Did you guys see that little move where he called push and kicked at the one? (he had the cue ball frozen on the short rail and the 7 ball was right on top of it). I don't understand it
He didn't have a good push to be sure. But instead of kicking straight away, he called a push shot beforehand. Maybe to protect himself against missing the kick (it was sort of easy kick)?
He hit the 1 ball and sent it up table, but Dennis had the option.
