Shane Van Boening vs Jayson Shaw | 2024 Premier League Pool

let's start the action there's the handshake here's the delay this has been a rivalry for years in the making look this delay is a little short I think Sha mentioned to us this morning he feels much better with his hand well if that break is any sign I don't think he has a chance against both of them Carl I don't know if he can play the combo we'll see in a moment when the cameras catch him it all depends on where the three of them are well he can see it Jason recently signed a new contract with Q Scott How long do you think it takes for one of these players to completely trust a Q?

That's a good question for me. It takes these guys a while, a few months, they're playing with carbon fiber. I feel like a lot of the carbon fiber shades are more of the same, there can be some different subtleties and power obviously the tips make a big difference, it might be more mental than anything else for some guys we've mentioned, Shaw He is very strong mentally, everything he has to do. What he does is concentrate on it, he seems to achieve it, yes, one thing he does have compared to others, he has a very close Bridge hand, he puts his, you know, the hand that is light, not in this case, obviously CU, you are stretching, but when you are putting the balls, just watch how close your hand is to the Q ball, yes, very compact and grab two balls to beat Gorst when Gorst's car, the leader does the job , remains undefeated.

G will live to fight another day Shaw doing fast. work and that's what the good sha does when he's in Rhythm, he's UNstoppable. Hanoi showed us all that Carl has a little reality show with him and in my opinion it is a must see if you go to Carl Boy on YouTube to watch the reality show. series about Jason Shaw, something to watch, he's a character, a really good guy on and off the table, a very emotional player at times, but he means well, treats people with respect, yes, he's a serious talent. I have been playing Q Sports since I was very young. six or seven, you know, running around the

pool

, all just lining up on the wall and hitting the balls in the pocket, he still loves to compete.

I know his father also played

pool

. Yes, Charlie, I'm sure he's watching at home. Scotland Jason's sister and brother-in-law own a pool hall in Scotland, a very nice pool hall also called MC Alricks. Well, I've noticed that Shane is picking up some speed on the counterattack and is shooting at both Jeremy Jones. He likes to allude that no one hits him harder on the cut than Van Boning. We had a little chat while he was practicing here and I was watching him rip. I felt like he was done beating them up a little. He was getting frustrated. yes, he was doing the right thing, but the distribution was not very good, well, this distribution is very good, yes, it is very strange that svb does not clear the table when the balls are like this.

This is an easy job for SVP, quite difficult to get. on this ball or in a straight line, but it seems a little complicated, maybe you can hit, come down, that's what you've done by manipulating player Q, that's the game, isn't it Scott? He's putting that cubic ball around the table, leaving you these angles and carving. your way through these racks and that's only a fraction away he didn't want to be that steep he'll be able to handle it without any problems this angle gives us a better view it's almost perfect a couple of getaways and races to start this matchmaking table two the match is also starting kopin Chung is at the table that the young Bernie is playing regalio regalario yesterday the star of the show really three really difficult matches is against the three best Europeans Albin filled out Sánchez Ruiz and managed to win two out of three, he shows you what that child can do, yes.

The Little Prince, probably my favorite player to watch right now, I guess maybe because he's 19, but I really liked him in Hanoi. I followed him quite a bit, his performance was stellar, oh. Shaws got kissed in the corner, he left it on that break, hit it pretty soft, much softer than svb and drew it right into the corner, so it's a hit. svb takes a look at 39 Carl, he has the ball in his hand on the two blues. Yeah, that would be a crazy shot selection, especially with the design here. I just think it's better to run the balls, isn't it just getting a few bounces under your belt?

I know it's svb, he's put in millions of balls, but still, of course. To your point, I mean that most professional players will avoid the combination just to run the balls, especially when the percentages are there. pool over the years he has many miles under his belt and many titles here comes the QQ ball pinpoint accuracy born in Rapid City South Dakota spends most of his time there he likes to fish a lot he is a salmon and trout fisherman he likes Trout Lake convinced him to buy a boat. Carl about nine years ago liked to fish from the shore.

I told him, man, you need a boat and look what he's done. He will take the third game. In fact, it's all business here for the fifth time at the US Open. The shw champion knows how to beat Shane, he's done it before. I'm sure he can do it again. Let's take a short break. Let's see how the end of this match ends. Young Bernett took the starting position at table two against Co. Ping Chung every time we show you glimpses of this table, it looks like Chun is just playing jump shots as usual, we'll keep you posted on how that match goes.

