It certainly was a terrific accomplishment. But whether it was tough equipment is debatable. They used an Olhausen for the streaming table in 2013, whereas the rest of the tables in the room were Gold Crowns. Based on this picture (

But Olhausens tend to reject some shots hit into the pocket facings, so it probably was a little tougher than the mouth dimension alone would suggest.
About half of the matches I watched in 2013 on that table (I only missed a few that were streamed) had runs of 75 or more balls (including 6 runs of 100 or more).
