US Open 9-ball updates thread..

[gregcantrall]

Just started watching Judd Trump day two. Reminds me of the value of catching a soft draw. Could give a settling buffer.

This is bizarre. It is still stage 1 but why do they have race to 11 today and first 2 days matches were race to 9?
Winners Round 2 and Losers Round 3 is now race to 11 while earlier rounds were race to 9.
I have never seen double elimination brackets with 2 different races

absolutely brutal play by dennis vs deuel, 11-1

 

[PracticeChampion]

Dennis beat Corey in a speedy match, Dennis was almost shooting before the balls even stopped LoL

 

[JusticeNJ]

Only consolation for Corey was that it was winner's side. Dennis looked like he was hitting balls at a pool room waiting for lunch to get delivered.

 

[skogstokig]

filler has made some sick shots against sanjin too. i think he is very well calibrated for a repeat of 2019. and tight pockets favors him just like it does dennis

Corey deuel showing the pool world once again why he's one of the most overrated players in the last 15 years.

Does Corey not play anymore? He missed everything.

Corey's strengths now seem to be every game that isn't 9 ball or 10 ball. At least on a big table.

 

[BlueRaider]

Looks like Chang dispatched Jeffrey Ignacio by way of a 5-pack to end the match.

I heard Corey had his cues/luggage stolen in Vegas so I wonder if he’s playing with unfamiliar equipment?

If there is truth to it this then I'm sure it played a big part.

I love it when he plays like that, without a care in the world. That's when he's most dangerous.

Looks like he is in fact using new cues.

The great poker player John Hennigan just got knocked out by Sullivan Clark. I still think Clark is the same guy who was hustling up big action in the Philippines two or three years ago. He knocked off just about everyone he played. Of course he avoided the Pinoy champions.

Who is Mickey Krause who just beat Billy Thorpe?

Had not heard of him yet, but his Fargo is 734 compared to Billy's 773 so it's not totally out of left field, if not a bit unexpected.

 

[prad]

Alex lost too

 

[jaywheel]

Thorpe, Pagulayan losing this morning. Filler and especially Shaw working really hard to get the W. Morra about to lose, trailing 10-6.

Awesome. Long overdue for pool nation like UK to have its own new event added. More importantly, Matchroom/Emily is talking about full calendar of events, ranking points in other words- a proper pool world tour

 

[JusticeNJ]

Emily stated that she's trying to grow 9 Ball in the UK. Sounds right given how many top players hail from Europe at the moment.
