I've replayed this several times and it keeps looking like a good hit.

Faraon plays a nice safe on Takahashi then what appeared to me to be a good kick escape hitting the 1b then the cue ball releases toward the top short rail getting ready to make cushion contact and Takahashi picks up whitey to give Faraon BIH then he just rakes the balls seeing the 1-10 simple combo.

The hit looked good.

What am I missing?

EDIT: The 5th time watching was the charm. I now see that he fouls on the obstructing ball.

Better look at it again, Brian....Takahashi clipped the ball that was hooking him.
