Doung brought it at the end
tremendous

The Youtube feed cuts out with Oscar up 8-4, Doung came back? What was the final score?

10-7 I think

I really hope Oscar wins this tournament.

Anyone know why Skyler, Shane Wolford and Billy Thorpe didn't enter?

A commentator said Skyler has another baby on the way, so he stayed home.

Matchroom messed up giving Skyler a free ticket to Mosconi.

It looks like all 3 of them are in the field for the UK Open this coming week.

A win in the final for Oscar would go a long way to securing his Mosconi spot. In the World of Matchroom, each dollar won is equal to a ranking point. A British pound is worth about $1.25 these days, so a 10,000 pounds win would Oscar him 12,500 ranking points.

As The Beach Boys said, "wouldn't it be nice?"

SJM … my first concert ever! Beach boys ! When I was a kid !

Comeback king Duong does it again. Down 4-8 to Oscar, wins next 6 to win 10-8
Really strong clutch game
Loser round 5 match Down 5-7 to Biado, comeback win 8-7
Loser qualification match Down 2-7 to FSR, comeback win 10-7
Last 16 Down 1-6 to Tyler, comeback win 10-7
Semifinal Down 7-9 to Ko Pin Yi, comeback win 10-9
Final Down 4-8 to Oscar, comeback win 10-8
(Only "easy" match in single elimination was 10-5 win over Kaci in quarterfinals)

Consolation for Oscar is he jumps to #3 in race for Mosconi Cup just below Tyler

Full match but with Vietnamese commentary

 

[skogstokig]

i also assumed oscar won. that's crazy. the martian should buy a lottery ticket, he was down and out many times in this tournament

Probably the best thing for our sport is if Vietnam dominates.

Probably the best thing for our sport is if Vietnam dominates.

That Veitnemese channel posted had ~45k viewers, while matchrooms had ~5k near the beginning of the final when I looked. That's pretty telling of their involvement/investment.

How are the Vietnamese doing on a world scale in carom billiard sports? Every time I visit a Vietnamese owned room in the USA, the more serious players are on the carom tables.

the current world champion is vietnamese. i think he was their first though

That missed combo down the rail probably ate at Oscar. Immediately after the match he set it up and played safe instead. But all in all a good result for him and impressive comeback by Duong.

I would be madder at myself for overshooting the cue when he tried to hide it behind the 7... damn a combo ha
