2011 World Pool Championship 9-Ball FINAL - Yukio Akakariyama vs Ronnie Alcano 2/3

[erickuuttilajr]

I cant believe these guys are in the finals for world championship. They are good but I wouldn't say best in the world with all those easy shots missed.

Listened to Pandora while watching... almost better than commentary... Thx!

Why Yukio didn't go for the 1 - 9 combo at about 40:00 is beyond me....

[kenshinbattousai374]

@Piano451 Many(if not all) pro tours have rule sets against that. BCA and APA set the bar, but people play more difficult rule sets normally.

Alcano told me that he is suffering from a stomach problem after his match with Orcullo and during this final match, affecting his stroke.

Nice upload but I wish there was sound even if only arabic comments. It's hard to watch in total silence.

@chrchezlafemme actually the real reason was that the sound was messed up cause site where the live stream was had some streaming protection RTMPE ( en . wikipedia . org / wiki / Protected_Streaming ) and it took so much time for me to figure out how to record stream.And after I did manage to do it I had problems with video, it recorded video 2 times slower than it should be.So I had to speed it up and in this part, that messy sound disappeared and also I found out that video size is huge :) Sry

@chrchezlafemme wah!



[r7alaqatar]

no problem if it arabic or english or even french the important thing is the sound

[aislestrikemakubex]

no shot clock? 11:40 ~ 14:39. even if yukio use a time extension it won't be possible for him to take the shot that long. Weird! cuz since the past I've watched many billiard matches and there is a shot clock most of the time. Jus wondering >_<

[darkjedi327]

@aislestrikemakubex There accualy is no shot clock on the WPC.. Some other tournaments specially the ones sponsored by matchroom have shot clocks, like the mosconi cup and the world cup of pool.

[Bilijar9]

@darkjedi327 2011 WPC 10ball had shot clock

[darkjedi327]

@Bilijar9 ok.. most of the televised matches have shot clocks, so players wouldn t take long on each shot, so the match can both fit the time frame and be more dynamic and interesting.

@Bilijar9 where did u watch the live stream? can u send me some links to watch live pool matches? thnx a lot man

[Bilijar9]

@alibok6 some arabic site, don't have link, but it was one time only pool stream. ESPN is sometimes streaming pool matches, STAR sports China also... don't know any other

[LeonFleisherFan]

@aislestrikemakubex Unfortunately, there is no sound (commentary) to prove this, but it seems Yukio isn't just taking his time there: he appears to have missed the fact that the 7 crossed the head string on Ronnie's break (three object balls must enter the kitchen, as none went into a pocket) - in other words, it looks as if he were inquiring about his options (in this case, kick at the 1 or push-out, as the break was legal).

People, what do you think about the videos between matchs? Thank you
