and pro village csi kamui alpha coin and jam up outfit the The game is the temple, two races to four and a shootout, if we need one, it's a good shot and the one who makes the decisions with me here in the cabin is Tim Darreita and I am Mark White.

Good morning Tim, good morning Mike, well this is a really exciting match. the young boys, the young lefty attacker against the Duchess of Doom, of course, well, there is no one with more experience in sports than this lady who comes to the table now in the dry break, so, from Christina, take a look professional look at this table equipment and tell us. How would it be done on this table? She became quite strange with this ball. She has a cut in one and you can go for two lanes for the two balls on the side or one lane.

I usually like to spin these types of shots with some. left turn she could just play the center ball and go like that I want you to throw up that's okay, real quick and I would say getting that four ball might be the biggest problem in this and then the seven ball after that doesn't really have all the cube available , so you need a good angle, maybe go to the center of the table on the three to stun the reel up to the four bar. We started with 42 women at the beginning and we're left with these final four and I guess You could argue that you know there really aren't too many surprises, the final four maybe Kelly Fisher of course is the only one missing from the semi-final lineup and We thought it would definitely be there, but we're going to have a new name on a Predator event trophy. but it could still be Fisher, yes it could still be, and yes what we saw yesterday from Allison was just brilliant so everyone would be favoring her to maybe win the title today, yes if you didn't see it yesterday actually It's the fastest set ever made. any event, including the men's events, just 17 minutes for a 4-0 set for Alison, that was incredible, wasn't it?

I mean, she was like classic Alison Fisher, she was on fire, but today is a new day and of course, Everyone feels pressure too and fails early here, yeah, she'd like this a little bit when it falls into the wrong pocket , of course, but that's not absolutely disastrous, I mean, there's a shot at four, but it's better than three. hanging there, she's already done it all. Christina has a chance on the four, maybe she can miss the 10 and even though she hits the store a little bit, she could still finish pretty well on that five ball, which is fine for This key shot, I think in the game, is pretty away and that didn't really threaten the pocketbook, so opportunity for Alison Fisher, you mentioned the shot clock.

There of course there is a 30 second shot clock for each player with one extension per rack and it is 60 seconds after the break and a push out game is 10 balls, I have to take a shot, there is no break gold, but there are early tens available with a carom or a combo and Christina, oh oh oh, she'll still get there, problem, well, she fell short. she would have been in it perfectly, she would have been in it perfectly, right? Yeah, well, if she were playing in that gap, then she must feel good. You need some confidence to take a risk like that, achieving the key goal for all six. oh it's a lovely little lump, now it makes the seven pass the nine ball and if it does this is a pretty easy design, if not she really needs to do some work, it didn't take long to look at it so maybe yes and obviously does the way she played so this looks good for 1-0 to Annie Fisher in our first semi final the next one of course after this at midday and then we have our final the big one , at 3 p.m.

Mountain Time. How nice that. action in the moment fantastic fundamentals everything in line a smooth and sure shot you have really found or refounded your love for the game and the nervous start for both players they missed a ball but in the end it is Alison Fisher here on the ten ball to take a lead of one zero in this

open

ing set, yeah, and so it goes, and I think if there's anything to learn from that moment and that first rack, Christina Zlatava will know that if she gets the chance, she's going to have to take it.

She had a nice one, you know, she wasn't one. too difficult chance on that four ball, but she really didn't come close to it, um, early nerves, of course, it's a semi-final, it's a big event for her and also I think, because she was saying she had to be very nice. with the five ball and she was. maybe he's going to turn it up 10 because he was trying to avoid the temple so he really lost all his concentration on the shot itself yeah we've seen that a few times this week when my Ellie Fish got lost on Chi Chen actually in a shootout in the first round and she beat Stephanie Mitchell in straight sets and then Marianne McConnell 4-0-4-0 and she was absolutely impressive, as we were talking about when yesterday she referred to two straight sets against Kyoko Sonet, so broke shelf number two. leading 1-0 oh except for the scratch on the side that little kiss I think is dry although now it's not an easy shot for one but she has a pretty easy combination, I would say, and on top of that, the two and the five got together, but there is also an easy combo in this, look at those two combos to start with the one and the two and if you can hold a ball close to that corner pocket you could actually be in a good position as the balls are pretty good distributed in four. balls to the side pockets a little early in the morning for general snooker fans, but we've got a few in the stands looking around, oh yeah, early jitters show it'll calm down, although now you can spin this with a bit of a forehand.

