Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle

Britain's greatest expert at potting snooker balls, Ronnie O'Sullivan, is heading to America to hunt down the country's most notorious pool hustlers. With mate Matt Smith, Ronnie will explore the nation's 300-year love/hate relationship with the game, and will take on the very best pool sharks in the US today. Ever since he was tall enough to see over the table, Ronnie O'Sullivan has been hailed as a genius with a cue. But in the US nobody knows him as a genius. In fact, nobody knows him at all. It's the perfect set-up for a hustle, as Ronnie rocks up at a series of American cities rich in history, seeking out the pool sharks he can take on at their own game. But to be a hustler is to know the hustle, so Ronnie will immerse himself in the local history of the areas he visits, discovering the stories that helped define the place and immersing himself in Americana which will be as alien to 'The Rocket' as he will be to the locals.
