this is a fourth round match with only one side and this is to reach the final of 32 runs off 10 balls at eight this is george taychen stand along with tony oaks hello george, good morning, how are you today? I'm doing fantastic watching these two guys fall behind, I think Francisco Sánchez won the pi, you know, as we go up, fi and get further into this tournament, those delays are getting closer and closer to the rail, yeah, it's an alternative rest format, race to eight, this is to reach the final 32.

Well it seems to me that Alex needs to work on his speed a little bit, he was only a quarter inch tall, yeah boy if he could play position the player had to play position with a quarter inch margin on each shot if someone missed Moscone was once famous for that, that's why Moscone ran 150 and now in so many exhibitions, have you ever heard of that legendary story where you had three exhibitions in a row three nights in a row and three different pool halls in New Jersey and a friend of mine went to see all three and said he ran 115 out of 150, not the second night and when he did it again the third night in a row 150 and now in the first inning he started questioning whether he was human or not and said His cue ball was so good that he could actually put a dime on the table and set up a shot and he would get anything in. that range and a lot of players do it, you know, they play in the target group, they practice with it, but we've had a good break here because, uh, Francisco, another one made the eight ball in the side pocket, faces with a shot no aggressive. the one you would do here Tony, would you come that way?

Well, you know again, every time he pushes, I always try to push into an area where he leaves my opponent an awkward angle and at the same time doesn't leave him any opportunity where he would be. to be able to bank it or whatever or make it do it, I'm not making it easy for you to play the correct position, I like to hit on the lower rail and then try to hit the one that is thin and get the cube under the 4 2 9 10. you still have to hit it right, you know, send the one ball, it'll probably come back towards the center of the table, but I like that shot there, so you like to use the rails on the right side of the table to get down, I like to use a little internal English here and cut the cue ball between the three and the four.

He can do it if he feels comfortable hitting the rail first, it's not really a bad shot. but he can also try to, you know, hit it into the pocket and try to get the cue ball under the tent instead of pushing it out, so he's going to push it out, he's not going to make the shot, you know he didn't? He also makes a lot of sense, it doesn't make any sense at all because he could have just pushed a cube out of that side, they'll put it back now, if Alice can see the cube and he can, don't hit him. thin enough to send it in front of the six, seven and five, he will send the cue ball down here, possibly behind the two and nine, or even just use a five, six, seven as a blocker, that was an interesting shot by francisco sanchez .

Francisco Sáchez is a Spanish player, he is a fargo 822, so super strong, super strong, he is 13th in the world ranking, the world ranking that we are using for this tournament, he is in 13th place, so he will be one of the players sitting in the final 32. and that's what he was talking about, about passing by there when Francisco was filming the music because the three of them would have been there and there would have been one more ball to cover, yes, around here he will have to do it if he can see the one that is completely solid. he needs to hit a high shot so the one can get out of the six and get back to the table and get the cube under the five and the seven, if he can hit a dummy, you know he has to make sure he hits the six.

To avoid a double hit on the six he is with on the way back down, the other option is to hit him fine and then come back down like this, he won't find cover, yeah, I don't think he can hit. If he had, if he had the ability to completely hit him, he probably would have taken the other shot. I think the other shot was better. These are two shots from Francisco that left a little to be desired and are rarely found. I say that about professional players, you know there's a quarter of a million dollars in prize money for this tournament, 60,000 for the winner and tomorrow you'll have a super happy player because I mean, you know the winner takes 60,000, that's a big deal, yes it's just years away from many people playing pool and doing something you love, but don't stop and think this is playing a game, there's a lot of work involved in this for this man. to be rated as he is or alex

kazakis

for example 805 fargo is 30 years old he spends a lot of time playing pool practicing working on pool excuse me not playing pool it has five difficult balls well I mean it has a more difficult angle the four ball will end up more far in the fireball than he would have liked.

I think the main thing here is to do your best not to freeze the cube on the bottom rail, that way you have options, it looks good here, these are the these are the kind of shots you want to be careful with, we've seen a lot of them torn off the rail, yes, but this is a natural shot, only if you just pocket this, the cue ball comes off the rail for a good position. the six and it's almost uh he wants to run to the seven, I think to make sure he stops the cue ball a little bit, great, he didn't even have to do it, that's great, he made sure it was a super strong shot, no I do.

