Saturday: Semifinals of 2013 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship

Even though people will say the field was soft so this win isn't as special, he still did it back-to-back! Amazing run Shane!!!
 
Shane returns.

It was announced that the break was illegal. Shane has the option to turn it back, but he doesn't because the 1 ball is an easy straight-in shot in the corner.

The other balls are all clumped in the middle of the table, though. This will be a tough pattern to run out.

Shane makes the 3 in the corner. The ball travels around the table, giving him a nice angle to get to the 5 in the corner.

Shen continues to pocket balls. The balls seem to be working in his favor. He pockets the 6 in the corner. Perfect straight-in shot on the 7. 8 and 9 are laying sweet for him.

Shane takes his time on this 8 ball, and he makes it. Now he looks at the 9. He settles himself, chalks the cue. He makes it. He wins.

Shane is our new U.S. Open 9-Ball Champion, his third Open title.

Shane 13, Lee 10. Shane wins!

Thank you for the live update.

It was great to have your updates rack by rack.

Really appreciate it when I am unable to get a live stream here. :)
 
Thank you to all for your very kind words. I had fun! :D

Poor Shane now is getting bombarded with autograph seekers.
 
Congratulations Shane! You deserve it champ!

To Lee Van, salamat sa pagtayo ng bandila! Pinagmamalaki ka namin.
 
Thanks JAM

Last 3 Winners of the US Open won it Back2Back. Mika, Darren and now SVB.
 
I feel like I should pay you because it's like I got to watch the match.
Thank you!
 
Earl has won it 5 times, Mike Sigel 3 times, and now Shane has won the US Open 9ball Championship 3 times. That's a hard act to follow, and if I didn't know better, I'd bet he's after Earl's record number of wins;):thumbup:
