2015 USBTC 8-Ball: Shane Van Boening vs Corey Deuel

2015 US Bar Table Championships
8-Ball Division
February 20-22, 2015
Commentator: Ken Shuman and special guests

[@austengreco9899]

I really admire Shane's break..

[@dd0ck]

Watching Corey Deuel play barbox 8-ball feels like I’m going to pool school! Getting back into pool and watching as much of him and SVB as possible. It’s like they always know the right shot/pattern.

[@geoenvi4733]

Watching SVB overthink that 2nd rack was painful. Extra points for the way he wipes his cue tip off on the nice rug after the handshake.

[@timmyg000420]

It's a barbox race to 5, every decision is crucial.

[@tmproductions9423]

who doesn't know these guys come on now wtf?

[@damianwilliams8842]

shot clock for nine ball not eight

[@santeritaimi6843]

Sarcasm new to you

[@wesleykohlman7275]

Your audio has always been low. Maybe something to do with KZbin. It would be nice if you could fix it in the future. Great quality though. Thank you.

[@danielkandisnooker7990]

+Wesley Kohlman send me the audio mp3 and ill compress it for ya CSI team ;) !

[@wesleykohlman7275]

+Daniel Kandi I don't know how to do that. just fix it in the future. hey send me an ob sneaky peat. just kidding. 450 is too much for that cue. way over priced.

[@danielkandisnooker7990]

I am audiogeek, so if u can get them to contact me, i can help them.

[@orsonboggs7753]

i agree with comments on the race to 5 wins not being enough games for the caliber of the players...good thing the break rotates or somebody could be toast even faster

[@james3339]

Too late at night to watch this whole thing. Shot clocks are a good thing

[@yousefmohamad9092]

I hope one of the officials in this channel will work to develop or improve the sound level because it is so bad that we can neither listen to the commentators nor the sound of the balls hitting each other.

[@harper626]

I turned my sound up and it was okay

[@southsidejonny9997]

These guy's have a rivalry...

[@ninestrikes]

Can someone explain to me why they rack the balls by hand and have the triangle film underneath as opposed to using the basic triangular tool? It seems so inefficient

[@airman20012001]

Inefficient due to time yes, but what the magic rack does that a normal rack doesn't is rack the balls in a consistent manner, every time.

[@erickjanes4122]

@@airman20012001 every fuckin time!

[@Mpk170]

That shot at the end (where shane had the 2 and the 6) he could have glanced the right side of the 2 and hid behind the 6. there wouldn't have been a shot on the table after that.

[@AAAskeet]

I saw the same thing,thin the 2 and tuck behind the six.Great safety.

[@bradleyatwell1020]

I was thinking come off the rail hide behind something 🤔

[@nickdoney4531]

I'm a big Shane fan, does he ever win the lag?

[@MikeyD22]

Surprisingly not as often as one would expect.

[@Thaddeus_Howe]

8 ball is much more interesting on a bar box IMO, especially when its a bar box with tight pockets.

[@otakurocklee]

SVB is taking a ridiculous amount of time.

[@robray7106]

is it me, or does Cory duel look like a young Ray liotta?

[@cl0rox]

+Robbie Rayburn yes, he really does look like him

[@seahawks312]

Shane looks like the bad guy off of the Shia Labeouf movie, Disturbia. Couldn’t help myself.

[@DeeboComing]

Is that a 7 foot table????????

[@Big_Sierra]

What's with the silly, cumbersome triangle they're having to rack with? I've never seen one of those in a bar. ;)

[@3spressoShot]

+Mr D 89 ita called a magic rack its done to make sure all the balls are touching for a consistent break

[@johnnyroc]

Corey is an amazing player but if these two were racing to a 100 I'd put all of my money on Shane.

[@CKC-gk2dh]

+Mustardeer M Yes but Shane is also much younger too. Youth is an advantage with a really long set.

[@digitalistca4629]

We would all pass away before the finish.

[@damianwilliams8842]

I would ut my money on corey if he was playing 100 like when he was in 2000

[@erickjanich6800]

Blah blah blah they'll never play to 100 so your comment is irrelevant

[@cakins1986]

Corey might very well beat Shane in a race to 100 on a bar box. On a 9'er SVB has a big advantage because of his break.

[@jrbr549]

'Scuse my ignorance but why don't they just use a rack?

[@AAAskeet]

That template has holes in it that make the entire rack frozen all balls every rack.

[@albert333pool]

39:06 when things are going your way...

[@devakash2]

He played it that way to knoff off the stripe ball to make way for 8 ball

[@r8wells]

I figured he played off that ball so he could keep it a straighter shot and hold shapes for the 3. Playing it straight in the pocket would be more of a cut and cause the cue ball to head to the end rail then left side rail

[@r8wells]

Akash Deodhar my comment in regards to yours

[@albert333pool]

@@r8wells there is NO WAY he played off that ball to keep shape. Hence 39:11 "Shane did not like that". It just happened that he hit it perfect unintentionally and it worked out. Why do you think Ken Shuman says "lucky shot" on the 4 ball" at 39:28

[@r8wells]

Aldoobie that’s very possible. It was just my thought when I first saw it. But I was responding to Akash because he said it was to open the 8 up. Which I disagreed with because that was the next shot after the Karom. Akash could also be mistaken on what shot you were referencing. Which would make more sense lol.

[@Jfufty]

Mr S.V.B is gonna be O.U.T :/ idk why but it made me laugh....

[@jackfrost1268]

I'm an amateur, so I don't know the pro rules. But in the 4th game, Shane makes 3 solids on the break and no stripes. Then he shoots the stripes. Is that legal in pros?

[@regis7136]

They are playing BCA rules. after break if balls are made it is still open table. Also no slop. APA rules you have to play what you made and unintended balls made count.

[@josephnewcomb5670]

Jack Frost since there pros wouldn't that make better sense if it was other way around

[@iberg9429]

Closed break is one of the dumbest rules ever... Get punished for making a ball on the break. I haven't seen so many tournaments use a closed break rule

[@blackmamba4215]

Who the fuck invented this new rack?

[@BaconFrisbee]

Most people say Efren is their favorite player. Universe brains know that CD is the correct answer.

[@robertdenson3375]

All these for tv colored balls do is mix me up. I don't think they help at all.

[@capacola262743]

we really need a shot clock. i am watching it at 2x speed and it is still slow as fuck.

[@squatch570]

Why do pros play on bar box at all??!! It's like playing pool in a phone booth! Yeah, yeah, I know the clusters on a bar box, etc... blah blah blah... but if any competent player, let alone these pros, can't handle clusters on the bar box then they should just quit playing!

[@CKC-gk2dh]

slow play i could run 2 or 3 racks before they could play one lol

[@burtgordon4796]

There should be a shot clock. I wish the announcer would quite flapping his gums. That sound is annoying as hell. This is like watching paint dry.

[@harper626]

obviously no shot clock. they need one.

[@itstorok]

Is the commentary eating something? those tongue noises are absolutely appalling

[@99zq8]

I hate to be a shit talker. But this commentator kills me. sounds like he's got 4 pricks in he's mouth when he's talking. Makes it pretty annoying to listen to. But he's seems professional and knowledge about the games.

[@siki993]

ken should stick to referee job

[@kevingarren5198]

What a boring slow game!

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Really wanted to watch this match but not with them playing on that kiddie table. Waste of my time.

[@TNskinny]

Maybe, you are confused as to what the USBTC stands for? United States Bar Table Championship. Bar table eightball isn't easy by any means. Small table, means more congestion.

[@sayeedafridi9747]

@@TNskinny what's the size of the table here ?
