US Open 8-Ball

I really enjoyed the stream last night. Yes there were tons of runouts but they definitely weren't all cosmos. I was absolutely blown away by some of them. Ko made one that I would have given anybody only a 4 or 5 percent chance to get out. Also it's kind of an interesting dynamic. They know there is so much pressure to run out everything is heightened. There were times where a safe might have been beneficial but there was no way they were taking the chance of giving up the table. I'd like to see more 8 ball played especially on tough equipment. The stream table was playing a bit easy last night due to newer cloth and the lighting.

I absolutely agree. I would be more than happy to set up most of those run outs and challenge A players to get out.

Add in the pressure and I doubt a lot of people would run most of those racks. That the pros were doing it is a testament to how good they really are.
