Originally posted by ale1552I've met quite a few people who would be considered as famous on the billiards circuit, though I'm not sure how famous they are outside of it. I actually shot an exhibition match against Mika Immonen and used to play against Corey Deuel fairly regularly when he was a youngster in the Philly area. I've also met Johnny Archer, Ewa Mataya-Laurance, and Mike Sigel, among others.
