Francisco Bustamante vs. Jayson Shaw

shane-like break for jayson... cue ball sitting so pretty. 1 near corner. Proceeds with his run.

B'n'R DOGGED :( On the 3 ball no less. Smacked the stick hard on the rail after that one. It's still in working order somehow.

Busty similarly screws up routine shape and scratches in the side, but wisely bangs the butt on the rail instead of the shaft :P

J gets it back and gets out. 12-11
 
smooth for me powell, try refreshing.

Shaw breaks and makes 2, gets ok on the 1 but 2 is too close to the 6. Bravely tries running into it... gets hooked. Bit unlucky. He kicks, and his cue ball goes through a ball-sized gap to scratch >_<

He's trying to play some strong heroic pool and the table is being ice cold to him.

Busty out. 12-12.
 
Funny story from the commentator. Room owner in adelaide, considered the top player in australia at the time, gets a call from someone. "Hey, this guy wants to play you like 600 dollar sets." ... it's Busty and the room owner doesn't recognize him. Busty gets him for three sets, the guy gets robbed in his own room.

This guy gets invited to (I think) the china open championships in Taiwan. Who does he draw first? "....Heeeey, I know you!"

Busty breaks, makes one, loses cue ball, ends up 9 feet away from the 1 ball... rifles it in, moves around the entire table to fall great on the next ball. Little awkward on the 4... agh. No good. Left J hard. Tries a 2-way full table bank, no good, sells out a long look at the 4. Busty makes it and uses maximum low left body english to keep the cue ball from scratching in the kitchen corner. But did fall a bit straight on his next ball and settled on the 6. Missed.

Jayson gets out, though I can't say I like how he got on the 9 to get to the 10... has to make a rail cut and zigzag over'n'back. 13-12.

Who was the room owner?
 
Dry break from shaw, with easy shape on the 1. Busty starts out very nice, no screwups, but falls straight on the 5. Bumps the 6 trying to play shape. Forced to cut it 7 feet down the rail with inside. Missed.

Incidentally these are larger than average pockets. 10 foot table with 4 and... I think 7/8" pockets.

Jayson throws away a golden opportunity and scratches. Manages not to turn his cue into toothpicks. Busty gets out.
 
Rich: it's going slow, you have plenty of pool left to watch. It's not their top pool but it's good pool. The ten footer is just getting them I think.

Celtic: he couldn't remember the guy's name sadly.
 
Wow, busty just played shape on a 5 inch window for the 3, and got there. Can't say I love the choice but he executed it and makes the ball.

Gets out.

Break'n'Run! Finally.
