Nice stream, but the commentators NEVER stop talking. I don't know what they're saying but I think they're trying to impress their audience. It's way too much talk! A sure sign of amateurs in the booth.
yes the audience seems pretty large... surprising.Villamor leads 4-1 and breaks.
(On the side of the table below the Diamond logo is "KNIGHT SHOT." Anyone know what that's about?)
V. makes the wing ball (3) and brings the 1 up the table for position. Tough rack to run ... finesse for the two and he bumps the 5 into the open while getting a shot on the 4. Misses a long shot on the 5 but leaves a pretty thin cut.
Efren makes the cut and faces an easy table. Three stop shots and he's out. A big cheer from the fairly large crowd. (Or at least the sections on camera are full.)
V. leads 5-2 and breaks.
(The production values of the stream seem pretty good. I assume that it is being broadcast live on local/area TV. Other players on the tables include Peach(?) and Bustamante. The huge scoreboard at the end of the arena says 19:40 -- 7:40 PM. I guess V. is taking a break and Efren is chomping at the bit, ready to go. The arena is surrounded by a railing with big WC9B graphics and all the sponsors in a band at the top.)
V. finally breaks and makes three balls. Misses a long shot on the 3 to start and Efren starts easy on an easy rack. He under draws from the 8 and leaves long on the 9 but slices it in with a little rattle. The crowd cheers. Efren trails 5-3.
