HOT MATCH: Jonathan PINEGAR vs Jayson SHAW - 2015 DERBY CITY CLASSIC 9-BALL DIVISION

[@anthonygarcia3464]

If Shane or Jason were in pinegars place making all those shots the commentators would be going nuts.

[@9BallBory]

They never said he wasn’t making good shots but you can’t deny he was getting amazing roles.... even him after the match said he couldn’t believe it.

[@Blessed.2.Teach.4God]

I completely agree, although they did give SOME credit, their energy & applause was muuuch less than if it had been one of the usual suspects. I love Mark, and even though Danny means well he gets on my nerves... but they were pretty disappointing here in their (anti) favoritism.

[@AntonioTrew]

I guarantee you that didn't bother John one bit...John was never really big on getting recognition or being in the spotlight, he was however always big on winning...

[@jonathanmiller7499]

I found out the hard way who Johnathan Pinegar was, I was playing in Jobs poolhall in nasheville TN. We knocked some balls around, he asked if I liked to gamble. I was like shit yeah! We started out playing 5 dollar games then it went to 10 to 20.00. I couldn't beat the man! I ended up losing like 400 bucks I think. And I was so happy to hand him his money! I had no idea what I got myself into! I loved every second of it! Best money I ever lost!

[@bigdaddytunes3191]

Hennesse made it look like he was getting lucky the entire match. True Mark of a hustler.

[@erniedavis6305]

Oh my goodness!! Loved that match!! Ole Jonathan definitely one of my favorite players!! He definitely hit his gear there

[@5153flash]

A race to 9 and Jason Shaw never made 1 legal ball,, That is unbelievable!!!! Has got to be a record.

[@superiorauto7505]

looks like someone forgot to tell Pinegar that he was supposed to lose

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

I've seen him beat orcullo and couple other pros in the same fashion

[@AntonioTrew]

I used to play with John and watch him in money games here in Tennessee in the early 2000's...He can be a monster and a complete nightmare on the table, but he never went full pro..People who know John knows he's kind of like Earl Strickland he can be his own worst enemy when he gets in his own head. Unfortunately when he fell behind and was losing in a match, he would exhibit a bit of a bad temper which was more prevalent in money games..I haven't played with him in person in years but it seems since he's gotten older he's become more calm and focused...This is when he's playing his best and when John is in stroke and is winning he's capable of beating anyone in the world making him one of the most dangerously underated players in the game...

[@kerrmoney]

That was so satisfying!!!

[@josepstemberg7815]

Very relax! Pinegar's play.

[@darrenapple2200]

Hennessey is a pro. Anyone that thinks differently of him is badly mistaken. I've seen him give crazy weight to guys with a 700 Fargo rating or above and beat them. He's a beast!!!

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Absolutely so have I I live in Knoxville TN I've seen him give up some craziness and still rob people blind

[@AntonioTrew]

I know John and he never really wanted to go pro, he loved traveling and gambling and was one of the best money game players I've ever seen...He also exhibited a pretty bad temper back in the day and liked to play at his own speed..So I think the Pro format and the big games being televised was too much glamour for him..John kind of avoided being in the spotlight, because he loved to gamble a lot , by not going Pro meant he had a better change of flying under the radar and getting money games... All that being said John is on the property level no doubt and is very dangerous on the table and could beat anyone on any given day...This video proves that

[@billysikes1374]

Shaw smiling the whole time, who the fook is this guy lol Wilson and Liberto criticized Hennessey the entire match

[@alvaflash]

After this match I would've put him in the mosconi cup. Maybe would've sharked Shaw the way he beat him. People remember whoopings this bad.

[@DrPool]

Thanks for the upload. Very very interesting to see the lazy strenght of a pure gambler. A nobody against the well-known pro, can there be anything more satisfying? Even for the spectators? Great match!

[@AccuStats]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@corybeasley3123]

He's not a nobody trust me

[@DrPool]

@@corybeasley3123 You're right, wrong choice of words. I didn't mean to degrade Jonathan in any way.

I just came across one of matches before seeing this. This guy is super solid.

Pinegar's Cue so gorgeus looks like a diveney cues 😎😎😎

[@TNskinny]

It is. He was sponsored by Pat back then.

[@rmartin7417]

People shit on Hennessy all the time, the guy is an excellent pool player, can shoot out of any situation, one of the best jump stick players I’ve ever seen. He’s a really nice guy, has been my favorite player for 20 years. Every time I watch him on YT the commentators act like they don’t know who he is.. they should start checking out the talent that’s around and they will learn about these guys that have been putting in work for decades behind the scenes .. one thing I can promise you JH will play anybody, he ain’t got a scared bone in his body.

[@5153flash]

surfing you tube like always and this is the first time I ever seen Pinegar??? How is this possible??? Is this the only match he ever played on you tube? I still cant believe Ive never seen this, lol

He mainly plays bar table tourny's

[@Wiser1FOREVER]

This match is over 7 years old! I wonder if Jason has nightmares about running into this guy again! I'm usually a fan of his, but sometimes you have to root for the relatively unknown players like Pinegar! This was actually hilarious to watch, because you could tell that Shaw was a bit beside himself & frustrated!

[@Pyrogasm]

Very annoying how the announcers kept downplaying Pinegars ability throughout the whole match. Yes Shaw is the favorite but Jonathan plays great and is very capable of beating anyone. Nice match Jonathan!

