New leader....Cheng up 19-18
Big action, Kevin Cheng vs DD
- Thread starter gxman
- Start date
IMO, it would've been over before it started if Aranas was on his "A" game.....not even close.
I would have never thought it would end up being close match at any point.
Oh well, I'm wrong once again.

Damn Cheng is a monster.
DD runs a 7 pack and nonstop BNR's with an 18-10 lead
and Cheng comes back for the win.
Cheng went 15-3 to close out the set.
I go to sleep and Cheng runs a 9 pack (according to Roy). Wow...
As I noted earlier in this thread, Aranas' highest gear is higher than Cheng's highest gear, but these players are pretty darn even, with Fargos of 804 and 802 respectively. Actually, as Cheng a) won the WPA Players Championship in April, and b) reached Stage 2 of the WPA World 10-ball Championship last week, a case can be made that Cheng came into the match in better form.
This match was always supposed to require three sets.

Thanks for the updates!
Is this Cheng the same one that won the US Open a couple years ago?

Yep, same guy.
Saw him win the White Diamond's(with the monster calcutta) barbox tournament that year.
Over the years,
1st US Open 9b
3rd in World 9b
2nd in China Open.

Not a slouch for sure.
Are these 7 and 9 pack counts correct? I know it’s super easy to sleep the run count. Happens every single match we watch includeing by the match commentators.
Are they playing on a standard Diamond or something easier?

The 7 pack is 100% correct. I documented it earlier, game by game, in this thread. The 9 pack I heard from Roy. He reported false package info on Day 1 so who knows?

I wasn’t paying much attention, cause I was in the process of running 13 racks myself.
All this chit chat about packs reminds me I have a 15 pack of hop hash ale in the downstairs fridge that I've been neglecting.
Getting thirsty up in hrrre.

Obviously. I figured most people knew I ran the racks one handed.
