SVB vs Wu
- Thread starter dreadzz
- Start date
......
A little off-topic .
Minhiub, with all the respect, it's you who need to go to see more snooker
. Don't see a youtube video about Ronnie and think that he's god in all aspects. I love Ronnie , he is - like Stephen Henry - one of the best BREAK BUILDER and of course uncontestabely the most talented player ever pick up a snooker's cue .
But Judd Trump is SPECIAL , his potting skill is unreal , as said by Ronnie " Never seen anyone potting that good, it's scary " and by the coach at Q-School who coachs both Judd Trump and Ronnie "Judd Trump is the most talented player he ever coachs after Ronnie " .
Back to topic, congrats to SVB , great come back , he's now my 1st favorite for the throne :thumbup:.
Just to set the record straight. Shane was up 7-3 and then Wu came back to make it 8-6. Wu broke, made a ball and missed the one. Shane ran out to win the match 9-6.
Just to set the record straight one more time (w/all due respect for Jay): I just got off the facebook chat w/Shane and this is what he said happened:
"I (SVB) was up 4-3 , up 7-3, up 8-6 and hill hill he broke miss the 1 and I ran out."
Ok, so Jay is right about the scores but according to Shane, it did go to hill-hill before Shane won it. He says he next plays tomorrow, about 24 hours from now.
Go Shane!

Not exactly, it was a hill-hill match.
From Ted Lerner's report on az frontpage :
"Van Boening, however, nearly found himself on the ropes and in the losers bracket. He was up 7-3 in the race to 9, alternate break contest. But Wu fought back to close to 7-6. Van Boening pushed the score line to 8-6, before Wu rallied to tie. Wu broke in the final rack and potted a ball, but uncharacteristically played a bad safety on the 1, which left the American a clear shot. In his trademark nonchalant style, Van Boening picked off the remaining colors for the big win."
Thanks Dave. How I'd love to see Shane win a World Championship! Am I dreaming? :wink:
That match with SVB must have taken a lot out of WU because he just suffered his second defeat and is now out of the tournament. At one point, he was behind 4 to 7, managed to bring it to hill and eventually lost 8 to 9 to a never heard of player from Poland, Mariusz Skoneczny.
That Jay ... always on top of things :thumbup::
Jay, I hope you're not dreaming, that would be great if Shane won...on so many levels. :thumbup:
What you said makes absolutely no sense to me about Wu playing more international events...He is NEVER in the states or at least never does any good here and I highly doubt there is a player out there right now that travels more internationally for pool than SVB. Wu plays in Asia predominently, so what we would consider international is not international for everybody you have to remember that.
I probably don't know SVB well enough to make such a statement. However, are you implying that all Asian countries are the same, and travelling between Asian countries to play pool doesn't count as travelling internationally? But if I may ask, can you tell me where SVB has travelled to to play? Thanks.
Everywhere. Seriously.
Can you list some of the countries and the tournaments he played in? Just curious.
Americas last best hope

I do agree with that Wu and other Taiwanese players should travel to here in the US more. However, there's quite a lot of prize money in Asia already and that the travel expenses are really not worth the risk. I think the biggest factor is the language. None of the Taiwanese players speak any sort of English, while for any other English speaking player, they can communicate anywhere in the world. I think to be better recognized as international pool players, the Taiwanese players should try to break that language barrier and give the US a try instead of only choosing to participate in international events when they are able to travel with a team.
Just this year:
Results thus far (not bad for the South Dakota "Kid"):
Just google his name and type biography -- lots of stuff

Thanks. It's a shame that less and less players collectively are travelling across the world these days. I remember when I was younger in Taiwan, I would see most of the top American players show up in the tournaments including Early, Archer, Nick Varner, and so forth.
