[BasementDweller]

I'll provide updates if they get their stream issues resolved before bed time.

Right now, LH is warming up.

Thanks. It's much appreciated.

Starting to look good

Bergman was warming up momentarily and now Scott is introducing the players.

Looks like we are going to get rolling.

Jerry Forsyth is being joined by Johnny Archer.

Tao won the lag and is racking them up. Here we go folks.

Justin Bergman has been playing the best pool of his life....will it continue tonight?

 

[BasementDweller]

Rack 1: Breaks and cue ball ends up at the far end of the table and he is blocked by the 3. He has to push out. Liu pushed to a kick and Justin let him do just that. Tao left him straight in and Justin has the first open shot of the match.

Justin with his laid back and mellow approach runs them out smoothly.

Justin 1-0

Is that Johnny in the booth?

 

[Joe_Jaguar]

Can't Accu-Stats put the guy's name right on the stream? It isn't Bergman vs Tao!

Rack 2: Justin cut breaks and makes a ball and ends up nearly frozen to the 1. He feathers the 1 and sends the cue ball down table where it hides behind the 3. Tao kicks and missed it by a bit.

Justin takes ball in hand and easily stays in line through the entire rack.

Justin 2-0.

Johnny lets out a nice big yawn for viewing audience.


**Stream is working just fine now folks. Now's the time to tune in.**

Joe -- what's his correct name? So I can post it correctly.

Joe -- what's his correct name? So I can post it correctly.

It should be last name vs last name. For some reason they can never get this straight on streams with the Chinese players.

Bergman vs Liu.

Rack 3: Justin cuts them and makes the 1. He has a tough shot on the 2 -- a table length slow roller. He tried to drag it in to hold position and overcut it but came out safe. It may have been a 2 way shot on his part. Liu masse's the ball and gets a hit. Safety battle ensues.

Liu flukes in the 2 on a nice kick shot but still not much to work with on the 3...

Bergman scratches on a failed safe attempt. Liu runs out and thumps the 6 ball in the process.

Liu breaking down 1-2

** I think I see Scott Frost sweating the action in the front row**

 

[BasementDweller]

Rack 4: Liu with a nice break and an even nicer opening shot 2 feet from the 1 ball that's 6 inches from the corner pocket. He runs them out with ease.

2-2

***1 BNR a piece***

Thanks for updates.. sounds like it's going to be a close one

 

[BasementDweller]

Rack 5: Liu has the break down. I keep missing which ball he makes but he's playing position for the 1 in the corner at the head of the table. Another nice layout and has no trouble getting out.

Liu takes his first lead 3-2.


***No missed balls yet. Bergman scratched once and that's the only glaring mistake so far.***

Is there no shot clock in this match?

 

[BasementDweller]

Rack 6: Liu continues to break from the right side of the table with his open bridge but he comes up dry for the first time. JB has a nice layout but has to shoot a 3-7 combo. It could be trouble but he handles it just fine. His cue ball gets away from him while using the bridge but he bears down and runs them out. He had to slow roll the 5 in and stayed as still as a statue on the shot.

Tie ball game 3-3.


***SJM may be hanging out in the front row too***

 

[BasementDweller]

I think they said no shot clock for some reason.

 

[Joe_Jaguar]

Is there no shot clock in this match?

Nope :rotflmao:

He is a camera whore. Spends more time watching his tablet than the match. :boring2:
