Just gonna share the flyer because for some reason,
it was a pain in the ass for me to find it again even though I was seeing it everywhere.
Johnny it's 10b, Call shot (not call-shot call-safe), Winner breaks, standard wooden rack,
standard 9-foot pro-cut diamond table, (not shimmed etc).
With a standard rack it's a no-brainer they're gonna rack their own. No mention of jump cues being banned,
so I would assume they're allowed.
French shot himself in the foot by letting it slip that he was backing Ko Pin Yi,
while Ko was playing French's other horse.
This immediately caused suspicious types to wonder if the whole match with Dennis was rigged.
And the $20,000 match was actually a $2500 match, and French knew this but didn't mention it.
They have a plausible innocent explanation for all of this... kpy's backer backed out,
so they decided to hold the match anyway for the sake of the streamers
and scraped up a few bucks to give the players something for their effort.
And french claims he wasn't backing KPY at the time of the match,
he was only going to stake him at the DCC.
Even if all that's true, by failing to disclose the changed bet he made it pretty clear
he is willing to lie about the stakes in a match, and that alone is enough
to change how people would bet.
Dennis and Shane may not play the same if the money is only a fraction of what's claimed.
