Hayato Hijikata vs Shane Van Boening ▸ 2024 Las Vegas Open by Rums of Puerto Rico

[@bw4593]

Thank you for the quality production! I am so grateful snd excited for the push to make Pool a legit pro sport again!!! Also great to hear from Mika!!!! 💪 Grew up watching him in the early 2000s, and have always love the way he played the game

[@hijikata-billiards]

SVB plays well I'm not good at playing😂 Let's do our best at the world championships💪

[@jamest3552]

When Shane is in his top gear, he's virtually untouchable.

[@jadams1722]

*No one playing today has been relevant longer than Shane. That’s why he is the best player in the world today.*

[@cadengardner4440]

Efren Reyes

[@mattmorgan3864]

I agree 💯

[@breeze7863]

He is not close to being th3 best. Biado, Gorst, FSR, FILLER, KO PIN, and his brother are better. And I'm a Shane fan. But he isn't the best. He can beat anyone, but Biado just smoked him, he's the best right now.

[@jadams1722]

@@cadengardner4440 Efren hasn’t completed in 12 years. He hardly counts as a player playing today.

[@jadams1722]

@@breeze7863 KO is the only guy on your list who’s play long enough to count, and Shane just defeated KO to win a major 10 Ball title. That said Shan was winning US Open titles when KO was in elementary school.

[@samshntrash]

@36:00 crazy 3 shots by shane

[@davycrocket4858]

Shane, you are my hero 🎉

[@starlingbuckley5318]

Thanks for allowing us to watch

[@guymanges3628]

How come one match can play combos on obs and the next match can't ?

[@rodriguezro9999]

SVB, Gorst and Filler are my favorite players to watch. Earl the Pearl is alright too. Lol

[@YuraP-rd7pf]

Sanches Ruiz???

[@omahabigbill2789]

The referee needs a shirt that fits.

[@jeffna1802]

Beast mode activated!

[@markabrice]

When will Predator wise up and start including the "race to" target in the score graphic? One game in and still no mention of the length of the match. Pretty annoying omission, which wouldn't take more than a couple minute to remedy.

[@artartful854]

9:48 in I am done., The cameraman is just too good. Can't just follow the shot, so we don't see it. When will any of them learn ? Just terrible camerawork.

[@luisisoto18]

Shane my favorite player... 1 Efren 2 Shane 3 Earl My best 3 players of all times...

[@jadezee6316]

Shane making insane shots and looking as good as he has ever been....

[@gboy-t8e]

Idol @carlobiado saan sa Las Vegas ang tournament venue? I lang days ang tournament? Goodluck team Biado!

[@billiarduniversity5842]

SVB is a great player and a class player. I love the competitiveness of these matches even though SVB won pretty easily. Johnny Henson Professor Pool

[@jimhouston2435]

Is good to see maker in the booth when he retires he speaks very well so I think he'd have a long stint as a commentator 10-4

[@صلاحالقاروط-ع1م]

Shane Van Boening

[@RichardLambey]

It seems like Shane is now the new face of pool 🎱, took over from Efern.

[@MarcoGonzalez-i6r]

❤❤❤

[@BretMcIntire]

Would be novel for the commentators to have a clue about it being an alternate break tournament.

[@wvwIceMan13wvw]

Well it’s not an alternate break, if you’d listened he read the rules and it’s winner break. Sky vs Sina was winner break the whole time. It probably came down to the ref not realizing and the players went along because that’s what they’re used to.

[@pulixpulix2420]

Is that Mika Immonen who is commenting?

[@JordanFlaten]

Purple 4, orange 5 > pink 4, purple 5

[@theabhorrentchef7226]

No doubt. Only on the ugliest set of billiard balls ever produced will you find a purple 5. And as absurd as it sounds, I haven’t watched any match room events since they started using that inverted disgusting excuse for a ball set.

[@williamsheppard8738]

That was absolutely the referees flute that the other guy got to break

[@toddrobertson1398]

Absolutely .. he should have stepped in

[@jamest3552]

Seemed like his oboe.

[@maxhung69]

hilarious that the announcers didn't know the shooting rules since they were off-site n talking about their low rankings. svb is still a great player

[@Jmgoregrind]

I’ve never seen Shane look so strong in early rounds. Everybody better watch the $*#& out!

[@TimDEagle]

The first lamb

[@martycooper1089]

Remote commentators?

[@creo420]

Hijikata keeps scratching the cloth in the table with his breaks 🤦‍♂️

[@martycooper1089]

So you guys are remote commentating on a match that is in Las Vegas and I must say for me personally, I am not a big fan of that but that’s just me. Had to get that off my chest.

[@Forlorn_Mortis]

I

[@harrybigler5362]

The referee almost got on Shane's nerves

[@gilbertjuarez499]

Who won pocket

[@jimhouston2435]

I apologize I went Mika

[@ezekiel763]

I was surprised this guy is an 800 Fargo player. Would have thought he’s in the 600s with that performance.

[@Pakdhe4663]

Bukan lawsn seimbang untuk SVB... 😅

[@kellycoyle8765]

Mika!

[@louiehudzinski3993]

SVB!!!

[@hayabusa1329]

Why aren't Japanese players as good as Filipino or Chinese players?

[@righteouscanon9185]

Just because you have numerous camera angles doesn't mean you have to use them all. And replaying every shot? Really? The viewers want to see the layout of the table. Not close-ups of the players faces. Not table level camera shots.

[@FX-bc3lp]

この辺レベルだと ちぎられるだろ😮 それは何故か？ 日本レベルで ひょうひょうと撞いてるからだよ😮

[@のり-b7z8t]

人のふんどしイキリ爺さん

[@Granpa-inbetween]

「じゃあ自分は土方選手よりうまくて世界レベルでバチバチやってるんか！？」と言いそうになったけど、野球中継見て「へたくそ！」と叫ぶサラリーマンを誰も責められないのと同じだなと思い溜飲を下げるに至った

[@ガク-j1t]

まぁ土方プロには申し訳ないけど大方間違っちゃいないよ アメリカは選手の層も厚すぎるし多種多様なゲームで腕を磨いてる強者がうじゃうじゃいるし ローカル選手でさえ敵わないレベル フィリピンもそうだし しかもその中のトップ中のトップのボーニングじゃ勝てないよ 残念ながら日本のレベルはまだ世界には通用しないね 決して貶してるわけじゃなく日本の現状を憂いてるんです😢