English, would you play on this team? I think she needs to cut this with a little bit of a right turn, maybe travel between the three and the six, that would be ideal, especially since the one frozen on the railing, I like to put that little one in, just grab the the ball a little more and it's easier to make the one here seem to hug it against the cushion, wouldn't it be very difficult if I played this without saying it's a good shot? Oh, she got lucky there, yeah, pretty lucky, and here we see the Repeat there, you see, and I think the spin that she took just pushed the cue ball slightly to the left and ended up making very, very thin contact, yeah, no.

I think Christina can see, this would be nice if she did. because the shot is not very nice from this position, she goes to the right and there is a big scratch and she got lucky, well yeah, not bad, quite a distance and this combination is difficult, I'm not sure what she called it, I think the one behind the nine called, I don't know if I should call the two balls, no, no, I think that's good and as you can see after Christina's kick, the three balls were blocked, so from here we will see some strategy or maybe she can really go first and do the combination of one two and then open the three but it is very difficult to control that ball after it hits the two oh no, she doesn't know, don't enter oh , that's unfortunate, it's an easy kick.

Although I think she hit it pretty solid with this speed, she was always going to miss and yes, she would have stayed there, played a little softer, so of course it's her fault, but she could have done pretty well and that's to me. like. she called it in that top left corner, she can hit the left side with a little bit of top spin so that the cue ball is stunned behind her and then, oh, the wrong side now wants these three balls to slow down, she doesn't want them to bounce well, allied fish. in all these thin cuts she loves thin cuts remember nine ball she played yesterday but this one is very thin yeah yeah it's over I guess I don't think she got this alone of course multiple world champions of bass, as well as Paul and Christina's Lativa's boyfriend is actually a

billiard

s champion and also a Bulgarian

billiard

s champion.

I forget her name right now, but I've seen her play several times on the stream. In fact, he played a doubles whiskey with Christina in an online tournament he was watching. double whiskey she's kicking this this is confidence yeah she called the bank store first but there was a big double kiss about it and now she's kicking this is interesting oh she's got it she's got it what a great shot that's confidence little touch on the cue with Christina's chalk there in recognition, yeah, she didn't really have a good shot after the four, where you can play a good safety ball behind the 10 and the seven eight touchdown with the title, she found the gap between 7 and 10, which could make a big difference, you really want to have that ball in the middle, there are a couple of shots she can play with this four ball, maybe she can just tip it right to where the cue ball is now so you can playing a true passive safety playing opposite sides on the long rails I wish you could bring the bucket all the way back and I think she's trying to get this wow first here she's just on a player kick shot and this look there you go , you just look at the point, you just do a little measuring trick and you see that by taking out the diamonds, she has a good chance here to make the four, because if she hits the inside of the four with a fairly smooth speed, the four balls slide quite easily and could even surround the behind the five tim for the five in the same pocket or called it a little thin, as you saw now, then a real opportunity for christina zlatova to get a shelf on the board and level up the things in a short time, misjudging it like I said The beginning of the game was not a difficult layout overall, quite short on the five and now she made her life much more difficult because she will have to travel up and down the table, I think maybe maybe get to the top rail and back up a little. bit right hand english, you can also choose to shoot the six in the bottom right corner pocket if you prefer some players like to let the cue ball go and travel more and others like to keep it very tight and just play a six ball more long or something she's playing, let's just turn right, oh, and I was afraid that the killer ball would follow too much after that contact on the 10.

It's just not awkward, but it just disrupted the pattern of this game. Now look at the temple going there. the seven seven is no longer available in the left side pocket it still goes in all the others of course yeah I think she can cut it I just think it's where the cue ball goes and she'll go to the oh you're right , it did not. Play it, this could be a possible beat, 10 more combinations, yes she can play with this safety in mind as well as the six ball, if she hits it well the six ball will stay closer to seven eight, so if the cue ball continues to the short cushion, this could be a good two way shot, but it seems like I wasn't shooting this in the top corner, yes, too risky, I think it's not for playing the combo.

This is also a good two way shot, leaving the cue ball behind the 10. and the eight just in case oh she didn't even think about that now she will play the combo what a beautiful shot, she didn't think about safety like you said in her mind and then it goes 2-0 to ellie fisher and we tell you her journey up to this stage and christina got a good win in her first match, in fact she beat amalia matas from Spain in a shootout, then she was sent to the losing side by kelly fisher and bulgarian he received a nail from toby joanne ashton and won 3-2 in a penalty shootout and in the quarterfinals he obtained a fairly comfortable victory two sets two zero four two four two here we see john lee destroying the balls predator arcos 2 with the predator aero rack for

allison

fisher to break the balls Straight down the middle Tim also looks right down the middle, let's see the signs hit this perfect, but nothing, none of the side balls come close to the pockets, so another chance then and yeah, I mean, it's a pretty good break, it's just that she needed a little more power to get the two balls to the side, yeah, all three got a little bit closer, but she was about six inches short, right?

