Very interesting video which shows how a game of pool can change , who won the tournamnet ??

[BClub]

stay tuned

[TresDiasMuerto]

Would US Open champs have a shot here or is this a whole other level?

[BClub]

5 of the 16 players here are former U.S. Open Champs. This event is not as challenging as the Open, but the match play is great and the production is top notch.

pinoys are stl the best in po0l.. A 10 yr old pin0y po0l player cn beat a taiwanese m0ney game king. He jst got lucky with orcollo.

probably snooker is not paying well enough.

You're really underestimating hundal. SVB is very good, but I don't think he would eat Hundal for dinner. Don't get me wrong, SVB would win, but not as bad as you think. Personally, I want to see SVB vs Yang Ching Shun. The money king of Asia. He raped Dennis Orcollo( the filipino money game king) by like 20 racks in a race to 60.

I think the World Pool Championships are harder than the U.S. Open. Did you see the competitions just for the wildcard?. It's brutal. The Taiwanese and Pinoys were knocking each other out. I think the U.S. should have more Taiwanese players coming over. I think they are the best in the world of pool right now, even better than the Pinoys.

[tifferdile1]

Certainly more sure that they are then that you are...

[alexholowczak]

Yeah, but the fact that they didn't get thumped in this tournament shows they could be competitive. They deserved their place. O'Sullivan moreso than Davis, Davis' manager Barry Hearn organised the tournament. But Davis got to the last 16 of the World Pool Championship a few years ago, not bad for a nearly 50 year old who doesn't play much pool.

[stevenpwaldon]

It's an invitational, otherwise Davis and O'Sullivan wouldn't have made it. Still though, they're great players and never to be counted out.

[Gabenvagyok]

really careless nine by Hundal, you cant rush the shots like that (moreover he shots with his opposite hand)

Földes vs. V D Berg plz :)

[navyaman]

these are world pool masters??? are you sure??
