Shane makes a nice 3-7 combination, and the 3 ball cooperates by kissing off the cueball, leaving an easy layout. Wu up 9-8 now.

It's 9-9 after a terrible miss on the four by Wu. SVB will break two of the last three racks so he's in control.

Wide open table for Wu after the break, with the 1 sitting in front of the corner pocket.

Wu runs down to the 6 in the side, but gets slightly on the wrong side. He tries to go 3 cushions but runs right into the 8. Wu tries a very difficult long-rail bank on the 7, misses, and leaves a long shot on the 7.

Shane rolls the 7 in and gets out to go hill-hill!

Wow, back from the dead for SVB, now to break at double hill 10-10. Wu had an out for the match at 10-9, but a position play error cost him the rack.

Once again the balls don't cooperate for Shane on the break, with the 3 hooking him with the 1 ball sitting near the corner pocket.

Shane tries to kick the 1 in but hangs it. Another golden opportunity for Wu.
