jeanette

lee and geforce

gerda

hofstetter and uh larry schwartz uh here with us from chicago larry hey ray how is this match going to close today man this match I'm going to make an early prediction here I can't tell you who's going to win, but I could tell you it will be Hill Hill, that will be my prediction, Hill Hill, well it's a good chance that both ladies are great players and maybe we can get a little information on both of them.

You know Jeanette Jeannette Lee, don't you? you know she owns apa in tampa, florida, now yes, and she is a very active person with apa, very instrumental, you probably won't see a billboard in the country without her photo, so, but here we go gerd, I'm going to tell you give a little background on

gerda

gerda really likes the delay first game the first tv table game we had with gert a little earlier she froze the cue ball she froze it and in this one she put it about a quarter of an inch away , so I'll tell you that's the first bottom that's a really big shot, yeah, anyway, but Gerda since 1993 turned pro in '93, so that's 25 years and she's currently ranked number two in and she came up dry and was ranked number two in the wpba she is currently ranked 31st and uh her achievements and titles are 2008 that just happened in the wpba and hall of fame member 1995 world champion nine balls 1997 US National Champion 11 11-time European Champion and 10 Classic Tour wins are very impressive and don't forget one of our accomplishments: She is most proud of raising two younger daughters, so it's quite an achievement and will take a little break from the game for a few. years to do that, she's back, yes, a very nice lady, we're glad to see her back too, oh, without a doubt, just first class and

jeanette

lee, jeanette lee, everyone knows the black widow and how she is , as Ray, who currently resides in Tampa, said. florida and where she owns the apa originally from brooklyn, new york and has been ranked number one she is currently ranked 45th and you know that's pretty close she got 31 playing 45. you know it's a close match so jeanette lee she just can't" I don't tell you enough, she was inducted into the bca hall of fame 2013 and 2012. wpba hall of fame and let's see what gerda does here and then we'll give you the rest of her, yeah you know the Both players' rankings are a little skewed a little bit because you know if they haven't been playing much and there were a few years where there really weren't many wpba events here, it was actually a big hit for gerda and she just didn't make it. to a rail after hitting both and she came two rails and caught him coming out it was actually a good shot but I'll tell you she too jeannette lee 2007 Skins Billiards Champion 2007 World Team Cup Champion the 2007 Emperor's Cup 2005 Chinese Invitational Champion 2004 BCA Open Champion 2007 International Skins Billiards Championship, just to name a few.

Anything else we should know. I think she has six children. Morgan Olivia Cheyenne John Chloe and Savannah and I'm sure they. I'm watching and I know you're rooting for your mom so yeah 100 okay jeanette lee starts with a ball in her hand and she's planning the whole rack here before she starts five balls in a really bad spot and that's really What is causing so much concern here is that she has to find a way to get to this four ball so that you can get in between the five and the eight, that would be the ideal spot and if she can't get there for that, I have the combination of the five eight available in a bit of a complicated place here she will come with inside English write English go down towards the five I like to go down towards the five I think it's too risky to just go down you know it almost looked like she I was going to take this out two rails, Larry, she's not going to get perfect and she's going to get absolutely perfect and what an opening you know one of the first shots she hits on this rack look that's a statement yeah it was a good night of shooting good set up on the four ball to get here very well done good speed there and you know one thing I notice uh it seems like all the players are getting more comfortable as we progress in the tournament, you know this In stage two, we still have two more days left. 6 p.m. m. on Sunday Central Standard Time, it will be the finals, a race to 10.

Coming down from the side pocket, Larry well roped, many people listening may not realize that Larry Schwartz here was in the color of money in the movie and was mentioned in the movie twice, once, in your match with, in the semi-finals, they will play Louie Roberts, but Larry also wrote the book, The Winners' Eight Ball Manual, and has been a build your digest columnist for more 20 years old and you know that says a lot, Larry, I know that you have also given personal instruction to many of the women who have played in the wpba and many others, of course, right? allison fisher gerda hofstetter gerda is here playing this game gurda and alison came to chicago i spent two days with him 12 hours a day and it was really a pleasure to teach him more strategy, he couldn't help but pocket and posture, they were right, very polished . but when it comes to the game of eight ball, uh, larry, larry may be the leading authority on eight ball in the US, I mean, really, if you want to learn the game of 8 ball and its strategies, larry is the man you should call, really proud to have you with us. no thanks Ray, it's an honor to be here, it really is, and to work with you and with Pool Action TV and the women's event.

