There you are. Found the first hater.
I thought Dennis O was shaping up as the player to beat, but it shows that the differences are so small at the top level, that it only takes a bit of a bad run or a miss or two to stall a good run and have the opponent in the free-wheel zone.
Shane being up 8-0 fires in a bank rather than play safe. 9-0 now.
Baby Ko beat Dechaine and Big Ko beat Carlo definitely not upsets, but the rates are very close, so that's not a problem.
I have to say pretty accurate rating system.
Btw, nobody care about the world ranking, it only counts for about the first 20, after that it's just a matter of participation
Very cool, thanks for the info.
SVB breaks and plays a great safe on the one. Dennis makes a good hit, but leaves SVB a long shot. There's some work to do in this rack.
EDIT: SVB runs out to the 5. It was frozen/almost frozen to the 9. He went for the breakout, but ended up too close to the 5. He played safe. Dennis hits the 5, but leaves SVB a shot again

Anybody watches Morra-Ko ? So sad Morra let Ko off the hook by missing 2 easy shots, should have been 6-3 for him, now it's 5-4 for Ko. Pressure seems to get into him now, but Ko's not playing as well as previous rounds, so still a balanced match
Looks like Dennis got a gift card to Dunkin' Donuts.
Also, Shane's dominance in this match has reduced Orcullo's normal pristine play to almost below average play. It happens like this to me and I guess on occasion it even happens to great players like Dennis Orcullo.
