Huge Action Alex Pagulayan vs Justin Hall LIVE July 31 who do you guys like ?

The longer I watch, the more I see what separates a player like Justin from someone like Alex. I specifically noticed Justin misplay a rack where he got 5 and then played a move to drop a ball in front of his pocket and stick Alex on the stack.

Alex would have played the first three balls the same, taken the other ball as his fifth, spinning two rails out to the middle of the table, then having a 45 degree cut on the last ball and sending the CB into the edge of the stack to split the last 4-5 balls there, getting them all.

I remember seeing Justin play to the wrong 4th ball, and thinking, "What the heck is he doing? He had a high chance to get all the way out, and now he is gonna get 5 at best. And giving his opponents that turn at the table, no matter how low percentage, is the difference between these two, and is why Alex can spot him a ball.
 
That is 9 of the last 11 games Alex has won. Could this 8-ahead be over tonight?

I wonder what happens for those of us who bought the $24.95 whole-event pass if Alex murders him straight away in the next hour? Is Ray maybe gonna try to drum up some other action match to stream?

Mike Tyson style!

Do you really feel you'd be short if it finished in 1 session? That is badass pool...no?
 
Justin just isn't a straight enough shooter to compete with Alex it appears. Sure, he's a better banker, but he's missing way too many open shots by a wide margin.

Just from the still photos of the table shown on this thread, those are some of the very tightest corner pockets I've ever seen on a Diamond table. They appear so tight that it doesn't look like there is any pocket shelf for the balls to hang up in.

Something tells me AP can give him a little more than 9/8, 8/7. Maybe even a lot more. Just a guess, however.

I can see that some snooker might do Justin Hall a world of good. But that doesn't make up for the fact that in some cases, he's just not running the balls right. Straight shooting doesn't make up for bad patterns.

Ronnie Allen once went in with Richie Florence, against his better judgment, playing Fatty 1hole. And Florience was giving Fatty a ball. He pulled up before long, though. He said something to Richie like "You shoot straight as hell, you just don't know how to play the game." :grin-square:
