Anyone else know of a tournament win where the winner was brought to the brink in every round?

No ive never witnessed that i dont think.

And cloon, you've got too much time on your hands pal.

lol!!!

I was looking through the UK marathon tourneys, I always do, and then that came up.

Die hard....Pool style

congrats to him :D

ive never seen it

good spot cloone, i find myself doing similar things, need to find a funkypool anonymous group meeting soon. As someone recently said to me, if one existed it would probably consist of a lot of 14 year girls and I would be done as part of a News of the World sting.

How long did that tournament go on for?

Like the times say, it was the 22:00 tourney, so it kicked off at 22:10 and ended with his win at 01:21 the following morning, 3 hours and 11 minutes later. Note also that he had a bye in round 1, so the first of the six matches probably began at around 22:30, meaning that he would have been playing for a little under three hours.

A normal person comes on here to play pool but clooneman comes on to view every tournament result!

only three hours????!!!

pfffttt no stamina - what an amateur

clooneman...has wayyyyy to much free time!
