4-0 to Shane but he's also had 3 dry breaks in a row. Something's not working so far with the triangle rack. Let's hope he can figure out the break soon.

Shane through to the final 16 11-4

Shane on the hill 10-4. He made a great long shot on what looked like the 1 ball with the cue on the rail. The cue caromed into the 2 ball and knocked it up table. Shane played a good safety on the 2, leaving distance and a snooker. The camera cut out and when it came back Shane had ball in hand...

Shane's about to go up 9-2 it looks like.

Is it too much to ask for the scores to actually be updated in real time? Jayson Shaw said that Shane was up 4-1 against Libutis about 5-10 minutes ago. The brackets still have no score for me.

Shane takes it down 11-4 after a nice break and run.

SVB on the hill now -- 10-4 after a dry break from shaw and a nice out from Shane.

7-3 svb now. by my count, shaw's missed 4 open shots this match.

5-3 shane now after a missed 8-ball from shaw

Yeah - I wonder why he switched to the hard break. Maybe because he scratched in the upper corner once on that break, and got a speed warning from the ref on another. But I think the layouts he's getting off of his hard break aren't as easy looking as what he was getting on his softer break. And...

Corey wasn't trying to draw the cueball - he was aiming for no movement on the cue. If he wanted to, he could have drawn it with not much power.

It doesn't actually take that much power to draw off of the break: since the pack has 9X as much mass as a single ball, drawing to the rail off the break is much easier than drawing the same distance on a normal shot. Ronnie Alcano was breaking pretty soft with this break in 2006.

Shane has unfortunately been making some bad decisions in this final match. The first rack, he attempted a cross corner bank on the one when he could have played safe, missed and left an open table for Kazakis. In another rack, he went for a really ill-advised, low-percentage rail-first shot...

Is this match going to be streaming anywhere?

Dude: it doesn't really matter who I am or what my credentials are. There is literally a video of Mosconi talking about this issue.

Sure -- you could choose not to believe what Mosconi says in this video because you think he was confused, or lying, or whatever. There's just as much reason to not believe what he says in the book because he was confused. At the end of the day, there are two quotes from Mosconi on this and they...

I really don't know what to say to you here other than *watch the GD video*. Mosconi is very specific about what run he's talking about: he says 526. If he were talking about one of the 600 runs you seem to think he is, he would have said so. Clearly, you're convinced that you know what Mosconi...

My point is that this record is a fun thing to think about for the sake of giving out nicknames ("Mr. 626"). But it isn't an indication of who the best straight pool player is, as some people claim. I've seen countless posters saying that this high run makes JS one of the best 14.1 players of...

Hurl insults if it makes you feel better about your facile argument...

I think you're misunderstanding what this video is. I'm not claiming that this is a video *of his 526 run.* It's just an instructional video he made where he teaches you how to play pool. As such, it doesn't make any difference whether it was edited or not. The relevant part is at the end, where...
