Just watched 2003 US Open McCready vs. Hall

I can think of one other instance...Johnny Archer and Efren were playing on the TV table, (I think it was at the Sands in the mid 90's)...

Rudolpho Luat and Earl Strickland were playing on the adjacent table, Luat was ahead 10-8, and shooting an easy 9 ball for the match.

He dogged it, and Strickland made the most amazing jump shot/combination ever seen in the next rack, and ran out to tie it up...Memory fails me as to who won that match, but I'm pretty sure it was Earl.

Johnny was visibly agitated that Pat was making him wait to break, so Rick could film the other match. :)

Hey 420, I think with the Sands coverage, Accu Stat was purposely covering two tables, almost like the way they would televise two matches at the same time, in the old Ultimate 9 Ball events from Florida.

If you have a chance to check the US Open match, they actually took the camera off the brightly lit TV table and angled it back on a barely lit side table. I think the reason why they did that was because the noise and cheering were so loud that they where disrupting the TV table, next to them. I guess they figured to pause the TV table play for that reason?