[@billysikes1374]

Mark Wilson talked about him like he was a league player

[@jamesturner593]

Absolutely loved the commentary. A lot of people say off things about Danny but I love some of the silly backwards things he says. If you watch some of the other pool productions where they have very technical analysis it’s a drag. My mom who knows very little of pool sat there giggling while Billy and Danny went back and forth in an old match that I was watching the other day. That’s what makes the sport fun. It’s a bar game in nature and that’s what you do at the bar… talk nonsense about how the other guy is telling a beautiful sob story to a joe on the side, make a joke about his backer or how he’s not going to be able to pay rent. One of my favorite matches of all time was Mosconi and Fats because the production and the talk of Fats made the game a WWE match. Anybody can watch that and when anybody can watch it anybody can play it or attempt to at their local bar lol.

[@MrJdsenior]

Holy crap, not much more to say...besides the two flukes and a couple of advantageous rolls Pinegar played some VERY fine pool there. I wonder what the Fargo would have been at the beginning of that match, maybe 90-10 for Shaw. Makes me want to see Pinegar again...had to be the tournament match of his life. Gotta say, it's great when things happen that way. I was playing a league match once and the guy that was playing me got EVERY bad roll he could have, it was so bad I was actually commiserating with him, well, some anyway. Win's a win, that's pool. :-)

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Actually this is how he plays over 90 percent of the time he's a top notch pro player just doesn't get around everywhere to win the big ones

[@kaivonweymarn3376]

Das ist mal ne richtige Klatsche, und gegen die vorderste Weltklasse

Glad I'm not the only one who loves watching shaw lose! I hate that snapping turtle looking mug!

[@reedfoley9151]

Anyone in the Southeast known she Pinegar is a great player.

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Hennessy plays outstanding pool most people that aren't players don't know who he is his Fargo rating is over 700 I'm from Knoxville TN so I've seen him play since he was very very young and he used to own a pretty nice pool I've played him a couple times guys a beast

[@SQ_og]

That dude laid down a good couple of safeties.

[@tonybrady1176]

Both good players

[@jm361]

It makes 1 wonder what Shaw was thinking as Pinegar was doing his thing...

[@bigdaddytunes3191]

Fast players hate playing players like this . Great way to destroy a rhythm player

[@synthiabakers1753]

Jayson Shaw was dominated in this match.he only made 3 mistakes. he broke and scratched.and he made 2 safety errors.Jonathan lucked one shot in.he played bad position on a shot.and recovered by making a one-pocket shot.he also recovered from 3 bad breaks.His safety play was flawless. The set-up and return safety 3 times was perfect.

[@robsmith6719]

I'd like to have Pinegar's luck in this match! And I'm not trying to take anything away from the guy. Just saying

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

When you play good u get good rolls he didn't shoot a 950 by being lucky lol he did get some rolls though lol

[@9BallBory]

@Charlie B he did that once and hit the 7 dead on lol, move on the dude hit ever known roll including missing 2 balls in the same rack that both fluked in. Much easier to shot a 950 also when you don’t miss no matter what and have the 9 go in and sit in the pocket in 2 games. No one is saying it’s the reason he won but it was dumb to watch a guy get that many rolls

[@9BallBory]

@Charlie B Shaw executed a couple of safeties in the match, if you think its possible to make sure to not scratch on a break then please go be a pro lol its always a chance just rare from the best. Shaw could be up 8-0 and get up and hit a ball in right away he isnt someone that takes his time ever its his style and then mix in that if shaw does take his time the other dude would just slop every ball in he misses lol. You seem to hate someone you know nothing about. But keep hating the reason people love to see him lose is because its not very often that he does lmao.

[@billysikes1374]

Shaw took him for granted, thought he would just show up and beat Hennessee

[@alexcollins1630]

Hennessy plays good. Reminds me of Sigel back in the 80's

[@rogerscottcathey]

Geeze, quite muted commentation for Pinnegar. I guess some guy coming in from the bar next door creaming a pro gets no respect.

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

3:15 for God's sake Vinny the guy won the Akron open lol

[@patrickakers1771]

Does anyone know if this was before his accident? He seems to playing with a good speed and focus for sure.

[@RichardsWorld]

I think this is after.

[@perun4649]

what accident?

[@davidlee8808]

Guessing Shaw didn't know who this guy was at that time.

[@lazarnovovic5416]

I mean this was some sort of karma after Jayson was murdering the field.

[@mikea5205]

Imagine the odds on this prop bet....Pinegar beats Shaw 9-0 without Shaw pocketing a legal ball the entire match.....I mean at least 10,000 to 1?

[@mehdim544]

Seriously the racking of the balls with gaps and having the 9 ball flying is ridiculous. Jason didn't even get a decent shot in that match and rushed his chances in regards to safeties that were played on him. He could of got back into the match. Wasn't pro level pool but somehow Pinegar got the job done by giving Shaw a donut, unbelievable..

[@jclee6275]

Loose racks with ref watching? Lol

[@scottbranson7872]

Pool World needs to drink more water. Jesus.

[@tyronemosley6810]

Pinegar dosent do anything exceptionally well ..except beat you 9-0..🤔

[@StrengthFromGiving]

I'd like to know what was constanly being said to Pinegar during this match by the judges. If it's what I think it is, it's a pretty classless move to harass a journeyman player just because he isn't a big name brand. The entire purpose of rack your own is so players would stop complaining about some one throwing them the rack, it's not to replace it with the other player complaining about your rack for yourself. If this was Shaw vs Strickland, Strickland would be blowing up at the judges over the constant attention, and he would be correct to do so.

[@jesseh3806]

Hot match?

[@charickter]

Well...damn. I guess so.

[@Wiser1FOREVER]

Has to be the most embarrassing match for Jason Shaw!
