SVB vs Hennessee 10 ball

I watched most of it. The turning point was when the cleaning lady first sharked John, where he missed his out ball. Shane then went to shoot at the last ball and he got sharked even worse, and missed. After that, for the next several games, Shane got really visibly upset. The cleaning lady put the vacuum between Shane's feet when he was shooting at another ball. Then later on, Shane was at the table about to shoot, and the cleaning lady got right up close to him again, like right next to him. That was the first time I saw Shane ever lose his cool. When Shane missed a few shots that he would never miss right after that, I knew that Hennessee was gonna take control. Those cleaning ladies were unbelievable! I mean right up in his face, vacuuming between his feet, and I think one of them even asked Shane to MOVE his feet while he was at the table, so she could vacuum there. LOL

The cleaning lady thing all happened in a 2 game span, had nothing to do with the outcome of the match... And yes it happened to both players on key shots... Possibly costing both of them a game...

Shane played almost flawlessly to get 7 ahead early. Then John took over and did the same thing, winning 10/11 games in a row. It was a battle for about 2 more hours. Then they both began to play bad, missing shots that they should not have. I keep laughing because everyone is saying how bad Shane played. Shane should have won the match, he let another great player get into stroke instead of finishing him off. I have seen John put 6 packs on people and even though he isn't worshiped like Shane is, he can play.. I also saw John spot the ghost 3 games going to 9 on a procut Diamond 9 foot and won 9-6... That's strong for anyone... Both players had about an hour of dominance and about 2 hours of average speed for them, then it just got ugly... They both played awful, and were obviously tired.
Alot of people seem to hate Hennessee but that doesn't change the fact that he can get out when given a shot.

JH's break is huge. I think he won because he wanted it the most. Shane could have got to the hill again but fired that ten down the rail and it shot out which he should have made. Maybe they will rematch?

The turning point wasn't Shane losing his cool because of the cleaning ladies... it was lack of sleep and being fatigued. The guy probably hadn't slept two hours since he had been at the DCC. There was one time when he dogged a shot and lucked it in... he slammed his cue on the table and took a break to grab a Red Bull. BigNasty thought that him getting fired up that we were going to see a different Shane, but the fatigue was too much to overcome.

Shane doesn't abuse "nose medication" to help keep his focus after long hours like many other pool players do and I give him props for that. Red Bull just couldn't get him there.

You make a Great point about Shane staying drug free... One of the reasons I like him so much. I seriously doubt John was on anything either, I have seen him play in person many times and have never thought he was on something. Many pool players do use something to get an edge though and that really hurts the image of the game. Grady Mathews was talking about this last month in Starkeville, saying how hard it was for him to compete with the "Gears" of players that used drugs/alcohol during his playing career. It was really interesting to hear a someone who has been around the game so long discuss that topic.
 
The cleaning ladies were just doing their job. If the players were wise, they would've had 10mins break. It wont take too long to vacuum around the table..

svb....shane

Shane was exhausted and it started to show after John won 10 games in a row. Neither of the two players played there best game. Johns heart is very huge I believe that played a large part on who wanted it more. I havent heard if they are rematching or not......

Yeah, that's an accurate assessment. Shane looked like he had it all locked up early. Then when John strung a few racks together and edged out Shane on a few other games during that streak, Shane never seemed to fully recover. Shane kept marching forward, but John kept right up with him. It often looked like Shane was outplaying John, and then you'd look at the score, and they'd still be almost even.

Kept waiting for that little extra gear from Shane, but it never materialized in score. John's break looked much stronger throughout. That seemed to help keep him in the game. Was surprised to see the stats show as much parity with regards to their breaks.

After awhile, it was just a battle of stamina, and Shane was showing kinks in his armor. He definitely started missing shots that he wasn't missing earlier. Conveniently this occurred around the same time as the cleaning lady. Shane never fully recovered.
 
is there any rematch between the 2????? i will bet on Henessey if there's any rematch ...i extra $5 in my pocket lol ..just joking guys
 
The rematch has already happened... John was up 7 going to 10 ahead and he fell apart. Shane eventually won
