We did it! We survived the LARGEST Pool Tournament of all time! Yes, the APA World Pool Championships was a blast and just as crazy as you’d expect. There was a record number of people and more side tournaments than we could count! Two weeks chalk full (😉) of pool, cues, and good times! Please enjoy this recap of our time out in Vegas!
