Craig Blachut is making the trip from Perth, Western Australia for his first Agent Ong Open — and he’s been building toward this moment for a long time.
He started bowling at 8 years old, growing up around AMF Morley while his parents bowled league. By 15, he had already shot his first 300 and 800.
From there, the game took him through state teams, coaching, and eventually into running his own shop — Chop Shop Pro Shop.
Like a lot of bowlers, his journey wasn’t straight. He stepped away from the game for nearly 10 years, came back just to bowl league… and slowly found that competitive fire again.
Now he’s traveling, competing, and even made the trip to the Malaysian Open in 2024 before battling through an arm injury to get back.
His goal is simple — represent Australia.
He heard about the event from Sam Cooley and decided it was time to make the trip.
Now he’s heading to Vegas to compete against some of the best in the world.
And if he doesn’t answer you the first time… you might be on his bad ear 😝
We’re excited to have Craig Blachut All In 2026.
Friday Night Action Match Presented by South Point Pro Shop
It’s official.
Kyle Troup vs Havel Wright III
$2,500 each. $5,000 to the winner.
Kyle Troup needs no introduction. One of the most electric players in the world. Showman. Shot maker. Champion. The kind of player who thrives when the lights get brighter and the pressure gets heavier. He’s been on the biggest stages our sport has to offer, and he knows exactly how to perform when everything is on the line.
And now he’s got a challenger.
Havel Wright III
A competitor who has lived in action his whole life. Not something new. Not something he’s stepping into. This is where he’s been built.
From New Jersey league nights filled with competition and money on the line, to years of bowling for something every time he steps on the lanes, Havel brings a different kind of edge. This isn’t just experience. This is comfort in the moment.
He keeps it simple. Respectful. But understands there are no ties.
When the opportunity came to take this match, there was no hesitation.
“I woke up and felt DIFFERENT.”
This isn’t just a match. It’s a clash of environments.
Big stage pro experience vs a lifetime of action.
Spotlights and TV lights vs pressure that’s been there from day one.
And now those worlds meet.

Late last night I got a video message from Kyle Troup… and he’s got a message for the bowling world.
The challenge is still out there for October at the Agent Ong Open IV – ALL IN in Las Vegas… and so far no one has stepped up.
Kyle says he’s coming for the cash.
So the question is simple…
