I am guessing his cue ball was frozen to one of the two object balls. Some of these guys are so good at the break it is like another gather shot for them.
Michael mainly fims 3c and 5 pin game, but every once in a while he will cover free game and Baulkline. Two weeks ago he filmed the Danish 71_2 tournament, the referee in the 71_2 match is the same guy playing in the final of the free game match and both matches have Anders Henrickson in them. I believe Anders Henrickson won both the Free game and 47_2 European Jr. titles a few years back.
The three cushion matches features the top Danish players including Dion Nelin, and Tony Carlsen.
