Lisciotti defeated Rich Riggie in a 14.1 challenge match at Gold Crown Billiards in New London, Connecticut in 1971. After missing six consecutive nine-ball shots in a row, Lisciotti had had enough and said, 'If he's going to kill me, let him!'

It happened five more times, each time Lisciotti was getting ready to shoot a game-winning shot. He missed the shot, as the bullet flew over his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black, shiny object pointing directly at his head as he was getting ready to shoot the nine-ball in the pocket.
