Billiards Pool US Open 9-Ball Championship: Stalev v Kiamco

[gman21xx]

that table is sooo sexy.

[nae8man87]

the rack girl has a flat ass

[as3an18n]

God damn the commentator is annoying :p

[gman21xx]

@as3an18n I used to get really annoyed by Jim Wych and Danny Diliberto, but they have really started growing on me, along with Billy Incardona. They have a lot of knowledge about the game, they are all excellent players themselves, and you can learn something from them. Joey A is one commentator who still annoys me though.

[as3an18n]

@gman21xx Yeaaa, they talk a lot mann .... but I'm still annoyed thoo :p

[FineQZanGer]

Camera position sucks!

[edgar95035]

I like Stalev's style..much like Strickland's

[earthgreen101]

I can't stand the way Kiamco played.

[igadabla]

like if u seen the racking girls rack ;)

[univrsalminds]

It always makes me giggle when people comment with things like "that guy sucks, the other guy is awesome". The fact of the matter is both of these guys can outshoot 99.9% of the people who ever watch this video. Everyone has their favorites, (me incuded) but it's just fun and informative to watch great players play.

[TheBigkizz]

who would dislike pool??? cocksmokers

[xxdanxexx]

Deposits it. Oooh, and it bounced. Tough break.

[xxdanxexx]

its fun to play with the numbers on the keyboard when you had too much to drink lol

[martsisawhore]

Watch Mika play. Perfect breaks.

[Vapor80]

@martsisawhore I agree, he's who I model my game after. Tremendous talent Mika possesses

[VixR2]

MORRE DIABO

[Irakli1981]

They even missed that he is playing with the Pyramid Cue

[Irakli1981]

do you guys know what kind of skill he has on Russian pyramid table? he has godlike stroke, he is the main gun in Russian and Kiamco and other philipino pool stars would suck ball to have the skills he has!

[Irakli1981]

I didn't like their commentary about Stalev, they didn't even mention That Stalev is originally Russian Billiard Player and many times world Champion... I doubt if he would be snooker player they definitely would say that why did they missed that fact?

[9ballalex]

28:30 The pearl Strickland and his "wing shot"

[kofebboy]

16:17 uuuuuuuuuuuu i like....

[BenevolentKing7]

wheres part 2

[qustav37]

do you have to take down the numbers like 1 first and then 2 and so on?

[hubertandclyde]

@qustav37 Wow, you are soooo smart.

[qustav37]

@hubertandclyde wtf? I asked how you were supposed to play this game since Ive never played it stfu faggot

[hubertandclyde]

@qustav37 Oh I'm sorry. I guess it wasn't obvious from the video...I didn;t know that you were 'slow' if you know what I mean.

[lksong2041]

@qustav37 you have to hit the lowest numbered ball on the table first but you don't have to necessarily put in the lowest numbered ball into a pocket. for example, you can combo shot the 2 ball into the 9 ball to make the 9 ball into the pocket to win.

[alikemoon]

@qustav37 yes dear, you have to start from the lowest to the highest and on. and u can make it shorter by pocket number 9 but without direct hit.

[FunnyStylez]

Stalev breaks like a beast 

[12lucke12]

If you look carefully at the racking girls ass on 45:50 you can see her thong ;) he

[albernerhelge]

pff...americans... when they say "he snookered himself" it sounds like "he snukkered himself"... sounds pritty weird

[xxNilumxx]

@albernerhelge u want something weird go to the south you will hear all kinds of variations to words lol

even made up words that have no meaning like "kitten my doodle" its fun trying to figure out what it means. "Well kitten my doodle, i jus mist dat shot straight up like shuvin a corn cob up a mules ass, another werds it what'n a pritty sight  u know what i mean"

[Allanbruun]

@albernerhelge I believe he is canadian..

[chasethelightmusic]

Those 9-ball break victories were beautiful.

[idkyoo]

how much for that ball racker? the one in yellow ;D

[MrMw2gamerzzz]

50 fucking minutes???

[KralikKurva]

@MrMw2gamerzzz

and??

[msane4XX]

go filipino!

[kenlab77]

Why are these commentators so amazed by pool players from the Philippines? Its like they are shocked that they have a pool table in the country and yet alone how to play on it.

