EARL STRICKLAND VS TONY ELLIN - 1993 US Open 9-Ball Championship Finals
Hurricane “Tony Ellin” was taken from the pro pool scene much too young, back in 2000. Not many of todays pool fans have had the chance to see Ellin in top form. This is a rare chance to see the powerful break that Ellin was especially known for.
Here, he faced “The Pearl” Earl Strickland in the finals of the 1993 US Open 9-Ball Championship. Strickland had already won this event twice in his career, and was looking for career win number three.
This was a race to eleven, Texas express rules.
Grady Mathews and Ed Sheahan manned the commentary booth.

For me... This was best era in pool. No carbon fiber shafts, players had style, the sound of the ball dropping into the pocket was pure music. This was the era that inspired me most. RIP Tony Ellin
Tony Ellin had a crazy powerful break
Poor table... Jesus that's a powerful break! 😬
More Toni Ellin please!
Love this era. Watching this on ESPN back in this era got me into playing pool. Was 10 at the time. I agree with albert333pool. Love the sound of wood compared to CF. Earl Strickland is the best. For him to play with a Cutetec with no bells and whistles is astonishing
I can’t even begin to wrap my head around that break!!!
One of my favorite on the road moments was watching my brother (Jeremy), who was quite large at the time, playing Tony some tennis for cash.. lol..
Grady in the Booth, 2 of my all time favorite players, Tony is still sorely missed, He was a great human being, don't make many like him, We love and miss you Hurricane Tony
15k back then was ok gas was about 86 cents a gallon I was stationed in VA Beach Fort Story during this years 91-95 great pool back then
RIP Tony Ellin
I mean... those last 6 racks Earl won... billiard perfection. I never loved Earl's antics/temper... which ironically enough might be the only reasons he ever lost... but GD. This was an insane performance.
Hurricane Tony Ellin was so great!!! Damn shame!!!
Earl lookin super fit
jump stick is ridiculous, Earl is so smart he knew it a long time ago.
Strickland at his best
RIP Tony!! NC vs SC in the finals 30 yrs ago.
Not a big fan of Strickland but, that’s not taking away from his game. Great match.
RIP Tony “Hurricane “ Ellin
tony ellin was a beast, wish he could’ve pulled it off, RIP
Wait they had jump cues in 1993?
