Filler vs. Ruiz next round should be a great match.

Shane's about to go up 9-2 it looks like.

 

[sjm]

Shane up 7-2 and at the table.

Big match. Want US to have more players in the final 16 than Poland, which looks like they will have two in Fortunski and Kaplan. We've already got Sossei and Woodward. Go Shane!

Once every 4 racks or so, I still get tripped up by the purple 5.

The Filler v Oi match is shaping up to be quite competitive.

Thrilling end to Chris Melling-Omar match
On the hill 10-9, Omar miss this 9 ball.
Melling takes rack to go hill hill

Melling breaks open table but miss straight 3 ball. Omar takes the rack and the win potting similar 9 ball as last rack

Shane on the hill 10-4. He made a great long shot on what looked like the 1 ball with the cue on the rail. The cue caromed into the 2 ball and knocked it up table. Shane played a good safety on the 2, leaving distance and a snooker. The camera cut out and when it came back Shane had ball in hand on the 2.

Shane through to the final 16 11-4

The player that is on to the last 16 of whom I know almost nothing is Oliver Szolnoki; Can any of our European posters offer some info about him?

Shaw just made comment that Szolnoki sparred and won some short games against Shane in Romania last week.

Not sure thing yet. Filler is not lying when he said he is playing below his best in his interview.
Oi is breaking well so Filler is shaky now

Japan, Japan, Japan...Oi, Oi, Oi

I have faith in young Joshua. He'll find a way.

 

[PoolBum]

I guess Leyman said something to Oi because there are still other matches going on.

 

[sjm]

Huge roll for Oi in rack 15 and he now leads 9-6. In fairness, Oi is making everything in sight. This is a very strong performance. Filler will have to dig deep to get ut of this mess.

 

[PoolBum]

Apparently Leyman said something about Oi's break being too soft. It doesn't seem to me that either player has been breaking soft.

 

[JusticeNJ]

I guess Leyman said something to Oi because there are still other matches going on.

I will never forget the day I walked by the television when Sex and the City was on during some funeral scene, and Leyman and a few friends were clearly visible in the background as extras.

Oi fluked 1 ball runs out for 9-6 lead.
Oi on verge of big upset over Filler

Yes, but is he a force on Eurotour or is this just a Cinderella run? What are his career highlights?

Oi Oi... on the hill 10-6

Not top Euro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivér_Szolnoki
But like tonnes of these Euros they could be just below radar and waiting for breakout moment.
He ran a 5 pack against his opponent just now. 5 pack would be big in other tournaments but less so in this event
