31-22 Shane
Mika pushes out and Shane makes a great shot on the 1 and gets out.
32-22 Shane
32-22 Shane
Mika looked weak as a kitten. Shane must be putting something in his food/drink 
. I never expected to see Mika get so weak so quick. It was like he was giving up and it was only day one. Someone needs to give him a swift kick in the butt!
If it keeps up this way, it will be another SVB blow out! 100-65 or something like that. Alex never looked this way when Shane was smoking him, and what an amazing come back he came up with. Mika should be embarrassed acting and playing this way in front of his home crowd.
This much bally-hooed match by TAR could turn out to be a complete bust if Mika doesn't wake up today. I just hope they got a lot of "buys" already. If it keeps up this way, no one else will want to buy it.

Jay,
I went to bed about 11, right after the break. When you say "act" this way, was Mika crying and whinning? Or just a negative attitude? I agree, if he don't wake up quick Shane might run away with another one...
Check out big trucks thread in the main forum. He took a screen capture from last night that will tell the whole story.
Mika was all over the place... snapping his fingers, talking to himself, hitting the table, the rail, cleaning the rails/table in anger while Shane was racking...he was a mess
Almost seems like it was Mika's 1st pro prize fight. He will get used to the spot light by the 3rd night, which may be too late. We all know he can play, but the ambiance of the match got to him.
Shane did not play great either, he scratched more in this match than in others.
I like the call pocket rule in this match, takes away the luck factor.

Thanks for the response guys....This is a whole different ball game.
In those race to 9 tournaments you get to wipe you slate if you get beat up on or get bad rolls....Here you have to take your medicine and try to play hard when you know you are down 10 games with 25 plus hours till the finish line. I think there is a very small number of players in the world that can stay strong for this long of a race, and only a handful of those can stay strong when getting beat up on. ala Alex P.
Is it just me or is anyone else enjoying watching Mika squirm?

If Mika losses, he will lose bad. And maybe this is a good lesson for him. I think that after the last 2 years when he won pretty much everything that was out there he needed to come down to earth for a moment...or two.
+1 absolutely

I have to disagree with you here Jay, those of us who bet on Shane will want to buy this stream if the match continues down the same road:thumbup::thumbup:

I just wanted to memorialize what may be the first 'non-positive' post I've ever seen by Terry!
BTW, who thinks Mika - when he was often gyrating in his seat regardless of Shane's line of vision - was semi sharking him?
KK9 <-- thinks Mika coulda used a couple mg's of valium last night...
If the match continues like this it draws the conclusion......
Mika=tourney champion
SVB=tourney champion/foot to mikas a$$.....just a joke not to be taken the wrong way

IMO he has tried a handful of sharking attempts. Very early in the night while Shane was running out, he gets out a water bottle and a towel and proceeded to take a mini shower in his chair.
I dont know if it's sharking or he couldnt believe what was going on and thats why he was so restless and agitated.
Anyway, Shane was smiling at different times when he was looking at Mika and was seeing him losing his mind ... class player Shane
