BSP is correct. They fell out over a game and decided to duel, only instead of using pistols they used billiard balls. Lenfant was hit in the forehead and died instantly.

Yeah I knew about that.
Personally,I think that snooker could adopt that instead of having respotted blacks. Death match snooker.
Anyway moving on - which snooker player reputedly has a third nipple?

Apparently Monsieur Lenfant informed his opponent "this knocks you out of the top 16..."
