Jani Siekkinen, born 19 April 1987 in Helsinki. Competitive sport started in goal on a football pitch and led to a European cheerleading title with Funky Team Gorillaz, before the pool table took over for good.
Full-time pool professional since 2013. The games are 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball and straight pool, and the years at the table show in how quickly another player's mistake becomes visible. Some call him Siego. That's enough of that.
Still competing internationally at Euro Tour and WNT level, with US Open appearances and a best finish around 33rd according to the press. The same game we work through in a session is therefore still being tested every season.
