Jayson Shaw playing real well

I'm really pulling to get to see the Archer/ Shaw match if they both win this morning. I think that would be the one to watch today.

Both won so it looks like that will happen. Hopefully that's the TV table match so we can all see it live.
 
Just watched up close Jayson Shaw vs wilkie, hill hill, neither of them could miss until that last eight ball by wilkie.

Shaw vs archer @ 8. Most likely they'll be streaming that one.

Shaw is as confident as ever
 
Getting interesting. I think Archer, Sossei, Shaw and Morris have been the cream of the crop so far, but Hohmann, Dechaine, Ignacio and Deuel are all navigating the minefield that is the "B" side quite skillfully. Perhaps under the radar are Joss Tour regulars Marty Daigle and Ron Casanzio, but both are capable of taking down some big names.

Things are definitely heating up at turning Stone!

Jayson reminds me a bit of Rodney Morris. Both have a powerful game and, based on their body language, neither looks overly challenged by most of the runouts they attempt. Free and easy, both of them.

Thats a good comparison but rodney looks so smooth and easy as he runs out. Jayson just pounds the ball in. Looks more like Earl Strickland to me at least.
 
When jayson gets a little tougher in close matches with other great players he has potential to be world #1
 
Forgive me if you follow the Joss Tour for stating something that will be obvious to you.

The best thing that ever happened to Jayson Shaw was Mike Dechaine, and the best thing that ever happened to Mike Dechaine was Jayson Shaw.

On the Joss Tour, each has forced the other to raise his level of play. Dechaine won most of the titles on the Joss Tour in 2014. Which of them will win more titles in 2015? It should be fun to watch. For each, having a fierce rival that pushes them to their highest level has been and will continue to be a blessing.

Want to win a big event on the Joss Tour? You better plan on beating Shaw or Dechaine in the final, and that's not so simple.

I usually get myself into trouble when I look ahead in the brackets, but it's not altogether impossible that Shaw could face his other fierce rival on the Joss Tour, Jeremy Sossei, in the hot seat match. Jeremy took Jayson down at the Ocean States in November. It would be an interesting match if it happens.

Absolutely agree, Stu. they have both took off in the past year. I still stand by my belief that the joss tour is one of the best in the world in terms of difficulty.
 
Rodney vs Mike D in next on the stream table. Rodney easily beat Mike in their match in August at Turning Stone. Let's see how this one goes.

Everyone left is guaranteed a tie for 9th place or better, but Shaw, Immonen, Sossei and Morra all guaranteed a tie for 5th or better.

No, Thorsten's out and finished tied for 13th.
Thank you. The brackets are too tough to try to read on my phone. I like that Jayson seems to be playing well. He was my pre tournament pick and at the moment he's making me look pretty good.
 
Looks like Rodney's got Mike D's number again. Mike's first decent look at the table until rack 6, by which time Mike looked pretty disheartened.
 
Rodney 9 Mike D 3. Dechaine is out, coming tied for 9th.

Nice to see Wilkie playing well. He's, without question, one of the nicest people in our sport. Great player who's a little under the radar, but who came 2nd in the Steinway 10-ball Open against a great field last August.

Rodney is one of my favorites! If I had to put a top 5 I enjoy watching,(efren, Rodney, earl, Alex P, and Shaw) I'd pick Rodney for my #1! Guy is just insane and so cool at the table.
