These two gentlemen turn me on. Their strokes are so sweet! I’ve just had one of the greatest pool playing nights of my life. Played out of my skin (for nothing but pride), and played the greatest safety I’ve ever played. Even won me the match 😎 Seeing these two battle it out is the perfect ending to my night 🎱
They wouldn’t let them play as Russians. Which I don’t know if I like that. They had nothing to do about the war and they aren’t going to talk Putin into quitting so they can play pool.
@@brettbarker8444 It's a bit more entangled than you think. If you look up his old matches, he's wearing Gasprom sponsor patches on his t-shirt, the company which is the main source of Putin's war money, so it would be kind of inappropriate to let him promote it. He's lucky they let him as a neutral, it's all fair.
And JJ will be remembered for having the cue ball cleaned rather than doing an easy run out and running out of clock instead . . . Though, to be fair, the official should have told him his click will keep running with precious few seconds to go . . .
They need to actually get to those later rounds first, and if they have the extra time why not use it to more carefully plan and execute certain shots especially if their opponent can do the same?
I absolutely can't stand these new racks. How are they so widely used when they so clearly fuck with the natural flow of the break? Sounds like a top-down decision if I've ever heard of one. Snooker would never allow this nonsense
They assure that all balls are touching so you can’t say the ref was messing with my rack to screw me or helping my opponent by gapping the rack in his favor. Also I use magic racks all the time and they never seem to affect the break in any meaningful way
Yes. I understand that there are good intentions behind the design and implementation, but I'm pretty sure we can solve the same problems in a better way
My guess - somebody paid shit ton of money to sell this particular brand of template. There are much thinner magic racks that don't push balls away but this one is clearly a bad choice.
This match really shows the implications of these new break rules. I personally really like it
I'm curious why Styer didn't shoot the 1-9 into the side on game 3? It looked like it was perfectly lined up.
wouldnt have had a shot on the next
Because the cue ball was too close to the 1 and not frozen, so it would’ve been difficult to avoid a double hit
😂
He did not know that he can win if he pockets the 9 before other balls

I'm with Earl there should be a 20 second shot clock. This is crazy slow. Way to boost viewership
Joe Rogan led me here.
And know we are stuck lol
What a match!
Dear commentators,
This is just a reminder that the “magician” nick name is already taken.
What is that flag by Fedor Gorst name ???
it means hes a neutral athlete
Since Russia attacked Ukraine the russian flag has been removed. If you look at Kristina Tkach you’ll see the same flag.

Dumb political crap.

Chris Melling is *NOT* The Magician. Only *Efren 'Bata' Reyes is "The Magician"* . Create your own unique handle!
Thank you
Agree, I love Chris, wholesome guy but his tag is just stupid.
Multiple people can have the same nickname dork
@@LvLdGhost, Dork is obviously your family surname!
“Magic Melling”
Still Carlo Biado will be a standout in this tournament....
Strange shot choices by both players seems to me.

How many advertaise.... No way. Destroy the pleasure to Watch the match
Too slow! Why would anyone play slow when they know there's a shot clock in the later rounds?
They need to actually get to those later rounds first, and if they have the extra time why not use it to more carefully plan and execute certain shots especially if their opponent can do the same?
@@hpe-eo4ce I agree 100%

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh Tyler!
Breaks are Bad

Gorst is ruzzian
What size are these tables?
I suspect they're nine foot tables. They look smaller here because the camera lens is able to bend the keystone effect.
9 foot

@@andosan5995 Well, this one is particularly crappy, it's too thick and interferes with balls unacceptably.
@@andosan5995 if it doesn’t affect the break in any meaningful way, why use it?
Did effren reyes play this tournament?
He didn't. I believe he doesn't play big tournaments anymore. Just exhibition matches.
Believe Efren Reyes is just playing Money Games Now and Exhibitions....doesn't really travel much as use to
Why does it even matter... he's nowhere near this level of players.
Slow play is terrible for the game.
Lucky....
Tyler Skyler Styer.
Styer week player 😂
