With Tony G putting all the pressure on Macon_Marc, the final two games came about in astounding fashion. With surgical precision, Macon_Marc managed to win the next 2 games taking the match and the moola. Here is what Macon_Marc had to say after his record breaking win.

“Well that was definitely fun! Nothing like sitting on the couch playing pool online for $5,000. Glad I found this site, its something to keep me entertained away from poker.

Got off to a good start in this match up 2-0. Tony came back and had a chance to tie it up 3-3 if he made a combination on the nine ball, boy I was kinda nervous on that one. He missed and I ended up winning that game. The last rack he broke and scratched and left me a straight in combo on the 9. I had to take it, just wanted to end the match right there. Lined it up and put her to rest.

Thanks to Poolstars staff for making this happen and thanks to Tony G for a good game.“

Tony G was also surprised by the game, saying: “I was outclassed. He was just too good he worked hard all week to get better and won well, look out for the next big match. It could be you taking me on“.

With both players showing ample respect to each other, it was no surprise that the rail birds would chime in with some entertaining comments for Tony, “12:53 [Albinario] on yer bike!“
