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

[@clevermikethay]

despite all of the flukes and blunders made in this match between SVB and Amoroto, the shotmaking from both players are just too good!! That last rack was very thrilling!

[@bmmd2332]

WoW!! What a match!

[@gregaclark2]

Shane scratched several times on the break, and Kyle made 2 golden breaks, and it was still a hill-hill match. Shane scratched in the side getting routine position from the 7 to the 8 in the final rack. Kyle played well, and is clearly excellent, but the match was intense because of the crazy number of flukes, not because it was some master-class shootout.

[@jamesdavis8731]

Exactly, this was more a matter of SVB just making stupid mistakes. I posted earlier that the scratch by SVB in the last rack was inexcusable. It was routine position and absolutely no need to even get close to the long rail.

[@tjblackartist]

And on one of the fluke scratches by Shane it left a relatively easy 2-9 combo. Another easy game for Kyle. So 3 games total were very easy wins for Kyle. That’s pool folks! Shane is sore I’m sure but he also understands that that’s pool folks! It’s happened to me a million times. Wish I could get on the other end of that for once. I’ve had to grind out every win in every tournament and face bad luck against opponents who get lucky. 🤷‍♂️. Maybe one day my luck will turn. Haha. I won a few tournaments last year. Have played only two tournaments this year due to health issues. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to enter a lot more tournaments. God bless y’all.

[@georgesotiriou7051]

The mistake at the end by Shane was shocking. He could have taken a bit more time with the shot.

[@davidparker8475]

@@jamesdavis8731 Many would disagree. For example, two scratches on the break were kicked in. These aren't preventable of predictable. Add two golden breaks, well that's 4 games which can make a difference.

[@jamesdavis8731]

@@davidparker8475 It doesn't matter. Shane still missed easy shots and easy position play. It has been a habit of his this year. He is a better player than he has showed most of the year. The mistakes he has made would not be made by most amateurs.

Top quality stuff, the shotmaking's outstanding.

I saw Shane's scratch coming. More cautious cueing and a slightly harder shot was the way to go. That last rack was great.

[@charlesfair1582]

Has Shane put the extension back on? Has he said anything about it?

[@charlesfair1582]

Wow. What a finish. Don’t read this if you don’t want to know. Kyle removed his glove when Shane shot the 2. Kyle put his glove back on when he saw Shane leave himself bad on the 4. Kyle removed his glove again when he left Shane a shot on the 4. Shane runs to the seven, scratches, and Kyle is scrambling to get his glove back on. Hilarious

[@bobbyrobert5493]

Im 65 was on the road from the late 70's to early nineties There were players out there who u never heard of as good as anybody thats alive today it was all gambling until tv came along we played 2 shot rollout back then a totally offensive game hell i knew of many pool halls were if u played a safe it better be by accident I think we should go back this game I was taught the object of rotation games is to run out now its shoot 3 balls and duck Just my opnion im old Nowadays he who has the most firepower doesnt necessarily win in my era it usually did

[@Downecker]

That's an impressive background! I'm a " ham & egger" in pool but I never liked 9 ball. Playing safe was called " rat pool" and not a healthy thing to do. I'm 74 and played 8 ball or straight pool! Growing up in Newark NJ exposed me to some great hustlers! Look and learn, play and learn more!

Today I will share may unsolicited opinion. That KARL AMOROTO is GREATER than SVB! Since svb is greater than the magician. Therefore amoroto is the G.O.A.T😊

[@CKC-gk2dh]

1:35:28 There should be a rule implemented that you concede the game if you take off your glove! It should be the same as breaking down your cue. Do either and the game is over. It's very unsportsmanlike. He does it again after Shane pockets the purple 5 but Shane is blocking us from us seeing it.

[@kingofcastlechaos]

I feel just as strongly about this disgusting habit of smearing chalk on the tip of the cue while standing up. All should be disqualified!!!! If that seems ridiculous we have a lot in common.

[@panchomunoz3]

Did Kyle remove his glove in front of Shane? Otherwise, it is not sharking.

