[@colincolenso]

I've seen less scratching at a meth rehab clinic.

[@markstephen9808]

It was a triple combination shot, the blue 2 onto the purple 5 and into the 9. A two way shot, tucking the cue ball behind the 8.

[@ceu8556]

Honestly mind blowing, looks like it could’ve been shot of the day🤣

[@smaueluminium877]

This seems like a consequence of the live broadcast. Skyler played a tight safety but since he came a the 2 off two rails, there was no rail-contact after he hit the 2, so Josh got ball-in-hand. While they're showing the foul in slow motion for clarification, Filler plays an immediate safety, gluing the cueball to a blocker, and plays the 9 because he can afford to miss. The camera cut back just in time, but it wasn't a full-aggression shot.

[@Corban-e3v]

also 31:13, would have been nice for someone to mention that jumping from the rail is easier, so Woodward did what many do, which is overhit a high-pressure jump with his opponent on the hill, sending the cueball on top of the 8. he hits the 8 so full, I wonder if he was going for a cut or a bank
