Thursday 2013 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship Thread

[JAM]

It should have been, JAM. The quality of play is very high, but the 9-ball keeps tracking right at the bottom left pocket every break. It just gagged up again for Corey, ending in a 3/9 combo. Really unfortunate.

Aaron

OMG! That was fast. Corey already on the hill.

Earl is going down. Greek man on the hill. 10 to 6.

 

[JAM]

Shannon pulling out in front over Roberts, 7 to 3.

Matt and Shawn still neck and neck at 7-7. WOW!

Can Wang 4 to 3 over Karl Boyle.

A Japanese player?

She plays a Japanese player next: Yukio Akagariyama aka "The People's Champ."

Grabbed his first international title in Dubai.

Yukio isn't just some international player. He won the WPA world 9 bal championship in 2011

Yes, I think that is what the article in the link says, with him holding the trophy. :smile:

9 ball corner pocket

every single break in the Deuel and Morris match it seems like the 9 ball ends up right in front of the corner pocket for an easy combo. I don't like this at all

Corey, love it or hate it, is the Break Mechanic. LOL :grin:

Thanks for all the updates. I am working and can't watch right now. I use IE and can't get the brackets either so all your efforts are much appreciated.

 

[JAM]

Earl loses. Goes to the B side of the charts, so there's still hope for an Earl finals.

Oh, poop!

 

[JAM]

Morris breaks, makes like 14 balls and scratches. Corey runs out for the W.

Final TPA: CD-.851; RM-.855

Aaron

Wow! That is a tough way to lose. Poor Rodney. I'm happy for Corey.

Well, Rodney goes to the B side of the charts too. He's still in this race to the finish. :smile:

 

[JAM]

Our man Chris Bartram is coming up soon against Niels Feijen.. :clapping::clapping::clapping:

Shannon on the hill against Roberts.

The kid who made a bet on Matt Kraw plus 2.5 loses his bet. Matt Krah is at 9 now, with Shawn Wilkie at 7. :embarrassed2:

 

[JAM]

Rodney looked pretty solid in that match. Wouldn't be surprised to see a high finish out of him.

Aaron

He was so excited about this tournament. He's still in it to win it, I hope.

Can Wang over Karl Boyle, 5 to 4. This must be an interesting match.

 

[JolietJames]

Well the Krah/Wilkie bet has already been lost...

 

[JAM]

Well the Krah/Wilkie bet has already been lost...

Yep. I would have lost that bet too. I think Shawn is a stronger player.

 

[Aaron_S]

He was so excited about this tournament. He's still in it to win it, I hope.

This tournament is wide open. Somebody should have dusted off their bottle of ether and put a few of these guys to sleep. :wink:

Johnny Morra back in the game...7-7 vs Matchmaker. I would love to be watching this match, sounds like a good one!
