They are taking a break so that the table can be cleaned. Gabe is running away with this and there isn't much Hohmann can do. Hohmann hasn't had a look at a ball in three racks and Gabe has been making the runs look easy.
Jeremy Jones was in the booth earlier in the match and made a comment that Gabe was probably his best friend. Looks like Jeremy will be able to hand the title off to his buddy after this one.
