2023 World Pool Championship, Kielce, Poland

[891014+1]

Who is commentating the final?

 

[Vahmurka]

this is funny cuz if drago or earl misses a ball people say if he took more time yada-yada..

In one of the interviews Drago explained the reason he was playing that fast: "I'm just afraid I lose that aiming line!"

Recently I've seen just the same explanation from one of the speed shooters, don't remember either the name or even the game (very well that might have been snooker)

Who is commentating the final?

the 3 amigos

JJ, Boyes and Yates

Who is commentating the final?

Jeremy Jones and Karl Boyes. I also think Phil Yates is there in the booth with occasional remarks.

 

[PoolBum]

Both players making multiple mistakes in rack 8. Soufi had an open table but couldn't get out. 4-4.

 

[iusedtoberich]

Is Phil Yates a player? Or purely a commentator?

 

[PoolBum]

B&R by FSR to go up 5-4.

Is Phil Yates a player? Or purely a commentator?

He was a snooker player back in the day.

The armor is coming off. FSR leads 6-4.

 

[skogstokig]

poetic justice

7-5 fsr

 

[Poolplaya9]

Mohammed Soufi is like a Chezka Centeno with gonads.

 

[ALT_ESV]

Jeremy Jones can't commentate this match properly...purely on the fact that Soufi takes the opposite of the 'Correct Shot' everytime.

@JAM

Go to 2 hrs 5 min, between the racks, and watch the upper left of the screen, first row of the audience. A little girl reaches over to kiss her dad. I tried to take a screenshot, but the software is too "smart" and blocks me.

if FSR wins this it would be two world championship titles within three months for him. would be quite a feat

 

[BasementDweller]

Oh, maybe soon the promoters will discover the beauty of a color that is completely new to pool. That's GREEN!

Nah....I think they wisely have tried to separate 9 Ball from snooker as much as possible. So no green cloth.

 

[skogstokig]

kinda the same situation as in the semi, ruiz really picking up steam towards the tail end

12-8 now

 

[BlueRaider]

Man, now I want to see FSR vs Gorst in a major tournament. They are the players to beat at the moment.

 

[skogstokig]

FSR has had a couple of weird shot selections

I couldn't understand why Yates was comparing this to double WC Wu at 15/16 until I realized FSR won the 8 ball WC.
