Juuso' fargo implies he's a better player than he displayed. Probably a little starstruck like many of us would be.

[@Poolguppy101]

agreed, he just couldn't get his momentum rolling on that table with the legend sitting across the table. I'd be a bit beside myself as well.

[@chili015]

A lot of these guys aren't used to the TV tables, either. With the new high-end felt and all the lighting that's warming up the area, it plays much differently than the outside tables and certainly tables at their local pub.

[@csbro7045]

@@chili015 In what ways does it play really differerent? Is just faster the main one?

[@jama211]

@@csbro7045 typically the warmer they are the faster they run from what I understand.

Tony Robles, a professional pool player who I believe may be retired or semi-retired as of writing this comment, once said he played against Shane van Boening and that was the only time in his life that he felt absolutely hopeless. I believe he only got in one rack and Shane did the rest. Shane eats people alive on the table! Good game and cheers to Juus, but he and other players shouldn’t feel too defeated if they loose against a poor since 2007 with unmatched skill and talent.

Unbelievably annoying background music, if I can even call it music. Fortunately SVB probably has his hearing aids turned all the way down.

Is it just me or does Juuso look like Valtteri Bottas without the mullet?

Cheers to Juuso for a good match and the display of great sportsmanship at the end. Also Cheers to Shane for not taking a 5-rail ball in hand kick at any point during the match (cough Kaci cough).

[@csbro7045]

Link to the Kaci shot? Was it a shot were it looked like he was going easy on the opponent or something?

[@thangs]

34:47 - I love how players get so comfortable with the camera, they'll sometimes forget it's even there.

I'd go just to see Emily Frazer ❤

[@RT-Ford]

A tip to the cameramen....stop replaying shots, unless they're spectacular. Viewers want to see the layout of the table; not replays of scratches and break shots. All the replays make the match very boring and unwatchable.

[@aarond3193]

Matchroom, please tell commentators not to announce scores on other tables so we can watch the matches without spoilers

[@theaveragejoebody]

And I shouldn't have looked at the comments until I finished

[@rogerscottcathey]

23:06, have seen this quite a bit where a cut shot with low left sends a ball to the corner rotating counterclockwise pops right out. Instead of just letting the cut itself put spin on the cue ball and using center English. The impact is going to impart some left or clockwise on the cue ball, meanwhile the object ball will have far less counterclockwise spin. Ideally that object ball hitting the wing of the pocket will have clockwise spin to drop in. Over use of spin in some shots I've found counter productive.

[@leoandsan]

his timing was horrible during that shot...

[@rogerscottcathey]

I'm guessing UKOpen has a genY muzak selector or would it be a Z? Must be torment for any old school players left

[@Steve-ih2ql]

If shot to hard the object ball don't get the max of the English cause the cueball scoots , an the object ball gets the max English right before the pocket an then hits back off it riding the half ring back out onto the table .

[@PoolProblems]

The general idea is to hit it with outside spin, which actually makes the pocket play slightly bigger, as long as you hit the long rail first. Opting for counterclockwise spin is not something people use. I mean, he hit the point, and no amount of spin would enable that ball to go down.

[@garbygarb31]

:) Be Safe

[@snap-n-shoot]

after the break off juuso hit the pink but did not pot it even though it was not the correct ball to hit, and then had another shot on the blue yet still snookered himself…what rule is that?

[@hantoam]

The shot on the 4 ball was a push out. Players can push out after the break if they don’t have a shot on the lowest ball. The second shot you mentioned he played safe. Playing safe is not a rule it’s a tactic players use to not leave their opponent a shot.

[@mattweeks9570]

If a player isn't happy with the layout of the balls after the breakshot they can elect to push out. Push out shots are legal no matter what. You can hit as many rails or balls in any order. No requirements on push out shot. After pushing out your opponent can either play the next shot or if they want to they can give the shot back to the one who pushed out forcing them to play their own push out shot.

[@kensweetser]

As others have said, it was a push out. Normally the opponent (Shane) would come to the table and take a look at the shot and decide if he wanted to take the shot or give it back to the player who played the push out. In this case, Shane immediately and discreetly pointed back at Nuutinen and Nuutinen saw this and continued to play at the table.

[@BlondeBitties]

Is the background music not obnoxious?
