If you were offered to play for 30K in a team match, but you had a chance to win 250K elsewhere, what would you pick? Seems like a no-brainer to me.

The totally nuts part of the video is that Rob Raiford predicted the shot.

There is a private club in Minneapolis with nice carom tables.

Emily's comment "he's definitely a future world champion" (need it even be said that in her eyes, the World 9ball is the only world championship) seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Forgive me, but I haven't seen anything yet from Manas that would cause me to concur. I recall at the 2017 Mosconi how Filler went undefeated, was the Mosconi MVP, and was the best player on either team. At that point, it would have been reasonable to predict the greatness that would be coming soon for Filler. I don't get anything near the same feeling here with Manas.

So, I will dissent and say that Manas does not look like a future world champion to me. That said, I'd be happy to be wrong on this, and wish him every possible success. I'd call him a young player with a lot of promise. I saw Strickland, Filler, Gorst, Hopkins and Pagulayan all play when they were teenagers. As teens, they were much further along than Manas is today relative to the pros of their respective days.

Manas appeared to indicate he saw the foul, too, in an interview after the match.

You wrote "Not buying the BS lie the Ko preferred to be in China".

They obviously did. You're flat out wrong.