Yes, Bernie lost yesterday to Ain Ocean, five games to two since then. He looked back and again there is a good break, he will come out with another shot and a good one, the pink Four showing signs of possible trouble plays on the bottom left, although if you can get it right on all three he is looking at it. now they're playing all the foul balls, you're going to have to be careful with that eight ball that's right near the short cushion on this lower end, you don't want to go right here Carl, these side pockets are very small and I think you're a little worried . about being straight, he wants to get down here for the pink four, now this should be a little flatter than we thought.

He called his extension, so he was straight. The way he went in it looked like he could have gone off the railing, yeah, the problem. With being straight, you have a little angle here, can you get out of it or do you have to move between the nine and the six that you are going to take? Oh, he has entered the six, how is this going to end? I think the nine has it isolated from the left middle. I thought he could move forward. There was a space to get up and down. I think I felt more comfortable serving the ball.

Is he playing him? I don't think so well. I thought he would bite her. below seven and maybe below six. I'm a little surprised he shot that ball like that. It's a blind ball. We know how tough Shaw is with a chance talking about CHA, he's only 33 years old, born in 1980, still a puppy. Carl from Glasgow, UK, is also a world black ball champion. You know a little about the black ball. He won in 2010. He won that, actually a long time ago. He was 10 years old, yes, 13 years ago. Well, 14. Now, actually, here comes the ball Q.

It seems like he's a different player today. Listen, this is his own pool room. He knows a lot of people here. You can tell that when he wins a game, there's just a slightly louder round of applause. He doesn't want to not play. a part in this

league

here this week of course no yeah you see it's just louder when Shaw wins a crash 22 talking a two on the table two burer has won another rack now leading two Z over Co pin Chong K pin Chong is on the table is what he faces on that two ball that he has to try to overcome for the red three.

He would almost have to say that little Co is possibly playing better than his brother this last year and the whole family seems to enjoy it. they are always by your side Little Co's US Open victory was fun to see one return to the table Shaw to break has the one down take another look Q the ball seems to be still good here yes, it was still good got the perfect kiss from up the nine the 38 covers the two not the best in Fortune he can get a part I don't think he can do it very smart wow wow what a shot from Jason Shaw hit it to the back of the pink four yeah look at the CU ball here , it seemed like he would never get there, but in the end he just huddled on the edge of the four S Fe, kicked the two good punches, will he end this? the ball goes down the rail beyond the nine yes, it's not easy, but there is a little work to be done.

You see that four is close to eight. Jason calls the extension on him, so this is a key ball on the rack. He's probably worried about seven too. the ball coming and going seems to be rising a little bit, he played very well, the speed was very important, that's how he brought the ball down well, he chose to come to the short side, I think he got there, but it's tight, oh, he could To put it out of English, Carl boy points to captain Jeremy Jones practicing and says he'll face the winner. Well, yes, there is a theme I've noticed here among the commenters.

Frosty was eating balls yesterday. JJ, today, it's just me. i haven't taken any hits you're next chag chaw making quick work on a heavy duty rack it was the perfect security on this rack he has HED surea with another and you can hear the difference his friends his friends you know the people that work. in this pool hall, desperate to go deep on table two of the event, Co pin Chun, current US Open champion, facing young Bernie The Little Prince, but he looks good here on rack three, if Bernie can keep up and beat Coop pin Chung, I mean, us.

I have said that this field is strong, but it is opening four fights, they will not get more difficult. No, in the four fights he has had they have been nothing more than elite heavyweights. He has already shown the world that he can beat anyone at any time. the favorite to beat anyone at any given time, especially in the next two years, he made a ball, oh look at this, Carl, yeah, good job, the one that came in, I mean, he could have stayed on the bag, but the fact That it's gone means he has an easy shot with these two balls, well he's never happy with his results, he had a little wrist or hand movement there like he was a little frustrated, he got the kiss on the QQ ball, but then the one that fell, I think with this break, Carl you just have to take what he gives you, especially if you hit him right, you can't control the outcome of every kiss at the table, the perfectionist that he is can drive him a little crazy sometimes Internally, this party is turning out to be everything we want.

I thought it would be svb three ball You get away from tying this in three games one piece that's the beauty of this format we're going to have a lot of close matches we're going to have a lot of great matches keeps the pressure on these guys, isn't this format? Yes, it certainly is and it is very different from previous years simply because we have let VIP fans come, they can see them all crowded around the table, these players want to perform for them just as they do. performing for our viewers at home, we are going to take a short break in this match, he 33, well today we are treated to a fantastic nine ball, we are not disappointed, just like this match, Shaw versus vain, always a good show and there you see it. it's 33 in a race against five seemed a little flat, yes that was a great break opportunity for Shaw, the good news for him is not easy at all for svb, he has a chance, he could play the one towards the eight with some right.

He turns and comes down here behind the three 49 something like that. The problem is that he has to hit it pretty thin, so he's going to have to hit it with some rhythm just to get the three, he's sorry, the one on top unless he decides to keep it under. the right middle oh, he hit it well, he doesn't want to catch the point, yes Shaw can see this ball, he hasn't actually, not bad, he has to get into it to avoid the eight, yes, he was extremely thin , thinner than it seemed. He really he did well, this is all just a focus on making the ball here, yeah, he today he looks like a different player to me.

I felt that this being his room, he has something to prove this week here in front of his fans, friends and family. to go back to that safety that played svb that i mentioned, he has to hit it thin and he had to hit it thinner than that, he was flirting with the side pocket when you do it, he got

shaw

's point after the runs. yes, Shaw will have to go long here in the top left pocket. He knows that every time he hits the nine he makes a lot of noise here, he's a lot louder than everyone else, so he's fighting that too.

I say fighting against it is what makes you focus on this. In some ways, yes, he feeds off the crowd. It is not like this? His performance in the Moscone Cup this year was something he had never seen before. How he controlled the crowd and you know he would be on two balls with a tough out. raising his hands and pumping up the crowd and I've never seen anything like it, he just played perfect, I could see the bridge of him there, he looked so close to the QQ ball, yeah, unusually compact in front of most players, there you go .

Sha takes a 4 to 3 lead. you see Bernie gift shooting thefour, two games a piece, this is a great game for The Little Prince, it looks like he's going to get there too, he wants to get under six, he nailed it perfectly, he has a nice fluid movement, he goes back to table one svb at half-time had good results the scoreboard does not show it it had very good results Carl at half-time needs another one that has escaped Well, the only ball was hit hard again, much harder than the others and you have to feel that there was a bit of frustration at play there, but he hit those balls several miles per hour faster than the other racks, yes you could see where a ball went out, that's the beauty of this breaking rule, you know, in a lot of games different and different breaking rules, you just hit the balls and hope one goes in, but the players are trying to PO the one you just hit a little above the top.

The point opportunity was surely right. I don't know if he can drag the ball in or find a rail to come back to. Well, not only Carl but he goes back to his break, look at the layout, see? where are these balls, the 3 49 the five, all here on this right side, normally when you hit them at the right speed you will have that good distribution like svb did in the first games, so now Shaw has a little work to make three to the four and the six and the eight look at the outside pocket what has he done here oh Pigeon down looked like he was going straight to the middle so big bummer for Jason Shaw to avoid that middle sorry Frost I was just saying if he moved a ball no really he didn't hesitate at all, he was going to where he ended up hitting, it looks like he's entertaining combination 68 from here, Carl, yeah, what an important role he was there to keep shit on the table, that just shows you. which also means the fact that he came over to get his towel and wiped his tail, don't be fooled into thinking well, this is a short race to five many games that wants to beat SVB, yes, there is more to this game . that just the event, it's svb, he's playing, he's going forward, yeah this could be a fun shot to watch, look at this shot, has he hit this ball too much?

This is amazing, you could never dream in life, you could hit that ball, Carl, here's another look, look at the Q ball, we've been saying it for two days, these tables play fast, so is there one last hope for svb? Oh, and he's hit that right if he misses the point. svb missed a shot similar to this yesterday. I don't know if you were on comms or JJ, I don't remember, but he ended up trying to hit, but this kind of shot missed by a lot. Came in today. The first thing he did on the practice table was prepare a very similar shot.

