Does anyone know Anton Raga's age? The commentators were saying "youth vs experience", but I'm guessing he's at least 30.

Alcaide misses the 9.

6-6.

The miss was due to very weak position from a medium-hard position. Failed to draw the ball far enough.

 

[PoolBum]

Raga back in front, 7-6.

I see on FB that Raga was called for cue ball placement on the break shot. Did anyone see that?

The FB crowd keep posting that, I think two separate screenshots from two separate matches. I don't think they understand the top camera lies.

I did not see either occurance on video.

[iusedtoberich]

The commentary seems much less quantity than prior finals. The color guy is not saying as much from what I can tell. I don't mind it as a player-fan, but I wonder for the general fans if they would want more commentary and less dead space?

 

[PoolBum]

Great shots on the 2 and 3 by Raga in rack 21 to pull within one at 11-10.

I'm getting nervous!

nail biter...

 

[PoolBum]

Alcaide misses a routine 3 ball.

Raga gets too straight on the 5, plays for the bank on the 6, makes it and gets out!

11-11!!

(Rack 22) A drunk Girl Scout could have made that three ball if you held her up to the table. David's eyes were on the 4-9 combo.
