Ko isn't getting as many opportunities, but he's not taking full advantage of those he does get.
You better go get a rabies shot.
He could have played the two way bank putting the cue behind the 6 and shot softer…. He is a really aggressive player.. when given the option to be safe or go for it. he has usually gone for it.
If Dennis wins from here.. this was a GREAT match.. If Ko whens from here.. this will have been EPIC
Which is deadly on a table like this against the likes of Orcollo.
Dennis breaks.. makes a ball and has a good shot on the 1, this could be it.
and dennis WINS!
Great match… really tough table… Dennis played consistent and steady the last day…Ko played a mixture of brilliant and off by a hair (hanging several balls that gave Dennis great starts to runs). It seemed to me that Ko controlled the last stages of this match by either running out or messing up. It felt like Dennis was kind of reacting to Ko's brilliance or lack there of… In the end, Ko made to many mistakes down the stretch and Dennis was really solid. I think a table this tough favors solid over brilliant. Congrats to both players on a great match! I can't wait to watch Dennis and Shane play!
Agreed. The thing I like about SVB's break is that he controls the 1 ball better. SVB will break for long strings of racks where the 1 ball dies near the top corner pocket.

On a Pro-cut Diamond table, I like Ko over Dennis.
Dennis was breaking wet, but it seems like he kept getting bad rolls and no shot at the 1-ball. So he wasn't really able to string
along any packages.
Dennis showed hes the best after the break. Still dont know if he
can fade Shane's monster break on a regular diamond table. Shanes not invincible though. He lost to the russian guy for the cash. That was his home table and not a Diamond.
I think French mentioned the Dennis vs Shane match will be on a 4.25" pocket Diamond.
I think race to 100 is enough. The race to 160 for the shane/dennis match is way too much.
I would love to see a Ko vs Shane match.
