The Dutch version’s format is inspired by this big phenomenon but there’s more to the history of the event. The venue hosting the event is named after the oldschool pool hustler’s hangout ‘Ames’ where Minnesota Fats in the 1961 movie ‘The Hustler’ plays Fast Eddie Felson in a 25 hour lasting straighpool match.

Greatly inspired by the Derby City Classic and American pool-hustler scene Dutch organizers came up with the Deurne City Classic. The 2nd Annual ‘Predator’ 2014 edition will be held on May 9th through 11th 2014 and will have a guaranteed prize-fund of €10.000,- for the 9ball Main Event.

On Friday May 9th this edition will host several side-events like One-Pocket and 9ball Bankpool tournaments, a 14.1 Shootout and multiple ringgames with different stakes. All in all there will be enough to satisfy every pool-players` needs.
