SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO-AM) -- Watch out China, here comes The South Dakota Kid!

The South Dakota Kid, 33, is former Rapid Citian and now Sioux Falls resident Shane Van Boening. He is the number 1 ranked player in the United States Professional Poolplayers Association.

He is oft to Beijing tomorrow for a big tournament there. He just returned from England, where two thousand spectators watched a tournament.

He says pool isn't as big as it used to be on TV but it's making a comback. 

Van Boening is hearing impaired but it hasn't stopped him from being a champion.

Oh, and some pool advice? Treat the cue ball like you're aiming a gun!

Van Boening taped an interview for next week with Bill Zortman's It's Your Business. Shane spoke with KELO Radio's Todd Epp Friday.
