I think Shane has reached a point in his career where he could (and maybe sort of wants to) retire and live out the rest of his life on the lake as a pool legend, but he's also still playing elite pool right now. So while he doesn't necessarily feel like he has to win anymore, every win that he...

Shane got a very nice payday today. $75k has gotta be the largest first place prize in "American" pool in a very long time.

America had a 20 year drought in WPA world titles and now has two in the past two years thanks to Shane.

Wolford has also knocked out some heavy hitters recently (Little Ko in particular) in races longer than 5. I think he could win a singles match or two.

Albin looked dead in the water vs SVB. Now he's about to win the whole thing. Similar to how SVB mounted a huge comeback against Mika in the 2022 W9B and went on to win it.

This might be my favorite event in pool. 10' tables are just awesome. I wish they were more common in the pro game.

Can we get Ruslan too? Does he still play pool?

The biggest winners here are SVB, Sky, and Tyler. The USA Mosconi Cup mainstays who now have a much better chance at doubling their annual paydays.

Agreed. If you are perfectly aligned, you also perceive your tip at the cue ball with perfect accuracy, and your ability to hit it exactly where you want is almost a given. I certainly don't have perfect alignment but after really paying attention to my alignment and trying to improve it over...

Impressive. When did your son start playing and how many hours per week would you estimate he plays?

What if I find interesting about the tightening of the pockets in these tournaments is that the same guys tend to rise to the top regardless. You don't see a guy who is perhaps lacking in other aspects of the game suddenly have a big, unforeseen advantage because he's a ridiculously straight...

Finals highlights on youtube live now: How tall is Gorst? 6’1” or so?

Little Ko might be the most likable pro since Efren. Impossible to not root for him.

Little Ko seems to have Filler's number. Might be the only player on the planet who can say that.

I watched briefly and saw him pound a full table shot in at a million miles per hour to stun over for his next ball. Impressive stuff on such tight pockets.

Matchroom's FB says SVB had 9 break and runs, including a 7-pack.

Omar Al-Shaheen reached the finals of the W9B in 2021 against Albin. He's currently 782 and I believe he was even lower in 2021.

You are assuming that he makes Team Europe every year and that if he switches to Team USA they lose every year. Talent level is rising quickly in Europe. No guarantee he makes it annually, but he would essentially be a lock to make Team USA for the rest of his pool career. And his presence on...

It would be a smart career move for him because he would be all but guaranteed a Mosconi Cup spot for the next 15-20 years.
