It was 6-3 Shaw ahead. Then Max won a game to make it 6-4, with Max breaking.

Ironically I was glad and surprised when the stream just started for me on the junior's final so I could watch it till now to find out that my joy was too optimistic.
Well .... pool fans might be the craziest and most patient people in the world.
Boom...they fix it when I was already going just to go and sleep. It will be a morning soon here in Kiev:thumbup:.

Cmon dig deep, make some kava and watch the rest!!:thumbup:

You are a true warrior my friend. Pool dedication :fist:

Shaw builds some distance 8-6 now. Has 2 cornermen Appleton and Melling in his corner.
Now why are Albin and Mario not in Max's corner

 

[PoolBum]

Shaw scratches on the break, up 9-6. It's now or never Lechner.

 

[PoolBum]

Lechner gets out to make it 9-7.

 

[ShortBusRuss]

Lechner seems tighter and much more uncertain on tricky position shots than in the matches he dominated...

 

[PoolBum]

Shaw fouls on the jump shot and Lechner gets out again to pull within 9-8.

 

[Cardigan Kid]

Seems like every match has been down to the wire, why should the finals be any different?

 

[PoolBum]

Lechner plays safe on the 1 but leaves a shot. Shaw runs out to go up 10-8.

 

[PoolBum]

Shaw tries a thin cut on the 2 and misses hitting the ball completely.

Lechner gets out to pull within one game again at 10-9.

 

[PoolBum]

Shaw goes up 11-9, two games away from the title.

 

[spartan]

OMG, Max gets good break but missed 2. Shaw wins rack for 11-9
Eagle Eye was a bad movie. So far it is looking like a good movie for Eagle Eye here :grin:

 

[PoolBum]

Shaw misses the same shot on the 1 ball twice in one game, leaves an easy shot on the 1, but Lechner miscues and fouls. Shaw should be on the hill shortly.

 

[ShortBusRuss]

Lechner is done, stick a fork in him. Held up to the pressure all week, but he is dogging his brains out in this match. Shaw has been beatable in this match, but Lechner just not getting it done.

 

[PoolBum]

Shaw gets out of line on the 4, plays a bad safe, but Lechner goes for a very difficult combination and sells out.

Shaw on the hill up 12-9.

Of course I'm not going to give up and watch it till the end if the stream is ok.
I wish Max does the same at the table. It looks like there is too much tension in him or just out of gas. Looks like it's the end.

Lechner is done, stick a fork in him. Held up to the pressure all week, but he is dogging his brains out in this match. Shaw has been beatable in this match, but Lechner just not getting it done.

If Lechner had played up to the standard he played all week he would have taken this title.

Lechner shooting only a .781 here.
