Love Shane. Great competitor and such a humble and nice dude. World Champ!

[@kmaxx1493]

It is pure pleasure listening to Jeremy Jones talk about the mindset and intricacies of top-level billiards as this match is ongoing. He constantly amazes me with his analysis and observations. Kelly Fisher's commentary is superb as well. Thank you, both. Thanks also to Matchroom Pool making the videos available to billiard fans all over this incredible world. AND CONGRATS SVB!!!

[@moonbubbles3046]

His voice alone is so relaxed and easy to listen to.

[@darianthompson5975]

He's very knowledgeable but they need someone to balance him and ask the questions he's giving the answers to. Otherwise, it's just study material and not a game to be enjoyed. No excitement. Give an funny local in there that plays some pool

Hard to believe SVB bested Albin here. Albin is a clinical machine at this point in his career. Albin's game 7 scratch on the break was the single turning point, imo. He would have been up 5-2 and still breaking. Hats off to Shane for an incredible run of racks to keep Albin seated!

@@justinfrancis4155 Shane has dropped back into the teens. Albin is 7 or so.

[@Fleur_de_lis2k]

The final cast a special atmosphere when there was no clear underdog. To my understanding Albin is strongest in the final stage, it's where all the consistency and stoicism has led. Shane didn't really have anything to prove, the title just had dodged him for so many times so there was a lot of emotion at stake. Had to be hard as nails to beat a player like Albin.

[@leog9844]

Met Shane in manila in 2010, I think he was 25… great person and I been following him ever since. One the greatest of players ever to play.

All the way from south africa !!!...and I gotta confess Shane is one of my top 2 best players just behind Efren Reyes. And I've never been so happy for him🎉

[@bigsky1970]

The way that cue ball spun into the middle pocket on the 6th rack break, you could really see the emotion on Ouschan's face for the entire rack as it gave SVB the opportunity to run the rack. Ouschan was looking down at the floor the whole time. SVB takes advantage of tough breaks like that and Ouschan knew it. The momentum shifted in SVB's direction from that point on. Wild finish.

[@brendanvu1983]

He was destined to get a world title. His run to get the title was epic. The huge comeback against immonen, the double golden break against ko, and the INSANE kick to grab control of the final. Poetry in motion

[@ralphwiggum240]

@ 37:46 I don't understand the cameraperson's intent here. Camera operators need to stop trying to make this so dramatic. This is a pool match, not a remake of The Color of Money, trying to win an academy award for ... You are missing half of the shot, which is: watching the cue ball come around 2 rails for the next shot, the 5 ball. There was absolutely no need to zoom the camera in close on that 2 ball shot. Your camera tricks made us viewers miss half of the shot sequence (pocketing the object ball and the concurrent full path of the cue ball) Please, no more changing camera angles during the middle of a shot. Everything else was golden, nice work to document this.

[@RT-Ford]

As I stated earlier, why do they have to replay every, single shot? I believe the viewers are mostly pool players themselves and want to see the layout of the balls on the table.

[@waynefast2883]

From South Dakota here. Watched Shane as play as a kid. Makes us proud. Beautiful play by both and hats off to Albin for his humble defeat.

[@midwestboyy6499]

Ok..

[@ralphwiggum240]

The seating in pool matches needs to be rethought and redesigned. The crowd sits so far away, and at the same level as the table so they can't see much. Let's get the crowd a lot closer and looking down from a second level 10 ft over the table, at least. Then the first level can be for the players and cameras only. Fix these 2 things and there will be bigger crowds, It's just easier to watch pool on a TV screen

[@byrongreen2167]

According to what I’ve seen tonight, Albin has made every shot he’s tried…if he has missed, I haven’t seen it yet…this guy is exemplary…wow…

Hey Matchroom, could you please fix the audio issues. I assume it's a copyright thing with music being played at the venue.

[@stenshamn]

Great match and all, but why does the sound cut out between racks and at the end?

[@gaimcap]

Music rights. They blast songs between racks and so matchroom is muting the recordings sound during that time so KZbin doesn’t DMCA them. The real question is: if this is matchroom’s own footage going on mathrooms own page, why don’t have access to the commentary on a separate track that won’t get muted? Doesn’t take much foresight to keep around an original, uncompressed/unflattened copy of one of your biggest events of the year.

Phil Yates was wrong about the comparisons of SVB and Tiger. SVB did win his first major as a professional. The U.S. Open in 2007. SVB has 5 U.S. Opens, a World 9-ball, a World 8-ball, a World 14.1, 2 Derby Masters of the Table, and many U.S. Open titles in 10-ball, 8-ball, and One Pocket. I think SVB has at least 17+ “major” titles.

[@nghiton08]

@@HyperFlash23 I agree that it's right there, but let's be honest, would Shane make it at least 5/10 times trying? I highly doubt it right? Great shot nevertheless, and fortune is always a part of this game

[@chili015]

@@nghiton08 - There's a difference between a fluke and a low percentage shot. A fluke is when something good happens that wasn't intended... a low percentage shot is when something was intended, but it's difficult to successfully pull off regularly. Shane is skilled enough to give it a chance to go in and it went in that time. It would have been a fluke if he had fired at it and the ball banked into another pocket. At the professional level, kicking and banking rarely result in flukes.

I’ve heard several pool commentators talk about the need to build the game, and things that might be done to attract more new players to the game.,, and actions to increase participation. It’s so obvious that pool has a great unrealized potential for growth. So much history, so accessible, affordable, anybody should be able to play... I just haven’t seen anything being done to grow the game in North America for new players.
