One of the most entertaining frames ever? Tony Drago

The finish is just rediculous :grin::grin: From the world snooker shoot-out last weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_zHGu0iBTE
Another great match from this tournament with, if anything, a slightly better finish, this one featuring the world champion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AA_uQMe6wo
Make sure you watch to the end :grin-square:

Good post, I was a little surprised how the crowd acted I thought snooker was more, how can I put it, more refined. :smile:

It is usually, this was a one off sort of event with all the shot clock rules etc. The crowd were instructed to not hold back, as long as they were quite on the shot This wasn't always the case as they were allowed to drink and therefore got noisier as the night went on.

That makes sense thanks

In the last shot of the match, Rory was not playing for the black 3 rails, just 1 rail. The black double kisses off the cueball and winds up going 3 rails to pocket it for the match. At the end he even says that it was the only pocket he could go for isn't it...

Look at 12:44 at the overhead view and let me know if anyone agrees with me. Very unlucky for Drago.

Lol everyone knows it was just a hit and hope, especially Rory. It was all he could go for really given the amount of time left. He was just joking when he said he played for it, still entertaining stuff though

I don't think he was playing for one rail either, I think he was just slamming the ball and hoping for luck.