I think people realize how difficult that shot is on this table with the pockets the way they are, you have to hit it absolutely perfectly, you know, and not just that he had to hit it at that speed to make sure it didn't have didn't end up shooting over seven, made a good point there, the size of the pockets is four and a quarter inches, so as the fabric wears out and we're on day four, we've seen a lot of play in those pockets. squeeze a little bit yeah it's hard for a pro player not to end this right here yeah he's going for three rails here and he's going towards that nine he's in good shape with the nine ball so and you know that and that's the The beauty of going towards the ball, speed doesn't matter as much.

You know, if you hit it too soft, too hard or just right, you're still on that line with the nine ball and look how nice it went on the line that's perfectly open. by three cushions and will take the first game of this race to eight and will have the break in this alternative break format. Keep in mind that in the final 32 it will be a race to 10 and they are in the money, the loser here will be one match out of the money, it will be this match right here in the alternate halftime format, whoever wins the delay will always break when the score be tied or even numbered, that way you can keep track of who to break it is there are a couple different ways to do it, that's the simplest, look at the score and if you're moving the coin on the table, look at the coin, If it's an even number, it's your break if you won that opening delay. or the right thing on the first game for a lot of people, but it's the third game that should break, that gets confusing too, yeah, no, always the odds are even, the odds are even is the best way to remember, that's how I remember him, Kazakus breaking looking at the seven ball and the four wall going to the side pockets, he has always had a very good controlled break, his keyboard rarely touches the rail when he breaks, I mean, look at that look with how perfectly he hit, you can't hit the balls.

Better than that seven ball went straight into the pocket. I wonder if those two stopped right in front of the three long enough to block the embrasure. I mean, the three in front of the two might have to consider doing a combo and playing both. in the opposite lower left pocket, George, yeah, that two three, like you just mentioned, let's see how he handles this. um he's looking to play it safe, he might go three way if you can get past him, but he might go for. and maybe shoot the 2-3 combo I don't know, I don't know, he played it well, yeah, well if he shoots a three, you know he can play the two in the opposite corner, he considered it because he came back and looked.

What did he look like behind the four or do I have this shot here? You know something that a lot of people don't pay attention to and I think it's very important, George, the speed at which he hit the ball one to four. Not only to control the cue ball was to control the four ball and make sure that you don't send it closer to the six and the nine creating a good group point, let's see that, oh, that's a difficult shot from that distance, yeah, Well, it's giving up control of the table and pulling me towards me has a lot to do with control, if you control the table, you control your opponent, you keep him in your chair, you keep him behind the ball.

That's why sometimes these really good players can give another player a big advantage. handicap because they controlled the cue ball, it's a good sport when you can make your opponent do what you want that he doesn't like in golf, where it's one player against the field, so let's see if he goes one way or three because if he wins . one actually played the three in the corner, that's a better shot because you can let the shot go a little bit, yeah, and he got absolutely perfect with that ball, yeah, hand ball, almost yeah, sort of, it's playing very well, he had a high finish.

I think in Arizona he was looking to get to the finals there and he was playing very well. He sent Federer Gorst to the losing team at the beginning of the tournament and we came back and he was very strong, very strong in the rest of the field, but it just didn't work out for him, I think he got a third, I think he was third or fourth in Arizona, yeah , he had a super strong tournament, yes he did it, yes he did this again, he's going to play the six on the side you need. these four to tie him on a rail with stun, right, sorry, I was going to go with the sponsors because this is really, you know, you say connect the dots and I say it's tic-tac-toe, yeah, he is.

I have a bit of an angle here, I think you can hit it with follow through and go for one or two rails and play the temple in the lower right hand or you can just draw it straight to the long rail, the follow through really leaves the ball white. right, oh, he came in, yes, yes, you know, who used to say with the inside touch and you play everything with the inside touch, we will go to a break and come back, so the opponents on this side lost, he defeated to Jose. Alberto Delgado, who are his compatriots and then Garcón Martínez from Peru and now he faces Alex Kazakis from Greece Alex is new to the only losing side he was in the winners in his two previous matches he hit those a little off center he didn't make a The ball He hit it with a lot of power, but Alex has a chance here to touch the one and put it behind the six and the five.