My first professional women's event, you know, that I have commented on and it is really a pleasure, yes, a very, very professional experience. I enjoy working. with the wpba here's jeannette lee on rack number two up by one we're running towards eight now and unfortunately only one of these big players will make it to the money in the big prize round starting tomorrow and one will end up with a 300 payday since the 5, 16 finalists today will receive 300 and everyone else will move on to the final board of 32. Really good payday, huh, waiting for these ladies fifty thousand dollars in the prize fund will be paid out this weekend , sweet ten thousand. for the first sixty four hundred dollars for the second thirty eight hundred dollars for the third three thousand for the fourth and it pays very well, which is good, you know, I like that, I like that, yeah, it's very nice, okay, ha I missed this man a little and I may have.

I left the edge of this for Gurda, it looks like she can bank this too, Larry from this view, yes, without a doubt, she has a good cross corner, deposits three balls in a good place, a good neutral point, the only place you don't want to go to. on three she's down in that final lane and she thought she had made it too her demeanor looked like she was on she was ready to go yeah well it happens on jeanette lee now we'll have a great opportunity here she just has to do it careful With these four balls in the middle of the table, she doesn't want to stay behind any of those well-made ones, she could hit them with her left English and get to the left side pocket, which would be the best route is to go directly to the four if you have enough angle to turn left with two rails in English in the upper left corner and right towards the sixth ball, you just grabbed it.

Larry will be fine, she can see it, yes. I thought I was going to go towards the top right, towards where the chalk is in the left lane, so that both Lisa and the women know that they really have to come with their game to win this match. Both great players, a lot of respect. for each other's games and have played and faced each other so many times over the years, so they are very familiar with each other. Very well done to Jeanette, she traveled quite a bit in these last three, she actually believe it or not, she has the option to split up. here towards the middle like you're looking here, you can even turn under the nine and the side near the nine and with the turn it will come out towards the center of the table or you'll just take it away, it looks like it's going to choose just like that to come on the low side from the nine and turn towards the middle and that was a good shot.

I really like that choice, yeah, I didn't like moving away because the second side on the other side. I know if he missed a little he could shoot himself that's why I agree with you ray um okay good ending in janette lee 2-0 look at that league playing so far every game he lost that hill hill game he lost the hill hill game with him uh lindbergh player and she lost the hill right in this TV table or opening match and it was tough and she got to the hill, she was leading that match seven to five and she lost the last three games in a row Genetically, wow, wow, that was her first game of the day.

She played pretty well, but it seems like she really knows that she can't give up. You know, as I mentioned a few moments ago, only one of these ladies can move on. on the weekend rounds here, okay, larry and I save for a moment, we're back and jeannette lee comes to the table in a difficult place, yes, very difficult, high, high, long distance, hard cut , she pretty much played it two ways, you know, she played it. It's two ways, yeah, hit it on the pro side, now she had done that three-wall, three-ball look where she's out on the four, you know, I mean, it ended up being a pretty tough four-ball shot. , so very straight and Gurta has a lot in it. very similar situation with an easier shot on all three balls, easier to do, I mean both can be done, but she has an easier spot, she's not elevated on a ball, so I'm looking for a beam to do this one ball.

Gerta simply has a diamond table. like the one who's playing at home and practicing a lot, I mean, as much as she can, like I said, I looked for her to do no, it wasn't like that, yes, now she's made it, but she'll take it, that's one. of the things that you know about the nine ball, you know that now unexpected things happen, like the 10 ball, you have to call it right, the five is available here, so that makes a big difference even for the seven ball, yes, an angle quite pronounced. Also, although here you can go, um, yeah, yeah, you have to carry them well if you can hold them, so you're definitely going to really need to calm down.

Come back in this one because it looks like Jeanette Lee is playing at a pretty good pace. Here she looks too determined, she's looking at this as if she doesn't want to go that far, but not at all, it's actually not a bad angle, although coming back for this nine ball, naturally, is just the angle she has on you. . I know she doesn't really like it, it's just a little bit more, I know it's just a foot, but you know, between all the showing off and everything, Ava hits a lot of pool balls. They always call her somewhere, she always puts on so many exhibitions. any other player jeanette lee, without a doubt, great shot, the cue ball was a little below this nine ball and it is not what I intended, but very below, yes, very swollen, better shot, too low, no, but she has a better shot on the side. or cross the side yes, she is going to bank it.

