Weak ass push out cost Krause the match

He had a poor push vs Biado too. Krause had his chances in the final rack but couldn’t hook Yapp.

That's what separates participants from Champions.

Not going to count out Lung after his last two matches. Whitewashes.

And the interview with sjm by Karl Boyes on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=768284322820394

that's awesome. i agree with stu, svb is favorite. but don't count out chang, he's capable of beating anyone

 

[skogstokig]

chang is also the only contemporary pro with a high stance / billiards stance. head a good bit above the cue. still very accurate, i believe he played some heyball for a while with that same style

 

[SA96]

Chang looks very good.

SVB is in trouble.

 

[slugrack]

Golden break puts svb down 4-0. This one could get ugly.

Nothing svb could have done so far.

 

[skogstokig]

4-0 after a golden break, chang owning the table atm

 

[skor]

I like how Chang carries himself around the table. Looks very comfortable and confident. Like he’s got nothing to lose and just having fun… and now a golden break 4-0…

 

[skogstokig]

what a kick from shane.. great stuff

 

[skogstokig]

shane on the scoreboard, 5-1

 

[Frosty]

Weak ass push out cost Krause the match

I love that he went for the bank on the 4 ball though, it shows moxie.

 

[slugrack]

Those two games were way harder than they needed to be, but hopefully gets him some momentum.

 

[slugrack]

Shane is a little off but catching some lucky breaks from Chang.

5-3

 

[markjames]

How many subscribers do people think WNT TV has?

 

[skogstokig]

shane has missed more in these 5 racks than in his 2 previous matches

Yea hes definitely off...but getting some nice breaks to claw back. If he gets in a groove he should be able to run away with it from here.

Shane is a little off but catching some lucky breaks from Chang.

5-3

Scratch by Chang in the 9th rack is going to hurt. Not sure Shane has found his rhythm though, has been making the 1 on the break consistently but not the layouts he'd like. Edit: Shane then scratched on his kick on the 2 after the break, ouch.

Both of them are out of rhythm at this point, wild with the pace Chang had out of the gate.

i think he's nervous but doesn't show it. some chinese are difficult to asses. to quote steven merchant: inscrutable. you cannot scrute a chinaman
