Race to 24 played in 3 day race to 8 day 1 and 16, day 2 with $10K in the middle, ends today. Starts at 5 p.m. Houston time. Available at poolactiontv.com.
I've watched both days. I don't really know much about one pocket, but it is fascinating to watch. Evan is a great shotmaker and his banks are very accurate. He looks like the more experienced one pocket player. Roberto is, well, Roberto, a real monster who maybe doesn't quite have Evan's one pocket skills but is god-like in everything else.
Yesterday Evan jumped out to a 4 game lead, but Roberto came back and won 5 in a row. I really have to respect both player's professional demeanor at the table. They are respectful to each other and there is very little chatter. Evan has superior banking skills while Roberto has the shotmaking and position play edge. JJ is impressive in his shot calling and one pocket knowledge, the stream is great.
While it's moving along a little slow, I'm really enjoying it. I have money on Roberto - still no idea who's going to win.