Well done but nowadays and both guys are predatory players so he's just going to jump with his normal son no he's going for the gust of air if he can reach that yeah it's a bit far yeah he can reach it , well for him he was about to try to jump that with his 4.5 icon, they are both predatory players that Alex plays with. the icon 4.1 and francisco with the 4.5 thanks for breaking they use our bk rushes and their jump signal is a gust of air he got his way uh last way no open shot for alex open shot for the greek give up the shot for the spanish yeah so I don't know if he, uh, if he's straight, if he's straight or almost straight, he'll play in the same pocket, otherwise he'll play in the top left hand, ooh, that was close, they definitely didn't want that much of an angle. a little surprised, he didn't consider that the next ones would follow him because he had a slight angle, yes, he probably would have ended up with less angle than these two balls than the one he has now for the top corner, well, here he will have to cross and keep that keyboard between the four and nine, which is a little complicated because of how close they are, yes, alex lost to robbie capito of the philippines and defeated alex pageline and nicholas de leon of phoenix, oh, he overcut it, he overcut it and almost scratched it , Yeah.

He left Francisco with a shot similar to the one he just shot, so we'll probably see the same move on the cue ball. In a shot like this, a lot of guys try to get close, but he's going to have a hard time getting close. I'm going to want to stay back and forth on that same diamond on that same line, so you said right English center, dead English center here yeah, I mean a little bit of right, just a little bit of right, okay, just get up , let's see. Well, he likes the side pocket more here, I guess you know, I think he was looking for a better angle to get to the four ball.

Well, the best angle would come from the corner pocket because you have to work with it. I agree, I think You could just know how you drag the cue ball with your forehand and then cross the six and get out a little bit. I think it was a shot. Yeah, well, that begs the question. Some players prefer to use the outside English to cut that ball by the rail or are indifferent or do you know some players before the inside or middle English to cut those balls by the rail and cut ballsremove. a big part of his game, look at this good shot here, well, he left it, bank six is ​​still in the bad place, but look with socket five, yeah, I mean, even if he had an angle where he stopped the white ball close to the nine only slightly.

Passing it might have an angle to shoot the five in the corner and get closer to the rail. Between the rail and the eight see if you can, you know, spread that out a little bit, yeah, I'd like to shoot that fireball, try to position, shoot that one. Fireball on the side and slide down, you can and you can, you just have to get it. Well, you know, worst case scenario, if you don't get it perfect, you can always shoot the five towards e8 and the six and leave the cue ball that you know as the seven on the long rail.

Yes, you have options. options, yes, it does and it all depends on what you believe with this here now when you go to if you wanted to move the 86 so you can get the position on the six, which side of the eight would you like to hit? I want to hit the rail on the eight at the same time to push the six down just a hair at a very slow speed and have an open shot that clears the eight. How would you like to do it if I came from where the cube is at a slightly larger angle.

I would like to go out at an angle where when I hit the rail I would want to hit the rail first, yeah, then the eight, then the cube would hit the rail again and hit the six, but it would still hit. with enough speed to make sure the six clears a ten ball in the bottom right corner oh you want to move it that way yeah yeah because you know you can't hit it the other way because if you hit the rail first and it hits the eighth the cue ball is going to hit the rail again and then hit the six now if you haven't if the five were closer you can hit the a first and get the cube out of the way and then push the cue ball away let's see how its angle he went up too much angle, yeah, he's got a pretty bad angle here, I think you won't be surprised if you try to put the cube under the eight, something like that, yeah, but I'm pretty sure he wanted to leave it, he wanted to leave it like he was in it, he just liked shooting quickly, yes the shot clock comes into play, we don't have a 30 second shot clock, I don't think I mentioned that or We've mentioned that though, the players are on a clock here in the arena, you can see that you can see that ball even if you have to cover it a little bit, are you guaranteed to hit it?

Are you going to do the trick for him? at six and eight he'll go downtown he'll go downtown he'll go downtown I've heard Mark say that a lot these last few days in the center of uptown everywhere I think the day I confused Mark was when Fedor Gorst was shooting where I was going to go between the cube, an object ball in the side pocket, I said, are you going to do a tween here? What the hell? Well, he left it pretty close, so it's not really a sellout, but it's table control. Well, what Alice can do here is make the five and shoot the six towards the eight and try to leave the cue ball behind the eight, I mean, behind the ten, is what I meant, so hit it fine and try to leave the keyboard behind the tent, I don't even want to tell you what my crazy mind was, it could be, it could be something good, I mean, well, I was thinking they were just benching the five balls to the middle of the rail, to the main rail and carry the white ball behind the tent to try to get the ball in my hand so I can get to the right five and break the six because this is of no use to me and it's hard to play it safe here, yeah unless you have his skills , but no, he is.

She opened it, she never hit it, so, uh, because he was fine. If you remember how he turned out, you could place him directly on a diamond from the rail and use the 7.9 to hook him. Look, now I wonder if he's leaving. He faced the seven and the nine and put the six ball next to the top rail, did he do it? Yes, that's what he did, but did he let her see it? He looks like he might have left a window. He crouches down quickly. I look at him and he goes for the jump signal, which tells me he's not jumping much.

