Shane Vanboening vs Jayson Shaw

Yes, 2008. Alex was down by 22 games at 41-63 and won 100-64, a 28 game reversal. Their second such event (2011) was tied at 67, then Shane beat Alex by 16 from that point.

So, despite the lead of 12 games, it is no certainty that Shane will beat Shaw.

One little stats tidbit. For the first 27 games last night, Shane had 3 B&Rs on 14 breaks, or 21%. For the second 27 games last night, Shane had 13 B&Rs on 19 breaks, or 68%. Quite a second half of the first day!

I believe you mean SVB lost 100-94, not 64. This was clear to me as it matches your match and my memory, just clarifying to others that Alex didn’t win 59 out of 60!

I agree a 12 game lead isn’t decisive. I think 20 is the number that becomes insurmountable. As I mentioned SVB was very inexperienced in 08. He learned from that match and I can’t see anyone ever overcoming that type of lead again.

Now, what changes things a little is the rising level of the break and play. Shaw could run a few 3-5 packs and make up a lot of ground in just a few innings. But I think from up 20 on the middle of the second day he’d have to be a 20:1 underdog.

But SVB isn’t up 20, and if Shaw makes up any ground today at all it could be a photo finish. If Shaw ends today -7 for example then it would be a heck of a sweat. And if he gets near even he could still run away with it.

This is why I find this format exciting. It may not have the hill-hill thriller aspect, but two champions are battling hard and you really can’t predict what will happen.

Pretty sure it was a typo...think it was 94
I watched part of that set...i had a monetary interest.
But anybody who watches 3 races to 100 lifetime...is a couch potato.

Shorter sets....best of

I bet on Alex and watched that love. Around 08 I think. He ended up winning but that was a very inexperienced SVB. Alex barely escaped that time and didn’t do well in that format against him again.

I was there for that match as well. Alex had an extremely long run of "fortunate rolls" at the tail end of that match to pull out the win. I seem to recall even he was joking about it.

Thanks for the link... Oy Vey! WTF is the promoter thinking. Im not watching the stream but I hope they can the stupid score card girls.

Score card girls have been a thing for a very long time. It's a sign of the times, I guess the majority today want men in leggings walking around with the score cards.

Hope to see Shane knock it out of the park again today.

someone's not aware or don't remember how the first race to 100 went

The first TAR race to 100 was SVB vs Corey Deuel back when pretty much nobody knew who SVB was and Corey was in top form. I'd have to go look it up to be 100% but it was something like 100-84 to Shane and from then on a lot more people knew Shane.

Couple years later Shane gave Corey the 5 and 6 in a shorter (but still pretty long) 10-ball race and Corey still got spanked.

Shane lost his lead over Alex because he was more interested in where the girl that was with him, took off to. He hasn't made that mistake since then!!!
 
I'm headed down there in a minute for a bite and to watch a while. Will bring a cue in case any AZBers want to bang some balls around. I'll be in a orange plaid shirt, and if you see me on the tables I'll be the guy who misses a lot :grin:
 
Can someone who has the stream tell me if it's looping overnight? I'd like to buy the stream tonight but going to miss about 2 hour and would like to know if it'll be looping.

I don't recall any mention of that yesterday, but don't know for sure.
 
Day 2 -Race to 33

The script in the Orcullo v Biado match earlier this year went like this
Day 1 35 - 21 Orcullo
Day 2 35 - 39 Biado
Day 3 30 - 34 Biado
100 -94 Orcullo

This could follow that script. Shane with 10+ lead on Day1 , Shaw cuts lead to less than 10 on Day 2 and then Dinal day is thriller with Shaw chasing until finish line. :D


Day 2 about to break off.
