Absolutely right. Shane beat a who's who of pool on the road to victory, with Filler in the round of 16, FSR in the quarters, and Kaci in the semis. Otutside of a WPM final a few years back, he has consistently annihilated Kazakis, and I felt certain he'd win the final.
As you note, Josh has worn SVB out over the years in the biggest spots, but Shane was the better man when they met on Saturday. Actually, if you read my posts, I am in the camp that feels that SVB is still playing the best pool of his life. There's absolutely no reason he cannot win another major soon. Wishing him the best and won't it be fun when SVB and Josh lock horns at the Mosconi a few months from now?