Do you like to bank this beam? How are you? what is your feeling? bench it or cut it on the side I like to cut it on the side bring the cue ball to the bottom rail and then if you know If you miss it, you'll probably put it on the top rail. I totally agree with you, but Jeanette Lee just said, What are they talking about? I'm going to show you how to drain this sucker. beautiful shot 3-0 we'll update the score here in a second and it's only 3-0 jeanette lee right now leading gerda hofstetter are you watching live coverage of the wpba ho

here at the wisconsin dells around three and a half hour north of chicago and two hours west of milwaukee wisconsin many of the players are channeling the 16 seed weekend it doesn't get any better i mean what a quality class event this is i mean it's you quality you know you just got uh uh swing chen uh just elsa fisher number one player in the world is mink chen I mean man yeah she's amazing uh-oh the cue ball got away and jeanette will deliver the ball in the hand and that's what gerda He needed to give himself a little start, uh, start here, let's see if he can keep going, he has the seven ball strong, he could go to the side and it doesn't look like he's going to go to the corner, although there is a shot there.

It goes right into the pocket clearly and the six ball is not in the worst place to go up, let's position ourselves on that, oh yeah, look at the five, six, seven, yeah, connect the dots right there, it's like the triangle of the Bermuda, I can't. Remember where I saw it, but I thought it was an ad saying it's like the Bermuda triangle, only without Bermuda shorts or the triangle, you know who? I'm surprised I don't see here who could definitely compete without a hesitation with these women and give them all a hard time kelly isaacs oh yeah, isn't that a good point?

Although I want to say no, yes, yes, great player, I guess I'm not sure if this was invitation only or if he had to qualify to get it. I know we hadIt's out there, look at that little guy. uh the extension extends well, that's yeah, pretty common, she's actually been no, she's struggling with it a little bit, but she had it really good, I don't know, I've never seen that as a retractable extension, I gotta get it really. come on i'm serious you never seen i've never seen anyone make them before i'll tell you right now i think a lot of the queue waiters you know have gone to that or left immediately or you could get that and put it on your tail oh yeah yeah well you want to get back to your chair that's pretty good sometimes a good walk you know where your chair is and grab them you want a well made one she turned that cube over right now , the four on the side that she I'll find that she wants to straighten out as much as possible with this five ball that she's looking at, going around three cushion, she'll hit right under the sixth ball and she wants to come, you know, come out and clear the six , I don't.

I know you may not like this at all oh, this could be perfect, Larry, and it's beautiful, I mean, but how do you talk about living on the dangerous side, there, the wild side, a little short on your speeds , who would Jeanette Lee have been looking for? finish this table and go to the hill and it looks like she'll get there too guys alright we're going to have the winner of the last wpba event we covered she's here vivian villarreal from texas here the texas tornado looks to spend and get some money which is usually successful for that great player, she didn't give up every match, I saw her place, she improved, she improved and the proof was that I saw her four or five matches now and she has risen a little in each one . match now she goes to the hill here against the beam there it's a hill also usually breaking on the hill here it's okay the balls are falling and there will be two balls rolling in the last minute and they could have gotten in the way it's hard to say , I think Jeanette can see the edge of it, although Larry, I think she can see enough to do it.

I was trying to figure out, she tried to block you so you couldn't look, don't look, she wanted to look first, well it looks like she can see that this ball genetically owns the apa league in tampa florida uh now I'm wondering um uh it looks like that would be the main apa league to play with you in the ap rep basically as your league operator it's great and there it's beautiful right in the pocket beautiful shot she's going to have a good shot here on these two balls in the corner yeah , also dressed well all five just stop here at the two balls that she is following and I would stop, let's see what she's going to do, oh look at this, where will it all stop?

Well, this is an opportunity for Gerda. Here she has a bank in her pocket on the other side. Well, the guard needs to be tickled to death. Oh, to have another shot. Yes, and especially the two balls. It looked like she was just going to hold the cue ball there just for the three balls, as the five ball was so available that she started to feel very good, maybe too good and too good, and she decided to let that shot go well. . good shot of gerta, ok the garden needs a mall, it's a tall mountain to climb but it's certainly doable.

