anyone been watching this?

ive been watching almost all of it since the start....

the tv table has been playing "easy" this year, and theres been few big breaks being tried due to this

I've been checking the results. Surprised to see the champ, Earl Strickland and Reyes already out of the tournament. Bustamante looks strong and I hope Drago will do well.

Shame about Tony. But he does well in the pool in general, being able to compete with the top 32 at least.

Holy ****, Niels Feijen sent Ralf Souquet home 10-2!

And the match between Bustamante and Van den Berg is interesting. I dunno who to cheer for! Both players are among my favourites. Django is favourite to win of course, but Nick always has a chance, good player.

9-ball is a strange game. Deuel looked to be out of the tournament but has fought back to trail just 8-9.

And Nick is 4-0 up against Django!

the winner break format makes a big difference (so a lot of the players were saying too)

It's a shame that Drago is out, but congratulations to Vilmos Földes! He put out Van Boening, the favourite to win the tournament! I hope he can go even further.

9-ball always was winner breaks, as far as I know, but what do I know?

Shame though, Nick lost, but I'm happy for Django. I love this guy.

This event last year they used alternate break, and I know for alot of other events they use alternate break

they also have mentioned it in commentary and in interviews with the players about how much a big deal it was this year
