The most historic event in nineball heads back to Harrah’s Resort, Atlantic City, from 18–23 August. In 2024, Fedor Gorst etched his name into the history books by defeating five-time winner Shane Van Boening to claim his first US Open title—and complete the ‘Gorst Slam’. This year, the prize fund climbs to an impressive $500,000, with a mighty $100,000 going to the winner in World Nineball Tour ranking points. Can Gorst defend his title, will Van Boening make it a record sixth, or is it time for a new king of the States?
