2019 China Open 9ball/9ft (5-8 Sep) Winner $40K

Stress free break and run for Wu and he leads 8-4. He had found his game.
 
Wu makes a great jump shot on the 2 after a safety by Shane, then runs out to go up 9-5.
 
Shane catches a break as he hooks Wu while kicking at the 2, then makes a nice runout to draw within 9-7.
 
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.
 
At last, SVB playing well --- let's hope it's not too late.

Wu 9 SVB 8
 
Wu makes a nice 4-6 billiard, but then hangs the 4 ball! Shane gets out to tie the match at 9-9!
 
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.
 
Shane gets hooked by the 8 on the break, kicks but leaves a shot for Wu, with an open table. Wu gets out to get on the hill, 10-9.
 
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.
