I want to see more matches like this on the 9 footers.
High stakes money games to keep our top players sharp and focused under pressure.
Top 20 US players need this sort of action to hone their games.
The next group below them need this action to develop.
Great match fellas.

Sadly nobody has heart to bet their own and the backers are few and far between.
 
outside a few...show me an American top 20 pool player with 15K cash,,,and I'll show you someone who just robbed a bank.

I’d bet Chris has that much cash. Not saying he was betting his own, but $15K isn’t as impressive as it used to be.
 
Impressive safety on the 1 by Chris hill hill. Shane missed an easy kick hill hill.Chris won 1 game for $30k at 69-69. Somehow these long races end up going hill hill, remember SBV & Orcollo. Pool is such a mental game.. I played Chris a set about 6 years ago. Chris is a completely different player now, hard to believe it’s the same guy.. Shane showed a lot of heart just didn’t get the rolls at the end.

Shane's last miss was a back-cut that wasn't close....It seemed a little rushed.
He seemed in pain when racking and I heard he was doing stretches between games.
Maybe his back was seizing up after all those hours playing.
Great comeback anyway that was so close.
Enjoyed it.

even on a bar table- that back cut was really tough. He probably should have played safe. Hindsight is 20/20 though as they say

svb won 240k this year. you would hope he kept some.. filler topping out the azb moneyboard with 330k.

i think the main reason we don't see as many money matches is the tournament schedule. second reason is because of the constant tournament play, everybody knows exactly where everyone else is at. there are few uncertainties when it comes to current speed. this is not as true in one pocket, so hopefully we get some good 1p matchups next year

So many internet heroes think every shot on a bar table is easy. The Mike Tyson Corollary is real at every level. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Everything looks easy, because they're not the ones in the box.

Freddie <~~~ missed way easier

You must be a 700+ monster if you think that kick under that heat was easy.

Plenty of YouTube matches out there where 700+ players are on a Valley with stock pockets. Guess what? They miss. Not as often as on a 10’ with 3.75 pockets bla bla bla. Yes more misses due to blown position than rattling a ball. But they miss.
