DigitalPool has a "Performance" page that shows 918 for Morra for the event vs. his 793 FargoRate. I don't know whether those performance numbers are calculated the way Mike Page would do it.
Where are the vids?
incredible. didn't he beat atencio in the florida open too?
Did you ever see Dechaine in action there? He'd get them all doing it.
I know the guy has a shit attitude, but it's 2026. You'd think he would've outgrown that childish crap by now. And someone on the mic seemed to be encouraging that crap which makes me wonder if they have it out vs Zuglan or something? What a weird commentator.
That's probably who upstate wanted me to be in the booth with lol. May not have gone smooth and I like Bobby

I'm happy for Morra. I don't know him personally, but he seems like a humble gentleman, an asset and ambassador to our sport. I never heard anything bad about him. I believe he took 2nd place at the Turning Stone when he was 15 or 16 years old. Hopefully this performance will stoke his confidence and we'll see him turn the corner from a decent pro to an elite pro. He's still young!
Morra talked about that in an interview after the Final. He finished second to Archer at TS VIII in Feb. 2007 (although John thought it was 20 years ago rather than 19) at age 17. He said he went home, dropped out of high school, and started pursuing pro pool. He also finished second to Shaw at TS XXIII in Jan. 2015.
Morra dedicated his win to Mika Immonen; they had become good friends.
Wow, 2007. I can't believe it was that long ago; I was there watching and it seemed like 7 or 8 years ago. Never mind that young comment I made, I thought he was mid 20s. Still a good dude though.
agree 1000000%.
Is there also a way to see what his fargo rate is right handed vs left ? He's so smooth when he's playing righty. Lefty not as smooth but I think he is winning more as a lefty
huh? the whole event was on UpstateAl FB page and Sharkstream yt channel.
