I really enjoy the camera angle and lighting here. Nice graphics and laid back commentary.

[@lazarosification]

Best poolplayer in the world , 🌟Dennis Robocop Orcollo 👌

[@lstone234]

Daniel and Nelson . Would love to meet you guys in person. I am not a pro. But have loved and played the game for over 50 years. Good job guys. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@nelsonsilva3127]

Next years west coast swing pass by the both and say hi. It's always nice to meet people that share our love of pool.

[@lonniebiz]

Love the camera perspective here.

[@lstone234]

Boy the wooden racks are hard to get a tight rack. I like the magic rack. Tight rack every time.I have no favourite. But Mika has a really short fuse. Gets pissed a lot. Dennis rarely shows any emotion. I guess that is how he got his name. Robo Cop. Also commentary is great guys. Thanks so much for the upload. No complaints here. Keep up the good work.

[@hardway_6823]

Other than the obvious fact that this is a great match featuring a pair of true titans and playing in a great room, I really appreciate the commentators here in this case. So many times folks complain about match commentary, but Nelson Silva has such a great understanding and interpretation of the match - pretty sure I've watched a few other WCS matches with him and Daniel Busch too, and not to take anything at all away from Daniel - but I think Nelson's calls and the way he 'gets' the game in general adds a lot to the enjoyment of watching a great match like this. Just sayin'

[@nelsonsilva3127]

Thank you so much Hardway. It's seldom you get positive feed back. Being in the booth with Mr. Bush, is an honor for me. I'm far from being a pro commentator but I'm grateful for having an opportunity to get in the booth with him and learn from him. He's the real deal, very nice person and knows the game really well. He multi tasks like crazy while doing matches. It's really incredible to watch him work. I will say also, it's really easy to miss speak during a match. All commentators in the booth try their best to make pool enjoyable for all. I shoot pool at CA billiards in Fremont, if you live near by please pass by I'll buy you a beer. Thank you again the Grasshopper!!!!!

[@charlotte240]

@23:23 , Mika should have been called on an unsportsmanlike conduct action after flicking the chalk onto the felt with his cue after he missed the 9ball shot. I guess this is what happens when you don't have any referees?

[@chrislawson3598]

Love these videos!

[@harryallanmesimaki4171]

Thanks for the ...Good Game...and to...commentators...I liked :)

[@johntate9647]

Daniel, the rest of the commentators across this country should take lessons from you on how to do it right. You're superb. Box is the worst.

[@stevesawyersdca]

I dunno... Personally, I find this video is a lot easier to watch with the sound off. I've never seen commentators who "do it right" find as many extraneous things to talk about while the game's going on as these guys do. Reminds of two guys yakking in a bar after work - and, oh yeah, there's a fairly interesting pool game going on over there.

[@davids11131113]

Whatever happened to Box anyway?

[@SQ_og]

Box has a great grasp of the game. Not sure I agree with tater.

[@lstone234]

Mika is very un professional. Act like a pro for crying out loud. This is why I don't like watching him play. If things do not go his way he is like a little kid. Shaw is the same way. Grow up guys.

[@gavinennis4230]

Jim Kane he is a bitch checking racks and arguing about chalk being left on the table

[@Bibhor4]

Yeah he sharks other players a lot too apparently.

[@walk50]

That's why mika has only won the world championship one time lol hahahah well world 9 ball any way

[@charlotte240]

@24:50 , an unsportsmanlike conduct call should have been made on Mika after he smashes his cue tip against the felt because he scratched on the break. A referee's warning may have straightened his behavior out. It is no fun playing someone with this attitude, even though they cause themselves so much distraction from the game by doing stupid sh!t and lose because of it.

[@rudynarciso3554]

Mika, good as he is, tends to be grumpy whenever he's behind!

[@joelbrenzuela]

mabuhay!!

[@fielnixful]

these are the pocket size on which pros are supposed to play. Real tough and good

[@lstone234]

Great point Frank. I agree.

[@billycheng6729]

wow! how tight r the pockets? they're playing safe on shots that they usually go for.

[@chrischung7204]

Dennis so good..

[@stevenm6200]

Temper temper, either it makes you or breaks you! Most of the time it breaks you!

[@charlotte240]

@1:07:20 awesome shot by Orcollo (ORR COH YOE, say it with me now, announcers)

[@irvingtrevino3982]

Big boys table

[@TheBogardman]

mabuhi ka bai !

