pass is the logical route to take... if he took the shot and missed, it would be endgame for him. the balls are laid out perfectly... so he passed and hoped Nick missed (it is a HARD shot to make)...
He also almost made the 2, plus there's a wall of balls to hide the cue ball behind as long as he hits the 2 on the left (from his perspective) and doesn't accidentally scratch in the corner hitting it way too thin. In other words, I would not have passed. Having said that, due to the throw effect into the opposite direction, I would not bet on the 9 to go in every time either (balls really need to be squeaky-clean).
I think it was an obvious combination, but it wasn't 100% sure that he'd pot the 9 and maybe leave the ball near pocket. But agree, it was a dumb pass..

that table had a drift in it for the nine to go

Dumbest pass ever. I don't know why you would ever let your opponent ride the 9 in your place, especially when you get a safety if you miss good.

@shahkalukaking he seems, not believing that 9 ball can go. Safety is not easy indeed. But i would play it too, i think.