[@hammerlane3871]

The fact that this went hill/hill with the amount of flukes that Kyle had just kinda proves that the best of svb has come and gone. As much as I love watching him play, he's nothing like he was back in the mid teens (2014, 2015, 2016, etc)

[@k3ithf00ng]

Agreed, I still love him but his best was in those years you mentioned. The pure strokes and confidence he used to have, there’s just a tinge of impatience in him nowadays

[@hammerlane3871]

@keithfoong4796 oh yeah he was truly an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. I think the most impressive thing he did was defending his title at the world pool masters when he completely steamrolled the entire field. I did feel bad for haitao though, he really didn't do much wrong to deserve an asswhooping like that.

[@k3ithf00ng]

@@hammerlane3871 just rewatched it and sheesh I forgot how fluid his stroke is. It still is now, but like I said, tinge of impatience there. He got the breaks down before this but he keeps scratching with the box rule nowadays. 10 ball break still an absolute monster though.

[@alogmoreno4185]

I love SVB as well, but you can't say that he's the best at the tournament scene. Efren has won tons of tournaments as well, and he caught Efren, Earl, Django, Mika, Socquet and all these legends on their twilight years. You can't tell me SVB can beat those players in their primes man.

[@robtountas7292]

You serious? More us open wins.... arguably the hardest tournament to win. And he played all of those players in their prime. It's not like the guy has only been around for a handful of years. 😂 clown.

[@jamesdavis8731]

Jeremy Jones seems blind to the fact that SVB is simply not the same player he has been in the past. This was a super shaky performance by SVB. Jones says SVB has to be happy with how he hit the seven in the last rack! You cannot be serious. That was a three ball run out that most mediocre amateurs could have run out. There was absolutely no excuse for SVB even getting close to the long rail.

Last week we've witnessed the greatest pool match ever played, Ko Ping Chung vs. Aloysius Yapp. This match here, again, is amongst the very best too BUT for very different reasons. No spoilers here but this match is PROOF of getting rid of the shot clock. This match was "nail biting." How often can you say that about pool? The safety battle was insane. It would not have been the same with that annoying beeping clock causing players to make hasty decisions. Get some snacks and drinks, buckle in, and enjoy.

[@jamesdavis8731]

NO no no. The shot clock is needed. Period. This was a very sloppy match. I guarantee you neither of the players thought they played well. SVB was a comedy of errors. If either SVB or Amoroto had played a top level player in form they would have gotten run over.

Some who doesnt know Pool that much says SVB is bettet than PRIME EFREN just because of his 5 US OPEN tittles vs EFREN's Only 1? In terms of Skills, the only shot that SVB does better than PRIME EFREN is his BREAK and his JUMPS. But other than that, nothing more. Put SVB vs PRIME EFREN in a 15BALL ROTATION GAME, im pretty sure PRIME EFREN would school SVB.

When it comes to SVB’s game Jeremy Jones is blind. His safety play is by FAR the weakest part of his game, and his scratching on the break is his second most weakness. I’ve watched dozens of his matches, and the weaknesses are indisputable. 1:01:04

[@jamesdavis8731]

Yes, JJ is very biasted towards SVB. SVB is my favorite player, but he is not playing well. If he does not dominate on the break he struggles because his safety play and shot selections at times are bizarre. The scratch in the last rack is something a good amateur would not have made. I am not close to a pro, but I could run the final three balls 95% of the time. Stunning that SVB would make such a silly mistake - but it has been his history this year.

My guess is he feels he can break harder with more control with his playing cue, but obviously I don’t know for sure. It’s also entirely possible he got frustrated with how he was breaking, and decided to mix things up. Even with the scratches, he was breaking incredible in that match.

The only arguement the could make is SVB won more US open than EBR. I say look and at the Derby City Titles these two has, SVB would not even come close. Efren won every major tournament there is. SVB should have more US open titles cuz he lives in the US. He has all the luxury to win it. Efren changed the way the game is being played today, EBR was way ahead of this time with inferior tools and he has done it all. Go ask google what titles efren won and compare it to SVb.

You are correct. That is why I’m saying it would be almost impossible to compare Evern to SVB. Both are dominant in their own times but I couldn’t say who is the better player straight up. SVB still has several years to add trophies. Regardless as to who is the best I really enjoy watching both of them. I think Efern has better focus. SVB seems to lose concentration at times. That may not be the right word but he certainly will miss on a ball that he normally makes with ease.

You put them both on a table with bar cues and Efren would spank him. He is a mathematical genius on a pool table and can out-kick, bank, masse, etc. They dont call him the "Magician" for nothing.