He doesn't need to lift it very high being a predatory player. I'm surprised he's not using that blast of air. That rush of air is nice. cube, well, yes, you have one of those, don't you? Oh yes, of course, the storm could have had its way. I think he cuts his head off. You may not want to hit it too hard because you want to play. the seven in the left side pocket or in the corner if you decide to go for it, but if you decide to play insurance here it is difficult because you would have to run directly towards the eight ball to use it as a stopper and stop the six in front of the nine, just call the bench and that was just that I didn't have enough angle to clear the cue wall.

I'm going to go out of the long lane here, yes, he will come towards us. the long rail, yeah, no, because some people like to hold that ball and just not touch the rail at all, you know, I think, but when you shoot it like Alex did, you can let your swing go a little bit, you know, you have a very good The angle of the setup is perfect here, well, it has these three balls to run out and when we go to rest, I will encourage everyone, uh, in the chat, who is listening at home, if you are watching on YouTube, there's a like button, um. just give it a little click and that helps, that helps, in other words, smash the like button, smash the like button.

All you have to do is reach out if you're on an iPad, reach out and touch it or grab the little mouse on your computer and point it over there and click on your phone. I don't know if you can see it on your phone. I don't watch YouTube on my phone very often. Yes, you can definitely see it on the phone. I think he could have done it. I have to go up and down here, it looks like he has a slight angle on the nine ball. I just opened it and I see it at 135 or one and let's see how many come back with there are 3,500 people, 3,300 people watching. francis uh francisco sit down and alex

kazakis

make this 10 ball one game away from tying it and we're going to go to a break so hit the like button we're back alex kazakis to break the balls and guys, they were very entertaining. chat someone says I broke it twice another guy says I slap the button I like it harder than Will Smith there goes seven no tonight you've had enough breaks dry breaks at this table we have uh but uh baltimore is nice and extended in 10 balls, they are trying to make the two balls behind the one that go to the side pockets, I think on that rack, both came out high.

I've been watching balls a lot maybe you can explain this um uh the left ball will go low and the right pocket will go or the left right ball will go high How does that work? I am a little confused. Well, when you know when you're trying to make both balls. to the side pockets on the right, okay, I'm trying to make one or the other happy, usually one of the other will go, so I see when one goes down the other goes up and I don't see how that's possible, yeah, you know. I mean, I don't know, I think it depends on the frame.

I said this yesterday, you know, and it's all up to you if you're using a magic rack because when Shane is breaking through to his full potential, it makes them both, yeah, that's what I'm saying is pretty much the same thing, but I What I think it might be is that if you're a little bit to the left or a little bit to the left, you're probably forcing the other ball to go a little bit higher or a little bit lower, well I think also what happens is that sometimes it comes in and you'll go a different direction if you don't hit the dead square, that affects it a lot yeah, like when you break like three inches to the left. of the shelf, you know you're on the left, maybe the left one goes up and the right one goes down and vice versa.

Mr. David Black in the chat asks about my pool clinic, so if you go to my website tonyroblast.com, find the information we have for one of the clinics I'm doing in Austin, Texas on Sunday, May 22 and You can also find me on Facebook, send me a private message so we can try to make this happen in Atlanta. That would be awesome and we also have people in the chat who are teachers too. Feel free to write your names and where you teach. Marty Herman is a grandmaster from the Massachusetts area. I'll feel free to let Alex work to tie him up, I don't see anything stopping him, there's nothing in his way, yeah, I wonder if he's thinking about going between seven, eight, nine or if he's going to go three rails to, ya You know, the right side of the table went to three. -the wheel path hits that really, really good, just turn it down, turn it in and get on with the sex, it's just that it has too many angles, you're right, it might have enough angle where if you want to slow down you could take it along. rail or just stun him, but I like to draw him toward the long rail, that way once I get off the rail I'm going a little bit toward that six.

I think he's trying to find out if he can hit. it's full enough to do that because if you have a thinner hit on the thinner side, there's a chance that it ends up going, you know, behind the channel to the bottom rail, well, I think all the matches today are to get to the final 32 on the winners on the winners side, everyone ended up on the winners side and everyone is in the final 32. Now it's a matter of these guys ending up on the losing end so look how well you hit, I hit it with just some pure draw it came off the rail it went straight to that stage I didn't risk rolling too far that was just a smarter way to shoot than just rolling down alex not only did he look good through this rack he looked great straight into the eight brings back a little for the nine and it's practically a curtain call when someone asks what pressing the Me button does likes, as I understand it, actually adds value to the stream in the sense that the views it gets and I guess YouTube pays for so many likes. add some value to it, subscribers also hit the subscribe button, that's huge, so yeah help us guys, Tony wants to buy a new car.