Just like you say she needed a little more oomph and this is a long tester let's see how Christina feels so far that's right she just needs to stop the cue ball you know she does something I'm not a fan of when she plays off the railing like that, was he actually queuing up with his normal jumper? hand on the top of the rail instead of putting the cue on the rail and your fingers on the top of the bridge of the cue, you know, and you're always a little bit higher too, so you're digging down so that any little bit of English you can put the keyboard, you are going to deflect it, yes, it pushes a lot more when you lift the tail, yes, I would like to see a tail on the rail and make it more parallel, the more parallel you can get q abetter the fabric is better good speed on a wall by ellison including the fourth one that was on the wrong side and she didn't do it from here again it's not a really difficult design with the three four five six seven it's all pretty good sheet route, yes, over and over again, Christina had the first chance and it wasn't too difficult, it's one you'd expect her to do eight or nine times out of ten, but she missed it and it was, uh, the four-ball one of the previous shelves.

Yeah, the only thing that might get a little interesting is going from seven to eight and then eight, where she can crash into the nine ball, which might end up a little funny, but Alison Fisher is a little bit like yesterday, she's surfing, if you. I know she's a shark in the best way possible. You know she's a shark. She smells blood, she'll go for it, you don't need to ask her twice look at this, all just the right side of each bolt and it makes things so much easier, you know, you have full control and that's it. what I really like.

I also spoke to Kelly yesterday. and Kelly and Allison have a pretty similar style of play in terms of technique, but also in the way they approach the game with right angles. They don't really want to move the cue ball, they said just keep the cue ball on the string. and that's exactly what Allison is doing here, she never leaves herself straight, she always leaves that angle to let the cue ball do what it wants as soon as you try to make it go against the flow, that's when the problems come to her he would have liked to have. she had just a fraction more angle, this is not a problem of course, and she would really like to be as straight as possible on this eight ball, oh, this could end up behind the store, it's death, oh, she just arrive and me.

I'll tell you what her heart would have been in her mouth for a second or two there. I don't think she wanted to go that far, she didn't really blow up all seven cleanly, did she? Yeah, I'm not really sure it's difficult. See if she played on the right or left side of the store, but I really know she got that perfect on this eight ball. Oh, you said you wanted it right on eight. You got it. She got that birthday. Oh well, that happened. a little further than I think she wanted too, so with a little work to do she could play two rails forward for the temple in the same corner pocket as the nine ball oh, that's a beautiful shot, beautiful hit, that's how it was. 3-0, you know she has complete control and I think Christine will have a chance to win if she doesn't take advantage of it, it will be a very fast semi-final and 3-0 on the hill is already Ali Fisher. in our first semi-final so let's take a quick break and be back soon hmm so we're back.

Ali Fisher breaking on the hill made a ball, I think a successful break and she has a shot on the one but all three balls got stuck, not sure if it's a combo on the one, I think that's what she's looking at now , I'm not sure if it can be done or not, tim o and it's also quite difficult to get on the other. side of the three, she could play it safe here, cuts the one and runs the wire to the short rail behind the nine, that's that deck, she's got it perfect, a round of applause, well executed, wasn't it?

Christina goes for the jump stick she looks pretty calm tim, yeah well it's hard, she really doesn't have to be mad because she only missed one or two chances and Allison has been playing really well so if I see my opponent playing so Well, I'm not going. worry because yes, the only thing I can try to do is change it, no, she is going to miss everything and when it goes bad for you, it goes bad, this will end up lovely for Ali, even give her a good angle to go wherever she wants. with that white ball, but I still don't think that combination of three and six is ​​valid or I think she might think it's too difficult, I think she could join in, which I like, take the risk and otherwise you can Play it safe, it's not easy from here, tim, where are you?

If you're going here, maybe you can cut the three on the left side and travel from the short rail behind the four and if not, maybe you can cut the ball off the tree on the right and drag the cue ball back to the short rail behind the 10-8. Is she playing her? Did she call ball five? I wonder if she's drawing the five ball here. I think she's drawing the five ball. I think she's drawing the fastball five. She's going to loosen up a little. Although she is drawn on the five. No, well, that would have ruined a brilliant shot, wouldn't it?

This and it's very lucky for Christina that three will end up so perfect in front of the side, which makes this a pretty easy start with those three and four just to get right to the seven ball, about where it is now, look at Tim would be nice . that line somewhere, yeah, maybe for the seven, maybe just draw half a diamond back and then shoot the seven in the top right corner pretty straight. She came this far. She might have done this because she wants to backtrack from here, but I might have liked it. to shoot the seven in the top left because then I'm pretty close to the seven and one goes, the spread has a lot of Beatles fans in the audience stretched out there oh, this went wrong, you were actually very lucky to find that space between the 10 and the eight she got the bank, I don't think, but she's a good safety here and in the end she seems a little lucky not to have caught that eight ball that Tim should have made. been stuck behind the ten, yes, both kisses would have been bad news and she called her extension, maybe she can accumulate the seven because she can give it a left turn there to open the seven ball, but when three zero down, she could play Safely.

That's not a good shot, another type of safety, yes, he could have cut the seven ball to the short side and left a lot of distance, I think he left it, he has a little bit of a draw here for the eight, yes, so he's ready , But but. she had another chance at this rack team, she had a chance at every rack, so you know this is a pro level and if you get a chance, that's all you want in the game. She's shooting through the corner, here she couldn't make it. It's on the side, oh, it's very far away, but look at the cue ball, look at the cue ball, yeah, and she played it in a very, very smart way, with a good weight too, so I think we'll see the tail of I jump again. she needs to make something happen here if she still wants to win this set because it's not looking very good for Christina uh in the corner instead of rising a little bit here like a little bit too much for my feeling, but oh, where's that killer ball? the table and there was a nice little daze over here I think even the 810 combo if she's on the wrong side of the seven I think that's what she just looked at you know I think she's just on the wrong side so she plays the 810 combo, i think so too, yeah she really doesn't, oh well listen to fisher, oh now it might get interesting if he took his eye off her, she'll find it disgusting, maybe try to delay that one a bit death. further right and yeah, trying to get a little bit more of an angle, so another chance for us to go two lanes around the nine ball.

Oh, she looks very nervous right now. The nerves are making noise. Three rolls here, but she got the eight and a good angle, so yeah. she can make the eight and just stun the center of the table she desperately needs these three balls oh wow she's just not on her game right now i think the nerves are getting too much a bit important semi-final occasion of a wpba rankings event points at stake 18,000 for the winner and Allison is very lucky to get back to the table, yeah I like the way she played that nice Cuba check and I don't see Christina coming back to the table in this set so it's a routine temple to let's take the first set on our first day of semi-finals here in Calgary, the Predator Women's Canadian Open, and Fisher takes the first set and we're going to take a short break and then we'll come back, like this, like this, like this , so let's just have a little analysis on that first set, I mean, it was good, give me your opinion, um, yeah, that's pretty interesting because I think Allison seemed pretty stable, but she still could have left Christina of the Hook a couple of times exactly, I think so.

It was the second game where Christina had an easy start with one, two and three very close so she could have had some rhythm and then yeah she didn't really take advantage of her opportunities in the first set so she needs a great reset, I mean, you can take advantage. The positive is the fact that she had at least one opportunity and, you know, in some games, two opportunities to get back in the game and, as you know, she didn't really take advantage of it and I think she's showing a lot. of nerves, yes, yes, of course, Christina hasn't had great tournament achievements and she's still a young player of course, so I'm pretty sure this can still happen, but this WPBA semi-final should be something very important to her, yes, and it is the first of our two.

Today's semi-finals, next noon, we have a showdown between and Being Hung and that will be an absolute classic. Can you imagine the final, my God, coming at three o'clock? Much more to come here guys, share the stream. In the whole world, no one should miss this person who is not missing much. There's also this lady at the table, Alison Fisher, breaking the first shelf in a game. Something happened there. Chanel, moved the middle cube. from the rest box and both balls will make it. I think it falls right at the last second, but again we've seen this a couple of times, causing a ball to take a shot at one and then at three. they closed the nine ball, they just crossed over and clipped the ten to the three, but again she has an angle here to get into this if she wants, I mean the three ball doesn't have any pockets, I think it could be a three six combo .

There she is looking around her. Yes, you can also choose to play a little conservative. Don't run towards the balls and if you missed, you won't see ball three. She can also play good safety behind the seven. I think she'll go here, I think she'll go, no, no, yes she is, she did, I just wanted to cut that 10 ball and oh, there you go, absolutely perfect, that's a fabulous shot, what a brilliant shot now coming from her billiards. days she's a great pool player, English pool player, world champion at that too, perfect little carom on that magnificent three ball shot, now she can run out of the shop with the cue ball raised for the four, I think she can , but you could push the 10 a little bit more towards the five and five doesn't really have that much room.

I don't think he cares about Ellie Fisher. She just knows that she will do whatever it takes to go. She can slowly roll this to wherever she can go. two lanes to try to get closer to five. I was talking to Ali after a match with Kelly yesterday and she wouldn't say she was upset about winning, but she wasn't too happy either because they are two greats. friends, you know, and it's always hard, obviously, these five bolts go, yeah, but it's pretty tight, it's pretty tight, it's pretty tight, I love it when you do it, your austin powers gold member impression, yeah, it's my favorite movie, oh this is hard. shot and she needs, yeah, she also needed to get in shape on the six, well she's got the right shape in the shape of a bass and there's some good things that can happen here in this fireball, she kicks it two rails, such Once she gets in on the side or creates some distance, she can find some space to take out that fireball.

I even go thin from the right side as we look at her and the cue ball passed the six, well she didn't hit it too badly. I just think every time she's been kicking she hides it so hard. Yeah, I think that's really one of the little flaws in her game, to be honest, about making some shots. Yeah, she's got a pretty solid punch too. He doesn't really have that delicate, smooth spinning thing, he just hits the balls a bunch of times, especially when kicking, there's a lot of feel involved, I think he's got a bit of an angle here, drawing from the side rail doesn't really have to do with it. a lot, oh, it's almost straight, well, she grabbed him and you want a kiss.

Wow, everything is going our way. Do you know how things are going? It looks like her name is on the trophy. Yes, of course, she is doing well, but she caught a little. rolls here and includes a good angle and it's a bridge shot that she's very skilled with, I think she borrowed Kelly Fisher's break, it's actually Kelly Fisher's bridgehead, perfect old double x pool again in this seven screw, yes, you could choose to play gently forward two bands for the eight on the side and from here three shots stopped for, for, for, beautiful, lovely to look at and Christina Sloteva in trouble here, this is a woman In one mission, a fisherman member of the British Empire can become a member of the list of winners in the new United States. pro pool

series

events playing fantastic stuff sponsored by predator of course and jam up with one of our main sponsors and in fact yesterday I spoke to damian pong panic from jam up and he was wearing a pretty nice t-shirt that he was wearing and I said, well,You are Looking very stylish today I said, why don't you bring out a variety of shirts like that?

He said, well, we are, so they're going to go into the other, you know, the regular clothing business that will be, uh, I like that, interesting. They really have revolutionized t-shirts, haven't they created some great designs in the pool world? Also, if you look at how gamers look today instead of before the pandemic, really everyone likes to have a nice design and a nice colored shirt they want to be part of this good community pool passion fashion is like I like to call her so dry rest again possibility of maybe a bank shot here probably security yeah I like this we're going to back up the order of two so once again now she's going to play the three Karen and this is also something where could use some work, like if I play this safety, I desperately want to be behind the 210, I'll make something work, like you can't afford to leave this carom and have Allison make an incredible throw again and run away , yeah, I think you have to play this, maybe you can put one ball on the four and carry all three to have at least a little bit of control.

That ball, yeah, I think even if you don't catch all four, you can still having her in the side, let's see how she plays it, she's played it with power, she's relying on luck a little bit, well, she'll be able to do it. Look at it and I think she's going right now right now, she doesn't know she can't see enough of him and I hope she plays opposite sides here putting a ball close to the seventh. There's Johnny, he's our shot clock guy. and he has been sitting there all week along with another lady making the shot clock and that is a thankless task that he has to concentrate as much as the players on the 30 seconds oh, this is nice, this is beautiful and here comes the billiards of again, fantastic shot.

I think we're going to see the jump stick again, she could go for the jump bench here which would result in a position between the two. I think she's had as many shots with her jump stick as she has with her game tail, pretty close to it to be honest. Yes, and that shows how good Alice and Fisher's security has been. No, she decided to hit the edge and try to create some distance and he's going to be all over this. She also opened that 7 ball that didn't go to that corner. that was Cuba was on his way up when he caught the only bolt instead of going down still a little sensitive candy to the tank a little sensitive boot although because the drops also keep moving they could have been a troublemaker you know this is a game for the purists, I mean, she's playing some lovely little shots here pushing balls here and there and that comes from her background in snooker and snooker of course, she's dazzling now around the five among the five sixes and she hit it too hard using the deadly ball you may see another sliced ​​shot with more travel, I don't think she can hold that cue ball at this angle, Christina watches closely, the secret is learning from your losses, you learn more from them than ever, your wins, once again, Perfect angle on this. five good recoveries still aren't the easiest shots, you're probably playing for that six ball on the side, you want to go to the other side of the table and usually if they try this they might miss too much, but he didn't .

She executed very cleanly. This she is in the zone at the moment when she feels good inside and that is a great feeling, isn't it when you are in your precise position, you queue without problems, everything feels easy, the white balls go where want?, there is no better feeling, even that shot just played a lovely role A little touch of just a touch with the right hand just to turn it slightly towards the seven. She really has to feel about the cue ball at the tables. You can see this. I don't really remember any shots where she left the call on the wrong end.

