I'm going to make a bold prediction and say Raga will win the tournament. You heard it here first.
I heard he is playing in the Chinese 8 ball tournament in China. 3 million yen prize money.What happened to Alex?
Surprisingly Ko Ping Chung is already out of the tournament. Lost to Georgi Georgiev 5-9.
Aranas is currently trailing Jani Siekkinen 6-7. If DD loses he's also out of the tournament.
Down to last 64 after 3 days. 22x800 players remaining from 26x800 at start

That would suck, for SVB to run into Sky at a big tourney like that a second time in a short span...the second group of 4 is a hornets nest. ko, raga, chang, lechner.. svb has the easiest path to QF, where he may run into sky or mario
Seems like the American contingent who makes it to the final 64 always gets stuck in the same group of 16 in these big MR tournaments.That would suck, for SVB to run into Sky at a big tourney like that a second time in a short span...
It looks like the players from the winners side keep their positions while the qualifiers from the losers side are drawn randomly. In theory the top 32 seeds can only match up early if there are upsets. In the round of 64:Down to last 64 after 3 days. 22x800 players remaining from 26x800 at start

Yes. That has been their secondary seeding methodology for past few events. Before that I think they sort losers qualifiers by performance (racks won loss etc) and top performing losers qualifier play the lowest seed from winners qualification while lowest performer from losers side meets highest seed from winners side.It looks like the players from the winners side keep their positions while the qualifiers from the losers side are drawn randomly.

Ouschan-Shaw
Filler-Zielinski
Albin and Jayson has toughest draw. They have to consecutively beat 6x800 players to win title (assuming 800s win their matches and don't get upsetthat happens.. the two greek buddies nick and alex drew each other first match.
the most high octane L64 matches are probably filler vs zielinski and albin vs jayson. would be a crime not to have them on the tv table
