for me, as it should be for you as well.
McGown! Many people have misspelled his name. I once ref'd a match for him in L.A. and the hardest thing was keeping track of the score in my head during each lonnnngggg rack of his. I was saying to myself 64 over and over again in my head and then he would make a ball and I would say aloud 65! Then I would have to keep repeating that number in my head for a few minutes until he shot his next ball. He ran something like 88 or 89 balls and I told Fred Whalen I didn't want to ref any more of his matches. Fred just smiled at me and said, "No one else wants to either!" He gave me a $5 bonus for doing that match (on top of my regular $5 pay) and I was a happy camper.

Thank you Jay for correcting me and my mis spelling Frank's last name my Kendal has a wicked spell check at times and I hit post reply to quickly .
Are refs permitted to use click counters? Id be terrible at keeping count.McGown! Many people have misspelled his name.

This actually ended up being a sort of wing shot. He missed the break ball, but the cue ball careened off the stack, off the right cushion, and wacked the break ball in. I’ve actually made the same shot, for all the same reasons.Yow. Talk about your bad break results...

A truth that was not unnoticed.
Some fool was trying to bet he wouldn't ever break 250....
You'd probably want like 5 to 1....and I'd give it