I think this brings her down uhoh uhoh did she get hooked? I mean, he really drove the ball, he straightened up on that long rail, well, he's coming down, which tells us that he can pop this ball. Oh wow, look at this ball Q, so I had to spin that ball clearly or I wouldn't have ended up here this ball is missable he's not going to miss it but it's missable it's 44 Scott is 44 I'm sure he had a chance to talk to us about that shot where

shaw

tried to hit six the ball was a bit bad it wasn't a bad shot it was unfortunate trying to explain it to the average person who looks good i think the most important part was he was just trying to make the ball no , no no.

I necessarily know it was a bad shot. I think he's just trying to get the ball he's focused on into position. All kinds of things go through his mind at the same time. I think he's a little frustrated with how the game went. He has broken well, but you could say in this last break that he dominated the balls just a little and with that he gets bad results when he hits this cut too hard, the extension just does not come out many times, he will achieve the right one, but the difference is not there and here we go, would you do it any other way?

Carl, no I wouldn't, it's a one-rack shootout to see who gets the point, he's got one ball for sure, there's no bounce on both, it seems like every Hillhill game. there's always something funny, let's start with a defensive play, I don't care, although I mean, obviously, when you're sitting neutral watching, I always think it's nice when both players get out of their chair and have a good shot or two shot good safety yes, it was a good safety CAU the real thin part of that ball. I'm a little surprised that he goes to the jump queue immediately, so he must feel like he can shoot the two towards the six. and hold the qall behind the 37, but I feel like I could almost kick these two if it's not frozen, kick it off the left rail properly so the five ball isn't really in the way, yes you would spin it, but it's elevated above the pink, so obviously this is the right call if you are shooting and you have lost the QQ ball, how is it going to end?

Wow, wow, big favorite for Shaw to make a good hook here, isn't it? But I can promise you that Shane is. He didn't bother Shaw by calling his extension, yes, on the tape table near where the shot clock referee is sitting, this ball needs to travel, he just missed the nine, which happens, yes, both tables have a little clock digital, so if you sometimes wonder what plays they're watching, just keep an eye on the shot clock. Well, this ball leaked, so new life for Captain America. Well, I think he was trying to kick behind the ball.

I think he was trying to kick and punch and he just caught her. You can't imagine he's trying to hit those two coming in with the inside English Shaw shaking his head and he had room to get behind he would have used the eight as cover he just caught him coming in what to do here oh what a great hit this was man , what a clever shot, oh he got off that third rail, four plays a piece, 4 in pockets, well you have to wonder if he played to overcut the ball, obviously he would have liked to have made it, but he knew the qball was coming here Shaw framing just waiting for something good to happen and it's good that he's known for being slanted sometimes, he feels like he doesn't get to run the ball sometimes but I think everyone gets their fair share, not saying they should.

Not just hitting the ball, but well, Jeremy Jones and I were talking about it yesterday, sometimes I don't think there's anything wrong with it, you need a little bit of luck, so was he trying to get into eighth place or is this ? he played in a tough spot i wouldn't be surprised if he shot the bank but now he had a second to regroup so maybe i would be surprised and he played this discreetly but it will end badly even if it is svb snooker i think favorite to do this, yeah, this is what I mean, I just don't think it's a case of bad rolls and things not going your way.

I think it's just positions like this. I think if you look at someone like Ruiz, I think Ruiz would do it. I've had you in a bad place now, absolutely, he had the chance, he leveled out here, you can definitely do this jumping while hooking, wow, I don't know what English he put on that being so flat to get out two rails, but what a big hit , I wanted an angle to go for the seven, this will hurt sha and all if Shane continues to clear the table, he is currently fourth from bottom, a win of three, so this would keep him at a win of four and then all. the players are moving away boy, did you understand the angle or is it straight?

You see the movement of his arm again. You have to know that Cub Ball will carry this team. He can hit up to nine or maybe he can. Go ahead, play the seven in left middle, that's what he's done with pretty good control, he had to hit under three balls to beat Sha, like Carl said, I don't know how Shaw is going to respond to this after four you defeat and I don't. I don't really think about your point, Carl, that it was a case of bad roles, you know, things happened. Shane felt like things were going against him too, so overall it was a pretty good match.

I don't think either of them played badly, one ball away. win svb does the job what match we were invited there SVP five Jason Shaw four you can see this match on table two Cole ping Chung that match is tied at 33 not for long so it's this nine ball that gets put on the hill which makes so the current US Open Champion is on the hill let's take a short break
