okay here we go your official timekeeper is miss julie high your official photographer karl kantrowitz now it's my pleasure to deliver it to the booth to the two best in the business the voice of accustats billy ian cardona and hall of fame danny d liberto take it bill bill and kadona here along with danny d liberto danny has made it to the fourth and final game sorry two matches left obviously annie smith is waiting to play the winner of this match danny.

Smith has a 4-1 record. Both players, Jane Van Boning and Evan Reyes, have a record of 3-1. The winner of this match will proceed to play Annie Smith in a final title match. How do you see this match? well, I'll tell you that I know that apron knows a little bit more a pocket and won the delay, which is very important because if you break first and it's hill, the last game will be your break and the break in a pack is very big. but you know, i know efrain knows a lot more about a pocket than

shane

bamboni, but he changes shots so directly, you know he does it all by not missing and that's how i see it, billy, well, i'm going to make a prediction here or at least me.

I'm going to take a shot, there are three balls to the right of the foot, the 12, the 4 and the 15. Those three balls are lined up directly in this pocket, but the eight ball is in front of the pocket and he can remedy everything. of that, if you hit the 12 ball and move all the balls in that area, I see how they are angled, huh, you haven't even taken a look at it, you should take a look at it because if you hit the 12 ball, then it will send the 15 to the side of the eight, the eight will then point to its own side and then you can place the cue ball on the rack.

Well, you better have a lot of money if you shoot that shot he'll lightly kick next to the eight. eight, well, I think he might have left that 11. Well, as I mentioned before, three balls pose a big threat. Now the matrix is ​​because the 15 ball is dead in the truck, but excuse me, raise your pocket, but if you accumulate the 11 and somehow. He gets to that 12, he can finish the first game, well, he would have to hit the ball a little hard, but I think he could squeeze it and go to 14. If that ball is dead, as you say, he can get there another way. but right now do 11, he'll have to get to 14.

I don't think he's going to pet him hard, it looks like he's lying at a kissing angle with the 11 here, no it's not Billy, no it's not, he can go . Go ahead there is no kiss, understand it, but he missed the ball and reached the dummy and ate it now, what does Shane have? He can hit the eight in a row, but I don't know how good he will be because he left some banks, he went to go after the 11 with the cue ball, yes, not only does he want to do it, he did it quite well, but he also has to be aware of that dead ball that you called, don't go against the grain, friends, if your opponent has a dead ball. ball unless you are angry with your sponsor, well he may not be thinking about cutting the 14th.

You might be thinking about playing the 14th of the six and getting the ball out, that may be a possibility but he may be looking like you said cut 14. He's going to open everything he has to hit the paint and he did. He is such a straight shooter that he was well rewarded. This is how he is going to beat Reyes. He is going to beat Reyes by hitting the balls well because he is one of the best strikers in the world today. Reyes is obviously one of the best players in the world. He controls the white balls exactly for some reason.

I chose Shane because of his shooting ability. I think here it will all come down to shooting balls without problems. We might see eight right now, he has to put the cue ball around the table just right to do that, but yeah, I like to shoot the eight and get in the nine, that would open everything up exactly, now he's in perfect line to do a lot of different things from this. position yes, he needs five balls, he has three balls playing for five and we can all count five in many different ways. I don't think he needs to shoot the six right now.

You know, that's in the way of 13, but no. I think he has to do this. I think he could shoot at five and maybe drop at seven. I like to shoot six and land on 13. Well, it's a fine shot, Billy, yeah, and now I look on the monitor. a little thin, well now you can go to 13 or you can even go straight to the ball on the rail, which is the 10 ball, oh, perfect control, look at that, yes, it was a perfect control. He hit 13 pretty much where he needed to. hit it to stay in line so the six lands well for the 10.

Now this shot is a little tricky here, well it can go to the one and land on the nine, yes, but getting to the ones can be difficult, you have to thread the needle. between 13 and nine, well, I guess he's lucky with the needle, since Danny said he can thread the needle, which he did very well. This is grid number one. I think he needs a ball, he does it and that's it, friends. I've been thanking all of our followers. I want to thank the followers of this and other events a little more for making it happen.

