True.
Agree. Invitationals are usually all top pros with guaranteed payout while WNT open tour events involve 128/256 players with only smaller % of top pros no guaranteed payout. Both are different types of events and need not be exactly same pocket size...
So according to this

Haha, Mike Panozzo deleted his original post trying to do damage control. May be too little too late. Good luck in putting out fire on socials like Facebook, this ain't some old traditional print media. Poor guy. "Not a good look" for him :LOL...
Unbelievable. None of the favorites made it to the semifinals.
First time in a major that all 4 semifinalists are "underdogs". First time there are no Fargorate 800s/no Matchroom Top 20 ranking players in semifinals. Irony is this major event that has the strongest field of top players (20...
Down to last 8. All guaranteed at least $6K
Started with 9 xTop 20 Matchroom ranking/ Fargorate 800s in last 16. Now only left 3 favorites (Filler, Kaci, Albin)
No one below 800 Fargorate has ever won a WNT Matchroom major. Tomorrow may be first time :ROFLMAO:
The single elimination stage of this event becoming a lobbyists party. Lots of big names dropping :ROFLMAO:
Big thriller win by Capito. Capito led 5-0, Gorst fought back to lead 8-6 then Capito came back to win 10-8

Viktor Zielinski v...
OMG
Albin took about 3 minutes to shoot this 2 ball
Kaci-Toh Lian Han match about 2 hours for 10 racks around 12 minutes per rack? Toh is twice Kaci's guy age but won't be surprised if Kaci shoots slower than him :LOL:
Brackets for LAST 64 Single Elimination (starts tomorrow 10 May)
Lots of heavy hitters many big names getting relatively "easier" opponents . Though the really big pow wow matches will start from last 32. 😄
History is making as this may be first time ever that 2 pairs of bros make it to single elimination of a major-The Kos & Kacis. Kos and Kledio Kaci are already through.
:LOL:
Kos with identical scores getting the win at about same time...

Yes. No need to actually teleport to Canada just VPN to Canada or any of the countries in grey :LOL:
Was worst at Scottish Open when Albin racked 6 remaining balls and concede match v Karl Boyes.
Karl says Albin has not talked to him since and...
Couldn't have scripted it any better. JJ and Karl Boyes have date to play each other tomorrow if they win their matches later today 4pm local time . And they can win their matches :LOL:
