Efren looks so frail now. Unbelievable he can still win a competitive match. Congratz Efren!

it's a rivalry thing, dennis is having a hard time winning against Shane. i cant blame him for the handshake. pinoys make up excuses for the handshake, Some american fans is faulting him for not giving the handshake. I guess overall, Dennis has an image problem in the US.

handshake, or bowing down, i think it is not a cultural thing. im sure if dennis won, he would offer a handshake. i guess it's a personal or competetive thing. pinoys know how to handshake, it is just an excuse, im pinoy.

cmon efren, 2 more magical matches, give them all you got

i think organizers should be more clear on the expected payouts... players are not business people, they are not familiar with the expenses and business aspect of the tournament. what's clear to them is the prize.

ouch, kinda sad to see the revenue outside of players registration is only $200 :(

since dcc one pocket is on the last stretch, who's the leading player for master of table? efren, daulton and brumback i guess?

Saw some of it yesterday, while waiting for the Pacquiao fight on tv. Dennis Orcullo was commentating. I think it was an interesting game, esp watching the team camaraderie. They showed some rules on the screen while the play was ongoing. The game was too long, but I usually can't watch any...

Shane is a freaking monster... the best in the world. Winning 3 straight US Open championship. I was always rooting for the pinoys (esp Busty) to win it, but they always choke in the end.

We dont have too many pool tournaments around the world, but I would still bet for SVB against any euro/asian guys. But I dont like SVB nuthuggers suggesting race to 100 :rolleyes:

i would not bet against Shane. to bet against him is a stupid thing. it doesnt matter how long the race is, he is that good. even the pinoy players acknowledge he is the best american player.

Mosconi Cup got it right, stick to short races. Make the crowd more involved. And for the US pool players/fans, respect tournament players that actually participate or win. Asian or European players, most of them don't sourgrape if they lose. They want to win a big tournament badly. Not...

race to 300 points, who would score more? spurs or heat? just kidding

Congratz Niels. I sure hope this madness will stop. SVB nuthuggers should stop bragging about race to 100 and SVB-hasnt-won-a-world-championship should stop he can't win outside the US soil. You guys are not giving respect to tournament champions. Everybody wants to win one. It's a legacy...

Shane is the best player in the world now. He won 3 US open, and that's no mean feat. Efren would die to win another US open i'm sure. I guess this is just a freak show of SVB nuthuggers vs SVB-hasn't-won-an-international-championship.
