China Open Reporting

SVB is down 5:6

Le He Wen snagged another one to go to 7:2 behind DeLuna.

SVB 6:6
Mika 6:6
CW 6:4
Gabica 5:5
 
Shane is on the 9 to make it 7:6

DeLuna at 8:2

I'd report on the other matches but I can't see the scores. Big breaks really reverberate in this arena.

Mika breaking at 6:6

Shane is in line on the 2 but is a little straight in. Gets a little funny on the 3 and calls the ref to clean the cueball. That's a good move to gain extra time. Looks good from here - DeLuna fires in another 9 ball to go up 9:2 - Shane is on the 9 to go up 8:6.

CW is sitting at 7:4

It really is too bad that Efren - Bustamante - Johnny Archer and other stars aren't here. We have plenty but there is something missing.

Thorsten appears to have 7 but I can't tell what his opponent has.
 
Charlie Williams just made the nine to go up 8:4. Sarah Rousey hired some Chinese male models who are cheering him on bare chested screaming "we love you Charlie!!! after every shot. - :-) Just Kidding but that's funny right thar - don't ker who ya R.

Gabica is down 5:7
Mika is down 6:7

Ralf just made 3 balls on the break and has a shot. I think he is down 4:7.

Wen is break at 3:9 down againt DeLuna

SVB is at 8:7

Mika is now at 6:8 down
 
Channel 48732 Shanghai Sports in TVU is showing Ralf Souquet vs ??

Ralf just plays a brilliant safety to leave his oppent jacked up and kicking. The three is big to kick and scratch and that is exactly what happened - ball in hand for the Kaiser.

Le He Wen grabs another one - 4:9 against DeLuna. ONly one problem here - The Bull gets to break many more times.

Ralf running out - I will know the score in a second. CW at 9:4

Ralf is ahead 8:4

Mika is down at 6:9

Shane breaks and makes 27 balls! Well just two but he has a shot - comes up wayyyy short on the four and has to thin it into the side and let the cueball go which results in no shape on the five - but no problem just banks it in - gets a little off-angle on the 6 and uses the clean the cueball move again to get extra time - is stretching over the table and has to force the postion from the 7 to the 8 but he gets there and makes the routine 9 to go up 9:7

Ralf has missed and left the table open with three balls.

Wen breaks at 4:10 after DeLuna won on his break.

CW at 9:5

Mika is in trouble here as he is facign the Hill at 6:10 - he has the very unhappy look.

SVB has ball in hand with nothing tied up. Only the six is a little tricky.

Souquet manages to win that game and is now at 9:4
 
SVB overdraws for position on teh nine and is frozen to the endrail with the nine in th middle of the table - he misses the pocket by a half diamond to leave an easy 9. SVB up 9:8

CW's lead is eroding at 9:6

Deluna snaps it off 11:4

Mika loses 6 or 7 to 11.

Gabica is at 6:8 down and shooting at an open rack.

Shane is facing a long difficult 2 ball. He drains it but is still funny on the three because he must send the cueball right into the 8 to have any chance to get position on the 4. He just grazes the 8 and comes up with a shot on the 4 but it's not a hanger - he makes it look like one though - rolls a touch too far on the six but it's no problem for the US Open champion. In line and out and now on the hill at 10:8
 
CW is on the hill at 10:6 and breaking. No shot.

Shane's opponent is running out - lot of fight in this one. 10:9 Shane.

Ralf has won 11:5

Gabica is down 9:6
 
Shane breaking on the hill - uses a relatively soft break and makes two balls and has position on the two ball - everything is wide open and he forces postion on the four with a stun shot to the rail and out. Three balls left.

He tries to get the referee to clean the cueball again and the referee says no. Shane is chuckling but he makes the 8 and 9 to win.

11:9 to Shane. Guess the refs are getting wise to the "dirty cueball" trick.

CW is up 10:7 and his opponent has an open table but a tricky path to the four ball. He makes it lok easy as he comes out of the corner narrowly avoiding the six and getting perfect shape. And then he blows the easy six ball by over cutting it while trying to hit it way harder than he needed to for shape on the 7.

Charlie has the routin 8 and 9 left to advance. He wins 11:7

Gabica loses 11:7

and that's it for this round - my ass hurts so I have to move.

You need Internet Explorer to watch, doesnt work with Firefox

She is off to a good start, in the first game the opponent slow rolled the 8ball to the center pocket - too soft - and ball in hand.

Next game 2-9 combo, so Sarah is up 2-0
