WPBA Masters 2014

Ga Young Kim takes it in a thriller! One thing I have never seen is balls on every single break. One break in a semi final had 5 balls go down. There was no dry breaks in any semi or final match. Mitch & Ewa did a great job commenting, it made for a nice way to spend a snowy afternoon in the rust belt!

Yes! Back to back winner. Missed most of her second set with Jasmin and everything after due to work.hope I can watch the replays.
 
Ga Young wins the Tiebreaker and if my memory is correct, her record in tiebreakers is 80% or so. She owned Mohegan Sun.
 
In their 3 sets GYK beat Jasmin 17-0-Yikes!

GYK must be an absolute nightmare to Jasmin, she ran over her like she was not even there. I now she has given Jasmin big problems in the past but this time it was unbelievable! I have no idea how or if Jasmin can overcome such a beating.
 
So I just watched the final, and wow, what a nail biter! This Masters format for the semis and final really makes for some exciting pool. Both players made mistakes that cost them, and they also both got a few unlucky rolls.

Congrats to Ga Young, the back to back Champ, and my future wife (I wish).
 
Outside the US

spells success? Women's pool started dying 10 years ago and hasnt had an uptick since. Period. I love Women's pool but it appears to be over for the time being.

There are actually some women playing pool outside the US.

Pool may not be on the upswing here, but it certainly is around the rest of the world.

Just because only a few American men or women can compete on the world stage doesn't mean pool is dying...
