Shane Van Boening vs Kyle Amoroto | Winners Qualification | 2023 Hanoi Open Pool Championship

[@kelvikelv5322]

Absolutely one of the best matches I've seen in a few years. The final game defensive shots were out of this world.

[@82ray]

I don't think I've ever seen Shane scratch with 2 balls remaining, wow.

[@esmaeelbaz6827]

Am happy to see underdogs player shine

[@ronthacker211]

Shane... wow. It is what it is.

[@quinnbaker1935]

Actually, it isn't what it is

[@philipread1005]

What a fantastic match!

[@derekholland3328]

best announcers imo.

what, you mean you don't like karl boyes breathing on the mic like its halfway in his sinuses?

[@philipread1005]

yeah they were really good.

[@sholehfebriandi665]

Amazing 🥶

[@ThePlasticCannon]

Who’s got the playlist they were playing in the background?

[@derekholland3328]

epic match.

[@sw1tchmast3r73]

Feel like Shane’s been wearing the same shirt for 10 years. 😂

[@leighatkins22]

Wonder if he's ever taken it off aye XD

[@olheghtt]

It's obviously not the same shirt, but a lot of people in high-level competition can be very superstitious. If I played the pool tournament very often I used to wear the same color shirt all the time.

[@rogerscottcathey]

I think a kid whose played Efren Reyes is inured by now of any other player he comes up against. Efren has played and coached a lot of the Filipino players.

[@jadams1722]

Efren has played good pool in 20 years and he’s not in the top 10 coaches in his country.

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@jadams1722 : Did you mean Efren "hasn't played good pool in twenty years"? You have no clue.

[@stephenperry5021]

If I had anyone in the world to spend a day with and learn from, it would be Efren Reyes.

[@jamesjames77777]

What cue is Kyle using? I thought he normally used a carbon shaft?

[@KershAkaKershy]

lets go shane!

[@MrSwaggerPants999]

Anyone know what the first song playing in the background is?

[@shch5098]

Mika Immonen just taught SVB how to react the ending.

[@adrian-xd8jd]

I think Shane has had that exact same match losing scratch against Jayson Shaw. Same angle. Same shot. Same pocket….tough.

[@subdue8182]

on of the best draw strokes in the business

[@udtojanpestillos2094]

Only De Luna has the stronger draw. And Judd Trump in snooker.

[@Married2Jamaica]

Van is going to have nightmares about that scratch in the side pocket, I can just imagine how that loss haunted his thoughts after that match😮

[@dwaynehendricks7842]

JJ is the bomb!

[@johndenver752]

What ever happened to Roberto Gomez? After that match he won against Aloysious Yapp where he took 2 minutes to shoot the final ball nobody has heard his name in tournaments anymore. He used to be a very strong filipino player

[@udtojanpestillos2094]

Roberto Gomez is not that good. He has never been a top player. He is on of the best in the world, but never Top 10 or Top 20. There are many better players than him.

[@ajep24]

shane use the same cue for breaking ball?

[@dwaynehendricks7842]

How 'bout going to snooker-style pockets?

[@danielalejandroperezgarcia9237]

oh my god

[@alwayssearching1882]

Ouch.

[@mikea5205]

That fkn music they got playing in the arena is super annoying. Shane is so lucky he can't hear it.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Inside! Not draw! Ah, dam it!

[@tomshaw661]

not the first time shane made that same mistake!

[@raskolnjikov1]

The table obviously sucked the ball in, it was miles from the side pocket

[@olheghtt]

Kyle Amoroto is under investigation for fixing matches.

[@ceretomer5987]

That was messed up.

[@TheRawi]

Last shot by shane very unlucky.

[@joshsomebody832]

Is this the kid that was fixing games/matches and got caught?

[@jusufwang8536]

Belum ngerti politik mau komen..

[@kurida7]

It's too bad that Amoroto sells games. Tsk tsk.

[@ABo-m7c]

Kid took his glove off right in Shane’s sight… that used to be called unsportsmanlike and was an automatic forfeit…

[@knightron]

That's ridiculous lol. Shane wasn't even shooting or aiming and when he got down to shoot the kid was behind him. I take my glove off all the time when I'm not shooting bec my hands sweat a lot. No rules against it.

[@aliawan5490]

lmao thats called crying when your choice of player loses lol

[@ndm19yt]

@@knightron can u put the timestamp?

[@knightron]

​​​​​​​@@ndm19yt first one starts at 1:35:42. The second time, 1:39:56 ,he took his glove off while Shane was looking at the 6 ball with his back turned towards Amoroto.

[@leighatkins22]

No I think if you break your cue and begin to unscrew it, that is a form of forfeit, but gloves are optional so taking that off can't be considered to be anything but someone taking their glove off...

[@missoummohamed]

unforgivable mistake on the part of Shane and Stupidly

[@dronessential]

It sucks you weren't there to make that shot for him...

[@leighatkins22]

Love the recap - "Here's some of the shots that got us there"... like 90% the young guy, a couple by Shane, 90% failed shots, 1 successful unimpressive, the rest all about the young guy and they forget that the match actually reached hill/hill until the last 3 shots... Hardly an impartial recap - racism and favouritism. Try harder Homer. ..

[@isengaja511]

LOL

[@superultra22]

Oof

[@onepocketnovice]

Weird to see so many new gay pool players in this generation. Nothing wrong with that it just curious as to what's bringing them to pool that hasn't existed before FSR, Kyle, Styer, Robinson . . .
