WORLD POOL (nineball) CHAMPIONSHIP (6-10 April2022), UK, Winner $60K

[Scrunge19]

It seems like SVB always runs into someone who plays near perfect pool vs him.

He (Mika) must be living good because he’s gotten a number of fortunate rolls to go along with lights out shooting.

Mika on hill 10-3
But usually almost always the break on hill is no open rack.

It happens to a lot of guys. We just notice it more because he's "our guy". Be prepared to be called a nuthugger, some people can't let you say anything positive about SVB.

Shane's out of his chair for the first time in six games. With no shot. 10-3 Mika.

Did Mika run 7 racks there? I’ve only had it on in the background and I just know that I haven’t seen Shane in a while.

It was 5-3 and Shane had to push out on his break. Mika made a terrific backwards cross side bank and yada yada yada it was 10-3 Mika.

Ah ok, thanks. I guess that’s how 4 packs get turned into 7 packs. Someone like me just half paying attention lol.

Mika getting mad at the rolls after getting some pretty good ones himself.

Shane ain't dead yet, having won the last 4 in a row, but its still 10-7 Mika.

All you can see is Mika's hands and feet but you can still tell he's getting pissy.

 

[Cameron Smith]

This match is awesome. This is the type of thing you lose when you go to alternating breaks.

I'm at work with the sound off - does anyone know what Mika is harping on with the ref?

You are correct, I'm sure. I follow SVB far more closely than any other top player.

What I've noticed is that he moves around in his chair quite a bit when Shane is shooting. Whether it's intentional or not, he should not be doing that.

Get ready for the Mika tantrum if he loses

The ref moved the 9ball without using a ball marker. Mika was telling him he should be using a ball marker whenever moving balls like that.

Mika's not wrong about that.

Thanks - that's a fair comment to make then - especially as tight as this match has gotten.

Just Mika being Mika (i.e. lil' Bitch). Typical. He has played unbelievable though the usual unprovoked whining from him is beyond tiresome.

SVB 9-10
Needs only 2 more . He has won 6 in row

 

[BlueRaider]

SVB vs Mika now hill-hill! One of the wildest matches I've ever seen.
