Matchroom Major Event-European Open (8-13 Aug), Fulda, Winner $30K Prizefund $200K

Latest odds have FSR and SVB as slight favorites over Filler, Raga, Gorst.
I can see where the odds are coming from. Top half is brutal and Filler or Raga or Gorst will have less left in tank if they get to final. Whereas those in bottom half, SVB and FSR will have much "easier" paths to semifinals/ final

I couldn't believe when i see him point to it... It was a very difficult shot for the middle pocket from there, but i believe it was possible to pot the ball directly.
The confidence he had to go for that kind of shot shows how strong he is, but it is not flawless.

i think he could have four railed it safe-ish to the bottom rail, top spinning the cb to the top rail. probably other safe options as well, if the thin cut wasn't there
 
Now they just need to stop calling the balls "red three", "green six", "brown seven" etc. stop with the endless slow motion repeats and the event will be watchable.
A nice bonus: switch back the 4 and 5 ball but the other stuff is crucial.
 
ghoist (as upstateAL calls him) made another trickshot, kicking into the same pocket. 8-4 now. looking like a fedor filler thriller coming up
 
Anyone watching the DAZN stream?
Freezing up a lot on my feed. Curious if the paid version is any better. It hasn't been this choppy all week.
 
Mega blockbuster match so far is upcoming quarterfinal Filler v Gorst (in about 2.5 hours from now)
Big match closer Filler should edge out Gorst. I think only FSR or Raga can stop the Filler train. :LOL:

Alcaide making a kick shot with 100% confidence to the pot! The awareness one needs to have to do that is something far from simple understand...
 
It’s clear that he’s pissed off that De Ruyter got better luck on some shots but then SVB goes out and scratches. In rack 8, SVB literally is in his chair when he requests a timeout. Finally gets up stares at the 9 ball…rifles it in. Like, he’s coming up in spurts and he knows it.
 
Shane down 5-6 to De Ruyter and looking worse as a the match goes on. It's on the free youtube stream linked above and here:

 
Lmao SVB stopping the match and calling out someone’s watch reflection. Then immediately makes the shot. He’s just got to get back in the mindset. I know he’s had worse in bars but maybe he just wants to iron out any differences. The crowd very much is for the European.

even i saw the reflection, it was noticable. not sure it was a watch though, probably something bigger (or closer to the spotlights)
