And it doesn't require any gaps in the rack.
I wanna thank Westcoast for pointing this out in another thread.
Corey will not be satisfied until he completely breaks 9 ball.
First he figured out how to make a ball on the break every time and get a look at the 1.
Then he figured out how to get an easy layout so he can run the whole rack every time.
Now he's figured out how to leave himself a wired 9 ball combo after running just 2 or 3 balls.

He hasn't quite perfected it, and maybe it only works on the barbox.
But in this one match he set it up every time
and was able to execute it for 5 out of his 9 wins.
He apparently randomizes a few balls so as to skirt around the pattern racking rule,
though it's obvious what he's doing. Sometimes he just has to run to the 3 ball,
which is near-wired to the 9. Other times to the 4 or 5. Somehow it's never, say, the 8 ball.
Don't get me wrong, the match actually shows some amazing shots by Corey.
It's not like all he does is get early 9's and then runs to the bank.
Dennis seems to be racking differently all the time and breaking much firmer.
Almost like he wants a random outcome. I dunno if he's trying to stick to the spirit of the law,
or if he just gave up trying to imitate what corey does. He's pattern racked in the past.
