This was the second year I traveled to the Super Billiards Expo in Oaks, Pennsylvania. Billed as the largest consumer-oriented trade show in the industry, with over 150 vendor booths, more than 200 barbox tables in over 225,000 square feet of exhibit space.

During the expo, there is a professional tournament being run concurrently with many amateur events. Of course on the fringes, there is some of the expected high-stakes gambling.

Here are a small selection of images from the event:
