Albin owns Shane. He beats him in every big match.
Expecting someone to pop in and say "Yeah but let him try him in a race to 460!"

When Albin won the World Championship 5 or so years back, I really thought it was a fluke, and that he was way, way, way, overrated. But, he has proven time and time again that it was not.
And he’s going to collect a cool $30,000 when Team Europe wins the Mosconi Cup in December. Fine year, indeed.
Ouch baby ouch.I need SVB to win to save me $1000
$1,000 to Fatboy is like $1.00 to you and me. LOL
Orcollo is gonna drill this Albin guy , whoever he is ! Lol
That trick shot show was great. I wish they had a good camera and mic on it. Did you guys see the early sot Massey did it twice, the second time in slow motion. It was the shot in the side and he said it was not a foul. I never saw that before, not sure how he did it.
I think it might be $40K. Losing team gets 15-20K.
Shane just beat Albin 11-2 last month in Atlantic City deep in the tournament. I remember watching that; Albin never had a chance. Shane put together a few packs and the few times Albin was at the table he never had an offensive shot. He didn't get a single roll in that match and was reduced to a spectator. It's a peculiar game, 9 ball. Both amazing players.
Playing nowMaybe I’ll fire the dime I owe on Denis. They play tmr?
Thx
Fatboy
Y’all ready to watch this pounding Orcollo puts on this boy !

The length to which some people will go to prove their .........To be fair, I guess Chainakhov has a fair chance of making the final 32 where the payment starts. My consideration of "dead money" players are those with probability less than 50% of making the final 8 (quarter finals). I place players like Chainakhov, Earl etc. in that category regardless of their past prowess. Dead money players are specific to the tournament and the people playing in it. I would not put Chainakhov and Earl in the dead money category for the Turning Stone classic, for example.
Here is Chinakhov's road to the final 8:
vs Robert Sopha 10-3, vs Tuan Chau 10-4, vs Jonathan Pinegar 10-5, vs Josh Roberts 10-6 and vs Bader Al-Awadhi 10-8.
Meanwhile players like Jayson Shaw, Naoyuki Oi, Fedor Gorst, Alex Pagulayan, Lee Van Corteza, Joshua Filler and Alex Kazakis did not make it to the final 8. I would say luck of the draw got Chinakhov to the final 8.
As per Fargo ratings, it has Chinakhov above Justin Bergman, Bustamante, Roberto Gomez, Denis Grabe, Ralf Souquet, Thorsten Hohmann, Omar Al-Shaheen, Chris Melling, John Morra, Mika Immonen, Darren Appleton etc. That speaks for itself, enough said!
Fargo reminds me of the points system for the All-American team in trapshooting. The reasonably good shooters with lots of time on their hand attend many shoots and accumulate points that put them in the top standing for All-American points. However, when the team is chosen, they only take your top 7 scores and a lot of these people fall to the wayside and cannot make the team.BTW, was it supposed to be Fartgo?
