Good morning foreigners and a very warm welcome to a very cold Michigan. It's day three of the

2022

Cyberts Michigan Open at Kellogg Arena here in Battle Creek. At the end of today, we will only be eight players left thanks to our sponsors and partners. to make this event happen cyber, it's Predator signals Q spots International wpba us Professional Billiard Series Partners kamui Alpha coin Jammer apparel and multimedia light the game is 10 balls, two runs to four I'm Mark White, it's a cool shot and make the decisions with me The booth is Mr. Tim, good morning, good morning, Michael Schneider won the leg breaking ten great shots, 30 seconds, three fouls, two runs, two, four, and if we tie after that, Tim, We'll go to one of those shootouts we had some of.

Yesterday, didn't we do a couple of good ones? So how did the table break? Well, I'm very interested to see that Michael didn't really pop the cue ball, he just went for a square shot and didn't put much force into it. there the table has been breaking pretty well, we saw quite a few runouts yesterday. I think there were five or six runouts for Mika, it was six, yeah, six, three and eight threes in each set and then he had a pair and then Jason shy had a pair, so the show said the table is breaking well, yes, Sharik Saeed had a couple, didn't he in that match against Chang?

There is also a lot of real quality. Bolt is getting better and better, so two lane kicks here, yeah, Carlo couldn't get to both. and oh, it's

open

ed up now, that's one for the archives, that box, that one, that could show up on highlight reels for all the wrong reasons, that's really unusual, isn't it from Biardo? Yes, he is a good shot player here he likes it. use the rails, but it went a little white there and fell into the hand for Michael Schneider, it's not an easy layout, five balls are still quite a bit among all the balls, there is a 510 combination to take an early lead in this first set, yes, I forgot. mention that the top ten guys count, thanks for reminding us Tim, yes the Pro Barrier

series

rules are different from the WPA rules to make things a little more exciting or you can run off the back of the store, I think, and play the 5 at the bottom left. hand corner to Tim Kenny or not or play for the combo I guess so, I think I would play for the combo, it's just that with the inside spin I'm not sure if you can really go between the five and the ten and then if you run on something you might not get there anymore, so, oh, look at this a little bit short, it's always necessary to cut back the five, oh, you want to be right behind it, right, so you can see that both balls are still feasible and he has to go for this attack one hundred percent, he will always be exhausted if he misses this, but he has no problem in the first rack, then First Blood and Carlo Biardo have had a good amount of combos.

The first 10 combos had a couple against Riku breakingen. In a previous round, I remember, so what happens comes around Carlo Biardo, everyone knows this guy very, very well. The 2017 World Games champion beat Jason Shaw in the final and also defeated Roland Garcia, who is at one of our outside tables and won 13-5. the 2017 world nine ball championship and made it to the final next here and also lost to Joshua Phillip of course he is the reigning US Open Championship champion which is next for you guys you guys will be there return to the game and then 1- 0 Michael Schneider, the 24-year-old Swiss, oh, and this is a nice break.

He did the straight on the side, a nice pop, the cue ball and maybe two balls, but I'm not sure, but he kept the two pops, and he wobbled, yeah. It seems like if it was just a shot, I could cut this, but to get to the three balls afterwards it doesn't make much sense, you can decide to maybe hit the left side and put the keyboard back behind the 10-6-8 like This, the two leaked balls need the temple to help him and there is an

open

opportunity here for Carlo Biado. Thank you. There's a lot going on at Kellogg Arena on day three.

Today will be a very busy schedule for everyone. We also have the Michigan State BCA CSI. The championships are happening too, it's like, oh, and there was a close call, there was just in time, so we're playing with a 30-second shot clock. Both players have one extension each per rack that releases the loose screens. I'm just looking at these loose ones. grip oh, that's a good shot, yes, I left myself a good angle to now go into the six ball, in fact, as if I was aiming for the long cushion, first hitting the sixth ball towards the bucket in the upper left corner, that would be ideal, yes, worst case scenario, you have the six nine. combo if it doesn't come out right but it came out perfectly what shot is that or you don't want it straight though yeah just hit it a little too hard.

I would have liked to hit it a little softer, but I think it's still okay. first he's still here, it's lovely to see any team, this guy, oh where does the cue ball go, oh, I've judged him perfectly. I can't complain about how it worked out, wow, and exactly where I wanted to be, I think because I really needed this angle. to get back to the short side of the eight, you can advance two wheels between the eight and the top ten, left a lot of left turn here, who almost hung the ball and, wow, look at this, and again, I can't really complain, since He too.

I'm not sure I'd say you got the perfect combination, but if that eight ball is yes, that eight ball is more frozen on the real than the nine, so it's not guaranteed, so hit a little harder by putting the 8 on nine, yes. good shot, good good start to this match, isn't that a good start, but also a couple of good shots here for Carlo. I really enjoy watching this guy play and he levels up on one, he's T, someone didn't finish his T. -T-shirt didn't finish the eye on his t-shirt, maybe he ran out of money, yeah, I don't think that's the case.

