Pro Billiards U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship: Mika Immonen vs. Nick Varner

[ashcroft8]

Quit smacking that Gum !!!!



[LeonFleisherFan]

It's too bad we're never going to see a match-up of today's young guns with the legends of the past at their best - IMHO, nobody played better all-around pool than Varner in his prime (of course Efren Reyes springs to mind, but he's no spring chicken anymore either).

[greekstud21]

i swear mika and 5 balls DO NOT get along!

[gerballack]

im with eminem

[xxEnzo96xx]

this is a nice match thank you

[OneBloodBrotha]

See what he did? o.O

[Gsitz89]

Isnt it a little ironic that the commentator said that Varner is the only person to ever win the title back to back. Little knowing that his opponent will be the only other one in the years to come.

[slipnslide]

@Gsitz89 not only in years to come; this would be the first of Mika's back to back US Open wins

[AL39AB]

lol 57:00 the fans

[Monatee]

lol varner made a ton of mistakes

[TheNecador123]

nick varner is legend

[zzzthaoster]

wow nick varner truely played like a master.

[B16bitch]

lol @ 57:10

[FuckAr0uNdAcc0uNt]

@B16bitch LOL! what the hell was that about?

[lemonite1]

I think these are the only two players to win the U.S Open back to back.

[datang1]

If efren approaches the table at 37:21, i am sure he will go for a 2-cushion kick and try and make the 9

[ihcug90]

@datang1 just to clarify; right cushion, bottom cushion, off the one, nine in left side pocket? i cant see any other way >.<

[BloodyFingerz]

that fucking guys always chewing gum..

[ihcug90]

@BloodyFingerz to help him concentrate

[datang1]

If efren and nick get locked up in a tactical battle, who will win?

[ihcug90]

@datang1 bata reyes! varner is good, but he's not a magician XD

[Larrygallis]

I can't imagine what I'd do without this channel at work, oh yea, work...lol

[48brianm]

great vids cheers

[ham4fun]

great channel, should start showing some wheelchair billiards on here sometime. some really good players in it.

[yoyoyojeremy]

this channel is awsome!

[jheizer2467]

Watching these, helps me with our play as a team in APA! I am the captain of the team and have chances of calling time outs to help my players win. Varner made some shots that just didnt help him and could have taken an easier rout. That is y i call time outs for my players on team. GREAT MATCH TO WATCH TY :)

[diablogf]

They had the whole conversation about where Mika was born, and played snooker on another match up. How many times are they going to colour the commentary with the same stuff? Dilberto is probably senile and just can't remember those details anymore. I love how Dilberto describes every shot with surprise and then claims the shots were not accidental.

[parazitul84]

if the one who uploads creates his account as a "director" or something like that he can upload videos of up till 1 hour in length

[brownbuttbaby]

@parazitul84

well i also seen a video that went on for 2 hours and about 50 min

[smeade3760]

this bullwinkle sounding motherfucker is an idiot

[brownbuttbaby]

wtf i though utube was limited to size and time for videos?!??????!??

[Candyman757]

@brownbuttbaby not here I guess lol

[piquenrique]

is mika that guy from the movie poolhall junkies, i haven't seen that movie in a while but it looks like him to my knowledge.

[wildnine00]

no, but they do look alike.

[Albinario]

@piquenrique hehe no that's not him - that guy is the guy who plays lex luthor in smallville - michael rosenbaum or so

[forlyfebmx]

um no thats not him!!! mikas to good for that movie

[pigdisposal]

no and the movie was a joke.

[bigluli93]

awesome match

[matthewtonna1]

no we cant dude

[bryancarey100]

sound and video keeps going on and off

can you help me

[blueiseverything]

download it using real player and watch it as a flash video.

[streeetfighter]

Never been a Match where this Old Woman didnt mention Kentucky

BTW: Mika is My Favorite Player

[isaac0615]

this is a good teaching video!!

we can learn more skill on it

why there is no taiwanese reply this??

[hendrik04]

why cant these commentators just say snOOker instead of snukker?!

[rish000]

yea hahah

[phixxwutwut]

why cant you lighten up snooker geek?

[ashleysdad1]

Love how the announcers clash alot....like 42:17 one guy saying 'dangerous' (position play) and the other saying 'never a doubt' (refering to intended position)...too funny

[jskeen23]

Just a little useless info, when danny says never a doubt he's being sarcastic. He also says that when a ball stops in front of the pocket and dribbles in. Like never a doubt but there was alot of doubt

[Carlosgtrsnk]

@ashleysdad1 saying never a doubt is a form of sarcasm

[SimpVeggie]

@ashleysdad1 Actually, the other guy was simply agreeing with the first guy as in "no doubt you're right". If you look at the context of his gasping as the ball is rolling, it's clear that that's what he means. No disagreement there.

