Well, coming in I predicted that the last 16 would be two Ko brothers and fourteen other guys, so I guess I nailed it. [...]

Yes you did.

For the 16 matches this morning, Stu and FargoRate both predicted 13 correctly.

Bieberlvr predicted 11 correctly
WPA rankings predicted 10 correctly

Ko overplayed shape and missed, but left Mike tough. Ko back at the table and running out.

 

[bounoun]

Did Appleton gave up the last game ????

 

[gxman]

BNR for Mike to inch back 6-4.

Mike steals a game from ko's break to get back to 6-5.

 

[Masayoshi]

Wang Can is putting up a pretty good fight against Wu who has been playing near perfect all day.

 

[ChicagoJoe]

Nice attempt at a kick by Lung, but leaves Shane pretty easy. Should be 9-4.

 

[drv4]

Mike coming back! Go dechaine and SVB!

 

[gxman]

Mike wins 3 straight to get back even 6-6.

Baby Ko breaks..

 

[shanesinnott]

From 6-3 down, Mike is now tied with Baby Ko 6-6

 

[ChicagoJoe]

Dechaine tied it up. Race to 5.

 

[skip100]

Big Ko is almost as tough to watch as Kevin Cheng.

 

[Dockter]

Just want to thank everyone for the updates while I'm at work. You guys are awesome.

 

[ChicagoJoe]

Mike had a tough shot, but missed badly. Ko has a chance to go up 7-6.

 

[skip100]

Mike makes a cross table bank on the 1 and then plays a nasty safety on the 2 ball... but apparently leaves it too close to the pocket, because Ko makes a 2-rail kick shot and gets shape on the 3.

 

[gxman]

damn Mike leaves a tough safe but baby Ko 2 rail kicks in the 2 and in the process of running out.

 

[ChicagoJoe]

Mike's gotta be sick. That was a great bank on the 1 and safe on the two.

 

[skip100]

After all that, though, Ko hooks himself big time and now Mike is back at the table with a chance to tie it up.

 

[ChicagoJoe]

Maybe Ko felt bad because he just left himself hooked on a pretty easy leave.

 

[ChicagoJoe]

Great speed by mike to get on the 8. Tied up with Ko breaking.

edit. Morra came back and tied it up with Mika 8-8.

 

[gxman]

Battle of the titans! Mike gets a tough game and evens it up at 7-7.

Baby Ko breaks..

Mean while John Morra evens it up with Mika at 8-8. Was down by at least 3 games.
