China Open

[HawaiianEye]

It's never come up in 30 years of pool that I can remember. DCC had it since the start. If a player runs out the set (when it was race to 7), the other player has the opportunity to do the same. Never was exercised once in probably thousands of 9 ball matches over 25 years of DCC.

The Earl 11 racks run for the 1MM his opponent had 4 games I believe.

The only other match I can think of that "might" have qualified was when Big Kaci put an 8 pack on Alex Pagulayan. I can't recall if Alex ever got to the table though before/after the run.

FWIW, I own the cue that was used to win that tournament where Earl ran those racks.

Is there a stream link? It is 11am there now. Matches must be happening or soon.

I watched this on YouTube, unfiltered in the Philippines.

Normally Bob, two good players should be able to play a race to eleven in one and a half to two hours max. Atlarge could probably comment on that.

This match, even though it went twenty games, felt like a marathon.

OK. I watched the ref rack one time. That’s enough for me.

The ref takes several minutes to rack using a template. More momentum killed!

A little over three minutes from nine to break shot.

That's several minutes Bob. You're okay with that?
