Rack 37:
Shane makes a ball on the break and has a look at the 1. He tries it but misses it badly. If Francisco can roll the 1 in he should be able to get out. Instead he plays safe. SVB kicks at the 1 at warp speed and leaves another cut shot for Busty but on the opposite rail this time. Busty overcuts it. Shane cuts in the 1 but the cue ball is kissed into a tough spot. With the cue ball in the jaws of the pocket and the 2 several diamonds down table, Shane rolls the 2 in!!! An amazing display of talent. He runs the rest of them out.
23-14
You never know. Crazier things have happened.

Not positive since I haven't watched the whole thing. I think I heard Mark say no more than a 3 pack by Busty I believe. Shane's break has been off from what I've seen.
Rack 38:
Shane breaks and is left with what's become a typical thin cut on the 1 ball. He goes for it...makes it....but is not rewarded too much. He's left with a nearly impossible cut into the side pocket that he goes for. he leaves it in front of the side pocket for Busty. Faced with maybe the easiest out of the night he manages to put them all in.
24-14 Busty and he's breaking.
I would have lost money on this match
The first night Busty broke and ended up with a 1-10 combo. What's going to happen tonight?

Rack 39:
Busty makes the 9 on the break and plays safe on the 1. Shane doesn't waste much time with measuring up the kick but hits the 1 square. Busty back cuts the 1 ball in, leaving a long 2 down the rail. He went for the match. He jacked up to try to spear the 2 in and get position on the 3. The shot wasn't even close.
Shane plays safe. Busty kicks and leaves Shane long. Shane misses but the pocket is blocked. Busty elects to tie up the 6 ball. Shane easily breaks up the 6/10 with BIH and runs them out.
24-15
Shane's still fighting.

Rack 40:
Shane makes the 6 and stops the cue ball dead but is left with that same thin cut on the 1 ball. This time he makes it. He then make the 2 but leaves the cue ball in front of the 8. So he jacks up and fires in the 3. He plucks off the rest in typical SVB fashion.
24-16
Still alive and with the break.

Rack 41:
DRY BREAK!
Busty plays safe. Shane has only about 17 balls between the cue ball and the 1 but he manages to hit it. Busty elects to play safe on the 1 instead of going for a thin cut. Shane hits it again. Still no easy shot on the 1 ball. Busty butchers the safe and leaves Shane a shot. He's got a chance to get out . The 6 ball lies tough but it will go into the side. First things first though - Shane's on the wrong side of the 4 ball so he's going to have to hit it firm...he fired it in and overran his position on the 5. He had to play safe on the 5.
I guess Busty had to use the rest room or something because he's nowhere in site.
He returns and kicks the 5 ball leaving it long and straight in for Shane. Shane hits it real good and draws it back for that 6 ball into the side pocket. Still with work to do, Shane pockets a really straight 7 ball and finishes off a very difficult out. WOW!
24-17
couple more racks and things could get real interesting.

Keep fightin' Shane
Rack 42:
Shane makes a ball but doesn't have a shot on the 1. I think he's learning what us mere mortals feel like when we break.
Anyway, he plays an okay safe and Busty plays a very good kick safe in return. Shane has a tough hit...this could be for the match...Shane hits it but leaves it easy and straight in. Could be all she wrote.
Busty makes it interesting. He gets funny on the 2. Then overruns his position on the 5, but gets back in line on the 6. Now just the 7, 8, 9, & 10 for the win.
Busty finishes them off.
Shane concedes 25-17 is the final score.
Francisco played awesome pool.
