2008 World 8-Ball Championship in Fujairah, in the finals. 11-9 for Souquet. Alcano ran the rack, then missed an easy 8 in the side pocket, which would have made it 11-10, still a chance to win. But after the miss Souquet ran the rack, 12-9, then broke and ran the last rack for the title.

the hit from the 8 to the 9 was thick. if it hit the 9 a little bit more on its right side, the 8 would have gone in.
or he could have stroked the 8 a little harder so there's less follow-through; but not harder to bounce the 8 off the pocket's mouth.

@darksinthe no doubt, alcano is a monster. just thinking about it constructively.

@phixxwutwut Nerves. Game shot of a championship? Might have had a mental lapse too.

He had to slow roll it, otherwise he would've risked it rebounding off the side of the pocket [very easy mistake to make from that angle to the pocket] and kissing completely.

@phixxwutwut I'm not doubting the fact that he made a mistake. He definitely should have hit it harder. Just a rule of thumb, you don't want to hit it harder than you have to. You also lose accuracy the harder you hit the ball.

@ProdigyKimXP and did you see where the cue finished? absolutely 0 scratch chance. of course ronnie alcano would absolutely destroy me in every pool game we ever played, but its still good to analyze his mistakes, even if they are few and far between imo :)