I'm happy with my car, I just bought a newer car, there actually wasn't one. newer car I traded one car for another and I wonder if I did the right thing, nowadays you can get a lot of money for your car, yes I actually did well with what I did well in terms of money but Miss I missed part of the car, I got rid of 3-3 and we have Michaela Tab tormenting the balls here, she is our main referee using the predator support, uh, something in one of the chats I saw in one of the match ones, someone asked when Will the predator shelf be available to the public and I asked the question and they told me sometime this summer, so about two months it should go on sale.

Any updates on any of the matches. George updates on the matches. I guess we can give some guys some updates, you want some updates, okay, the match continues or um, well then he's going to break from the corner here, let's see if they make pockets, a ball on the break, control the ball white very well. not updating, we're running two tournaments at the same time right now on one side of the arena there's this men's predator world 10 ball on the opposite side of the arena on the six tables over there uh there's the alpha women's las vegas open . uh keep in mind we're at the q sports international expo where we have the bca national championships the world championships keep screwing that up and the us national championships going on there's 110 seven foot tables here and then there's 168 and two other ballrooms, so we have about 300 tables, that's 278 seven-foot tables for the league players and then we had the alpha las vegas open.

Now we are having a predator 10 ball world championship at the alpha las vegas open women's tournament and there are thousands of people in this room. and vendors, it is absolutely amazing here, really yes, it is something to see if you have never been to Rio during the exhibition, the CSI exhibition, you must be here because if it is related to the pool, you will find it here. there are cubes galore you have um omega billiards bigglebox uh cybirch.com so you can get all the billiards supplies you need you have predator cabin you have all kinds of boots salt poison looking around here guys uh you need your job done either way tips There are three or four uh q repairs meanwhile Francisco Sánchez is working on this shelf, he is dissecting it and he is looking to get to this sixth ball, why is he on that side looking for the sixth ball?

He wants to stay in it, I think he does. to come off the top rail and shoot the six into the corner, yeah, no, you can always do it from the side, but you know you gotta make sure you say this, his speed control is so good, the question is is he going . beyond the 10, if you don't get past the 10, you want to finish with the right angle on the 7 to get off the long rail and play the 10 into the top left pocket or at least go straight and be I have the ability to backtrack , but you know it could go over 10.

I don't know, it's hard to say for him. He's okay, he's a little off the rails, so he could play inposition to play the eight ball in the upper left. corner pocket of the hand I think it got a little overheated yeah it's coming straight back to get to the top left um I don't think that's where it wanted to be it definitely wants to be straighter than that yeah this is the time to take a decision, well, do you cut it? be aggressive or you try to leave it at an awkward angle because the advantage you have here is if you decide to leave the eight on the top rail both the eight and the nine, I mean the nine and the ten are blocking a potential bench for Alex. you shoot the safety to the center of the table at the top or you would just cut it through the rail.

If I see that the eight ball can go past the nine ball, I might get aggressive, I might do this. because shoot the corner and just concentrate on making the ball all you have to do is go from one side to the othermm-hmm, so anyway, anywhere, look how well he hit that, oh, just came, look it didn't fall out, it didn't catch on, well, it cut off the tip, it just kept coming out a little bit, it cut off the tip of the pocket and it stayed out, it missed it by less than an eighth of an inch because it catches the inside of the pocket at that speed that slides in, yeah, it could get real first here if you can't see it and then just go one two.

Three, possibly four cushions for the nine on the side, but if you can see it, it will probably draw it to the corner side. I'm going the side pocket route, how could he hit that one? George, a good shot, made sure that was the case. You, turn at the top and stay there, come down this and take the lead the first time. Aside from the first game, Alex was led, won the first game, lost the next three and it's going to go to us. We are not going to take a break after this okie dokie is going to stay with you and the players are going to take a break so we are waiting for one of the players.

