NICE HILL HILL

Dang, that missed 4 ball (while being up 10-9) will haunt Duong for the rest of his life. Kudos for Roda to come back for the hill-hill victory. That last combo on the 9 thought about staying up.

Poor Duong. Dropped his stick on the table after that miss. Still a lifelong pool sufferer.

Seven of the last sixteen players are Filipino. They qualified twelve into the final sixty four. Still the single most dominant nation worldwide. They just keep producing champions! Dozens more teens who shoot high 700 speed right now!

Biado wins 11-9. At least we we'll hear less of "waxgate" now that Ignacio is out.

No gloves for biado. Must be hiding the wax in his hair

Noticed Raga likes to place the chalk chalk-face down on the rail. Must drive his opponents nuts.

This Ameer Ali's cue ball is good. It is a little odd that this is my first time seeing him as he's in the top 10 of Fargo.

yates is wrong there.. i watched ameer ali play with a shot clock in the recent heyball big money event. lost to melling iirc. he also played the qatar open. should be used to it

all his pool matches are regional (for him). saudi and qatar

 

[skogstokig]

this is a great contest, raga vs ameer. very high quality play

just as i wrote that raga channeled his inner gerson and twitched on a straight in shot

I wish Yates would quit stammering on about snooker, as if the snooker scene in Iran has anything to do with the pool scene in the rest of the middle east.

How in the heck does someone from Iraq get so good at pool? Seriously?

So now Patric Gonzales is waxing also?

Matchroom needs to invest in one of these.

If that were the case every Tom, Dick, and Harry snooker player would be stealing every major pool tournament in existence. Not true, they go out in early rounds. Snooker does not translate to pool at the highest levels.

Is FSR taking a page out of Mr Strickland's playbook and shooting with a tennis grip wrapped cuetec?

Hmm.

"One of the 30 Filipinos"

If Kaci is going to make an accusation, then just make it. He played Patric Gonzales. Just name him. He wants to make an accusation without actually making an accusation.

I like to stand my break cue upside down. Tip down and butt up.

Never know when someone's OCD kicks in.

Could swear I've seen several players doing that. Is it extremely humid there or something?
