Announcers agreed, that last weeks event/travel etc. Wore em down and he showed it.
Attrition....

They do this for a living, travel and playing is not wearing them down

arseni on the main tv table

looks pretty sharp, in a good position to take down svb.

 

[datnodude]

[Poolmanis]

ARSENI!

 

[skogstokig]

looks pretty sharp, in a good position to take down svb.

and he did. that will give him great confidence

 

[Bob Jewett]

ARSENI!

He does like to hit'em hard. Pyramid player?

 

[sudocrushms]

SVB can't be happy with himself after that one.
Good on Arseni finishing the set out. I'd have crapped my pants...

Well, there's a shocker. I wrote last night that Shane looked a bit off/tired.

Arseni has a Fargo of 759 and fared well recently in European 8 ball and 9 ball. Still ...

 

[Poolmanis]

He does like to hit'em hard. Pyramid player?

Yes. Originally. He play all games, lil 3-Cushion too. His best game is Finnish Kaisa. I lost to him on Final on last open 9ball in our club. He played perfect match that took 17 min to me lose 1-9..

 

[jasonlaus]

I thought I heard people saying Shane's gonna win this thing

 

[Poolmanis]

If you practice your shooting with tight oversized 10ft table. You won´t fear 4 inch pockets. Kaisa pockets are 70-72mm and balls 68mm.

Here he makes 137 that is probably highest run Finnish Kaisa ever... game is normally played to 60p

[overlord]

Are taped fingers involved in communicating by sign language?

One guy who still is very sharp after Florida and BotB is Chang Yu Lung. The Taiwanese Typhoon. Won his first match 9-2 and just beat Chris Reinhold 9-3.

Lung plays fast indeed. He's blown through a lot of opponents during his trip to the states.

Like a lot of Asian players, he disappeared from the global pool scene during Covid. Started to play in WNT events somewhat regularly in 2023, but has only showed his true prowess this year.

Just over 40 years old, Change comes across as very confident and always seems to know what he wants to do. Doesn't seem to have any major weaknesses.

Still not sure what to make of his sudden stellar play on the WNT circuit. Need to see more.

 

[Black-Balled]

Island Drive, you changed it to "9/18-23," which is September. The tournament next week is August 18-23 (8/18-23).

there are a couple guys like that. if wu jiaqing or zheng xiaohuai gave WNT a serious go they would likely be in the very top within a few events.

what annoys me with chang yu lung is that he looks the same as 15 years ago, while my hairline in the same time period (and age) has gone full ralf souquet

Arseni got a couple of rolls, but after Shane blew the safety on the 2, Arseni was stellar. He definitely made the most of his opportunity.