I'm going to explain to you that there are eight games going on right now. and you have jonas sutto leading danielson 7-4 radoslav babika behind dennis grabe 2-4 blame barcas behind kenwood kindlin wu 3-4 oscar dominguez leads 5-1 over ali al-obadi and of course this coincides with 4- 3 alice kazakis michael schneider leads jason theron 7-3 roman heibler behind 19 year old eric roberts fight 3-5 kopini behind three for sharik syed roberto bartol who has not yet played those are the eight games in which did you get your scores update update what the score was the face off match training east 4-3 shark is ahead and here you have Alice Kasaki breaking again that ball behind the one that hits the side pocket right at point two or three times now, well, twice he said it there on his break, it looks like he has an opening shot, so he's going to take 60 seconds.

One of the things suggested is to take the 60 seconds after the break, plan out her entire rack to maybe prevent her from taking an extension later on, yeah I think she already did that. saw the boss, it's all there decided, hey, okay, this is what I have to do, this is a plan, let me execute, he must do a good job because he doesn't waste time around the table, he's eager to fix it, it's pretty. efficient, it's nice to have these live brackets where we can follow what's going on outside the arena, especially now that when we look at where we're sitting, we can look to the right, maybe see a couple of tables.

On the right side we can't see any of the tables on the left side of the arena because when we look at this table we are on the right side and then there are the tables outside the spectator area so we can. I don't see anything that's going on and this really helps us show it to you a little bit more live. Some of you might have the luxury of having a couple of devices where you could track them on your own. Brackets are available. I have been getting them from world 10 ball dot com and hit brackets and they are all live and working great, it worked for me, well francisco hasn't moved the cue ball much, he hasn't had it you know, he doesn't need to um, it is. he'll probably go for two lanes with the nine ball or one lane for the ten ball, yes, he can come out of the corner or he can go straight down.

They always told me that you better rap from the corner because you're not going straight to this corner hole like it's here so that if you overheat it you won't get scratched. I always like to go two lanes on this shot, just go for that number 10 ball, it's my preference that everything is caught just before the side pocket. and going down just making sure to avoid the side but you'll take a four to three lead. Sorry, you'll tie it four, four, four, so Alex won three games in a row to get that 4-3 lead, like that, like that. as far as they have exchanged they are exactly tied in how they won alex won the first francisco responded with three victories of his own but then alex responded with three victories of his own and now mr. sanchez won a game and leads and is tied tied he still wants to give him the initiative I don't know why what can you see the predator patch on this table on his on his shirt where am I going here Jesus are you still waking up I think you said you ran? ran out of coffee this morning, didn't you see?, you ran out of coffee, you didn't have coffee this morning, meanwhile at the ranch we had the ladies event right next to us, some interesting matches were held there too also. yeah trying to give you some time to wake up buddy Tony explain this to us while I take a nap please oh boy well let's see I mean I don't know if he can yeah he's got a pretty deep cut , here it is. a steep cup and the thing about cutting this ball is that you can't get your sku ball all the way to the top of the table where it has to be for the two, I mean it would have to go between the four, the ten and then between the four and six to get to that side, you know, yeah, I had this guy that I used to play with when I first started learning how to play and bet, he would always push into the top right corner pocket, leave me frozen on the railing and make it that clear to me because he knows I have no angle, I mean I can't hit, yeah I had to hit it back because I couldn't hit the bottom of the bucket or back up, I couldn't even elevate, see that's what it does.

I'm actually looking right now, yeah, good call, you know, I saw a shot like this yesterday where they left her long straight like that near the railing and if you're an inch away from the railing, I remember seeing Earl and there were quite a few guys. , uh, larry neville, they just raised the charge and drove back, yeah, rest in peace, mate, yeah, they drive it back, look at this shot, like I said, look in the middle, in the middle, he did the middle , but it overheated, hit too hard. Well it's hard to measure the speed he did, he did it well, but now it looks like he has room to kick it, going for the five with a little turn, with a little help from my friends, a little correct in English, that's what he calls it .

Do you try to hit these two rails? I try to hit both rails and stop the cube where possible or hit it too thin and send it into the pocket and then the cue ball down. That's what's good if you had run. right at the five, you would have left them right behind saturday, luckily that wasn't the case for alex, i think he might have enough angle to draw between the three and the four. Good look at the 4-1 icon of him that he is using. the revo axis both players are sponsored by predator and one of the things you can do is go to predatorqueues.com and take a look at the pro team that you're on, right Tony Robles?

I haven't checked that part of the site in a while, so I don't know, I imagine he would be. I have been sponsored by them for 22 years, yes there is a picture of every pro player's game and I think most of them are up to date. because I looked at it, I've been looking at it for the last few days and it shows what signal they use and it has their signals underneath and what they call things which is cool, it has a date of birth that I think everything should include I think players should include their date of birth or their age at least and where they are from and again today is my last day at 55 mate, oh tomorrow is your birthday, yeah I'm on April Fool's, oh that's it.