That seven is a little fat but it's a high kite, you can still choose to play up and down. She pulled the cue ball out a little further than she hit it, that's how she came up a little short, but she can cut this bait and come up. and back to the center of the table, let me see the rest implement one more time, I bet Hallie, I bet Kelly wouldn't have lent it if she played against her in this match, get yours, yeah, go buy it one, yes, go buy one, good luck. and just some right spin on this temple 9 ball in the same corner pocket with a 2-0 lead if you don't have your own style yet and are looking to copy someone, it doesn't get much better than ellie.

Fisher, she does a lot of things right and keeps going to zero. She is halfway to paradise and a place in the final with the Predator Canada Open. Let's chat a little about this arena we've been in for the last four days. It's beautiful here at the Cambridge Hotel conference center here in Red Deer and we saw the first viewing for a lot of people and the first tournament for the Predator seven foot bar table and it was received very, very well of course. I have the Western Canada championship. I saw you and actually videotaped you playing the other day.

So how did you find the tables you like? Yeah, yeah, and not just me, a lot of other players inside this building were like, “Oh, they really play.” Well, I'm excited that they played so well and I think it's a good thing, it's a little new revolution. They really worked on little details like the matte finish on the table where you don't see all the sweaty fingerprints and, um, yeah, that thing on the inside. That doesn't make any noise, so there is a ball return system and it's as quiet as a night owl. Yes, many players said that they didn't even know they had made a ball on the break and that they had to count the balls to check if that really made a ball, yes, there are a lot of nice details on these tables and yes, fantastic job, how does she feel here?

She's going to kick this, should she kick it? No, oh, she's got a push, there's also a kick and a stick with the lower left. covering the keyboard behind the four and the one that leans towards the eighth and the two towards the longest one, you will be afraid of the scratch there in the corner, if you play with enough drawing, you can always make sure that she does not slide alone. play the push here once a jump or a kick of course yeah maybe a jump would be a piece of cake maybe I just wanted that little extra space to queue too because it was a bit hindered by the tent and I don't think Christina do it. give this back to her, she can't kick it from behind, she's kicking the bottom left corner from behind and she's kicking the one into a pretty empty space so there aren't many balls to get lucky behind and I'm a big fan of getting lucky behind of the balls but she hit this pretty well, the speed on this one is nice and yes it tastes good in shock, the nine ball coverage makes it extra strong in the possible 110 combination and still not a bad day payment if Christina loses this semi-final. -finals six thousand dollars for third and fourth place twelve thousand for the runner-up oh, that's a big murder, did she call?

This is a master class, it is turning into an exhibition, I don't know what happened there, little joke with the public. oh I think she might have said I played it, I played it and then some guy started clapping, of course don't try to get behind the three and the five, really tough, although crashing into him was just brilliant and what he does still The best thing is that now three balls come out. so if she has the ball in her hand here, yes, she will jump to the kick here, she will jump over the three next to the ninth and it's still difficult, even though she is jumping kicking the ball, she doesn't have a lot of space and this could come up . too short or too long on a ball, oh, too close to Christina, unfortunate, well this looks sinister again, look, it's not a safe ball on the table, I mean, again, it was an excellent safety shot from Allison who put her on that trip, yes, Allison's safety.

Christina's game is also pretty locked in, that's what I meant, just a little difference in these little details if you look at Christina and Allison's game as a little more experience in safety and control of kicks with the right speed and maybe a bit of technique to get the right angle in some spots, yes, even that simple ball you just played ended up with absolutely perfect force again and it makes it a lot easier, doesn't it? I mean, now perfect angle on the three for the four and also who, of course, can't wait. To achieve this on the hill, she wants this to be done as soon as possible.

I think the only person who doesn't enjoy this match is the lady sitting there. Christina. If you're a Paul fan, you should love this and he left a good angle. on the ground maybe a little bit longer shot, but he just tried to make sure he had a good angle and on the right side of the four, not the left side, because that could be a little difficult. He can place the killer wall between the eight of them. and nine, there's that bridge I was talking about on the railing, get that q on the railing absolutely perfect once again, they're expected to just float this with maybe a little twist to the left to get you straight into that top right corner.

I don't really have to go up to the table, yeah, I called it a little thick, that was the English she had again, just maybe diverting it towards watching this catch the five dollars, don't say cue ball one bit to the Inside very well, maybe there's a small chance here that Christina will come back to the table, but I don't think so, oh, that comes from, you know, it wasn't a very good shot by Ali on the five ball, really yeah, of course, This ball could have been lost. We didn't really expect her to miss it, but she's showing that she's still human, yeah, and she can just roll the a ball or the nine ball in, just make the ball should feel a lot better if she can do this bull nine and ten.

