Mike does some more nice shotmaking and goes up 3-2.
Poor shot selection on the 5 ball by Albin let Mike take the rack.
3-2 Mike
3-2 Mike
Albin plays a safe, mike jump banks it in. Looks like he leaves himself a tricky carom on the 9, but plays safe instead. He doesn't come out great, and Albin misses the 5. Mike needs to come with a couple shots to get out. Mike leaves himself on the wrong side of the 8, but hits it with some speed and comes back out perfectly. Mike playing pretty well. He's up 3-2.
Albin taking the heat bad!!!! Dechaine will crush him if he keeps showing weakness. That was a creepy 5 ball miss by Albin, didn't look that thin and close to the rail I'd expect a top player to make that shot pretty easily and run out instead he gives up another game.
Albin's break is working much better than Mike's right now.
Not much work to do on Albin's breaks, but he plays really weird shape on the 6 and comes out fine. 3-3.
Albin makes a beautiful runout - tied 3-3 with Mike breaking
dry break for Mike, Albin has easy shot on the 1
Albin all over the place on that rack, but runs out. He's up 4-3 and breaking.
He can't win unless Albin dogs it, plain and simple...that's clear
WTF are you talking about?
Mike played a jam up safe, but the 1 fell and he's hooked. Albin with ball in hand with no problems.
Seemed pretty clear. Dechaine can't win unless Albin dogs it. And Albin is breaking at 4-3.
Other than the breaks, i think Mike's outshot Albin for sure this match.
I apologize if he meant from here out, not just in general.
