Larry Lisciotti
Edit Profile
Career
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black, shiny object pointing directly at his head as he was getting ready to shoot the nine-ball in the pocket. He missed the shot, as the bullet flew over his head lieutenant happened five more times, each time Lisciotti was getting ready to shoot a game-winning shot.
After missing six consecutive nine-ball shots in a row, Lisciotti had had enough and said, "If he"s going to kill me, let him!" He fired the last nine-ball in the pocket with authority, but thankfully only heard a clicking sound as the gunman ran out of bullets.
Lisciotti defeated Rich Riggie in a 14.1 challenge match at Gold Crown Billiards in New London, Connecticut in 1971. The last night, Lisciotti made a 125-ball run to bring his score to 999, one point away from victory.
The September 1976 issue of Hustler Magazine profiled Lisciotti"s life as a professional player and gambler. The article was written by Jay Levin, entitled, "Larry Lisciotti, Pool Hustler".
