Kaci putting a beating on Filler. Shot clock not affecting him at all.

The window for SVB to take home No. 6 is rapidly closing.

SVB has taken the lead 6-5 over Kazakis.

If not SVB or another American, I would love to see him win this. He's been so close in a lot of recent majors.

The year is 2032. The final 64 of the 2032 U.S. Open 9 Ball is set to begin. The remaining field includes Joshua Filler, Fedor Gorst, 63-year-old Ralf Souquet, and 61 Polish players.

It's one of those shots that I've practiced a handful of times and had come up in competition only a few times. I've had close calls but the cue ball or object ball were usually just barely off the rail.

Biado just absolutely butchered the ol "both the cue ball and object ball are frozen on the long rail with the side pocket between them" shot on the 9. His opponent was on the hill and he left him a tap-in 9-ball so he conceded the rack and match.

Shane Wolford on the hill vs Little Ko. Guy needs a chance at the Mosconi Cup. Edit: Wolford beats Ko!

Is it bad that I instantly pictured Jayson Shaw from this description?

Morra's miss reminded me of a similar one from him a few years ago: (1:27)

Great post as always. I think for a lot of us, it's hard to even find or manufacture situations that are as pressure-filled as you talk about. I've certainly experienced them, but with pool becoming firmly a hobby in my mind (albeit a highly competitive/obsessive one) due to other obligations...

This is an absolute nailbiter! What a great final.

Matchroom needs to stop screwing around and just stream the finals on YouTube.

World 9 Ball finals rematch coming up between SVB and Ouschan?

Yeah, in addition to a savvy captain, you pretty much have to have a team that's "all-in" on making it to Vegas and going deep. That's tough to find. I'm guessing that a lot of the teams that do well are comprised mostly/entirely of APA veterans who know what they're doing handicap-wise. And...

It’s insane to think how many matches in a row an APA team has to win to take home the trophy in Vegas. Just getting to Vegas/through Cities is already super difficult, and the brackets once you get out there are colossal. What is it, 10 matches or so to get to the finals? So counting Cities...

A buddy and I used to play 6 ball a lot (both C players at the time). It was sort of like pretending to play high level 9 ball because we could actually break and run multiple times per session and string racks. Which meant that a single miss or positional blunder could potentially be very...

People say that Orcollo is THE best game money game player on the planet and he lost to Alcaide. I think it just shows that these 800+ guys can all beat each other not just in tournaments but also in long races.

I would say yes but only in the sense that it would force you to dial in your mechanics. If you already feel good about those and have a consistent and straight stroke, it's probably not going to do much to help.

Surprised how little attention this is getting. Maybe some AZBers lost some money on this one? Anyway, nice upset win by Alcaide. Seems there's been this idea for a while that certain 800+ Fargo guys are dead meat when gambling or playing long races and can only win in tournament formats.
