Shanghai Masters

[Bamacues]

This is just Round 2 at the Shanghai Masters Snooker event... pic taken 30 minutes before play starts... absolutely packed.

I would love to see kind of turnout for a pool event in the USA... this is great to see...

I would like to see more pool tournaments in China, but it's all Heyball now. In a way, it's a shame.

thanks for the heads up. makes my work day better trump v robbo on now.

this much crowd is unusual for chinese snooker events (minus hongkong of course), they can be quite empty at times. chinese sport culture in general seems to be more TV than live viewing

As much as i don't like it Heyball IS pool. I think its tedious at best but its still a form of pool. We'll never see crowds anything close to this in the US. Pool/snooker seems to be aligned with chinese/asian culture in a way it will never even approach in the states.

Some great snooker being played here…..Ding made his 700th century and Zhang got upset about that…so he ran a 147.

Ding won 6-5…..Zhang was on 43 and brushed a red in the pack to go in-off…..Ding ran out…very high quality match.
