Turning Stone XXV Day 3 Update Thread

I absolutely saw that. There was some frustration on that final rack, a little back-and-forth between Hunter and Decahine during the racking process.

That hand shake tells a lot. Nice catch to be right there with the video.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that every complaint/fight about bad racks seems to happen when Mike is playing. That guy just doesn't get any breaks does he ;)
 
Mike accepted a bad rack from big Ko at like 6 to 2 up...it broke like crap...almost cost him that set. That's the truth.

Dominguez just rejected Cheng ' s rack. Said, "I'm sorry, the __ ball is off." That's how it should be done. He and Cheng discussed where 1 would be placed on spot ar beginning of match....professionals.

Last year Shaw berated Mike the whole set about racks....was way out of line. I like both players and favor Shaw, buy it was not right what he did.

There's been no racking wars as I have seen to speak of. Stream table yesterday was racking poorly. Even Shaw took awhile to get a rack.

Conditions change and wear on the racking areas males it tough. All part of the game.
 
Mike shook his hand and Hunter held on as Mike tried to walk away. Not sure why Mike is the bad guy there?

It was hard to tell who was the aggressor or in the wrong here. I agree that it is wrong to lay the blame with Mike here.
 
Yeah, there's NEVER any kind of "fighting"/poor sportsmanship in the big mainstream sports! Who are you kidding? I agree it was a bad move by Mike D, but please don't make more of it than it is...a sore loser.

Terrible - no way Hunter deserved that.
If pool were a big mainstream sport Mike could never get away with it..
If a tennis player did that after a match it would be headline news.

But people are getting caught more and more ...cameras everywhere
 
Rodney vs Oscar quarterfinal, because it has the only two remaining Americans in the field, will determine who has the early lead in the 2016 Mosconi points race.
 
Three of the last four are players from the Mezz West Tour. Mika plays occasionally and has won an event or two.

Props to the Mezz West Tour!

Safe bet that Mika has played way more Joss events than Mezz events, and played a few in 2015.
