Nice thread/comments, JAM. I'm away right now but have been trying to keep track of things.

Would be nice to see Mika progress after being bumped to the loser side so early.

Cream is rising to the top as it should.... Has anyone taken a look at the stroll svb has had through his bracket??? Or just about anyone else??? Most top players untested to this point...

Here's svb's draw - oldervik, al shaheen, petroni, mastermaker, and now sossei. He's prob a 4-5 game fav over sossei... That is his path to reach us open semis.... Obv, not taking anything away from svb.... Def one of my favs to watch and I would love to see him repeat... Just pointing out the soft field and luck of the draw....

Here is Oscar's path to reach us open quarters... howri, pettenger, guimond, bennett....


Now lets rewind to last years open.... Every match from 3rd rd out seemed to be a coin flip... Below are some of the intl champions we're missing from last year's monster open....


Dennis, Alex, Efren, Busty, Alcano, Parica, Chang, He Li Wen, Ko Pin Yi, Biado, NVB, Dang, Ouschan, Liu, Alcaide



That being said, I'd love to see Niels finally snap it off... How on earth did he beat Daz 11-2??? Or Archer 11-1 over van van??? He's the clear fav over oscar to reach semi... As is svb over sossei.. The other 2 matches archer/shaw and melling/dechaine are coin flips imo... Dechaine/Melling the most intriguing and my pick for accustats stream... B-side stream choice would be Kennedy/Souquet....


Let's not forget Mika lost his 1st match and has been a man on a mission... I'd like to see Niels/Svb hot seat match and a Svb/Mika final... How many would mika have to win to make final 9??? 10??


Some possible B-side matchups brewing - daz/can, corey/hohmann, mika/boyes,



Last but not least... For the 1st time in over 10 years I'm unable to watch the us open live or via accustats stream.... It's an issue with comcast/xfinity and not accustats... Some type of ip block going on... Comcast wants to charge me $33 just to speak to a tech for fixing this... :angry::mad::angry::mad::angry::mad:

Agreed.

Without the Pinoys it is a different ballgame.

Nice post and observation.

Nice opening post JAM.

Cheers.
 
JA 1-0 over shaw.

9-ball still tracking toward bottom left pocket way too often. :mad:

Man, I thought they were going to fix that table or at least play on a different table for the TV.

Nope, definitely not fixed. Shaw takes game two, and the 9-ball is once again 4" from the pocket after his break. Archer running out.

2-1 JA

I don't believe it's the table. I believe it's the wooden rack and what you can do with it. All balls tight in 9 ball= 9 don't move much unless kicked by another ball coming back off the rail. It's the fingers. ;) Johnnyt
 
Thanks to AzB-er Eric., here's a few pics of the event.

This one is another panoramic, so I had to reduce it to fit in the thread. It kind of gives you an idea of the atmosphere.

Here's a cool shot of the TV table. That is Pat Fleming and crew in the background. Looks like Darren is standing there with his arms crossed.

I would like to know what the biggest package has been on the tv table thus far, and how many of them were early combos. As often as the 9 is gagging up in the pocket, somebody has to have strung a decent number.

Shaw makes his second incredible jump shot of the match - ties it at 2-2.

Here's a view of what it is like to sit in a VIP seat ringside at the TV table. There's Greg Sullivan at the end of the row. Look how tan Barry is. Must be nice living near a beach. :grin:
