WORLD POOL (nineball) CHAMPIONSHIP (6-10 April2022), UK, Winner $60K

[PoolBum]

This is a heavyweight title fight between Filler and Ouschan. Great stuff.

 

[BeiberLvr]

I think I'm slowly becoming in favor of no jump cues in these major events.

These guys just don't miss with them.

 

[skogstokig]

That dude bugs me. He seems a little too awkward and off for my liking.

i get what you mean. weird stance and he is a bit finicky. but he gets it done obviously, kudos to him

 

[PoolBum]

After a shaky start and being down 4-0, just a dominant and virtually flawless performance by Ouschan winning 11 of the next 13 games to take down Filler 11-6. This guy is a beast.

rooting for filler but gotta hand it to albin. great match from both. two misses between them, i think. filler's was a combo

 

[spartan]

wow, Albin is a machine, no nerves, great tactician and a closer.
After trailing Filler 0-4, he knocks out Filler 11-6 and is through to semis. I think he has Filler's number over past couple of years

Quite a comeback from Albin after losing early in the World 10 Ball.

It's worth noting that Filler led Albin 4-0 in the race to 7 final at the Premier League Pool event earlier this year. In each case, Albin came storming back with phenomenal play. Well done!

This kid Oliver Szolnoki is entertaining unconventional player. Was down 1-5 now leads Kazakis 9-7 . Was giantkiller last year knocking out SVB, FSR

i don't know if the triangle made that much difference really, the best guys makes several balls on every breaks it seems. would like to see the stats on that.

tighter pockets, please.

Yup, the break is only a little harder, but then again, we're watching the best breakers and I think the lesser breakers will be more than challenged.

Lol

When you lift the ball a half millimeter for a half second with your hand on the slate, it's not doing all that exaggerated stuff you mentioned.

Lol

Unless, unless, unless

Quite a comeback from Albin after losing early in the World 10 Ball.

Albin forte is more 9b than 10b, I don't recall him winning big 10 ball events. But again to be fair, there were few big international 10b events (9ft) until couple of years ago when CSI/Predator started theirs. The biggest 10b event pre-CSI Predator was an event few heard off- The All Japan

Anyone know what size pockets they are using? I'm assuming 4.25?

 

[Mich]

Kazakis getting gifts galore from Ref power racking!

 

[Taxi]

Meanwhile Kazakis is now at hill-hill after a golden break and a 3-9 combo.

 

[Mich]

The 9 headed dead for corner in last three breaks!

 

[skip100]

Great sportsmanship from Szolnoki applauding Kazakis' carom pocket on the 8.

 

[skip100]

Hard working, nail biting final rack. Great finish by Kazakis.

The 9 headed dead for corner in last three breaks!

Gifts from the ref who was also fingering the balls after removing the triangle. I was open minded about the format until I saw that. I’m not accusing anyone of cheating but it is was human error on the ref that let it happen.
