From what I watched today, these games will likely continue to be fast. Alex has no desire to out-move Busty. He’s going to fire at his hole, if there is even the slightest window of opportunity.

Play is definitely a little tighter today!
He's alive.
I have only been watching off and on but looks like the score is 13-10 Busty
14-11 Busty, pace has slowedddddd
15-11, Alex sold out at a really bad time for almost no reason, I think he wants to just get to tomorrow.
From what I’ve seen, Alex sees this as an exhibition. It’s great for the fans. For those of us who bet on him, not so much. LOL
16-13 for the day!
I think that it was the next to the last game when one of the most bizarre things I have seen happen on a pool table occurred. Busty on 7 with a ball in his pocket Alex tries to take him out and mistakenly makes Busty's ball. Busty wins---but no Alex miraculously scratches in the side pocket!! 2 balls are spotted and Busty hits them decently but does not make either ball. Whereupon Alex makes a bank from well below the side pocket and with a beautiful cue ball got perfect shape on two balls that sat on Busty's side of the table only a foot and a half or so off the cushion for a crazy 3 ball out. 180 degree switch in 3 minutes. That alone was worth the money spent on the stream and I still have a day to go. They have been fun to watch. Not sterling but fun.
I agree, very bizarre turn of events in that game for sure!
Yea I noticed a few shots like that which seemed uncharacteristic of him. Like he isn't really giving it 100%... maybe it's because he knows he has already been beaten, that's my guess anyway.
JMHO but I don't think there is enough on the line for Alex to give 100%. Not bashing, just stating my thoughts.. and exactly why I wouldn't bet on this match. Put $50K in the middle and I would bet on Alex 
I’m convinced by watching it live that Alex planned that scratch 100%. Which is odd. Do they play that he can’t jump the ball off the table to foul?

That is what make 1p such a great game, isn't it?
Another thing I really like: making ALL the balls left on the table in one inning. That really makes an opponent re-evaluate.
well, at least the scrubs like me. I wouldn't pretend a pool bully like the Pags would be bothered too much.
