I'm on Matchroom live and can't find the Ruiz match there? Youtube I'm not seeing either? Matchroom.live has worked fine for me all day. Giving me the option of table 2 or 3, but both are blacked out....Is it a different table and or a different way to watch that I'm missing?
I wonder if the last matches they turn off matchroom live and only dazn works? Just speculating on my part.

Chang misses an open one ball, but gets a fortunate leave. Good kick by Ruiz but Chang has a second chance at the one, and misses again. I think he’s toast.

Thanks for that!!! I have DAZN too and am watching now. Honestly, I don't know why I pay for Matchroom. Yeah it's cheap, but considering the free content they put out on youtube and that much of the content goes on DAZN and now this BS, I'll probably be canceling (don't watch much snooker). Just doesn't make sense, why I need to watch matchroom content on DAZN...Anyways, thanks again, at least I'm watching it and one of my subscriptions works.

Ruiz putting the finishing touches on it now. Taking a little more time with this final rack. Tricky layout. Masterful run out! 11-4 win.

Has anyone ever heard of Parris competing again? He won the U17 WPA 9 ball WC in 2018. I looked up his name at Fargo, he only has 300 games in the system. It seems like he appeared and then disappeared out of nowhere.


He competed in world Juniors the following year, Fall 2019. We've seen nothing since then.
From Google, seems we lost another one to college and a life

Has anyone heard for sure the corner-pocket mouth size on the streaming tables (esp. Table 1)? Is it 4¼" like last year?

How diverse this sport has become, and pretty much all sports ,
A bit of digging on Soufi - what a life. Escaped Syria and the Civil War as a 20 year old and went to Germany and played in their clubs/national leagues. Seems he has a classical training in pool compared to my first impressions where he was just one stroking everything.

Somewhat related, Incase you missed the windows open podcast with Diamond Chad, the tops of the 4.25” DCC tables will be going to Europe for a matchroom event in a few weeks.

JJ commented that his “bit of sidearm” might be an indication of him starting at a very young age. I never heard of him before this event, but it was fun to watch him tear through racks and get the crowd behind him.

Albin’s first shot against Soufi was hard to understand; pushing out to a wide open shot. Was it a huge mistake, or a gross insult to Soufi? The commentators described it as gamesmanship. If this was the case, then it was great to see Albin sulking and pouting as Soufi sent him home.
