Set up: hill-hill against a strong opponent. He just played safe and left you this, but the 5 didn't land quite the way he intended.
Facts:
* There's about 1/8" between CB and 5.
* The combo isn't quite dead; merely contacting the 5 ball does not guarantee the 9 will drop rather than rattle.
* You can count on your opponent to run out if you were to break up the 5 and 9 and leave him a shot on the 5, without tying anything else up.
* EDIT: The table's playing very short.
Here's the layout:
I did win the match, for the record.
