Stu -- I just posted this in another thread:
Stalev's run was 224, not 225 or 226.
Yes, he started at a score of (-1), and his opponent also was at (-1).
Then he ran 10 full racks (140 points) plus 11 balls from the 11th rack for the "151 and out" that gave him the game score of 150 - (-1).
He continued, running the remaining 3 balls from the 11th rack plus 5 more full racks, i.e., an additional 73 balls.
Total run: 151 + 73 = 224.
Or, just view it as 16 full racks at 14 balls each = 224. He missed the break shot for the 17th rack.
Damn. I was hoping to see Hohmann go further. Thanks.

Quite right, he ran exactly sixteen racks. I only posted based on the announcement. In my mind, however, the run was 151. The rest was practice. Once a miss carries no consequences, the rest of the run is practice.
I think people were intrigued when Stalev noted that 151 was his personal best.
Stu:
I thanked AtLarge for his corrections in the other threads/posts. We (the folks reporting Evgeny's run) were just excited to see a run of this caliber, and so never checked the commentators' (Mikey Fingers' and Shaun Wilkie's) math. Good to see someone on his toes, math-wise.
As to the bolded part above, I thought I heard the commentators say they were going to allow Evgeny to continue (after he reached 151 and shook Mike Davis' hand), to 1.) continue his personal best, and 2.) go for the high run of the tournament?
We know the former is true, obviously, because even John Schmidt starting racking for Evgeny. But what about the latter? Will Evgeny's 224 stand as the high run of the tournament, if noone eclipses it in the coming matches?
-Sean <-- hopes to see another run of this caliber. Will be down there onsite for the Finals tomorrow, and looks forward to meeting everyone!