Pretty much guaranteed, now we just stun the first game that hits the board. Christina saw Dave from Bulgaria and here she goes and a warm and pleasant applause for Christina Zlater, who takes first place from her in this first semi-final. She now she's behind two. one sitting there feeling a little more comfortable now i think sponsored by kamui one of our sponsors of course and it's always wonderful to have the partners with us we have predator signs of course kamui csi this is a sanctioned event by the wpba. I don't know what's going on in that mind there, so Christina, with only her second break of the match, started the first set by breaking still breaking from the center, she saved a big hole, the seven ball will look like the ball rolls away .

There's no shot in one, can you push this way? the white ball on its way there, simply saved by the single ball, seven balls that follow and fall, where can you push here? Tim well, maybe just to slow Allison down, she could just push the six and the five together and leave her with that angle towards the line, I think that's a really good option, I think she might have heard me, you need thicker plexiglass , yeah, that's pretty good, I use a combo, I think on the top right and Especially because how well Allison has been playing, maybe yeah, I should have done this, maybe sooner, close things out, it's an experience of learning, but he will play this drawing, maybe from the low nine on the left with two on the side, maybe he will try to shoot. the toolbar in the bottom left corner proves that she is not a machine once again and I will leave this to Christina, so five balls is now her problem.

You can't play perfect all the time like she did more or less in the first one. just a couple of little mistakes that creep in, these are the ones that Christina has to take advantage of and that's not the best of the shots she's taken there, she's going to hit the eighth beam, she can put a little jaw on it three shots to the side in the same pocket maybe take the top rail tim down for the three to the side, you could also run to the eight to have the three on the bottom left and then you have to think of a plan for the five six, but she's not happy here, I think she can cut that too and tie a little bit in the eighth, that's how I like it, I think we have a winner at one of our outside tables at one point, I think we had There are almost 400 players here playing at the BCA Canadian West Canadian Championships.

Well, she locked her in, so she tied things up a little bit here, Tim, yeah, and I like this, especially how she left those three close to the five six because if Elsa kicks this, she crashes. the five six open and maybe leaves something, then he beat Allison on this safety shot so good, amazing, he could play this soft, only two lanes, just hit the three, don't do too much like this frozen, dismiss, I thought it looked a little. a little wide and it's a chance for Christina again. My referee John Lehman performs a bit in her free time and I like what she's going for.

She is thinking that I am saving the three balls, putting that white ball with the necessary five. hitting the cue ball, even though it's too short, it's still safe, but if you want to lock up Allison Fisher, yeah, I mean, if you're trying, if you can three-foul AlisonFisher, then good luck to you, I'm sure not. It happened that many times in his career he will consider the jump here. He could also kick the three through nine. Oh, I'm seeing here that he didn't really get into the white ball, so another chance this match isn't over yet.

These two races to four with this format, although Alison won the first set 4-0, if Christina can come back and win this set, we will go to a penalty shootout and then it will be anyone she has ever seen before. I think she's going, what is she doing here? I think she's shooting the bottom corner. Maybe you would leave the four for the same pocket to hit the five and the open six you need to get out of this if you're going to try to move you need to take it on the side and try to get out of the bottom round and into the five or you're going to use the 5 6 to make the 9 is what you were saying well I was thinking maybe standing a little towards the center of the table and shooting the four in the same pocket as a three standing on the five six that's what I would have liked to play for the side I have to get such a perfect angle and I don't really understand that shot she probably would have liked to raise the table a little more and play the stopped shot behind the six and get the ball five, yeah this has Ali on two shots, uh, two thousand too, right, yes, but now it seems that the five-ball bank shot is very straight, I think it's also time to do it just because.

She knew Allison had two fouls, but I don't think that shot was strong enough to get her into three, I think she'll play the hook here, roll slowly behind the six, grab the cue ball one, possibly two cushions behind ten o'clock. Well played, well judged as a class shot, you can hear the gears in Christina's head thinking, good head, yeah, well, solid here and, as we say, I think it's a decent shot. It's not just a good shot, worked perfect, a little bit better speed on this and put it behind the 10 and the six and Allison Fisher ready to jump that five ball with safety in mind behind the ten and the six with the cue ball. oh, look at this, look at this tremendous shot, oh, it's the story of when she first came here, she didn't even have a pool cue and then at her first tournament, she was playing against someone, she asked to borrow a cue from someone and then suddenly her opponent pulls out a jump cue jumps on a ball and makes it alison stood there what's going on she didn't even know jump shots were allowed in paul when she first came and played the game yeah, still knows how to Do it now it's still a pretty difficult shot here at the six, cutting it to the side is still tricky, don't you like stopping it behind the ten?

