Frost got mad that Efren took him out in 1p.
Frost played great. He was one of only two Americans left (the other being Shane).
Gideon
Frost was playing pretty damned strong.
They are the worst.
An official WPA World 8-Ball Championship hasn't been held since 2012, and Ko Ping-Chung has never won that event.
He did win the 16-player 2014 CSI Invitational 8-Ball Championship, beating SVB in the finals.
You are right-They suck and will never be heard from again. The DCC was the straw that broke the camel's back. The world 9 and 10 ball titles are so far in the distant past they are no longer a factor-Joke format anyway!!!
Ko Pin Yi made 100-****ing-000 dollars in prize money in 2015,
how on earth can that be sucking?
Are we not counting tournaments won outside of the united states?
Those are the ones with the stiffest competition and biggest payouts.
Those are the ones more filipinos can attend.
It's the exact opposite for one of the brothers, he's winning a ton LATELY
and wasn't winning as much for several years prior to 2015.

Some just can't get it.
For those who weren't there at the Derby, the Ko brothers did just fine.
Big Ko played superbly in the 10-ball, but Francisco played a match for the ages to beat him. In the 9-ball, in about round 10, Big Ko ran into a red-hot Jason Klatt and was 4-0 down before he had a really good look at a runout. Ko was brilliant in fighting back to double hill but his dry break ended his chances. Still, he played like a champion of the highest order in his near comeback.
Little Ko didn't play in the 10-ball, but impressed in the 9-ball, beating some solid players along the way including a very tight match with Mike Dechaine. Once again, it was Bustamante that found his best game to eliminate Little Ko, but Little Ko showed some really strong form.
The Derby City 9-ball is crazy difficult and never had a field as tough as this one, but the Ko brothers probably won about seventeen matches between them before being eliminated.
They are among the elite, but certainly not above the elite. Great players for sure.
