Pool sharks from across the country are gathering in the Biggest Little City this weekend to compete for thousands of dollars in prizes.
The 19th Annual Bar Table Championships are being held at the Grand Sierra Resort through Sunday.
Organizers say the event attracts a range of talent – from amateurs to some of the best worldwide.
"It gets tougher every year. We've got some of the top-ranked players in the world playing in our events, probably half the field," tournament Director Bill Stock tells us.
The tournament has been held in Reno for most of its existence but this is the first time it's been at the Grand Sierra Resort. It moved there because the tournament is growing and they need more room for more tables.
