World Pool Championships 2025, July 21-26, Jeddah

Filler's safety play has been very weak in this match.

He's just struggling in general. It's odd to watch after how dominant he's been lately.

Martinez is certainly letting Filler back into it. Probably advantage Filler right now if he can close out this game to make it 6-5.

This would be true but it feels that this event has a lot of dead money players in it

There are a ton of Saudi players.

yea i think this will be difficult for gerson to close. reminds me of US open two years ago when he was in L16. but it's fun to watch

That shot Filler just hit trying to play safe on the 4 was terrible. Not even close to covering it. Anyway, Martinez seems insistent on giving him chances.

Gerson needs to end this

heard some coughing but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. he won the qatar open with a bad cold once, against lil ko iirc

This purple 5 (oops, not 4) ball does not want to go down

Filler finally gets it with a jump cue.

If I wanted to watch players chase a 5 ball around, I'd set up a camera at my table...

That 1-ball cut was the worst shot I've ever seen Filler take. And I'm pretty sure I played Gerson in APA.

Not even close, almost 1 diamond off. Then Martinez pranced around the table to run out. Not looking good for Filler

And then Martinez scratches on the break!

If Martinez doesn’t win this, it’s the miss of the year.
Never seen Filler play so bad

I think Josh was just taking it easy until it is time to step on the gas

 

[SA96]

Imagine Filler wins this.

Some poor guy who won both matches in round 1 and 2 is going to get Filler in the last 64.

I think Josh was just taking it easy until it is time to step on the gas

I guess he wants to keep his Fargo down

7-7

 

[datnodude]

We can wrap this up

 

[decent dennis]

I don't wanna jinx it but foshua jiller is down 4-1

And yet!

 

[Badpenguin]

They are doing that idiotic finger snapping instead of clapping. What miscreant started that?

Filler is trying to max out the table time for the entry fee
