The former Canadian professional snooker player, Jim Wych, who now resides in Las Vegas has been instrumental with the installation of the Championship standard snooker tables in the billiard room, and looks forward to the development of the sport and further snooker events in the entertainment capital of the world.

Event 4 will then move back to Brooklyn in New York as over the weekend of April 9 & 10, the Top 147 Snooker Club will welcome back the USSA to host its second ever Tour Event.
