To help kick off the week, the tour wishes to welcome on board its latest event sponsor, Instroke Cases. Instroke is the official case for this year’s World Summit of Pool event.

This annual event has been a staple in the professional pool community for numerous years and looks to be another fantastic opportunity for the men to strut their stuff at the game of 9-ball in this championship arena with an incentive of $20,000 guaranteed added. A little fun for the players and spectators alike will be had on Wednesday, June 3, at 8 p.m. via a pro-am/meet the pros mixer.
