Perhaps gambling isn't the correct term, technically...but that wasn't the point.
Shane vs. Fedor

- Start date
120 - 97 Gorst.
There's a reason I don't gamble though

Idk Fedor seems to like to bet his own.
Heard he was buying himself and not splitting it in the Buffalo's Calcutta's. That's the better part of 50k right there.
Did you watch any of the world champs?? didn't look to uncomfortable to me. lost an early match and stormed back to beat a brutal field.
Why all the negativity? Finally a great matchup of true champions. Many of these comments have decreased my enthusiasm to watch this ... but I will anyway. Anyone who likes or is interested in pool will learn about professional pool players and the game we love. The commentary should be in depth as it will be a most important part of the show.

Action tables? All eight tables are 4 1/4 blue label Diamonds
They have another large room full of assorted 7' Diamonds.
I would tell myself I don't gamble. I bet. Realistically after only a few single game encounters on the toy table over the last 20 years, I now tell myself I'd rather steal.
In an upstanding superior fashion of course.
Agreed, do you know who is commenting?
Agreed. Even if they are only playing for the jelly that would come from their backers and each are getting a piece of the pay per view, they'll likely give a full effort, which should make the match worth watching.
For me personally, I've never enjoyed these long races and I think they test things other than pool excellence, but for those who enjoy these marathons, it should be a treat.
May the best man win!

Agreed, I remember the race to 120 in Honk Kong several years ago, Earl came into the last day with a seemingly insurmountable lead of 17 games and somehow managed to lose with a spectacular effort from Efren. But by and large these marathon races are not my cup of tea.
Like you said, may the best man win!
Great view of this Stu.
Money aside, I feel that this could be a swan song of sorts. In my opinion both of these amazing talents are jockeying for position. Shane and Fedor have been struggling recently but have also had some great events recently. For American players this may constitute the changing of the guards.
I for one feel like Shane is going to use his strength (long races) in hopes that he can hang on to his glory days. Fedor will be trying to gain that ground. Personally I feel we are the winners.
Play ball!
Yes they do, but who considers 7’ tables “Action Tables”
I seriously doubt they will be playing on the bar box

There are lots of small table experts. I grew up on 9' tables but the last 5 or 6 years I've played almost extensively on bar-boxes. Distance and speed gets you on the 9 footers but congestion and speed gets you on the little tables, pick your poison.

I'll be watching, and by that, I mean I'll be watching the comments sporadically on the official thread because I am not tuning in for this.
Props to everyone who will be supporting this via ppv buys, but yeah, these long boring sets do not work for me.

Earl was ahead by 7 at the end of Day 2, 70-63. His 17-game lead came 58 games later, at 104-87. Then came Efren's comeback, winning it 120-117.

Yes I did, and I watched him at Buffalo's. Both I would describe as extreme grinds for him, not his usual game.