[ashleysdad1]

Nice prediction Danny at 6:07....sheesh

[Merajka]

30:12 How the fuck can he be snookered, with only 1 ball remaining on the table?!

[ashleysdad1]

He was saying that the ONLY thing that 'cant' go wrong is that he cant get snookered....lol

[virgayL]

No, he didn't.

He just prayed that he won't get snookered. And he can be snookered with only 1 ball left - that is when you can't take a shot from this position. He was lucky that he still had a thin cut left.

[Beretta9tt]

There's a great 11-10 Mike Sigel v Nick Varner match from Accu-stats.

Nick Varner is one of the great representatives of pool people forget that he's won everything there is to win.

[ReFLeXzZzZz]

WOW 36:30 was an amazing safety dam he good

[s1llyvi3tb0i]

varner's attitude is almost the same as Earl... sigh...

[jburkhammer]

Varners a great guy. Earls a jerk, I fail to see the comparison.

[s1llyvi3tb0i]

lmao, look at his face expression at first and when he misses the shot. WoooW that's so great

[iverson246]

i just watched this whole thing lolz

[svnrf]

is hilarious at 56:42 the way danny and jim say " tutto finito" ahaahh horrible accent

[sanydman247]

Thank you so much for the videos. Keep them coming!

[drewfla]

What a fantastic safety from Varner at 36:30! Awesome

[zygote09]

looks like varners struggling with his stroke.... hes the turtle in this race that doesn't win.

[david9639]

fuck off guys. Danny and Jim are great commentators. love danny's funny stories.

Don't like Billly Incardona 'cause he overanalyzes and narrates each and every shot.

[drewfla]

I agree, I don't like Incardona either for the same reason. "Notice how he brought the cue ball around the 7 in order to get the proper angle on the 5 into the bottom left hand corner. It was imperative that he get the right angle on the 5 in order to go back up table for the 6. Very good shot."

Dude, shut up! The people who watch billiards understand enough, we don't need a 30 second analysis of every damn shot. I like Danny a lot, he's funny =)

[sanydman247]

He's just doing his job, be nice please.

[dand100]

I just don't understand why they continue to employ Danny. He's just awful as an announcer. He makes some of the most ludicrous comments.

[fastballonly]

Danny second-guesses the players a little too much. Billy Incardona does a much better job at explaining the table and entertaining the viewers.

Also, Jim Wych's Canadian accent is so obnoxious, with the twirled vowels.

[123ralle]

:D

i was close with my bet....

immonen is a beast when he is on a run.

still i got to mention that the world-bank-capitol is not kentucky, meanwhile it is herne, germany. :D

[nicetryasshole]

35'02'' "u can bank 1ball between 6 and7..." WHAT A STUPID COMMENT - old american moron.

N.Verner was good 20 years ago, now he sucks

[dand100]

Danny's a moron... but in his defense he's referring to playing the one, bank between the 6 & 7, snookering the cue behind the 5. He wasn't proposing the the 1 could be potted.

Never-the-less.... Danny's an idiot!

[Billiardfan5]

Correct.

[123ralle]

ok. here is the deal:

i scrolled down to see no spoilers.

i am at 5:45 cause i did not know if they play to 9 or 11 or whatever. :)

my bet is:

immonen wins 11:7

cya in 1 hour. :)

THXX4UP BCLUB.

[LeonFleisherFan]

Not quite the Varner anymore I used to know in terms of unforced errors, but one can still see why he has always been considered one of the most intelligent and creative players. Interesting to see he doesn't dare stick to his soft break once his opponent's on the hill - natural impulse to want to wack them with one's back to the wall, I guess. Immonen is his usual solid (and still youthful) self, of course. Thanks for uploading this!

[CalebChrisMabry]

omg, Nick Varner is soooo slow

[isoa666]

Thank you so much for these videos from finland!

[noesilloz]

sorry, but what is the problem in the break of rack 6?

[orko119]

He was questioning a rule that normally is in effect during tournament play and that is for it to be a succesful and legal break, that 3 balls have to pass the head string after the break. It prevents someone from soft breaking.

[noesilloz]

Ooh thanks for the response.

In this case it was a legal break because 3 balls passed the head string.

[ShadesDallas]

No, it was legal because they didn't have that rule in this particular tournament.

[SteppenwolfGR]

Anybody knows why i get an error message saying an error has occured - please try again later?

[wolfie5458]

exeis kai sy provlima me to video?????

[wolfie5458]

have you also problem with this video????if you know why pls help me too!!!!

[nathanrh]

Great format. I will support the sponsors because they allow us to watch the match without interruption.

[MarkOates]

Geez, I can't adequately express my gratitude for this channel.

[nathanrh]

Thanks. We don't see much of Varner these days, so this is a real treat.