[pigdisposal]

how do you break like that, pocket like that.have a stroke like that, yet i never heard of him snap off any big tournys.

I think he must have filled up his piggy bank with that russian carom shit he played. and now he just does this for fun.

[OPaivio]

I love Stalevs' stroke.

[zsoulja786]

does anyone know what cue stalev plays with? looks different to most!

[89Slh]

@zsoulja786 ehi i know this reply is a little late but... btw stalev plays here with a efremov butterfly cue.

[matthewtonna1]

woah lucky at final

[TheSneakierPete]

Your criticism of Danny is based on the false premise that it's nearly impossible to control the cue ball on the break. This is not true, especially at the professional level, where the players have a specific area of the table where they are trying to park the cue ball each time. It's no accident that Shane Van Boening almost never scratches on the break and usually has a shot on the one ball in one of the top corner pockets. That is not luck, but a skill he developed through practice.

[ham4fun]

i dont think old Danny knows what is goin on at all in the game of 9ball.

[Zbotiman]

You've obviously never played DiLiberto. At any point in his long life in pool, he's always been a stone cold "KILLER!!!" And let me tell you, that goes for Bank, Straight pool, one-pocket, and most certainly 9-ball and eight ball. Then, as now, even at 74, no normal "joe" is going to take the cheese from him!

[3clayhill]

Sardo m-5000 tight rack is great

[longbodie11]

Diamond table looks perfect !

[Shazam3092]

the racking girl is sooo sexy.

[BurntPineapple]

@Shazam3092 45:39 you can see that the rack girl is wearing a g string

[astolfopor]

nice...

[77GETSILLY]

@Shazam3092 agreed my man .. she has a fuckin sweet ass thong on lol

[skatzi13]

@Shazam3092 i said the same thing when i saw her :P

[xxdanxexx]

@Shazam3092 i'd let her rack my balls..... mayb... yeah. probably.

[shine121]

the chick looks troubled ... the guys should smile at least when they each won a rack.... a smile goes a long way and even defines a happy loser from a sore winner...  if i were playing, that chick would be loved and appreciated (be friendly )

[brantleyracing]

why do they keep letting jim wynch commentate he is stupid and has an irritating voice

[FLipZPriDE89]

Who won this?

[jeromemao]

its different cos the fabric is made of cotton, so it absorbs water. hence there's more friction. the only reason why there is less friction on wet land is cos there is a layer of water on the ground which reduces the contact between the shoes and the floor.

[kirby271194]

highest quality by bclub

[sas1ni69]

always.

[shanedon2x]

14:27 before the names Efren Reyes and Francisco Bustamante, the first player that most Filipinos have admired is none other than Jose Parica, he was named as "AMANG PARICA" which means "The Father" and yes it is true that the leader of Filipino invasion in the world of billiard is Parica.

[lemonite1]

I read in an old pool magazine that the Filipinos learned pool through American servicemen occupying the Islands after the war. Loaded with cash to spare in a poor country, they would gamble on pool games and the Filipinos gradually picked it up. The Philippine Islands are hot, humid, and the table conditions were very poor. Thus, they learned the game on difficult conditions and thus they play different.

[deese8899]

very interesting...Americans take credit for everything!! lol

[askbob]

so right

[fullyunderstand]

the rack at 32min a lil crooked..prolly why the nine went in

[Bora199420]

14:20 my ass flipinos are good pool players fuck that SEMIH SAYGINER would kick their ass.

[hassanoof]

@Bora199420 oh yeah, so why doesn't he come and get all the money, SEMIH plays a different game. playing 3 cushion is not the same as playing 9 ball.

[KrisKustomPaint]

@Bora199420 wow talk shit and you don't even know the game.

[Bora199420]

what the fuck in the second round can he do that just pocket the 9th ball at the start???

[mannydawg]

idk about powerful i hit harder than that most of the time and i dont consider myself a powerful breaker.

[1q2w3e4f5t]

shutup u twat ..

edont bs...

i know that u cant play 9-ball for shit wanker

[mannydawg]

i can play enough trust me

[Qobe5]

I like Stalevs game style)

[matt1746]

"... general consensus..."

