SVB vs. Nick the Greek, starts in 5 minutes. Free stream.

[iba7467]

Shane makes thin cut on 2 in the side and moves 5 other balls. Gets hooked on the 3 and gives up bih.

Nikos runs to the 6 and misses it by 2 inches hitting the 9 ball whcih ties up the 7. Pockets are buckets or it would have went. Leaves Shane tough. Shane out. 24-9.

Nikos wins one 24-10.

Go Shane

It is a race to 50 so I will wait a bit before I do my end zone dance.

24-11 .....

 

[Treyf123]

24-13......

Shane got too thin on a side pocket shot so he plays it in the corner and floats across
the table to get above the 7 instead of below it.
This time he's too straight so he just casually smacks it with about 13 feet of force follow
to get on the 8 and get out.

25-13 shane and he's on track to hit 26.

One of the guys at the bar just kind of raised his hands like 'wtf man'.

 

[Houstoer]

27-13..wow; svb is ripping it up... sweet..

 

[Nullus]

SVB doing well so far at 27-13. I know he's on foreign soil and all, but icy crowd given that they're watching the top player in the world. You'd hope more than one person would applaud when he makes a nice runout.

 

[BasementDweller]

There're starting to clap now.

Someone is getting HorseF#$K3d! on the other side of the pond!

28 - 14 ...

 

[CreeDo]

Almost 1400 viewers. The stream just broke apparently though.
I got a black screen.

The crowd's like a bunch of guys waiting at the dentist's office.
They must have all bet on their local hero.
I think a few of them have left early to beat the traffic.

28-13 but hey, Nick got one!
He is inspecting his own rack super carefully, as if his break isn't working
like Shane's because he forgot to close up the gaps.

I feel for him because he hits hard, the cue ball hops, it bounces straight pack.
Like perfectly straight. His break looks almost more mechanically perfect and clean
than Shane's, who gets his cue ball kissed around a lot.
Yet Nick's 2nd row ball is just a hair low, the 4 railer is a hair long,
nothing quite finds the hole. Whereas something always does when Shane hits em.

Shane just made 5 on the break. Broke and ran in 30 seconds. Is he flying back tonight?

 

[RFranklin]

Domination

Holy crap, rack 44 5 made. seriously?

 

[Nullus]

Eko is playing well. SVB is on top of his game however, and the ease with which he's playing shape right now, is incredibly fun to watch.

Someone is getting HorseF#$K3d! on the other side of the pond!

Or, as I say, "Shane van Boner'd".

He's totally relaxed, playing very smooth & precise, ratcheting up the power when needed. Just pulled off a very nice force-follow on the five.

Maybe it was just a matter of getting past travel fatigue/jet lag.

Wow... I just looked away to type this and I'm pretty sure I missed him dropping 5 balls on the break.

Not only five on the break, but how would you like this shot on the one to start?

 

[RFranklin]

buckets

not to stir the pot but I think the million dollar challenge would have paid out several times if SVB had tables like this in 9 ball.

 

[takeitdown]

This game is just too easy for top talent.
He can spot you whatever you want...how do you keep him off the table unless you play his speed? 14-31
He has shot almost every 10 ball in te bottom left corner..this one went in the right, only thing to change.
Nobody is gonna beat him like this.

 

[takeitdown]

Kicked in on break.
Comoe on NiKos, break and run 15!

 

[beetle]

Not only five on the break, but how would you like this shot on the one to start?

I'd probably find a way to mess that up.
