Is it okay to put a 2000 pound pool table on a wood floor, supported by a concrete pier and beam founation?

This house is about fifty years old and the floors are original and sturdy. I have a very heavy antique pool table that weighs about 2000 pounds, 10 feet by four and a half feet. My wife says it will fall through the floor. I think it is ok because the weight will be distributed.
