Kledio's push foul definitely opened the window for Ali.

yep, and gets even wonkier down the line with wojciech and maciol at 67, niels at 101 (decimal odds). proven winners. the longest odds are ameer ali at 201.

I just saw this on page 1 and have to wonder if anyone laid a sizable wager on Ameer.

The man is the #2 in the world. Not sure if the #2 will give you a tits odds.

that's a poor audience turnout for a fellow arabian player in a quarter final. they're 30 million or something in saudi..

You realize Iraq and Saudi Arabia aren't exactly BFFs, right?

Yes, but it seems the odds makers had the same kind of skepticism some of us did on his speed.

i guess it depends which part of iraq. he's from a majority shia province, so there may be something to it

It sure did, and it's nitty rule. Give the ref a hearing aid.

time for lil kaci to pounce. ball in hand, up 6-5

and does run the rack. 7-5

FSR loses to Regalario 11-4. I wonder if FSR is going talk about wax. My guess is no.

Let's not forget Bernie is only 20!

Lol...Bernie yelled "Let's Go!" literally before the 9 made it to the pocket, and he fired it in.

 

[skogstokig]

bernie through to the semifinal. wild.

 

[sjm]

Wow, what a performance from Regalario! Only a guess here, but I'd say he played .950 up to the score of 9-4. FSR never really had a chance in this one.

Ameer is feeling the pressure. Kledio is doing enough. Will he get it untill 11??

 

[skogstokig]

straight shooting from kledio. up 8-5 and the road to 9-5 looks very clear

 

[Vahmurka]

I just saw this on page 1 and have to wonder if anyone laid a sizable wager on Ameer.

I did (not as sizable as one can imagine), as 200.00 for his win was out of this world and insane. Now, though, when he is trailing Kledio Kaci, this makes little sense. Oh wait, Kledio carries some of my dough as well!

 

[VVP]

My guess is that there's a screen that shows a top-down view of the table somewhere.

You get a better view of the whole layout of the table looking at a big screen. I think that's why he is constantly looking up ... it looks weird though.

Yeah I can see it being useful for quickly grasping the angles, no need to walk around so much.

 

[8intheside]

Fedor is absolute machine. He will be very hard to beat. I sense a repeat!

 

[skip100]

Sloppy finish to this Ameer-Kledio match.

 

[skip100]

OMG, brutal final roll for Kledio there.
