this show was on challenge tv (sky124) last night. i have seen it before but i thought id point it out to you all. its like a mix of game show and pool where four amatuers get $5000 each and bet and play each other gambling on everything from racks to making a ball and then one remains and takes all $20,000 if it was anything but pool i would probally say its typical american trash but it is pool so its BRILLIANT !!!

Last year here in the states, Ewa Mataya hosted a similar program. Is this the same one?

yeah, this series was shown on challenge about a year ago here in the u.k lol, keep up guys  Not a bad show really, it all depends on which episode, There are a couple of episodes with all 4 players being top notch, was really impressed. There's also a couple though which is just full of bangers. Not sure i like some of the rules they have made up for it though, like when it gets into the last round, and if a player misses a shot, thier opponent gets ball in hand :/ Bit wierd really.... suppose it just speeds up the program a bit, really frustrates me though lol [ This message was edited by: Moco on 2007-04-05 20:06 ]

Good fun none the less. Good to see any kind of pool on TV. Even if it is a bizarre $20,000 one frame of pool!!
