Congrats to Efren. That's so cool. :smile:
Poor Superman really is the proverbial bride's maid in pool. But, hey, next best thing to coming in first is coming in second. :wink:
I don't they streamed it live. Although they taped it for later release.
It was streamed but was constantly buffering for me. I would see ten seconds then wait fifteen minutes for another 10 sec.
Congrats to Efren.
I was up till 3 watching it.
Sadly, I've never seen worse sharking for a pro-finals match.
The ref should have put a gag order on both players. They were talking heavily.

What happened, Joey? I didn't get to see the finals on the video, if there was one. The pool players were talking, Superman and Efren?

Joey-
Was Efren talking sh#t? Wow. I have only seen him play a couple of times. I have only seen him where his play on the table did the talking.
Superman-I could believe.
What's the story?
They were both jumping off their chairs as soon as the other guy missed or played safe.
They were both talking. Right after they shot to the audience.
I saw Efren blatantly move in front of Gomez while he was shooting at a ball in that corner. Gomez was blatantly moving on his chair too when Efren was shooting in the final game.
They both had microphones. It might the last time they are going to do that. They were both using foul languages after a bad shot or a bad roll.
It was a sloppy match, honestly. They each had 5 errors easily. Gomez ahead at 5-1 one time and then he let Efren inch back in. Efren looked lost early and Gomez was just cruising.
Jay was there doing the color. He commented there was a lot of sharking one time after Gomez started talking to the audience after he shot.
The ref missed one call even when Efren shot a combo but did not call it. He also sharked Gomez one time when he called a timeout even though Gomez hadn't called for one yet.
Sorry Jay, but the table looked like it played bad. It banked real short and it made a horrible sound . I'm guessing the rails aren't bolted thru the slate.
What a great match!!! I was lucky enough to be sitting almost front row, center of the table.
I have to disagree with Joey. Overall the match was fine, loose and neither player seemed to mind.
The one thing I don't agree with is the players getting up out of thier chair to look at a questionable leave by their opponenet. That happened quite a few times. I would rather see them stay in their chair and sit quietly.
Overall it was a very setup and run very smoothly. No issues at all.
I leave Manila later today, but really wish I could stay!!
