I'm confused by illegal break rules. I thought 3 balls had to cross the baulkline or be potted? In frame 3, three balls cross the line but it's called illegal. Also, I'm curious about breaking strategy in this game. From what I've seen the players don't tend to smash the pack with the same power as in 9-ball. Gareth Potts' cue doesn't even flirt with the bending in his notorious style! Is it just that there's less chance of potting a ball of the break, so it's a disadvantage to leave them too spread?
Thank you Ruliang and Chris, On and on ...

It's because it's 4 balls had to cross the baulk line of potted.
Great performance by Zhao.
