Shaw up 10-7. Race to 13. Z keeps getting close to tie it and then messes up.

 

[iusedtoberich]

JJ in the booth. I wonder if he has the world series on in the background. Housing just hit a home run to take the lead in the 6th.

 

[kling&allen]

12-10 Shaw. He's made a few minor errors that are keeping him on the hill.

 

[Fatboy]

First & last games are the hardest to win

 

[kling&allen]

Shaw wins it with a nice billiard. A good final! Stu looked like he enjoyed himself.

 

[skogstokig]

good for him, he hasn't won much big since the last time he won the int'l. there were some really cool shots in that final. in the semi as well, very aggressive play.

I just watched Friday's quarterfinal match between Gorst and Ouschan -- another remarkable performance by Gorst in pocketing and position play. The match was not on the feature table, so no TPAs were posted, but I imagine Gorst was in the high 900s again. Hard to see how he was going to lose to anyone, but Zielinski got him in the next round. How fickle this game can be!
