7-0. Made a ball on break and played safe. Souto comes to the table for the second time facing a kick with a ride the 9 built in. Makes the hit, leaves a shot. Yapp runs out.
UK Open 2025 Telford, UK, May 6-11
- Thread starter Bob Jewett
- Start date
Yapp finally doesn't get out. Leaves Souto an actual shot. Suoto runs to the 9 and gets real bad on it and misses. Leaves Yapp this shot, which he fires in. 8-0.
Yapp just pulls off the jacked up trick shot to make the CB go 6 feet when its perfectly straight with the OB.
9-0. I think that was a B&R but looked away for a bit.
Yeah, Hanoi Open and US Open 9ball both draw a big crowd, and the Mosconi is always a sellout, but the other events don't seem to attract much attendance.
My sense of things is that, other than at the Mosconi, live attendance is a relatively small and unimportant contributor to revenue, but I could be mistaken. At the Mosconi, however, thousands of attendees spend some real money, not just in ticket sales, but in merchandise. I just bought five tix to the Mosconi (two of them VIP) and spent about 725 British pounds, or about $1,000. I plan to spend a lot more once I get there.
Yeah. The post-collision masse shot. And got perfect on the next ball.
I think it also has to do with streaming.
Before streaming, and hardly on TV, if an event was near by. People would go.
I traveled to the 2003 world pool championships in Wales and there was a big crowd.
2010 European championships also had big crowd.
Have not been around pool since but I did notice it as well

10-0.
This is how it must have been in the straight pool era sitting in the chair while opponent is on a 100 ball run. Every time the camera pans to Sauto he is trying to stay focused in his chair.

12-0. Race to 13.
Is Corey the only one to donut his opponent in a major final? Karl just had the opportunity to bring Corey's final up, but did not.

So do nearly all fans. Watching a maestro stringing racks is a joy. Control of the table always had to be earned, not assumed, and I'm always disappointed when alternate break is in use. Thankfully, it is pretty rare.
Yes, Corey's donut over Mika in the 2001 US Open, with the soft break a big part of the story, was the beginning of the end of soft breaking, which was disallowed a year later.
Loosing on 0 sours like hell… hehehe
In 2010 I dipped my toes into pro pool. I played at the European Championship and at the World Teams Championships.
At the WTC, my last match was 10Ball against then 10ball world champion, Darren Applton. He beat me 10-0… in like 20 minutes. That was the only time I lost on 0, that was not fun at all…
Darren was a class act, we had a few beers and at the Euro champs he paid for dinner.
After that I knew I had no chance to become a pro
