Shane Van Boening added another major title to his illustrious career in 2026, claiming the Florida Open Pool Championship in Orlando with a 13-5 victory over Alexander Kazakis in the final. The triumph marked a long-awaited redemption for the five-time US Open champion, who had reached the Florida Open final two years earlier.

SVB has built one of the most decorated careers in professional pool, capturing the 2022 World Pool Championship and an impressive five US Open titles. He came close to extending his own record in 2024, reaching the US Open final before falling just short against Fedor Gorst.

Further cementing his legacy, Van Boening claimed the 2024 Premier League Pool title, adding yet another major accolade to his decorated résumé. His dominance over the years also earned him the prestigious title of ‘Player of the Decade’ for the 2010s, as awarded by Billiards Digest.
