Wrong, but I did proffer a potting drill at one time. Just remembered my password and have been bored for a few years while spying for the CIA in Jagmanistan.
2023 World Pool Championship, Kielce, Poland
- Thread starter Bob Jewett
- Start date
It's interesting at the end of each rack they show a quick succession (5 sec total) of the shots from the "prior" rack. I know they've showed the current rack for years. I wonder if this is a glitch, or for some technical reason they decided to show the prior rack.
True. Unfortunately Wiki articles on some minor things (like pool) are written by enthusiasts. I recall one of them in English segment must have been AZB's own @JAM . Dunno if she's still in the business there, as she was complaining about editorial stuff is a pain in the arse at Wiki.
I've been using German version occasionally, when Google search does not bring anything else (or does bring wikipedia.de link as one of the top results).
Lately, I was saddened by the face that Wiki article on 2022 World Pool Championship does not provide a SE bracket (unlike previous events). With all the different brackets that are in use now we are likely to lose such info as time goes by. Especially with the fact that some of those bracket services are either hard to navigate/search or are simply very unfriendly to the user.
FSR performance in the quarters vs Chang Jun Lin woudl be a nice starter. He just ran over the opponent. The more surprizing is such a contrast overnight.
What time does it start today ?
It's been going for 3.75 hours already today and they are on the second match of the day now (Mario He vs FSR, current score is 8-6). After this match ends there will be a break and then the "evening" session starts again in about 2.75 hours at 12:30pm EST.
The final match is scheduled at 18:30 local time.
(Second semi is in-running)
Not round here de dont.
You could be right. His regular demeanor and confidence seemed to come back a few games back and it usually comes with beast mode play.I think Ruiz will make a comeback and win.
Ruiz on a run, trailing by just 1 frame now at 7-8 to Mario He.
mario needs to practice straightbacks.
Particularly off the rail. That last safety by FSR was good enough in terms of cue ball control, parked the whitey right where it belonged on that shot.
There is obvious swing of momentum. Mario might be in trouble from now on, as Sanchez Ruiz tasted blood and could see the finish line before his Austrian opponent.
FSR now leads, 9-8
Ruiz has had finishing straight stream train vibes in his last 2 matches. My early tip to win this event.
even though FSR has a solid winning record against mario, this is going to sting because of the lead he had and the similarities to the european open. rough.
From memory, Mario led 8-3 and lost 8-11, is that correct? And Ruiz had a great finish in the quarters as I recall.
This is going to be a great finals! Two road runners, and both have a lot of personality and smile and laugh. A win for us.
sounds right, he led 7-2 at one point.
That was a fantastic game 17, when it was tied 8-8. A great series of safeties and escapes. Mario made jump shot after jump shot until he finally failed on the last one. All credit to Mario as he hung tough in the face of pressure from FSR, who wasn’t missing anything.
Francisco looked like the best player in the world the way he played in that comeback and eventual victory.

The AZB article seems to infer that Ruiz is Italian??? Jeez.
"The final action of the day came from Nineball World No.1 Sanchez Ruiz against Chang Jung-Lin. Chang left Sanchez Ruiz breathless winning the opening three racks but the tides turned quickly as El Ferrari found his gears to accelerate away like an Italian stallion."
