Matchroom Major event -Hanoi Open (10-15 October),Vietnam, Winner $30K

Was Thorpe forced to play this event? It seemed like he wanted to be home.
I don't know if forced is the right word, but I think in terms of trying to make Team USA, then I think he had to play in this event to have a chance.
 
Were there any table roll-offs? I tuned in for just a few min earlier today and must have caught between a match. The crew was re-leveling one of the tv tables.
 
couple of monsters will wreak havoc on loser side. biado, ko ping chung, mika, melling, ralf, malai, kiamco.. also either of villafuerte/sky and wilson/big ko. tough tournament this.
 
lil ko just jumped 1,5" from obstacle ball, made the shot. one of very few times i would prefer earl doing commentary instead of JJ
 
Wilson didn't actually choose to miss it. He played in a qualifier in the UK and failed to qualify to play in the awkwardly titled "Wuhan Open".
Weird!

But I do think it's cool Mr. Wilson seems to be enjoying some 9Ball!

Can't say about roll-offs but these tables are clearly playing different than those at the US Open. To me, they are playing a bit looser and the rails are not as slidy, allowing for a little more english-oriented position play than in Atlantic City.
 
I was trying to watch Someone Something or Other play this Do Khai dude, but my wife made me shut it off. She said I was laughing too loud and was going to wake up the kids.

This dude is dancing all around the table. There’s aboot 4 or 5 of his buddies who look like they are about to pee their pants with laughter every time he shoots. I wonder if it is a bet amongst friends.

he was on the outer tables yesterday with the same antics captured in photos on MR facebook. stance like a billiards player, body english like mccready or paez. funny to see
 
sky won his match 9-3 over villafuerte. i believe villafuerte has higher fargo than sky so a telling result.

alcaide lost to the man with the stalev break, anh tuan. doesn't always use it but he can smash them like hell.
 
i wonder if any billiards players signed up. quyet chien and vinh bao are two big stars in vietnam
Signed up for what, the 9b event?

I don't know bao, but there are no billiards players that can compete at pocket billiards at the top level.
