And another Leyman blunder. Guy is a joke.

Good sportsmanship by Yapp.

The guy is awful. Has been for years, tournament after tournament. Can they get Ken or Nigel out to finish the match.

6-0 Yapp, after a 5 minute stoppage in play over whether or not Shane called an extension.

Oof. Shane had to be rattled.

 

[kling&allen]

Shane didn't call for an extension from what I could tell. Great sportsmanship by Yapp.

Shane didn't call for an extension from what I could tell. Great sportsmanship by Yapp.

You can see when he looks back to say extension, you just can't hear it. He is a low-talker, and the ref didn't hear it. But based on the replay, which they played multiple times, it's obvious where he said it.

 

[PoolBum]

Another B&R for Yapp to go up 7-0. He's getting a great shot on the lowest-numbered ball and a nice layout after every break.

Shane down 7-0. 6 runouts by Yapp

 

[PoolBum]

Yapp makes a nice shot on the 1 to start the rack, runs out again to go up 8-0. Shane has had one turn at the table so far in this match.

Hat off to Mr. Yapp for backing SVB on the extension call. Both men behaved wonderfully during that controversy..

It's like looking at the Zapruder film, but SVB's mouth doesn't move when he looks back. Regardless they should give the players the benefit of the doubt in these situations.

It looked like Shane had his hearing aid off. The clock was counting down, and when it ended the ref was right next to him and said “foul” but Shane didn’t turn at all. The ref had to go up to him and put his hand in front of him to stop him.

 

[JoeyInCali]

what a jump by shane with his playing cue. 8-1

 

[PoolBum]

B&R from Shane to make it 8-2.

yes, but with better position play he wouldn't need superman shots. both are struggling a bit it seems?

Dennis is hitting his stride now.
I agree, not great play but that 8 was a fun shot.

Another B&R from Shane to make it 8-3.

I agree that you can't really see his mouth move, but with the way he talks, he doesn't emphasize his words and talks quietly, his mouth wouldn't move much anyway.

In the replay, about half way through the shot clock, as he's walking around the table he looks back at the shot clock. Later on, with about 5 seconds left on the clock, he kinda half-looks back, just before he gets down to shoot. That is where he says it, why else would he look back like that in that situation.

Also, the shot clock operator must have saw this, because they put up the extension on the screen. It's just that the ref didn't hear it. Does that mean he didn't call it? Maybe. Maybe a foul was the right call, but it is pretty obvious where he says it.

(btw, I'm not American, and not a Shane lover, so I'm not biased in that way. I just want to see a fair match)