He has been doing very, very well recently he won the world team championship, the Philippine team along with Armit Rubling Army and Johan Chua. It's nice to have a little close up there, a little talking dust on the table, do you have permission for that? You need, you need a license now for that, you know, for talcum powder, actually some pool halls prohibit it, yeah, well, it must be common in the Philippines, oh, look at that for a break next to four and one is perfect and actually actually braked as much as he just finished his stroke.

There I was when he hit the one that surprised me that it was going to make a ball, really yes. He didn't really blow up the keyboard that big, but he just made sure he had a good cue ball in there, that was the main thing, yeah, I mean, he hit them square enough, yeah, what you were a very, very difficult taskmaster, You are, yes, that's it. He sure is very demanding, so just going up to this three ball is fine, maybe a little straighter than he would have liked. Not being happy here. I get it because I want it to be a little longer so he can cross naturally. on the other side of five maybe you can still stun the cue ball, leave a longer fireball or two rails, a bit longer wheel, five balls here doesn't have much to do with the QR, just back off a bit though and then this game is almost guaranteed, I would say with the 7 8 9 10 Connected again it's pretty easy if you can go straight with the eight, it's just going to be a stopped shot on the eight, a stopped shot on the nine ten.

I'll stop it, thanks if you want. stay up to date with the latest scores, we will report it occasionally, but if you want to go to Pro

billiard

series

.com you can see all the information you need, the brackets, the prize money, the upcoming events and voila, biardo takes the lead. 2-1 and we're going to take a break real quick but we'll be back real soon foreigners foreigners welcome back to Battle Creek and we're at Kellogg Arena Carlo Biardo leading Michael Schneider 2-1 looking for a place in the last 16. there were no balls to the side and again I just went for that square shot and nothing else and he's a shot against the one I'm here right behind, this is a gap up to the one who's so surprised because he actually has a pretty big one, usually here He can be seen making a nice flat, flat shot and made sure he has a good accurate shot, but not doing much else.

We really know the strategy behind which we really like knowing that maybe he's been practicing it before. and it was working maybe or something like that. I didn't really see him practicing the break, to be honest, neither did I and it's a good opportunity for Michael Schneider, a regular on the European tour and also at all the big events nowadays, he and his brother travel to all the big tournaments Michael and Daniel Schneider, both from Switzerland, but their brother lives in Texas now his wife is also playing in this tournament, isn't she? Yeah Christina and her brother he's in action right now at an outside table and he's playing Blaine Barcus and he's 2-1 up on his brother and he's two one down looking to level things up yeah it looks pretty okay here playing pretty fast but it doesn't look like he's rushing things, he's having a nice comfortable pace for now so we'll probably see a stop shot here on the six so he can move two reels on the seven.

Yes. I was talking to Daniel yesterday and he openly admits that Michael is slightly better than the two brothers. Would you agree with that? Yes Yes. I think so. I think Michael has put in a lot of time over the last two years. I think he has played against a lot of good players in Europe. He's actually been trying a little harder than Daniel for a while. It's no wonder that at one point you grow more than the next, it's just that that's how it works. Good shot on seven was always guaranteed to be on 8 if he made it and here we see a little daze. the rail and a little stop shot just to get off the rail here on the nine for the top pocket of the tembina to level the score for each one, now you can do all the practice you want on your own, but it's a matter of putting in the effort whatever you want.

Let's say, going to these tournaments, that's what really gets you in shape, so to speak, and says: we're at level two, two. You know, it's hard to pretend like you're playing against someone or, yeah, you don't know what to play. What's expected is that when you play someone you know, if you just practice alone, you're in complete control and you can't be in control. If you play guys like Carlo or Jason, you're going to be in places you don't. I don't have any control and you still have to make sure you stay calm in those moments, you know, and that's something you really have to work on, it's a big investment, but in the long run, if he continues to do this, then I mean , yes, eventually it has to convert. a good player that's how he usually is yes, he has a very good temperament and he is also very relaxed, very calm, you don't see it often, sometimes he does.

I've seen him explode a couple of times, you know, he just gets it. a little angry, he closes the tail or something, but then who is he, who isn't, who isn't, you never do that? No, I mean, everyone gets angry at some point. I mean, that's what the game does. Sometimes you're so laid back. you're almost horizontal, thanks, so it's not a bad break here, just if you look at the one that's super close, it hits the point three times there and didn't make any other balls, so it leaves an open shot for Carla, so wait for Michael be behind the sixth ball here. when he comes back to the table like that, oh wow, what a sight, it's just a strong shot that she can jump, although isn't it over the edge of the six?

It just depends, is that six ball still in the way if the six post is there. still on the way, can't skip if it's leaked enough, what options do you have here? Well from my commenters point of view it looks like the six ball is blocking the jump so call the one next to it kicking a railing, yes he is playing with this. with the bottom to straighten it a little off the rail it's a good hit and it's lucky behind the eight that it certainly has look at this look at this wow Carlo biardo comes to the table taking off his head come on Carla, you've had your fair share is that sometimes I would roll, that's also something like on the other side Carlos should be happy to come back to the table.

