Sad ending to the Kaci vs Al-Shaheen match when Omar moved the nine as he pocketed the five ball --- the matched looked like it would go double hill. That said, the match was well played. Omar had a bad miss on the eight ball with a chance to go up 9-6 and Kaci's play from that point on was super-human. In particular, the rack Kaci ran to tie it at 8-8 was about as difficult as it gets, including breaking out the clustered nine ball and playing eighteen feet from the four to the five. Well played!
Kaci looks like a man in stroke to me, and he'll be a tough out for anyone unlucky enough to draw him.
