                    [Summary] => 

In a shocking reversal of earlier pledges, International Pool Tour officials began informing players on Nov. 3 that the $3 million in winnings owed them from the IPT World Open 8-ball Championship would be reduced by a third to $1 million.


The announcement was just the latest bombshell from the troubled tour, which had notified players last week that the three remaining events on its 2006 schedule – representing $2.27 million in prize money – have been postponed for next year.

Questions on how and when Reyes would be able to collect the amount came in the wake of reports that IPT owner Kevin Trudeau would declare bankruptcy, which already led to the cancellation of an IPT event slated late this month in London.