You know, I've seen much worse. I've seen people kick balls and do them by accident and walk away. They themselves are perfect in the next shot, like they have a lot of time, so yeah, as long as you have a shot, you can't complain, right? So a chance to get a ball here, yeah, well actually, a good try by Carlos sending the cue ball routes. at 649 to try to get lucky and quite unlucky to kiss the four twice and get him back out, so here's a good opportunity for Michael to maybe go up the hill against world team champion Carlo Biado, the local Jeremy Seaman, three nil up in his match against Jeff Cole going well, the Michigan man, oh what a beautiful shot, a little knock on seven makes it even better.

Look at this foreigner, there are no women playing when their matches start today at noon and at the end of today the women will be there. until the last four now play for the combo at 4-6 here this looks pretty good it's good to be careful now I think you can play this pretty straight andboy, oh boy, the future doesn't look good for you Carl, I'll be out of the break here, let's see, there's a little more, put a little more in there like this, hey, look at that six-ball, oh, nine-ball pot, oh. I did the ball on the side even though the eight ball was the eight ball I think it was yeah he did the eight that's what I really wanted him to do I know he has this break so I wasn't sure why he wouldn't do it maybe just has been saving energy it could be and it looks like one more goes in the top right corner you can't really play this with a comfortable speed and you don't want to catch the cue ball behind the 5-4 top left maybe it goes to the center of the table make sure you overshoot rather than fall too short no, we held the cue ball.

I like this better, launched it on a cold morning and on a cold morning you don't want to rev the engine too much and start too fast and let it warm up, gradually increase the speed and that's exactly what Briardo did in that lull. Kenny maybe crashed to the ground. I just missed all four and went for two rails, well it's in no man's land. The difficult shot coming in found a good line on that ball. Too soft and up to this bottom right corner, I think up, down, left, down, left on Cuba and I go long, very short, back to the center of the table , oh, you're right, wow, wow, you held it tight, I shot there, real hard, right in. the heart of the pocket and that's exactly how he shoots the 10 pin shot just like that and this was the key shot because if he could get perfect on this ball five to the side he could just go straight to the six and the seven and then it would be well and it looks like he has a little angle so now he can still get close to that damn ball or this will be a very flattering line if he goes 3-0 here because Michael Schneider had had his opportunities Tim and he just haven't taken them that was that very long pause on the cue ball I tried that I tried to introduce that into my game I just couldn't do it yes I have a little back pass but not so long as some players just have a little work to do High left on the ball white here to go up the hill oh, this is a nice nice shot around the back of the store, the patio on the hill and we're We're going to take a little break, but we're going to come back with a conclusion to this very game , very soon, please, foreigner, foreigner, win this rack, he will win the match, yes, and he did not find the square head in this, so last chance here. for Michael Schneider to start in this second set.

Beardo, to be honest, he hasn't broken anything well, yes, he really has some things to figure out this day. Yes, this is a losing side match. I prefer to call him the loser of the b b side match. It sounds very negative, but hey, this doesn't look good for Michael, yes, Carlo actually lost in a shootout. I think for Raymond Linaries, wasn't it? No, no, no, for the shark Syed, yes, yes, exactly, and he entered the arena, he didn't lose? for Chang it was so brutal that he was watching the shark clean all four of them and then Carla made three and shot the fourth one and hung his temple like it just rattled in his pocket and stood there really on the edge of The bucket that was was A little disgusting for Carlo, but that's how it goes.

I can remember in Austria when he was absolutely crashing every 10 balls and I remember saying in the commentary with Ralph Eckhart that when he's not 100 accurate, about that he's just going to wobble and wobble and wobble, yeah, and that's what you You say, that's what happened last night, yeah. I've never actually seen anyone hit the shot as hard as him, yeah, so making this quick play here I'm always hitting. the table wants you to slow down, oh, lining up on the eight, if he hit that fireball, it would be over or at least that's how I felt about it.

Now things get difficult because if you play stop the spin, you will encounter the seven. which I think is a good option, he always has six in the bottom left corner or maybe on the side, oh, beautiful shot, but he goes to the side, doesn't he? Yeah, I think he can still cut this, maybe let's play this with outside and let's go. three wheels around can also cut this with the inside, yes, a really short reel, yes, which I like, but it makes the shot more difficult because the wall of six will move more to the left.

Good shot, now he just needs to play the right angles because he still needs to travel. 9 to 10 Center table here looks good, it doesn't look so good, yeah, Michael Schneider, this is perfect, Tim, right? This is absolutely perfect and we have another game at 12 noon. Tim will join the commentary Booth from John Francisco from New York, yes, this nine ball, if you get up on this stand, it lights up, it seems perfect to me. Carlo biardo with Istanbul also beat Michael Schneider 2-0 in sets and he enters, yes, and he enters, and let's go. Thank you very much for joining us guys, we will be back very, very soon with the next game.

I have been Mark White and who have you been today. See you soon, thank you Orchid table 10. foreigner.
