helluva match, dennis o and anton raga

Ask Jay Helfert what he thinks about this. Dennis got beat twice on different days by the kid, Dennis days as the #1 money player in the world might be coming to a end.

And Dennis ended up with the money after they were all done. :thumbup:
 
Was watching previous match where Anton beat Dennis 25-21
But the funny thing is Anton did not want to shoot the final winning 10 ball even though Dennis gestured to him to shoot.

Maybe someone who can understand what he is saying can tell us what it was all about. Does seems strange.

He is saying that he still want to play, he wants it rack your own i think the recording was kinda garbled that time. This vid was cut i think because on the other vid i saw he wants to up it up to 400 k from 132k . That is in pesos

Right after Anton pockets the 9 ball and is left with a hanger on the 10, Dennis, who is well in Anton's peripheral vision, uncrosses his arms. I'm guessing Anton took that movement as a concession of the rack and match, but Dennis obviously didn't mean it as such.

I take it as very poor etiquette (at best, outright disrespect at worst) on Dennis' part. If he wanted Anton to shoot the 10, then he should've stayed absolutely still after Anton shot the 9 ball. I would have been pissed off too if I was Anton.
 
I believe they were just discussing a follow up match. If Dennis wanted him to shoot it, he would have to shoot it.

Dennis asked for another set.
He flew to Raga's town to play him.
Dennis might have sounded bad to those who don't speak Tagalog, he was being respectful in asking for another set.
Forget sharking. It does not happen down there. These players backers are not the kind of people you want to piss off .

They played again but not in Raga's home court and table.
Dennis lost the second set of alternate break sets.
Won the winner breaks set for a lot more stake.

Raga's a future world champion though.

Translation from Dennis. " I still want to fight . It's unfair to me. I accommodated you and played you here."
Dennis already conceded that 10-ball. Lord, even I couldn't miss that shooting from the back.
They call pool matches there as fight.

I stand corrected. It surely did seem he was waiting for Anton to shoot the 10 (I initially watched the video with the sound off here at work).
