US Open 9-ball updates thread..

[spartan]

Awesome. Long overdue for pool nation like UK to have its own new event added. More importantly, Matchroom/Emily is talking about full calendar of events, ranking points in other words- a proper pool world tour

Emily stated that she's trying to grow 9 Ball in the UK. Sounds right given how many top players hail from Europe at the moment.

I heard Corey had his cues/luggage stolen in Vegas so I wonder if he’s playing with unfamiliar equipment?

At one point he did change cues during the match.

Pool is looking pretty in Pink!

Just got the e-mail from Matchroom. They are adding the UK Pool Open in May next year. Guaranteed $200,000 purse, open to 256 players with an entry of only $250. Sounds like a winner to me. Thanks again to Matchroom for leading the way and Predator for their new events. A true Pro Pool Tour is looking more and more like a reality. A pool player (or players) might actually make over 200K in a year playing pool, something that has rarely been done, except for the one year of the IPT.

Ralph leads Tin Man 4-2

Who is Mickey Krause who just beat Billy Thorpe?

Young talented player from Denmark. If my memory serves me well he had gold and other medals at the European championships for youth where all the talents from Europe usually gain the experience and improve as the players. And competition over there is pretty tough. That's a "school" which served really well for so many talents here in Europe.
He's young so his best achievements are hopefully onwards.

1-1 Earl’s playing now

Somone tell Yates I will lay 100-1 against Trump winning this tournament. He can bet $100 to win $10,000! He has to post though.

I'll lay out $50 at 100-1 Jay.

Judd played some decent pool to get up to 4-1 against his Fargo 733 opponent.

Trump has a good 9b break

Enough of Trump every fucking day on the stream. Matchroom is trash.

I'll lay out $50 at 100-1 Jay.

Is your name Yates? He has now gone one round further so I will give you 50-1 on $50 at this point in the tournament. Must confirm by 10:30 PST!

6-3 Judd. His opponent started to struggle. It's not perfect pool, but it may just come down to Judd not being as phased by the crowd and cameras.

I'm the one who will be sweating if he wins his next match - Jayson Shaw!

If Trump plays like he is now, Shaw will cruise to 11 IMO.

Obviously a business decision and a good one at that, they are trying to sell a product and maximize revenue, is that not good for the game?

It's how AZB rolls. It's how a lot of pool in USA rolls.

Ralph up 8-5 over Tin Man.

Trump received more gifts in this match than gifts from fans all year.
