8-ball is interesting when you play last pocket and intentional fouls are allowed.8-ball is more interesting than 9-ball.
They're getting ready nowAnybody knows what time the finals start? I’m asking in behalf of all the SoCal members…
I bet Chezka didn't want to win the final rack like that, but she'll definitely take it. It was very reminiscent of last year when she was running out for the World 8-ball title only to blunder on the hill, and Jasmin coming back to snatch it away from her. But lady luck was definitely on Chezka's side this year.
Chezka is a 3x World Champion. She has now cemented herself as one of the all-time greats. With her talent we could always argue that she could be even better, but c'mon now. She has the same number of World titles as Kelly Fisher, GY Kim, Han Yu, Liu Sasha, and Rublien Amit (all have 3). Only Allison Fisher has more with 4.

The question really was whether the CB hit the rail or stopped short of it after contacting the 6 ball. I'm glad they did a video review instead of relying only on the ref's judgment (which was initially ruled a foul). Very tough break for Kelly Fisher. But she was very gracious in defeat...a real class act.Calling Dr. Dave!
And props to Savannah Easton for such a deep run into the semi-finals. She has so much poise for such a young age. Didn't seem the pressure got to her at all. Very impressed.
I still have no idea why actual pool players think 8 ball is boring.
If the conditions don't make it an absolute break and run fest, then 8 ball is the most enjoyable game to watch for me. The IPT days were absolute peak spectator viewing...IMO. Nothing beats watching Efren weave through a complicated rack of 8 ball.
On the women's side it's ok because there are fewer break and runs and so a little more uncertainty with every shot and decision, more misses, more back-and-forth, and therefore a little more excitement. On the men's side it's still pretty boring.
