World Cup of Pool

Taipei keeping the phillipines in their seat with another BNR.

7-5 phillipine

 

[gopi-1]

Ko Pin-Yi pocketed the 8 ball on the break and 5 balls made it past the headstring for a legal break.
The 3 ball is blocking the pocket for the 1 but Chang calmly sank the combination. The rest was easy
as ABC and the Taiwanese are nipping on the Filipinos heels now. It's 7 games to 4 Philippines but the
Taiwanese are still breaking..

Chang pocketed the 2 on the break but the 7 is blocking the 1 ball's path. Ko Pin-Yi shot
the combination like it was nothing. Another b&r by the Taiwanese to cut the Pinoys' lead to 2...

Taipei makes a ball on the break and then Ko handles a one-seven combo skillfully, and the runout is completed for 7-5 behind.

So far, Lee Van's scratch on the break has cost three racks (and counting). It's getting interesting.

 

[gopi-1]

Ko Pin-Yi pocketed 3 balls on the break and was rewarded with an easy layout. Could be another b&r for the Taiwanese...

 

[gopi-1]

... and the lead is down to 1. Another b&r by the Taiwanese to bring them closer, 7 games to 6 Philippines

 

[gopi-1]

Two balls went down on Chang's break and the balls are all spread out. We could have a tied match in a few...

 

[sjm]

Now 7-6 after Taipei breaks and runs another. What a match! Let's see if they can come back from 7-2.

 

[fishless]

Some very impressive scotch doubles.

 

[gopi-1]

We have a horse race, we're all tied at 7 games apiece!

 

[gopi-1]

WOW! Tit for tat! Ko Pin-Yi scratches on the break!

 

[Tickets]

WOW! Tit for tat! Ko Pin-Yi scratches on the break!

They all open?

 

[sjm]

Four pool playing giants out there doing battle! What a match!

 

[sjm]

After Ko's scratch on the break, an exquisite Orcullo safety locks up Taipei very tight in rack 15. The result is ball in hand and Team Philippines runs out to reach the hill at 8-7.

 

[fishless]

Great match, should make for an exciting finals.

 

[gxman]

wow wow wow!!

what a match..

 

[jay helfert]

Great run out by Team Philippines to win the match!
Lee Vann makes a delicious cut shot on the one and Dennis must play a snaking position shot from the three to the four! This was a brilliant match between two GREAT teams.

 

[gopi-1]

In a tension filled 16th rack, Dennis hollered out a yell, "Hindi na sasablay yan!!!", meaning, I can't possibly miss this, after making the 9 to douse the hopes of the Taiwanese of a first ever finals appearance in this tournament. What a great match!

 

[arps]

Great run out by Team Philippines to win the match!

Great match. Final match Philippines vs Holland starts at 1:00 eastern or 10:00 am pacific. Another 1 and 1/2 hours more to go.

Nope, just sweating it on my computer. The live feed is super, just like TV.
