Hardest rack i've ever seen ran from the one ball

I have a statement and a question.

Statement: Just when I start to think I can shoot a little pool, I am brought down to Earth :sorry: by watching a demonstration such as this one.

Question: I noticed that this match/tournament was being filmed by ESPN Live. My question is, if ESPN has this footage in their archives, then how come we are subjected to the same old WPBA and Tournament of Champions programming that has so often been repeated :(????

Things were different back in the mid 90's... Twas "pre-poker" for one.

BTW, thanks for posting that link. That was bad ass schnitz right there. That table looked tight as a tick too. That po off the 4 to the 5 was great (and exactly as I'd have tried it - I was calling for it all along. However, I'd have surely pounded the CB into the rail first and jarred it for a seller!)
 
That was a tough out. Sounded like Jay doing the commentary. Man, they get nice size crowds in the PI for pool.

This isn't a rack ran from the one, but a fun game to watch between Francisco Bustamante and Chao Fong Pang. Enjoy

I was going to post this link. I just wish I could find it with the U.S. commentary because if you recall Hopkins was going ape-sh!t. No doubt the wildest rack I've ever seen. And it was a hill/hill rack for $50K.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it was an easy out, I know you were kidding, but anyone mid B level or higher has come across a rack or 2 that you were sure you wouldn't get out of but things came together and you did it.

I'm impressed with the guys play, of course, but at that level.....he made a good run out, not an impossible one.

most difficult shot was the 4 to the 5, he controlled that very well
