Great match, it's interesting how much calmer and sober everyone seems compared to say a more recent WSC final. It just seemed like there was a very heavy atmosphere.
@sleeplessinsale Yeah good call, although he should have played with a bit more right hand side when potting red to middle which would have left a 3 quarter ball pot on the black and therefore an easier pot.
He played for the red just below the pack, was a bit too acute on it so played the red to the middle. Didn't give it enough to be close to the black in the deciding frame of a world final. Sad sad sad.
the winner... the best player ever
the runner-up... the best player never to to be world champion
