soufi missed a crucial 6-ball and lost that rack. chua breaks, 9 on the snap, and is now on the hill

- Thread starter jay helfert
- Start date
8-10 after a nice bank and long shot, both at warp speed. could still go all the way, but soufi's break hasn't been as good
chua wins after another poor break from soufi
Looks like league night
Wojciech drawing the cue ball directly into the corner was one of the weirder shots I’ve seen a top player make.
A long way to 11, but he’s even off on his safes.
Agree, but many of those Filipinos will be "foreign workers" with one day off a week (I'm guessing either Friday or Saturday) rather than "expats" on big contracts. I think MR needs to find a way of filling some of the "cheapseats" and accommodating those who are happy to pay through the nose. It will also be a struggle to get non-hardcore pool fan "western" and East Asian expats through the door if they can't have a few beers off screen between matches.
Tha said, it's a start - it's finally big money if you go deep, and Saudi Arabia is opening up in many ways. Well, I could be wrong but I'm hoping we will see bigger crowds in the next few years.
As Casey Stengel once said “Can anybody here play this game “?
You good bro?
Because most people probably don't know that.
But I did see in a picture Jam posted earlier that they do have a Matchroom logo on the side banner.
They are both going for and trying some wild shit

SVB is completely falling apart ;(
Down 4-6 Shane has a chance to get back in it, over draws off the 5 to get on the 6, then miscues almost jumping the cue ball off the table. 7-4
It’s like they’re rubbing off on each other
Looks like he’s picking up the pace
