US Open Finals - Mika VS Ralf

Game #2

Ralf plays a poor safe on the 1ball. Leaves it open. Mika misses a gimmie. Ralf runs to the 6 ball and hangs a thin cut. Mika pockets the 6/7 and combos the 9 in.

1-1
 
Game #3

Mika breaks and is running clean. The four ball is sitting tough, but he gets on it nicely. He cuts it in and goes 3 rails perfectly for the the 6-ball. Hes out from here with a routine run.

First break and run of the match.

2-1 Mika
 
Game #4

Mika breaks, but doesnt get a good shot on the 1ball. Plays the bank and sells out.

Ralf snookers himself on the 2ball. Hes attempting to jump, but he's too short and is taking FOREVER. lol

Ralf opts to kick instead, and misses it. Not a good shot at all, especially considering the layout.

Mika has a tough situation, even with ball in hand. He plays it nicely but gets bad on the 7ball. He leaves himself a half blind pocket for the 8ball. He makes it anyway and runs out.

3-1 Mika

Mika gets an unlucky roll and gets hooked solid behind the 9ball. He attempts a full cue jump and misses, leaving the 2ball in the pocket.

Ralf does what he does best and runs out a clean rack.

Game #7.

Mika's playing a little wild here. He's also not playing as fast as he usually does. He gets funny on the 5ball and plays a lock-up safety, freezing the cue ball to the 9ball. Ralf faces a tough escape here.

Ralf's looking at a two-rail escape....and narrowly misses. Once again Mika gets ball in hand. I think this is Mika's 3rd ball in hand already this set.

Mika misses a hanger by a MILE!!!!!!!! Oh my....the most routine out and he misses the easiest ball on the table.

Ralf runs out.

4-3 Mika

Game #8

Mika is smiling, but I guarantee he's steaming inside after throwing away that last rack. It was the worst miss I've seen in.....ever.

Ralf is breaking to tie it up.

Ralf is cruising along, looking like he's about to tie the match.

It's tied.

4-4

Game #9

Ralf breaks and if faced with a tricky shot on the 1ball. He makes a perfect shot, getting perfectly in line for the rest of the rack. I'm predicting he's out here.

Eugh, Ralf hits a sloppy shot getting to the 7ball, but he's fine. He's definitely out from here.

(Mika is paying DEARLY for that horrible miss earlier)

5-4 Ralf

Game #10

Ralf is breaking to increase his lead by 2.

(Yes a race to 13, single elimination)

Ralf breaks dry, leaving Mika with a bank shot. Cross side. Its far from easy. Mika misses the bank, but leaves Ralf tough.

I left for 5 minutes to get a drink, came back and Ralf hadn't shot yet. lol

Anyway, Ralf misses and leaves Mika a tough cut where he needs to go 5234 rails to get position on the 2 ball. Mika makes the ball but runs into traffic. He's left with a VERY tough shot on the 2ball with no guarantee to the 3ball.

Mika opts to play safe.

thanks for the updates! i purchased the ppv, but im not sure if its just me but i lagged horribly.
 
Note: Im editing these posts, so keep refreshing if you want play by play without waiting whole racks.

And no, the PPV isnt lagging at all. It must be your connection. Mines flawless.
 
Game #10 (part 2)

Ralf gets out the jump cue. I bet Mika's pissed. lol

This is a defensive jump. He leaves a shot for Mika with tough position. Mika makes it. He then proceeds to make an amazing positional shot from the 3ball to the 4ball. He should be out here to tie it.


.......but he misses. Mika isnt shooting well at all.

Ralf is out. 4 wins in a row.

6-4 Ralf
