What a great match by TinMan here. I've seen world class players throw in the towel in similar circumstances, but one of AZ's best kept grinding and got himself back in the match against possibly the world's best player! I had to stop my phone and tell my son about this match. Of course, he pretended like he cared ;) Sort of felt like knowing a celebrity here.

 
I was so impressed. Down 5-0 and the guy is jumping shots in full table (after a beautiful mult-rail safe) with a break cue on you. It would be so easy to get demoralized here, but Demetrius showed all the heart in the world. When it got to 7-6, the look on Fedor's face and his body language were as close as I've seen him to showing tilt in recent memory. Great job, TinMan. I am a fan.

I'm a fan of both. One character thing that jumped out at me for Fedor was -- Demi fired in a ball and Fedor instinctively knew he was sitting right in the shot line for the next shot, so he got up and walked over to the other seat. Not too many pros would take that extra step, and this was when Demi was on the comeback trail. There are quite a few players that aren't even sure to sit still in that situation. There's literally zero not to like about Fedor!
 
I watched it live starting from about 4-0 or 5-0. I was watching it on the main stream though, with the camera overhead. It looks like this was a stream set up by Fedor with his own camera? Anyway, on the main stream I'm 95% sure the score was tied at 7-7, as they were scoring it on the iPads by each table, which was feeding the live scores that I was checking. Then, Fedor made two super quick 9 ball combos in a row to win 9-7.

yeah, Fedor is trying to grow his YouTube channel and is streaming all of his matches.
 
Thanks gang.
It’s a tough one. I was really tight early and dug too deep of a hole to have much of a shot. Sometimes that relieves the pressure and I kind of got in stroke. Felt pretty good and was pleased with how I played after that. It stings to miss that combo because if it goes 7-7 with me on a multi rack run then it would’ve been a great opportunity for a big win and a good run in this event.

Instead I failed to put it down and didn’t shoot again. I won my match today to get into the money but now have to play my road partner. Second time in a row I play my partner first match in the money in the B side. So I’m feeling pretty bummed right now. I just haven’t run very good at this event, things haven’t worked out well. But that’s pool. I’ll keep swinging. 👍
 
No reason to hang your head,you are there grinding it out with some of the best in the game. It does suck that you have to play your buddy next round. Dig down and finish strong! Good luck

My friend, it is much harder to do what you did than frontrun. You have a ton to be proud of in that match.
