Turning Stone Classic XXIX Updates - 2018

[Cardigan Kid]

Shaw ran over Hewitt in 40 minutes 9 to 2.

I just don't see Shaw losing again.

This Spahiu guy means business.
Mike announced that he was part of the Albanian snooker Association.
Never relax around snooker players.

 

[Cardigan Kid]

Shaw's in trouble. This kid can break and doesn't miss much.
Spahiu up 4-1

 

[PoolBum]

You're accurate about James Gleason.
Danny just can't help it. He's very old and longs for the days when he was young and "knew everything".
I could do without his boxing history stuff......which has been repeated over and over for years.
He was a great pool player and still knows a LOT about the game. He just doesn't know when to shut up.
:grin:

Danny tells a lot of true stories that are false.

 

[PoolBum]

Shaw is history. Spahiu beats him 9-6.

 

[Cardigan Kid]

Shaw is history. Besar beats him 9-6.

Besar Spahiu, 4 break and runs to close out Shaw after sitting in the seat for a while.
Rock solid fundamentals. Welcome to the big leagues.
No one saw this coming.

A lot of people ‘in the know’ seem to forget that not everybody is....
...Danny is excellent for everybody...the game needs a broader appeal.

I’ve heard a lotta hep talk and inside jokes on streams....and the spectators that can’t hit
the end rail and thinks Mosconi invented the wireless need something they can relate to.

 

[Danimal]

He had the quote of the tournament at Kid D's expense.
And I love the Kid!
Anybody catch it?
......
If there truly is a no soft break policy. Zuglan needs to talk to Cisero!

I cracked up when I heard it. Having to do with Kid D beating the world two times :grin-devilish:

 

[SBC]

Could this be the year Hatch wins it all?
I'm pulling for him.

 

[AtLarge]

Almost. It was a 3-pack. Jayson broke in Game 12, so we can't count that as a B&R. Jayson has the only 4-pack on the stream so far; it was last night against Wilkie.

Correct.
It was 3 out of 4.

He gave Dennis all he could handle too.

Not bad for first time at turning stone coming in 4th.

If I can remember correctly, Maxim Dudanets 19 year old from Russia played in turning stone for first time and came in 5th.
What is best appearance by first time at turning stone classic?

Maybe 2007, lee van Corteza who won it.

 

[Cardigan Kid]

Could this be the year Hatch wins it all?
I'm pulling for him.

Absolutely, many here are.
He's almost there!!

 

[guelphdad]

Don't know about others, but hill-hill, I felt sick when Cicero hit that 8 ball and hooked himself on the 7 after that show of sportsmanship, was pulling for him to win against Thorpe.

Joey Cicero vs Billy Thorp rules Turning Stone

rules are you loose two games if you dump the nine after giving opponent the table back .

otherwise you can't in anyway get mad and push the nine down the hole because you missed the shot before


well Joey Cicero said he wanted to continue the match even though he won because Billy Thorp push the nine in the hole illegally

Do you think that was wise He Lost the Match LOL

Very sporting of Cicero. Hope he prevails against Hatch and has the rematch against Thorpe.

 

[Lumocolor]

Darn Canadians are too nice for their own good. Shaw would have jumped up, screamed "you lose Ahole" and done a little dance in his face.

Admirable move...

 

[Mole Eye]

Might be too nice, but he just gained a fan. I'm pulling for Thorpe, but I hope Cicero makes it back to the final.

 

[justabrake]

You ever let up on an opponent and loose same thing letting someone back in is not a good idea and this just proves it

 

[PoolBum]

Some interesting comments from Johnny on the stream.

Straightest shooters he's ever seen:

1. Earl Strickland
2. Dennis Hatch
3. Mika Immonen

Best player he's ever played: Buddy Hall

 

[Cardigan Kid]

Hatchetman is looking good. Relaxed. Taking his time.