Ugh, redundancy.

[Goudsmit]

Does anyone know how the device is called where they make the perfect 9 ball rakcs with?

[Stiletos]

Sardo Tight Rack

[zygote09]

he's just trying to intimidate kiamco with his power break..

[lnd3005]

As powerful as his break was, Stalev should definitely have backed off, more than a little even. By my count he scratched three times. That's more than enough ordinarily to lose a match like this.

I noticed he was breaking w/ his playing cue, which seems to be one of those Russian billiards cues. Anybody know how many pieces those are? Three or four? I wonder how hard his tip is.

[apolkhanov]

tst

[TwiLightYagami]

billiards have nothing to do with race.

[Rover230]

Stalev is a great player!

[Ospreylianhero]

Jesus this Jim clown is a fucking bore. Listening to his drivel is like waiting for death. He talks a load of fucking shit too.

[phixxwutwut]

agreed.

[DonTomCorleone]

i totaly agree with you, american sports commentary sucks, apart from american football.

[kindguy420]

at 20:52 the whole less friction when its damp is about the goofiest answer i have ever heard. use common sense danny, moisture is water, can u rn faster through water or on dry land.

[Kalamouri255]

You run slower on wet land because there is less friction and you cant grip with your shoes as well and have energy to push off. So actually there being less friction when the table is wet makes perfect sense.

[kindguy420]

do you play pool? because if you do you would know that the ball runs much farther in dry conditions. ask a real pool player if you have one in the area.

[Kalamouri255]

I've just started playing so I dont know about that so yeah I'll ask someone. I was talking more about that comment on thinking that you run faster on wet land than dry land.

[pepamethodman]

Very wrong

[BartjeOstend]

@pepamethodman :-) ^^

[pepamethodman]

Very true

[Xrelixx]

cuz u just need to hit the lowest ball on the table first. Then if u ,for example, fluke another ball u get to continue. And the bad thing with 9ball is that if u get the 9ball down u win, even if its a fluke or a planned shot

[kingjameszz]

why did stalev win the match when he made the 2,9 combination? i dont kno the rules very well

[lsd161]

tim22mil-ты сам гандон! Сталев рулит

[cks119]

Compare Jim Wych's statements at 36:48 and 49:02.

Conclusion: Wych is full of shit.

[Sinimae3]

FUCK THIS COMENTATOR WHO SAID "russia is not s pool country!!!!!!!!!!!!

i live in russia and a lot of ppl play pool here , a lot of competitons were here and will be !!!

[breezethrough]

@ sinimae3: yeah, but theyre not as good as filipnos or even those in other coutnries. Sorry to bust your bubble.

[demonbre]

I'm with you... Hell, Americans don't even know where Russia is.

[Sinimae3]

Thank-you ... Comentators dont even know what they say... they say a lot to be in LIVE .... I say you all one thing : SILENCE = GOLD.... Its a russian superstition...

[Agent08rus]

He said "russia is not a GREAT pool country" - that true. Russia is not a great pool country - but russia is a pool country like any country in the wolrd =).

p.s. Iam from russia.

Я из россии - посмотрите сколько у нас бильярд клубов в стране и сколько людей играет в бильярд - вот вам и ответ. Есть куда стремиться по сравнению с той же америкой.

[lemonite1]

Russians play that game Pyramids, right? Thats a difficult game.

[azicye]

hmmmm

[HorseBrain22]

damn good players

[tim22mill]

stalev has maybe the most bad ass break ive ever seen!

[2hvy4grvty]

Up there with the Bustamantes and Pagulayans for sure.

[mcivork]

"americans were dominate in this game"

then they got fat HAHAHA

[ChrisP4lm3r]

you are a faggot

[tifferdile1]

As much as  I agree with you, and I don't think it's the reason that American's aren't as dominant as they were, I can't argue with the fact that over the years our country has grown more obese... But we are still quite accomplished in the world of pool. Go USA.

[robertus911]

After watching this game.I Would like to give the Russian player a couple of point to improve his game to show that Americans are nice people. Go back to the basics.What I mean by that is never use an open hand bridge unless absolutly nessarry. Trust me you beat your opponent because he uses open hand brigde to much. learn not to get more than 9 inches from the cue ball and at least three smooth strokes then follow through.learn to master reverse control. its easier than to master foward control

[crazypiikkis]

Russian pyramid players (like Stalev) and snooker players could teach you something about open bridges...

