Probably give it to Filler since he has the most points (2.5) for Europe. But Albin has played fantastic, especially that shot on the 3 ball!
Which early matches you talking about?
Wow that was a crazy series of events
Game 3
Wolford breaks dry and leaves the 1 makeable with a thin cut in the side.
Alcaide debates how his CB will run through the crowded table, and takes an extension. He elects to play safe, but overruns it and leaves a full look at the 1.
Wolford overruns his safe shape, and leaves a good look at the 1 in the top corner.
Alcaide makes the 1 and gets a little too close to the 2, leaving a delicate cut on it. He plays the bank instead, misses it badly, but leaves himself safe.
Wolford eyes up the 1-rail kick and drains it the full length of the table, but does he have a look at the 3? He does, but it leaves only a tough cross-corner or safe. Not sure which he was trying, but he's lost his turn and left a look at the 3.
Alcaide goes the cut but undercuts it badly - not a pretty stroke - and leaves a great shot on the 3.
This is Wolford's to win or lose. Getting from the 4 to the 5 will require a great shot. He runs into two balls and hooks himself, and will have to kick. It's makeable, but he misses and leaves it easy.
Alcaide should clean up the rest, but he drills the 7 and it GOES INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE CORNER POCKET AND HOPS BACK OUT! UNBELIEVABLE!!
Wolford misses the long straight shot he was left with, and now Alcaide is on his 2nd lifeline this match. He finishes.
Score 2-1 Alcaide

alcaide got the rasson pocket jump out that kaci got in world pool masters some year ago.

Um sir we have countless video evidence of this happening...

not crapping on rasson as i've had it happen on a GC, but it did look like the pocket was empty this time. that is more rare
Not a good look for Rasson tables.
Pretty sketchy game by both players, MC nerves on display.
What is ridiculous, is allowing such pockets to be used. Never happens on a Diamond leather pocket (which can accommodate the whole ball set)
obviously the 2 ball was there
Ball gets pocketed at warp speed and pops back out on the table

Different story. There was a camera under the rim, and it dropped out. The ball was rejected twice in a row.Who remembers the Reyes - Kaplan match?
I witnessed that from the stands. And with my friends we actually called Michaela who was passing by under, to pay attention that something weird is definitely going on