Here, team, she was actually looking at a small dry shot behind the ten. I think that would be the best option, but if she wants to go one way, that's fine, she'll decide and if she misses, she still comes out pretty safe, amazing class shot once again, these last three balls to go to the hill, it's coming a second semi-final. up and that will also be an absolute classic, I think these two balls will go up the hill again for Allison Fisher and she has been showing us how strong she still plays at the perfect speed, yes, watch this masterclass here, straight down the barrel , so.

Fisher is in Hill Alley having won the first set as a heavy favorite now and we could see her in the final at 3 p.m. this afternoon and have a chance to win that check for 18,000 and the first trophy that she will say winner and we. We're going to take a quick break but we'll be back welcome. We see Ali Fisher on the hill in the first semi-final. Christine had some opportunities and she didn't take advantage of them. It will be a dry rest. A nice twist on the cue. The ball failed to hit the cue ball well in the center.

If you hit it with that much spin, the more spin you break, the less power stays in the cue ball, so if she hits the rack, it doesn't actually transfer as much. accelerate towards the other balls that's why we generally try not to have side spin when killing with the brake this looks pretty good oh I just caught it there are still options here ellie could send a ball around the angles leave the cue ball up on this one short top Rail or will he try it Tim I think he could play this with a soft draw and a correct spin if he gets both then the layout is quite open yeah he will try it so just a good shot here that really threatens the pocket. on that occasion and look at this 110 combo and she will definitely shoot this when you're playing that ball there the last thing you think is that you're going to leave a 110 combo yeah but there's a big scratch on this on the side pocket , she was looking for it and this means she might have to raise the cube, which will of course make this much more difficult.

I think I may have to undercut this ball for the natural angle of the putt. I watched a little bit if she hits it through the actual point on one side, oh, and then she moves really fast and that's exactly what she needed. Now it's three, two, so it's not over yet. It just shows you. I'm surprised Ali took that one. To be honest, the ball didn't have to know that she's the one leading 3-1, okay, you can say yes, it feels good, go for it, finish it, on the other hand, you know, maybe you can go too far with that little shot sometimes. tim, how do you feel about that?

Yeah, I think this is really different for everyone, their perspective on when I'm 3-1 up, what do I shoot for a player? Okay, I'm down anyway, oh, I'm up anyway, let's If I try this, I want to finish the match and the other side is fine. I'm in the lead so if I just control the game I'll be fine and I think this is a two way perspective that differs depending on the player. I feel at that particular moment on a particular shot, so, number six, second set, Christina, good break, straight down the middle, oh, there's no ball and ball, and look at that ball, oh, look at the six, Although that is still going well, there is no.

It's very difficult here, I don't think at first glance you have to travel a little, but at least all the balls are wide open trapped there beautifully, isn't it? She was absolutely full. Alison didn't look absolutely perfect. She made the odd mistakes here and there this morning, only Christine hasn't been able to take advantage of it and this is not easy in terms of many trips, now at three and then from three to four, where she needs a perfect angle to go down for the five and then back up for the six again so you need precise positioning if you manage to do this then you've got the win for sure yeah the guy did the keyboard uh he pulled the shot here for the four , anywhere, a little further. that in what's there so he can back up towards the five, it looks sinister, although for the Bulgarian there you go, the speed wants a little more fish a little straight on this, but he can back up towards the side rail for uh tim with a little bit of a forehand just to take it to the side in the center of the table, maybe don't even do this, maybe just remove a diamond, you don't really have to get close, yeah, like that, so it really worked for her. to get straight to the four key shots coming up, if this one comes in and she gets into shape on the six, everything should be complete between the seven and the ten, don't try to go around it and that six will go to the top. corner, I think so, if so, then probably play the seven to the side, if you can get past the seven, there's a bit of an awkward angle, maybe you can shoot this into the corner and stun the seven ball to the right. center pocket that might be her best option I think that's what she's looking for he's just taking that little extra time, although he's also running into the seven, isn't he, I think this was a little careless the banks, although the banks are open and if she places with a small tie then things might still be working out for her, yeah I mean it's a pretty easy bank for someone of her class, I know Billy thought he wouldn't miss this on a hundred times, five seconds left, wow, that's absolute control, wonderfully. played perfect on the eight little stun shots and as Tony Robles would say, that's going to be all she wrote, yeah, the good angle to just stand a little bit on the cue ball for the temple at the bottom left and these two balls for take the place. first place for the final, the predator managed to get the women to open, yes, perfect in this temple and overall it has been a brilliant performance.

She deserved to win. Christina missed too many balls this time and if this goes in, congratulations to Alison. fisher we will return with the second semi-final in about 40 minutes he will hang against chia chien to see who plays the final thank you very much guys we will see you in the afternoon in the finals soon and at 12 noon We will have our second semi-final between this song and Mr. Chen. Thank you foreigner.
