US Open Pool Championship 2024: Schedule, results, TV, LIVE STREAM as Barry Hearn and Goldstein crash OUT in first round
All eyes will be on Harrah's Resort
GRAB your cue sticks nineball fans with the US Open Pool Championship UNDERWAY as 256 players battle it out for the 2024 title.
Ko Ping-Chung currently holds the crown after beating Fedor Gorst in last year’s thrilling final and Barry Hearn and Andy Goldstein have been in action TODAY.
And the defending champion will be determined to reclaim his title as the historic tournament makes its fourth consecutive appearance in New Jersey.
But Ping-Chung is expected to have a tough time in doing so, especially with the likes of Mickey Krause who recently lifted the European Open Pool Championship.
Furthermore, there will be $300,000 worth of WNT ranking points up for grabs across the field and the winner will receive a mega share of the prize pot if players don’t have enough incentive as it is.
SunSport has all the information as well as the latest fixtures and results from the US Open Pool Championship.
When is the US Open Pool Championship 2024?

What has been said?
The two new US Open wildcards Barry Hearn and Andy Goldstein were on TalkSPORT on April 30 to speak about the tournament.
Barry Hearn said: “To walk out there and play against one of 128 players from the World Nineball Tour, which are the 128 best Nineball players in the world, is incredible… If I win one rack in the first round, I’ll sleep happy.”
Responding to Hearn’s doubts of either of the two doing well, Andy Goldstein said: “I think you underestimate me… I actually think I have a chance at winning it.”
