What would you do right after entering the last 9 ball that will give you the title of World Pool Masters? How would you react to learn that you have just proclaimed Snooker world champion at the Crucible or just achieved Maximum Break? You would probably also go on the table you like crazy or make a good cry in the theater of Sheffield. The celebrations are one of the most emotional and special moments of any sport, also in pool. So in today's article we highlight seven euphoric moments of the best billiard players in the world.

1- 147 Ali Carter (2008)

Any Maximum Break contains a good dose of adrenaline and ecstasy. World Snooker Championship in 2008 the great "The Captain" Ali Carter scored his first 147 with his friend Peter Ebdon. After making an control exhibition of white and black coming last in the pocket, he bursted of joy, he celebrated with the public and with Ebdon.

2. Appleton and Boyes winning the World Cup of Pool (2014)

Playing at home and after such a tight end with such a dramatic outcome, we expected that the British would take the hands to the head by beating Holland 10-9 (tracing 7-9) in the last edition of the World Cup of Pool. Darren Appleton and Karl Boyes, who failed once the black in the last game, did not believe what had been achieved until boarded the Diamond to celebrate.

3. Europe reigns again in the Mosconi (2014)

In the last Mosconi Cup, the Europeans swept for the fifth consecutive year and returned to celebrate the title in style. Nikos Ekonomopoulos won the last point by beating Shane Van Boening 5-2. Upon entering the last 9, his instinctive reaction was to throw the cue on the table, but quickly caught again not to repeat the same mistake made by Feijen the day before (against Bergman Dutch entered the last 9 and left the cue on the white table while running toward him, the referee took the cue to avoid problems, but it could have been considered a fault.

4. Graeme Dott's Kiss (2006)

They say kissing the cup before time never brings good luck, but in this case Graeme Dott could afford it. Already in the last frame of the end of World Snooker 2006, he did not hesitate to kiss the cup before shooting. Then came the Yes and typical C'mon.

5. Dance of the Philippines (2009)

Again the host couple won the final of the World Cup of Pool 2009, Efren Reyes and Francisco Bustamante. The Filipinos defeated Germany 11-9 in an epic match and unleashed the madness of the public in Manila. By being champions they could not stop jumping, rearing each other and signing autographs.

6. USA recovers Mosconi (2009)

After two editions governed by Europeans, Americans returned in 2009 to win the Mosconi in Las Vegas. Shane Van Boening achieved the final point defeating Souquet 6-2.

7. The most emotional victory of Ali Larter (2015)

And we close this top 7 of celebrations with a very recent and very different from the other six. Probably the most emotional final and direction he has had in a long time a tournament of Snooker. Ali Carter won his first title after overcoming two cancers, the Paul Hunter Classic. Twist of fate: in the competition which each year honors champion Paul Hunter, who died of cancer in 2006, someone who had overcome twice the same disease won. After beating Murphy in the final, Carter could not hold back the tears and the audience could not stop applauding.