[@billycheng6729]

you can literally see the xtra shins attached to the pockets lol...but brunswick is still much easier to pocket balls, if it was a diamond with the same shins it would be much much tougher...the lip of the pocket on diamonds extends another 11/2 inches into the pocket.

[@Kentucky_Blue]

Billy Cheng i tried playing on Diamonds for about 2 years. The tightness is one thing. But the deep shelves on top of that I just can't take them any longer. I'm back to brunswick and enjoying the game more.

[@jameschristos5012]

There is a roll on this table. Check out at 16:05 ball hits off cusion and then rolls back on it.

[@rolandmeece2542]

you can see it roll off on the lag

[@lstone234]

How does a person give private donations?

[@SQ_og]

Did you figure out Mika's trick, Daniel? :)

[@esalaukkanen5233]

Mika 💪

[@vicluevano1222]

mika cant beat Dennis Orcollo on his best day

[@billlawson7892]

Daniel should use only sign language

[@TheJohnCooper]

Who's got the Corey duel chalk video

[@JongYoo]

John Cooper instagram.com/p/BTaXkcpl-X1/

[@dannyberkabile265]

Mika just missed the 4 ball, his third miss and I replayed his shot - he didn't hit the corner of the pocket, he hit the pocket right. It's the table that defeating Mika. Dennis also missed a shot the same way. These tables should not be used in professional play. In fact, they shouldn't be used at all. So now we have a boring alternate break game with very good players missing shots because of the table. I think I will go to bed - way too boring.

[@getezra1]

Where is "i" in Orcollo?

[@rogerscottcathey]

Spanish pronunciation. Like in La Jolla.

[@azulaguila4289]

Touchy Mika swipes at the chalk and loses game 5.

[@tdec20]

Orcollo still play with Tiger cue or Meucci one?

[@johnhernandez4734]

Tan H Bui 2012 his contract with tiger ended after July. He is shooting Meucci now

[@tdec20]

John Hernandez thank you

[@johnhernandez4734]

No problem. He shot better with a tiger. Just my opinion. Had he not switched mid way through, he would have won against Tony twice not just once.

[@awaheed2649]

Did anyone find the other commentator annoying? or is it only me, "the little tip tap" guy. He commentates on most of the derby games I suppose...anyway great game to watch, can watch these tight pockets games anytime.

[@michaeltrumph121]

Is this table a 9 or a 10 ?

[@cueball3285]

Is that you Earl?

[@michaeltrumph121]

Nice joke. Actually, the reason I am asking this is because they've missed quite a few balls in this match and players of their caliber don't usually make that many mistakes.

[@p8ntballer322]

Looks like a 9ft gold crown with super tight pockets ~3.75in

[@p8ntballer322]

Maybe 3.875in....

[@michaeltrumph121]

+Nathan Kaufmann Thanks 4 the info

[@sodi4069]

Daniel Great commentator the other guy bad :P

[@mervaldez3025]

Daniel, what size of those pockets?

[@bripi244]

the video stated that it's less than 4 inch, which is brutal

[@donniecarrascosr.4098]

I thought Daniel said 4 Inch Pockets.

[@Kentucky_Blue]

homer valdez small but normal ledge not the deep diamonds that hang.

[@Sakrich]

Now these pockets are small.. snooker sized

[@davids11131113]

Same as we play on at Felt in Denver a couple Diamonds and a GC3 tightened to around 4 inches.

[@vicluevano1222]

davids11131113 on this table they're 3 and 7/8

[@HobTechTV]

does anyone know what is mika's Shaft and master tip ?

[@minhken5229]

mezz cues

[@enricokohler475]

looks like Mezz AXI-N, but the shaft doesn't look like WX700 (shorter ferrule) - it's tough to say, maybe WX700 with shortened ferrule, or WX900 oder Hybrid Alpha or EX-Pro

[@johngraves1216]

nelson has some serious pay attention deficit, neither play used a break pad for the entire match .

[@JongYoo]

Link to said Mika chalk under the table video. instagram.com/p/BTaXkcpl-X1/

[@mescellaneous]

the frustrating thing is not about chalk on the table or not. it's about if the chalk belongs to somebody, and you have to basically 'remember' that you can't/shouldn't use it, or maybe it's shaped weird. and because of that nuisance, it's pretty damn rude.

