A CHARITY has pocketed a healthy sum after a former world champion pool player took to the table in Ipswich.
Challengers paid a £3 donation to take on Carl “Houdini” Morris, the 1998/99 eight-ball champion, at the Buttermarket shopping centre.
The cash raised will go to the Hearing Care Centre in Ipswich.

Around 70 shoppers took on the pros, with only three managing to secure victories.
