Pat Fleming cameo in the background - everyone take a shot and buy a DVD

Bet365 go:
Shaw 4/9 / 1.44 / -225
Trump 13/8 / 2.63 / 163

If you think it's certain then 4/9 is a cracking price. How much are you going to put on?

i bet enough to cover the streaming cost and a nice steak dinner. looking good right now

Jeremy Jones just said that Earl is playing with a 16mm shaft lol

low deflection ?

 

[JusticeNJ]

No way an Englishman could go down 11-0 to a Scotsman, so Judd pulls one over to make it 9-1.

 

[BeiberLvr]

Judd taking it in stride, and gives off a big smile as the crowd cheers his first win of the match.

 

[JusticeNJ]

low deflection ?

Shit, just make the shaft 2.25" inches so you can only hit center ball.

 

[skogstokig]

11-1 shaw takes it down.

 

[JusticeNJ]

Earl wins his match.

An interesting matchup between Oi and Denis Grabe is up on a non streamed table.

 

[skogstokig]

"new" spaniard delgado looking promising, beating atencio 11-2. delgado won against danny olsen and badar alawahdi before. i had never heard of him.

Jeremy Jones just said that Earl is playing with a 16mm shaft lol

Seems like he is playing with a standard 58 inch cue rather than his 70 inch javelin

Earl wins his match.

Grabe up 5-0. It's been 20 mins. Sounds like Denis ain't messing around.

Looks like Yapp's going to send Filler to a loser side leading 10:4. If so Filler vs Strickland is a possible match for staying alive.

My guess is that this is a honeing exercise for Trump. Going into the real Money events it's good to know humility.

 

[marikian]

Dennis O is playing fast and loose.

 

[gxman]

Are they switching to ta wooden rack later?

 

[BeiberLvr]

Appleton up 7-1 against Kaci

 

[rexus31]

Are they switching to ta wooden rack later?

Round of Final 16 to the end, I believe.

But we're unlike most other sports -- you can only compare us to other sports where the prize money is as low.

In pool you need the dead money if you're shooting for a high number of entries. It's that simple.

Lou Figueroa

That won’t matter when “The Hancock” gets underway.

Everyone will be saying “the open what??!”


It’ll take a true champion to win “The Hancock Cup”

Real money events

Somebody would have to win this event 14 times to equal what Trump won in 1 event playing Snooker.

 

[one stroke]

Improbable for sure, but Trump winning vs Shaw would be great for pool...

Why

7-0. To be fair to Judd, Shaw is playing 800+ Fargo pool right now. Which of course includes severely punishing opponents mistakes.

My guess is that this is a honeing exercise for Trump. Going into the real Money events it's good to know humility.

lol now that's funny , As I said earlier he had no chance playing upper tier players but has a great skill set , put him with Chip Klein for a yr his game would jump way up zero doubt,
He might be here for just for the challenge but my guess he's getting paid to be here ,to help promote rotation pool in the U.K. for Match Room as their putting on events like the U.K. Open next yr , that's why he's been on the TV table so often ,