I was born on April Fool's Day, tomorrow I turned 56, wow, so last day 55, so now you have to say you're on the back of 50 out of 50. Sliding towards 60. I like to go past nine here, George and you. I know if I end up straight on the seven, I just make a stop shot, I throw the nine in the same pocket as the six, if I end up with an angle, I could slide it over the line in the opposite side pocket absolutely perfect, perfect, he just he stops straight, you put his q to get to the nine and he rolls down to the ten and again with the advantage oh, he came back and got on the wrong side no, he didn't, it's perfect, okay, let's go straight, right?

You know? if he has some kind of angle, he can go towards the court, towards the side pocket in the tent at the same time, let's see what kind of angle he will have, yeah, perfect, it's a dazed little trick, follow that. one of my favorite shots gives you everything you want and now with leader alex kazakis of greece three time ups world nine ball semi finalist 2018 thanks for the birthday wishes everyone I really appreciate it yes I'm a fool playing pool , but I love it. I especially want to say hello to a good friend of the New York billiards community and a long time friend, Mr.

Larry Ross, who is 87 years old. Oh wow, he was my first sponsor, oh uh, when I started playing professional tournaments. he sent me to my first professional event and that is something i am forever grateful for never forget that so larry thank you for everything you have done for me and he is the first to bring shane bamboni to new york and north strickland in New York as well as a lot of other players he's done a lot for a lot of players throughout the year so thanks for that I hope you're doing well buddy these guys are gems so let's see if it stops to tacos.

It's very, very strange, although I see him lose control of Cuba, he stops it in the center almost always and thanks again for the birthday. Birthday wishes to all. I really appreciate you seeing the dead center stop again. Look at that this time they make two, yes. the nine balls right in the side pocket that's the break you can't ask for a better break than that if he can get to that ball go to four um mister reese man mister sanchez can't get out of that chair for a moment, yeah, I think the two is, you know, under the side pocket, enough that he can still hit that long riser, do the two and come back for the three, um, overheat him a little bit, let's see if he plays the position of the short band.

This three ball we'll see what his speed is like here on the absolutely perfect pull shot. Well, I think I wanted a little less angle. He's going to have to use a little spinneroni here to get between four and five, if possible, you know? You know my friend Larry, what I mentioned was my first sponsor. He also took me on trips to gamble and gain experience. I got a lot of experience that way. Great, good times, good times, just a quick update. lost another american player against jonas sutto just defeated danny olsen eight to four dominguez has 701 more oh by d look at that little alex is sweating bullets wow dennis scribes five three on the advantages of babika barca cooling down woo 5'4 that's a good good game for barcas playing against barcas and uh, this is blaine baker they are also doing well in this tournament yes, they both played very strong very strong yes, I was hoping to put him behind under the five five there is a pretty bad position there michael schneider ha defeated Jason Thoreau 8-3 South African, this tournament expects the Swiss player to crush us, let's see with this angle if he is going to catch any part of that tenor on a follow-up shot, it's hard to say, yes, even if he does, yes hits the right. side of it, the cue ball will come out and stay on that side of the table, I think that's the most important thing, I think it will be fine, if he decides to come out of it, then that means he will go away. between 8 and 10.

Yes, you see, he is trying to hit 10 and go in that direction, but I like to follow him there all day. I'm not going to take that ball out, but he's 822 Fargo. I'm the guy in the booth. I'm making the calls, he's making the shots, where can people go to see the brackets? I think what I have here is pro pool series dot com and then search for world 10 ball bracket or you can just go to world10ball.com and it pops up and you'll see the label, the brackets header and it will take you right to it. .

Look at this shot. Oh wow, no. I have been using world10ball.com. Okay, world10ball.com. There you have it, the number 10 ball in the world. It's funny how we all navigate a little bit differently when we have different sites where we can get it, yeah, yeah, it's going to be extremely slim because on the world temple you can also find the rankings and see what the top 16 players are going to look like. Well, you won't see how they are sitting, but you will see who the top 16 players are and let's see in the chat how smart you guys are, who is number one in the world ranking that I just looked at in the world. 10 ball.com do not use it do not use thethe five and the eight because you have to deal with beating the side pocket scratch and the corner pocket squat if you hit the ball too thin uh-oh it leaked uh sanchez will bank this is aggressive he just can't wait to get to the table lucas robertson how are you doing buddy so he made the bench perfect at 5. and it looks like we might have a Hill Hill thriller on our hands is what they say in Hawaii I'm not sure I have to ask Ronnie Morris I think I'll call him and ask him is there a name that I haven't seen in these tournaments for years, yes, Rodney is my brother.