Jeannette is playing very well, although with alternating breaks. I think it will be difficult to stop her in this situation, but it is definitely possible, like I said. she was behind she was ahead seven to five in the last game at the TV table and she lost he lost three games in a row he wiped his feet no doubt she will play this on the side roll it in the corner without a side pocket 100. I mean, she can just tap it in the side pocket, you know, and just gently twist forward a little bit to get the knife.

No, she let the movement out of her. Wow, that's cool, maybe she was a little higher on that rail than she seemed. a little far on this, she's going to guard the side pocket really well, it's not so much that the corner is quite big, the side looks like it could beat the side easier and could beat that far corner, it just needs to favor maybe just hit him with a little high inside just a high drop to the left let's see him hit it good ladies and gentlemen he'll do it on a good night seven to three now we go to hofstra we advance if this game ends early we will . moving to another table will allow you to sweat out some of the other matches that are going on all of these matches are really important because the winners will advance and the losers will be eliminated from this round the winners will advance to stage three that's right the losers still three hundred dollars is guaranteed okay here we go so this is very doable right here sure there's eight sweet nines for the end of the shelf that's okay I think she's going to move forward here and try to go above the four and five well done, perfect, perfect, no I don't see anything here that stops Curta from moving to four, I mean she has to stop shooting the three a little bit inside the English, come back for the four on the side, the side right, very well done, that's perfect, picture perfect here, soft touch, she's straight, she'll shoot. seven in the right corner reaching the railing where she even she can go out to the nine, just a little bit, hit it and back up a little bit and you will have no problem here getting to the four, very well done, very well done. so okay go half stetter now they go seven to four genetically on the hill a good half stutter trying to get to the hill going up the hill so here we go she's having a lot of success with this breaking touch , but she's losing the one on them, so she's thinking about the other, so she's thinking maybe I'm hitting it too hard where the one comes back up the table, well, what do you like here?

Larry, well, I always like to commit right away, I'm not throwing Here that's positive, okay, so if I'm hitting that ball on the left side and swinging down two rails to get behind the two nines or if I'm just that five ball, it's a big ball, so it's hard to go to the right side of the ball, I mean, unless you're hitting that one, unless its speed is so perfect, yeah, I don't know, I don't think she got there, that was difficult, it was difficult to get to the right side of that ball. it's a lot easier I think it's so hard those shots on a diamond table that you have to hit them over and over again to perfect them because I see it happen too often that just on diamonds more often than any um other tables okay jeanette read now with the opportunity to close the shot and spy the ball again the five to the six still there is your angle that she has on the five to be able to roll this five slowly with the left English and just let the white ball die there, it is okay, just pocket speed, let the five balls roll, you'll have a perfect angle on the six, she'll just pull it back and do that, so let's see how she hits it well, didn't wait. she hit the six ball but it didn't, it didn't, that's the next ball, she didn't hit a ball on the way or anything, yeah, no, that's true, she moved the six on her swing, I think with our back style we could.

I don't see it because we were right behind the shot and the outfield has the option to leave it where it is, it's a tough call, I think it's pretty accurate, it's real, it's accurate and it's like Curtis' choice, like you said, basically it's supposed to. that this is going to something, you know, they're both like I said, they have a lot of class here and she knows it's not there. Gerda Gerda doesn't want to see us there and that's why she did it. No, she wants to make it a little harder and she really has the choice to do it because it was Jeanette's fault for hitting the ball well, so in other words, she doesn't even have an argument here.

Courtica put him against the nine, that is totally unsportsmanlike. you know, but she really has the option to do that right, I mean, she's really okay, so Gerta kind of took the best for a ball, well, don't crash the ball, okay, yeah, an option, an option, I'm glad they did it. I didn't ask for the replay, you know we could have done it. We could have looked at the video and seen exactly where it was, but as you know, the rule is as it would be for everything else here, yeah, it's generally the general consensus on that. unless there were cameras at every table, it's just not fair to the other tables, well that was very well done, yes, jeanette fought for her position, oh she was allowed to do that too, nothing wrong to fight and tell it, but I don't believe it. jeanette is going to have some trouble and she's going to advance in this tournament and you really know it was nice to see gerda fight at the end there and give herself a chance and that's what she did so the match goes to jeanette lee jeanette lee defeats beam jumps that are eight to four and I'm larry schwartz with pool action tv ray hansen and winter I'll contact you ray hanson is that ray big truck hanson and uh we'll be back tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. with something cool Matches Ray is going to turn on a camera, you're not going anywhere here, you'll see more pool tonight, so thanks for joining us.
