Francisco Sanchez Ruiz vs Gary Wilson | Last 16 | 2023 UK Open Pool Championship 

You summarized it perfectly. FSR…Zzzz and Gary too quick.

Why do pool players call the double a bank shot?

@@SaltyDingleberry3000 I went ahead and looked it up. Apparently this usage of "bank" is an American thing. It's used in other sports as well, like banking a basketball off the backboard. From the source I found: "Billiards history tells us that during the early 19th century, American craftsmen began to make tables. Billiard tables originally had flat vertical walls for rails, and their only function was to keep the balls from falling off the table. The rails resembled river banks, and used to be called banks."

You're travelling through time !! 😂

Pretty sure Pool is starting to have a similar prize pool to snooker, and in some cases even more so

@@CRuane02 No it wont. Snooker is slowly converting to china and China has unlimited financial options.

@@udtojanpestillos2094 true, but chinese 8 ball also paying big bucks

We aint got all day

Usually just snooker snobs put their snouts into pool, simply because pool players do not give a damn about snooker.

@@danender5555 You should know that Joshua Filler, Jayson Shaw, Chris Melling, FSR and many other Players play in snooker leagues and compete in smaller national tournaments. Specially FSR who won the European Amateur Championship in i think 2021 is very active in snooker.

Then why prize money in snooker is so much higher?
