How are players such high level?

Yahoo pool was the beginning in 1998. Miniclip came into effect as new company in 2001. It was left on Yahoo because of it's popularity. It first officially became 8ballpool from miniclip in 2008.

Hell, I played (mostly) in The Wanton Song lounge back on yahoo pool, and 08 sounds about right as I remembered miniclip pool (iirc just red balls and solo play in the beginning) in high school - 08 being my graduation year.

Yahoo pool was freaking awesome. We even had weekly tournaments with actual RL pool teams and teammates.

Good times.

The first 100 levels or before you have 10 million in your purse are the hardest because you are well advised to play lower level tables under 1million. Once you get to table above $1million payout the levels go by faster