We had many good times. You know, people confused us. It used to confuse us all the time because we both have gold tees. Then one time Rodney told me that he was on the Riviera. We were there for the BCA one year, he said someone had a 20 minute conversation and after they were done he said it was nice meeting you Mr. Robles, yeah well with Rodney, do you know how much I was joking? Well, this is to tie it and us. It will be hill hill but kazakie's sanchez will break and hill hill francisco sanchez to break who goes to who goes to 30 32 final 32 and who goes back to his room to pack yes, we are at the hotel casino rio all suites everything is part of the q sports international expo all kinds of championships are held here, you know, i'm going to congratulate a guy from tucson, arizona, james leonard, who won the gold division, bca, nine ball champion, congratulations, that's good. a big feather in his cap he was on the team that last year took the team that's amazingYes my wife and I have had a lot of success over the years here, we finished second third and fourth in Scottish doubles , but we never won it, he missed the month of April for us to win first place one year and when he missed the eight ball, George. true story she was sick not because we lost because she knew she wasn't going to sleep for the next week because as soon as she lost the heavy bone that we lost the tears started coming and I had to comfort her for about a month afterward. that and I'm going to imagine that yes, it's big and I don't want to ask what kind of shot it was apparently it wasn't very difficult, it was a little difficult because it was an angle where you know if you do the figure eight there's 80 90 percent of chances of you scratching it, okay and you got it, yeah, every time you look at the scratch, Rodney told me this, in fact, he says he didn't want to do it.

He looks like an idiot missing that ball or scratching himself, that's why people sometimes miss balls, so let's see how comfortable he looks running this one because he still looks pretty comfortable with the table. It's like he's hyperactive, excited. He reminds me a little of Jim Rempe. Every time someone missed a shot, he would jump out of that chair excitedly, come back to the table and attack the table with conviction every time he just wanted to do a little good, he looks nice and smooth, yeah. He does it, no, this is a tough shot, yeah, he had to handle the speed really well here, but don't hit the 10.

Slide right for the five, take this up, you're going over the five or under the five. let me see the angle, I think here to be safe, you're better off just turning this towards this end because worst case scenario, if you end up straight, you'll still be able to draw it the other way. off the table, it's easier to handle the speed that way, yes, it went up, yes, that's what I thought. It ended up straight, like I said, worst case scenario, if it ends up straight, you could take it out and spin it past a nine ball. but you better hope you can get enough spin because if he has a slight angle going slightly to the left, then he might have some problems here and you know you can always, he can always consider it, well, I don't.

I don't think he can, he can put the six past the eight, the eighth, block the six, you know, it doesn't help if he can roll it down and cut it on the side, it might be okay, I'm pretty sure that's what will do. and that's what he's looking at, he's seen it twice, he'll be back a third time, he was going to run out of time, they have an extension, no, he's used this, wow, look how well it hit him, look, wow, did he? Did he stand too straight? It's never a hill thriller unless you make it interesting, right?

I think he just made it interesting here, made it interesting, he could have gotten sick, he had a great chance to get back there but he went too far so he doesn't have the angle to cross the table with the seven, well if he can cheat in the pocket and still get to the side and follow him to at least boost him with the seven, I think he'll be in good shape here, but let's see, let's see what he's going to do, I think you can see that's what it looks like he's doing, yeah, let's at least look at the parallel to the seven on the right just to make it a little bit easier.

Now the question is, can 10 pass? passes the 10, he will go all four cushions and play like an ape on the side, well, if he cuts it, I think he will miss the 10. The thing here is that you have to make sure you avoid hitting the nine and I think he can, if he hit thin enough with just a little inside right, nullify the nine, that's what I'm talking about, you'll see you'll have to work a little harder to get a good shot here, this is it, well your destiny is in your own hands It's just eight balls, nine balls hanging over a pocket with a good path to position at 10.

Well, this is it, this is it for me, this is the equivalent of 10. If you do this, you win the match, right ? Yeah this is a shot of the game winning man you get big wins in the game someone asked me if I had a player I could play with who would it be? um efrain, i have always loved playing efren, well, this is it and after this. temple is bagged francisco sanchez