[@afccpaf5643]

MADAYA SI IMONEN MASYADONG MATAAS ANG SET NYA NG RACK..KAYA AUTOMATIC NAPASOK TWO BALLS

[@dannyberkabile265]

I was all exciting to watch a good pool match by two very good players then learned it was alternate break. What a disappointment. Alternate break is boring and focuses on the mistakes the players make to give the table over to their opponent. Winner break is much much more exciting to see a player run multiple racks. It's the game 9 -ball has always been. I just heard one of the commentators say it was voted by the players to be alternate break probably because there were so many amateurs playing. Alternate break is better for the poorer player because it is no fun to just sit there and watch a better player just run racks to the finish. However, it's the fans watching and bringing in the funding making it possible to have the tournament in the first place. They should be considered first and not the players. The NFL, NBA, baseball, bowling and other professional sports run their programs this way to please the fans more than the players. Finally, I wish the commentators would quit visiting, talking about who they know, where they've been and other unrelated things such as stealing chalk off the table and more insignificant trivia and focus on the game while Dennis and Mika are making their shots. As a fan, I want to hear some commentating about the game at hand.

[@yoberret770]

Unfairly small pockets

[@genghisk4808]

whine much

[@lstone234]

Mika has a bad temper. Totally unprofessional. Kicked the chalk on the table while Dennis was getting ready to shoot. That should have lost him that game. Dennis won the game anyway. Go Dennis. He got all pissed. But he was the one who missed the ball. Grow up Mika. Your supposed to be a professional.

[@scottbranson7872]

He asks people to take the chalk off the table when they're done shooting, I'm not sure he's owed that. That's your thing, Mika.

[@lstone234]

The one thing I dislike here is your making excuses for Mika. He is one of my least liked players in the game. I seen him trying to cheat Dennis in a straight pool match. And the ref called it. Good for the ref. I lost all respect for him in that match.

[@historygourou]

Jim Kane what tournament was that?

[@felixso1948]

could u post jim kane the link cause i wanna see that game u said.....

[@JM-zm6fl]

Just my luck, first time I see Mika wearing shorts and the light is too dim. ;-)

[@lstone234]

And hey Daniel I will commentate with you for free when you are in Las Vegas.

[@donniecarrascosr.4098]

English is Probably NOT Nelson Silva's 1st language. Bad grammar, Saying: The pressure...everybody in this room is intense watching this shot? WRONG! Everybody feels tense or feels the tension... not being intense!... Duh. Mutilating our language hurts my brain from such ignorance. I love the match but poor communication/rambling takes away from relaxed viewing. { By the way... Daniel: At the Beginning of the match you pronounced Denis Or' Cullio?... Cullo in Spanish is the Butt-Hole! so be careful, somebody could get angry! } As least enjoyable watching Mika's skills at work. Thanks.

[@nelsonsilva3127]

English probably isn't Nelson Silva's first language. Everyone makes mistakes Donnie.

[@POVPOOL]

I'm not worried about people getting angry. And, Nelson did a great job; I'll stand by his performance. When people are volunteering their time to help us out, it's really not polite to be too critical. Maybe you should consider that also.

[@nelsonsilva3127]

Thank you so much Daniel, your a good friend.

[@josephdevito9090]

Donnie. I dont think the majority of viewers would agree with your comment. These guys do a great job and considering that our sport has suffered over the years and pool on tv is pretty much extinct, having live streams like IS ENJOYABLE, even with what you call rambling. Announcers in all sports ramble, tell stories, get emotional. In fact, many of us would agree that is what makes the commentary so "colorful" and nice to listen to. Pool can be boring SOMETIMES, but when matches get exciting or a shot doesnt go as planned and the announcers get into it etc, that is awesome commentary. Not sure where you live or what you are exposed to but we do have good streams in NY and I will tell you that these guys do one of the best jobs I have seen on the web. Regardless, the fact that this is mainly done by people volunteering their time or getting paid small peanuts compared to the amount of energy it takes to consistently talk hours and hours should never be criticized but supported because if all viewers were like you it would eliminate pool from the web. Keep up the good work Nelson and Daniel.

[@nelsonsilva3127]

Wow Joseph thank you for the kind words. I do miss speak from time to time but we all make mistakes. As time goes on I feel like I'm getting better but it's so easy to make a mistake.
