European Open Pool Championship 2024 prize money: How much is on offer to nineball stars in Germany?

POOL players are currently battling it out to become champion of the European Open Championship 2024 – and there is a lot of prize money up for grabs.

Spanish star David Alcaide pipped Anton Raga to the 2023 title in what turned out to be a thrilling final.

And as a result, Alcaide took home $30,000 just from winning the final alone.

But fellow countryman Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, German icon Joshua Filler and British star Jayson Shaw will all be hoping to snatch the crown from Alcaide.

Not only that, but they’ll all be battling for a nice cash reward this year too.
