don't invite scandinavians or finns to the commentary booth. we are taciturn even in our own languages

Just have free vodka in the booth. That'll loosen 'em up!

Boyes up 6-1 in his match. What a great "retirement" for him! Still gets to play major tournaments with no expectation of winning because hey, he's not even supposed to be there! All house money for him.

I just realized that SVB is using a break cue...lol.

Sponsors need more sales...?

Yeah - I wonder why he switched to the hard break. Maybe because he scratched in the upper corner once on that break, and got a speed warning from the ref on another. But I think the layouts he's getting off of his hard break aren't as easy looking as what he was getting on his softer break. And he seems to always be going near the side pocket with his hard break -- he just scratched off his last break.

Yeah, Karl's renaissance as a player is a nice story for sure.

wow, old man Darren slowing tempo and outgrinding Filler. Now leads 7-5. Break and open table and will be 8-5 soon
We could be looking at early exit of another top favorite