We have Vinnie Romano from New York and he's sitting in the audience. Vinnie Sorrow of the Clifton Billiard Lounge. He is sitting in the audience. Gail SchultzWashington. Roger Schroeder. missouri baby bobby west virginia andy simon indiana steve stahl georgia greg strandberg borgon van boning spent about 15-20 minutes practicing the break right before this match started and every time he broke the balls he got a much better break than the one he just had . Now it's not that it's a bad break, but it's not as effective as the breaks he was practicing before the match started, well he's not in trouble, but if he is, that shot went out again, go to the corner more away, make a scratch, oh. that's going to be a disaster I think so I like to scratch and double it but he may have gotten away with it well he can do a few different things he can shoot the floor and get the cue ball out behind the 815 and open up. a lot of balls in front of their pocket, you know, that's for sure they can do that.

I think it's a pretty effective shot. I think he will move a lot of balls in front of his pocket and has the ability to draw the cue. ball behind the 8 15 using those two balls as blockers you are now looking to play the 14-1 combination you don't want to go towards the 10 ball and possibly get them off the 10 and go to the pocket this is more of an offensive shot in terms of trying to start a run I like your shot shoot the nine go behind the eight you're opening everything up yeah I'm not crazy about this shot now now he's going to shoot the four this is the shot I like to shoot the four and get behind and put balls on his side he has it open nobody plays this type of game better than kings this game of nip and tuck where you pinch a ball and you slide under the ball that takes a very good touch and this man at the table here he probably has the best touch in the game well he better have one here because there's definitely nothing aggressive about him oh not bad he better position the cue ball behind the three which really limits bam van boning what he can do I like to kick after the 12 billy yes, kick the 12 if he can pass between the six and the 12 it would be a good shot I think he has it I think he has it it's nice it's close, I don't know if he has it, but if he has it, It would be a good shot.

You're shooting him, Billy, and you're shooting him right. He better do it because he lost the cue ball and scratched his head saying. for himself, I really made a mistake there, but it ended up pretty good, it was a good mistake, he missed the cue ball, but he hit the kick as accurately as possible, he did, he would love to land on the 14 ball here. To do that he will have to go one way and reach 15. He went three ways, where is he going, that's too far for 14. Well, do all four go? You know what you're forced to shoot the 14 now and that's really not the ball you really want to shoot, but you can hit the side of the rack or the balls there.

I'm out of those balls after Apocalypse 14 and maybe I'll end up with a shot on the 10. Well, he can get a lane off the balls. straight to 10. I'm sure he knows that well, no a little English as a lefty would probably have helped him get there. Now what he wants to do here is move to the 13 ball from that position on the table. but he wants to protect balls eleven, four and seven from those balls on his side of the table, so after leaving the table he doesn't want a raise to be able to hit any of those balls, let's see how well he does.

I know he doesn't want to open the balls, but it would be pretty easy to fall behind that 13, but he doesn't want to open the balls. Good shot. Reyes needs to put a ball on his side of the table because if he doesn't do that and they go boning, when he gets close to the table he can try some kind of bench, possibly that's free, yeah, he has to put a threat there, he has to put a ball there, yes, so far, the effort has not been possible. I didn't have a chance to be offensive if he comes out of the nine, well he's going to move up the table, but the seven hardly cares where he puts the cue ball.

You shot the four behind the seven, which would then prevent Van Boning from holing out. the good seven, I don't know if he can control the tumbler but I like to shoot the 13 of the good four, he has the four, no, he has a combination, this is not a bad shot, especially since he hits the balls and the cue. The ball will really fit him too now if Reyes has any ideas about opening those balls and freezing the cue ball in thatfrom many points up, then you're definitely shooting 15 unless you go right into the well-hit nine ball.

I thought he did really well, good speed, maybe force a kick out of there we go to the side rail I better hit this for good speed I better hit this billy I better hit this for good speed because yeah He doesn't think he left the bank, there is no doubt that it is also a good bank. oh, that was the problem with that shot, that's why I suggested going to the side rail because if he chooses to shoot that way, he better hit it with good speed and that will put him on the hill. Yes, he did it, now he can do it.

Rail on 12. Yes, he can, but you know what it is, it's a tough shot because it's close to the pocket and if he hits it wrong, he could come back and give Van Burning a position shot or, oh, he did it, boy. she won the match he did it wow he did it he also tried hard to dance uh we're going to be back in not too long I just think we're going to take a 15 minute break and we're going to come back with the final match with smith and the reds
