Enjoyable & very entertaining to watch. Great sportsmanship from all players. Nothing wrong with having a beer & a smoke between matches.👍🍻

I remember seeing Machine Gun Lou when I was a kid in the videos that came along with 1995's virtual pool for the PC. Still remember the Canoga Park Curve, blew my mind when I saw him do that the first time. Great to see him in actual match.

Bratje v Listri in v Ikóniju so imeli o njem zelo dobro mnenje. Pavel ga je hotel vzeti s sabo, zato ga je dal obrezati. To je storil zaradi Judov, ki so živeli v tistih krajih; vsi so namreč vedeli, da je bil njegov oče Grk.” Apostolska dela 16:1-3 SSP
