What other option did Shane had besides the 2-6 combo?

Was the long bank to the top right corner pocket on?

Any safety options?

What's the percentages on that combo? 30%? 50%?

Maybe bank the 2 into the short rail and back up table between the 6 and 9 while sticking the cue ball on top of the 4.
 
Contrary to what the interviewer just said, quite a few players have won this event from the losers' side. (He said only 1 time before.)

I shouted at my phone when he said that.
How can they be that unprepared for a stat?

Also, why even bring up the double elimination statistic when it is completely different format this year?
Comparing Filler possibly winning this US Open w 1 loss to the others who have won the past US Opens from the 1 loss side is not logical.
 
These guys are clueless, when they said Siming Chen was an upset to beat Mitch Ellerman, I was done. He was a 3 game plus underdog in that match if you wanted to bet.

It was such a crazy statement I had to think how can he be so wrong and where did he get that info?
Only thing I can think is maybe he meant to say only Mika Immonen had won more matches after going to the losers side to reach the final.
But this is a different format so really not worth confusing the viewers.

Let’s not do this. It’s ethically wrong and legally questionable, we supposed “supporters of pool” on AZB can find the links on our own if we can’t pay the $20, but let’s not use AZB to spread the links to everyone.

We’ll post the link to pay the $20.
It’s not easy to find.

The change in format didn't really bother me (with regard to his statement), as we'll still have a winner who either went undefeated or had a loss. But what did bother me was giving Filler false information that could affect his mental state going into the final. ("Gee, only 1 guy in 42 years managed to win this with a loss; can I really do that?")

And Filler lost after 3 wins, so he only played two more matches than someone who was undefeated like Shaw.

That was an aspect I hadn't thought of. The format change to me was what lead the interview out of context because he was asking him what he did to correct things after his loss...while defeating players who don't get that chance (like Sanchez-Ruiz, DeLuna, Shaw).
