About Allen Hopkins

Allen Hopkins was born on November 18, 1951 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. At seven years old, after watching many tournaments on television, Allen began to play pool on a small table his parents bought him. At the age of twelve, this amateur ran an amazing one-hundred ten balls, and took this talent to play against all grown men. By the age of seventeen this pool genius went professional and took fifth place in the US Open. In 1977, Hopkins earned the title in both the US Open 9-Ball and World Straight Pool Tournaments. In 1981 he won the US Open 9-Ball, and in 1983 won the World 9-Ball Tournament. In 1986 and 1987, Hopkins was the champion of the Japan World Open, and in 1993 had a great victory in the Challenge of Champions. For the last thirty years, Hopkins has been a commentator on ESPN and remains an active player both at the tables and as a speaker.
