Who was Jason Twist?

Jason “Tornado” Twist won the 8-ball pool world championship four times. By defeating Roger Demortier (France) and Jeremy Hooper (Cornwall, England), he won the WEPF World Rules World Championship twice, in 2000 and 2002, as well as the IPA World Professional Seniors (over 40) Championship twice, in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The WEPF World Rules World Championship was also won by Twist in 2000 and 2002. He resides in the English town of Ilfracombe, which is part of the North Devon county.
