🤬 Heated End of Match ▸ Mika IMMONEN vs Jeffrey DE LUNA

[@ProBilliardTV]

Did he call the 9-Ball? 🤔

[@MeganOHowe]

looks like it. and he makes it totally obvious of his shots after lol. looks like his lips said nine ball before making the shot wasnt very hearable but its gotta be loud in there, it was obvious he was aiming for the combo theres no other shot he could have been going for. i had someone during league pull that on me last week, he was probably trying to get me riled up to try and throw me off my game.

[@splattered1]

It doesnt matter if he called, as long as the referee and opponent didnt note the called combination, its a no call. A player should be punished for an error as simple as this.

Problem is luna has been known to shark people like this, and after the reff said yea he said it I checked the tapes Luna still contested it (because he was getting stomped) Not to mention it's clear as day what shot he was taking, even the announcers called it b4 he got down on the shot. Sure, both were unsportsmanlike, but I'd probably be just as mad if someone was trying to cheat me out of half a million like that.

You have to call your shot to your opponent or the ref. You can't just whisper it to yourself and say you "called it." This is why 9-ball will always be better than 10-ball because you don't have to call anything in 9 ball. If it goes in, it counts, no argument about calling shots in 9-ball. In 10-ball it becomes a complete shit-show fighting over calling a shot.

💥For those of you that are saying he doesn't have to call the shot because it's an obvious shot. Here is the written rule on a combo shot in this tournament hope this helps 👇 6.0 CONTINUING PLAY - CALL POCKET On the shot immediately following a legal break and/or a Push Out, the shooting player must contact the lowest numbered ball on the table or it is a foul. Unlike 9-Ball, 10-Ball is a “Call Pocket” game and the shooter is encouraged to specify all balls along with their intended pocket. However, obvious balls and their respective pockets do not have to be specified. Any bank shot (object ball to rail), kick shot (rail(s) to object ball), or combinations (2 or more balls) must be called to their designated pocket, or they are considered a miss. When a player successfully pockets the designated object balls, they continue their inning until either a miss, foul, or win occurs.

The grandstanding did not help after he got the call in his favor. I've had moments like this. they hook me and grandstand on the safety. I get out and pot the ball anyway, and that usually shuts them up. Let your game do your talking.

It's pretty hard to "shut them up" when it was the ref that brought it up.

[@michaelmcdonald6794]

@@dustinp26 Actually, I was just referring to the reaction on Immonen's part after the calling went his way. He boasted a bit there towards De Luna. That set off De Luna. It spiraled from there. It might not have been as drama laden if Mika just shot on...IMO

[@michaelmcdonald6794]

​@@dustinp26 Regarding the shot... it was the obvious shot. I would not have stood up. I would let the ref and player fight it out. Then go with however the final call goes. If I was De Luna. Mika should have spoken louder on that nine ball shot. However, that is just me. Sometimes I do get wrapped up in my own world playing that I forget to call out shots. No judgement here. All this is just my observations.

[@dustinp26]

@@michaelmcdonald6794 your first reply completely misunderstood my comment so I'm just gonna ignore it. De Luna stood up because the ref also didn't think Mika called it. Otherwise the ref would've just said continue shooting and wouldn't need to check it.

[@michaelmcdonald6794]

@@dustinp26 You have that backwards. You missed my original point. My first comment was not aimed at the shot nor the call by the ref. It was totally aimed at the reaction by Mika from around 6:57 to 6:59. That was not needed and only added fuel to the fire. He should have just gotten up and played on. No theatrics. Do you get it now?

[@maxhung69]

i watched a few times. unfortunately, we couldn't hear if he said "9" because the announcer was speaking. however, his mouth didn't appear to move. but his shot was obviously a combo. de luna was probably right; hence, the anger and poor behavior by the dutch(?) player afterwards. just when pool is trying to rebuild its reputation and popularity.

I believe in karma I don't wish bad on someone's life but him having a stage 4 colon cancer is a karma for him being a bad person. I also believe that Immonen uses drugs and got abuse by his drug addiction. Only drugs can do that thing and also his disease is a result of drug abuse. Immonen has been the worst attitude player in pool history. He is worst than Strickland but at least Earl is now a change man while Mika is always a spoiled addict. His high temper is a result of drug addiction. I wish him well though but I stand on what I said. Never do drugs coz it's very obvious. And hey you look like the same with Immonen. HAHA you a spoiled dubmass.

[@KingscrownTV]

This happened to my teammate and I can tell you that when the opponent contested it, it does raise your anger level. In the moment, you feel that the opponent is trying to win on a technicality, knowing full well your intended pocket as everyone else is witnessing too. The pocket is called, and is attempting to find anyone who will agree. This is poor sportsmanship and to me, is fully understandable that a reaction such as Mika’s can occur. Sure, he could’ve diffused the situation, but what would you do if your opponent is trying to steal the match? In this case, it’s for money. That makes it even more tenable.

[@tq9813]

I hate Jeffrey DE LUNA. Mika clearly called for a nine, and the announcer also said "five nine" to hear it. He tried to take advantage of the referee's clear mistake to continue playing just because it would benefit him. This is the lack of sportsmanship. They should have appealed to the referee together with each other. I will never support him in my life.

"You guys might not know why Mika Immonen seems so upset with Luna. It’s because Luna is Filipino, and Mika saw a KZbin video where he was mocked during a match against Efren, which really bothered him. This is similar to why Morales recently made a negative comment about Pacquiao-some Filipino KZbinrs create content that makes others look foolish, just for the sake of views. It would be better if they created more responsible content and thought things through."

[@dp1381]

If players are required to call their shots, the referee should confirm the call prior to allowing the player to get down on the shot.

[@kevoman81]

It’s petty, but I see no fault in Mika. High stakes raises importance of each play. Question: was it the ref who questioned the nine ball call? De Luna appeared surprised but not reserved to try and take advantage of questioning. This eagerness to jump in, despite it appearing as a pretty obvious combination play, and a minor technicality question, is what blistered Mika’s nerves. Easy to understand De Lunas eagerness with high stakes,…. He did seem to manage conceding initially after the review. Mika’s outburst is simple to expect, but it also triggered De Luna’s continuation of the challenge. At that point, respect was lost, what’s to loose by continuing the challenge? So, Mika should have been more collected than shouting “yes”. Emphasizing the future calls is ok. The “yes” was mocking and disrespectful. De Luna had no other way to challenge back, but can’t really expect him to absorb without any response. Could be better for all to stop, take 2 min.. Ref can improve by taking the control. Sitting each player, taking credit f original questioning, acknowledge it could have been an issue of a quiet verbal by Mika, but the explain the words were mouthed, and the combination was simple and clear to see. Players frustration would be directed away from each other. They’d have a moment allowed to collect, and move forward. Simple, dummy

[@ericjamesphotography]

Sadly, this clip alone made me lose all respect for De Luna. He was clearly playing an intentional combination and Jeff was throwing a fit and trying to get a free turn. If I was Mika, I would’ve been fuming mad also.

[@champmannisto3444]

I think Mika felt cheated by the initial questioning of that shot. He looked really unsettled the whole game, i would love to see the entire match and also find out whether he has a history of having bad calls made against him. As he would of well known, he should have been disqualified for shouting like that at another player. Red carded, it is completely unacceptable in a professional sporting event like this one, especially as it is all on video.

The shot was beyond obvious. Even if he didn't mouth the call I wouldn't have been so petty as to question it. He was right to be pissed.
