2008 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship: Match 2 = Gabe Owen v Ramil Gallego

[@tonyralston7736]

I still can't believe I use to play a lot of pool with this guy&would give him weight in 9 ball&win.we would play at this pool hall in Wichita called Greg Stevens family game room..we became great friends.he later moved to Oklahoma&has become a legend..if you ever see this post my friend congratulations

[@phixxwutwut]

when a professional pool player strikes a ball , hes still hitting it as accurately as a snooker player. the ball is still travelling on the exact path he intended, regardless of the size of the pockets. the larger pockets allow him to strike the ball on a variety of different paths and still pocket the ball, which gives more positional advantage. if you think these guys are just out there banging away and are being saved by larger pockets youre completely mistaken.

[@tibeatz89]

I saw Nick Varner's picture in the promo part of this video at the start, and I saw he was the captain of the US team at the Mosconi Cup too... Does he still play competitively?

[@de23Emil]

Great!:D Keep posting videos Bclub!:D

[@kolaas2006]

Mosconi cup is running these days! I watched some matches yesterday. Big fun, go Europe, go Niels Feijen!!!

[@lnd3005]

That Gallego makes some impressive opening position shots.

[@jwon01]

i"m sorry but me and my girlfriend found that first rack hilarious. Thanks BCLUB!

[@SuperGm1988]

lol im down. how much do you think he wants to lose?

[@SWMTD]

唔該晒^^

[@danceoutnow]

Patterns and stroke are all well and good, but creativity and natural talent are sometimes enough to overcome a lack of "fundamental" approaches. Just look at Corey Deuel. Very sound stroke, but sometimes he has to be creative to escape traps. This game isn't all about tactics. But it's a good bet few of us commenting have ever played on that stage or won the US Open. Dissect em if you want, but there is a reason they are there, and you are at home

If you like Gabe Owen then THUMBS UP!

[@spencerloyal9456]

Cool

[@lemonite1]

I agree, but how do these guys feel? Their first round matches are supposed to be easy, instead they draw each other. They're both saying to themselves,"I gotta that guy in my first match?"

[@justintime49]

I only hear on my left headphone. When the music comes on i hear on the right., Stupid audio for the video btu good tourn

[@lemonite1]

Gallego made the big shots.

[@phixxwutwut]

sorry, i couldnt detect your internet sarcasm.

[@AI3Dorinte]

@BClub got 50 bucks on lenmarchant!

[@FuzzyWalther]

That swing arm of Gabe Owen just looks so wrong. But hey, it works. ^^

[@dand100]

I wouldn't go as far as to say "unwatchable",thats a little much.

[@LeonFleisherFan]

The 6? Looks like a tiny video hiccup to me, nothing else.

[@regoConker]

i said its very easy compared to snooker and cushion (and thats true) y im actually playing 8ball but with 16yrs i dont have the experience which these pros have and theres no pool club in my area :P

[@phixxwutwut]

you should play pro then, if the games so easy why arent you on this video winning the u.s. open?

[@radtownboy]

Ok, that was a little to hard. Not very confortable to watch, is better. ;-o

[@radtownboy]

The game is nice, but the videoquality stinks. Unwatchable. Buu...

[@LCChiefer]

pffff on 2:33

[@regoConker]

lol the game is so easy, snooker and cushion r so much harder

[@lpdb7005]

lol

[@bobthomas2268]

I'll play any APA player for cash too. They're all ballbangers. They whine "I need a spot."