[ermaduk]

"russia is not s pool country" - said the retarded comentator who has obviuosly never heard of a game called ruptor with pockets twice the size of these buckets.. wtf is it with usa wankers and the misconception that only they know what is a pool table?!

[armatold]

you mean half the size, twice=bigger

[deadgearplyr]

Stalev has a Bustamante-like aura to his gait around the table, as well as his smooth stroke. I love it.

[nothingelse4u]

im filipino and i like russia more than my own country

[nerissaadicakra]

oh shit, i want 1on1 with them! i'm sure i will win the match! if i not win, you all can killed me

[phixxwutwut]

english mother fucker, do you speak it

[Dykkefan]

That kid Stalev, got a thunderbolt break. Never seen someone brake that hard before.

[booyaka01]

you haven't seen nevel break, then. the guy hits it like a bloody rocket, probably the hardest break i have ever seen...

[tagabasacloonbohol]

commentator ..i answer your question, you must go to philippines (visayas,mindanao) and find who is the first filipino know in billiard since theres no tournament yet just only a many game.

[Masterpeerke]

Im Dutch and I think Stalev is great.

[Arty0569]

I'm chinese, and i think Stalev is great.

[payraisehomemeeting]

I'm blackanese and i think Stalev is great.

[54spiritedwill54]

i still prefer warren kiamco

[wktlive1000]

those who like russian pyramid might like one pocket. lots of caroms, billiards, and safeties. popular in the u.s.

[ibraimovmiras]

Oh, pool is too easy game. Russian Pyramid and Snooker are still the best two!!!!!!!!!

[Evsebij]

I enjoyed both playing. Stalev seems to be not too much experienced, sometimes giving the cue ball too much power... but anyway.

jarik666 Bravo, you are making everything possible, so the whole world could laught with Russia.

[ioancool41]

mabuhay pilipinas!!! mabuhay russia!!! that was a great match

[denisphilip]

Russians are the biggest shit in the world you must know...

[breakcue101]

dude i was pointing out a typo. no need to take it up the ass

[nothingelse4u]

they are not gay remember when some guy decided to ruin the gay pride parade

[breakcue101]

lol have you guys read how they spelled evgeny's last name. evgeny stale ha ha ha

[Kkarlster]

diliberto was right saying russia isn't a pool country

[stefandemannn]

how about evgeny stalev?

[lnd3005]

He grew up playing Russian billiards, I'd guess.

[wikkidthoughts]

During the Buddy Hall segments, I feel that a freaking disco ball should be coming down from the ceiling with that cheesy techno music going, lol.

[linkjm]

Stalev plays alot of caroms and pyramids too. very good player. Kiamco is good also, saw him play at the recent straight pool world championships where he did better than i expected.

[AstroNico1990]

Warum haben die denn 2 Ques, man kann doch mit einem spielen und weshalb machen die einen so dollen Aufschlag am Anfang, ich kann mir nicht vorstellen das das für Que und Material gut ist.

[RU659]

bustamante's is better coz its as hard as any1 would like it to be and its controlled.

[RU659]

i still prefer warren kiamco

[cafertayar]

if you think his break is hard then you have too see mine

[dand100]

thats just the thing... no one has... winning isn't all strength

[sfleinen]

I concur with shlepprock -- awesome! What a stroke Evgeny has; a mixture of the "Keith McCready sidearm" style with the Pinoy whole-arm fluidity. And his break; I don't think I've ever seen such a powerful break -- more powerful than Francisco Bustamante's! Now if he can only control that cueball from going into the side pockets...

[ispoda]

this video was 0.99$ i think....tnak u for discount! To make pool very populiar u need to show the best game for free for 10 years at list!! When i say pouliar i mean populiar like football (or socker if u want).

[j14m1991]

populiar !!?? -- > Popular

[shlepprock]

Awesome!! I saw Stalev practice in Las Vegas a few years ago, and he was unbelievable. Phenomenal stroke. Thanks for sharing this!
