Classic Billiards - FL Open prep

[Bob Jewett]

Isn't Bregu still Albanian?

Hmm... AZB lists his residence as Minnesota. He hasn't been very active with only about $5000 winnings since 2022.

i love that the ref sticks around for afterhours action. rack manipulation and racking arguments is the worst thing about action matches

And somebody here should adopt Wictor, since he is no longer representing Poland.

the polish federation are a**holes. they tried to block him from playing WC last year. he should wear a big polish flag every match to spite them

Should be a good match starting now -- Filler vs. Duong (free on YouTube)

Nice come back by Duong.

 

[Bob Jewett]

Nice come back by Duong.

And he wins with a gutsy out at the end.

 

[AtLarge]

Not a well-played match by either of them. 7 wins in a row by Duong after being behind 3-8. Then Filler won a couple to take it to hill/hill. In the final game, a slopped 7-ball on a low-percentage 1/9 combo miss by Duong led to a safety on the 4-ball. Filler kicked and hit it, but left it for Duong to run out.

That six riding down the rail was a pretty special shot in the runout.

Is the just me or is Tyler moving with more purpose at the table these days?

I hope he beats Bergman....
They are both shown as Fargo 792.

Bergman has done nothing wrong and is 4-0 down to Tyler.

3 break and runs and a outrageous 2-9 combo.

Styer wants his Mosconi Cup redemption story.

 

[SBC]

Full table kick billiard to ride the 9.

Get em Tyler 4 to 0.

My boy fighting for his Mosconi spot!

a man on a mission

 

[skogstokig]

some upsets: hollingsworth beats tevez, bregu beats FSR

 

[SA96]

Could really do with Fedor winning this event.

We need him to finish in the top 3 for Mosconi Cup qualification.

 

[jbart65]

Bergman’s break was awful, but good Styer gave way to bad Styer mid match to keep it competitive. Big Mosconi statement for Tyler in the end.

Look at the stats of Filler-Duong. You’d never guess Duong won.

Still, goes to show how thin the margin for error is thin among the top players. Duong has come a long way in five years. Fargo up to 830-ish.
