Fedor seems rattled right now after just botching that position from the 6 to the 7 in rack 22 that an apa 4 would have made. Didnt expect to see that from fedor

I think that Fedor is having a hard time with the noise and the commotion around. Something that the Asian players are more accustomed to

Fedor said on his FB page last week that he was he clear favorite. Well, he was and is, but he sure is off to a slow start.

Isn't this the same Vietnamese player that had an exhibition with Efren in the first Hanoi Open?

EDIT:
So is this the same guy? They look alike, both are lefties, and have the same last name (though Nguyen matching isn't saying much). First name Tkon vs. Anh Tuan.

 

[jbart65]

That's him. As you can see, he is referred to in English by different names. Might be a translation issue ...

doesn't sound like a good idea to race to 120 when you have a neck problem

 

[skip100]

Seems like quite a home court advantage for Nguyen.

Why does Gorst have two jump cues?
What is the difference?

un fortunately they post a cash number they are playing for but never what they are really gambling for.

not all of course, but much of these are more exhibitions than gambling matches as far as the cash prize.

i would certainly rather watch tony's site with him playing and giving great advice than two players playing with possibly no skin in the game or very little from a backer, running out 9 or ten ball over and over on a stream.

I don't think its that severe. LOL

It was a way to get out of that tournament in the middle of nowhere.

This. The 40k is advertising and marketing. Both guys are already paid to do this.

What kind of gross pool related sales figures do you think a streamed match will generate? My guess is that it will not be a very high figure.

Not sure and depending on location.

If you and I were to play each other and they gave us as little as 10k person and advertise it as a 100k match. We do it. LOL

Probably laugh about it over dinner later.

Yes, perhaps only ten guys in the world have a shot to beat Fedor in a long race right now, and since I've never heard of his opponent, I'm guessing he is not one of them.

I'm sure that this is a paid exhibition. As is nearly always the case in these falsely advertised matches, I doubt either has any action here.
