So now it looks like they have removed the 10 min delay also.
Alright looks like they caught us up to the live feed now.
It's 6-6
Rack 13: I think JB broke and made several balls and was faced with a tough opening shot on the four. I probably missed a ball or something in this rack. At any rate, he has a nice chance to take the lead here. JB is displaying some real nice cue ball control on this out and he takes the lead 7-6.

Rack 14: JB breaks dry and leaves an open table. Liu should be the favorite to get out here...but hold the phone Liu got straight on the 3 and needs to hit it good to get on the 4. He draws the 3 back and just gets shape on the 4, but HE DOES get shape on the 4. The rest of the balls find the bottom of the pockets.
7-7
***Liu plays only with an open bridge -- let the record reflect***

Rack 15: Liu losses his cue ball on the break. It gets pinged around the table and he ends up with a nice shot on the 1. Liu definitely has the speed of the table down. It looks like he's just practicing at this point. He stays out of trouble and puts them all in.
Liu now leads 8-7.
*** I like how the break appears to be playing out with the template rack and having the 9 on the spot ***

Rack 16: Liu to break...
Another dry break. JB will probably play safe but he may have a carom shot on the 1 off the 3. No way would he play that shot though....or would he....

Rack 16 (Cont):
He played the carom but tried to play safe in case he missed.....he missed.
Liu come to the table and goes over his safety options. He fired at the 1 and missed. JB back at the table with options...
WOW...Bergman fires the 1 into the far corner pocket with the cue ball near the end rail. He has a chance to get out here and really needs to. JB hangs up the 2. Liu has nice open table to go along with that nice open bridge. He gets out.
Liu up 9-7
*** The score is wrong on the live stream ***

Rack 17: Will JB get another chance?
Tiu avoids a scratch off the break and is now faced with an open table. He runs them out with ease and is now on the hill.
*** Tiu has very nice form. He using a deliberate back stroke pause and stays down nicely on the ball. He tends to do 3 warm up strokes before pausing, then pulling back slowly, followed by another pause, then fire. Looks good every time.***

Rack 18: Liu is breaking up 10-7.
He makes the 1 and is now lining up the 2-9 combo.

Rack 18 (Cont): Liu misses the combo and his first chance at closing out the match.
JB wants to get on the 3 but doesn't have any angle to work with on the 2.
WHAT A SHOT BY JB to get on the 3!!! He smoothly stroked the 2 in and spinned the rock all the way down table, in and out of the corner to get shape on the 3.
HE RUNS OUT THE RACK! That was a great out under the circumstances.
JB gets one back is now down 10-8 with the break.

We could be in for a great finish here folks
Rack 19: JB break dry again. His break has let him down this match.
Johnny says, "It ain't over yet." and he might be right. Liu needs to come with a shot on the 2 ball. He hits it hard while trying to draw the rock all the way back and he rattled it. JB comes to the table jacked up over the 8 ball BUT he comes to the table...
He hooks himself bad on the 3. He needs to come with a nice kick shot here...
HE KICKED THE BALL IN. He hooked the cue ball off the side rail by using a lot of draw and hit it absolutely perfect.
That was the good news. The bad news was he didn't have much of a shot on the 4. He tried a difficult bank shot that he missed.
Liu comes back to the table with his second chance at closing out the match. There's nothing standing in his way now except himself. He pocketed the 5 and bumped into the 6 and put it right in that funny spot by the side pocket where you can't do much with the cue ball because otherwise you will scratch.
He looks at the shot several times and finally hits it real nice and smooth bringing the cue ball right off the point of the side pocket. 7, 8, and 9 left on the table...
He again gets up off of the 7 ball to compose himself....gets down and fires in the 7. 2 balls away from victory. 7 in.....8 in.....9 in.....victory is his.
Liu win 11-8 in a well played match by both players.
