[@judeloquellano6648]

Thanks For The Upload! Orcollo is A Beast.

[@gilbertcastro2183]

1st of all thanks for all you do Daniel.. Much appreciated from this pool hall junkie! Lol it's funny how I've been watching for a few days when in reality it's a one day tournament.. Just feels like two-three days! Lol keep em coming!

[@elterrible06]

mika's really fun to watch when he's on a roll. but i just can't help but get annoyed by his antics when things aren't going his way.

[@kabayanhustler]

Thanks for the upload man!!!!

[@POVPOOL]

Love the Javier Bardem profile pic!

[@sato4kaiba]

Daniel, @21:24 Why do pool players do the "spin the cue ball on the rail" before the break? Are they cleaning the chalk off the cue ball? I have seen a few players, professionals and amateurs do the same thing.

[@POVPOOL]

It's to remove residue from the ball and to provide the breaker with a clean ball so that he doesn't mis-cue. However, I prefer to just use my t-shirt or a towel nearby. The rail actually doesn't cover that much surface area on a spherical object.

[@sato4kaiba]

It seems to me to be more of a preference. I also use a towel

[@thug19]

It's not for avoiding miscueing, it's for preventing the cueball from skidding.

[@2kcon491]

Satobatsu Kaiba It removes powder, dirt or any kind of shit from the cue ball. It takes away some sweat on your hand too. Stops skid. Get your English/spin on the cue-ball accurately.

[@courtneyprescott7328]

also how were the ratings calculated ( EX. Orcollo had 996 and Immonen had 846?)

[@eshmekov]

Please describe a few words, what do that ratings (e.g. 996 for Orcollo) means?

[@courtneyprescott7328]

Great tournament I enjoyed watching POVPOOL. I would have shown up but I'm on the east coast.

[@pojhedstrom5328]

What shaft is Dennis playing with in this match?

[@Mr7730]

At 21:16 Daniel's trying to get one of the tourney directors to address the crowd as to this was a championship match and they'd appreciate it if the spectators would keep it down "golf-style", but this should happen before and during the tourney. It's hard to concentrate when you're alone... now add more people and ya got more demons to handle: talking you out of shots making you lose composure. Where ever the distraction is, your cue (mind) follows it.

[@TheAudiophile81]

Are they playing with same cues? (Mezz) Mika's design

[@harabas3499]

+ufuk yucel Dennis is using Tiger cues

[@POVPOOL]

+Harabas349 / Yes - Dennis has been using Tiger for almost 3 years now. He's sponsored by Tiger Products - made in the USA! www.TigerProducts.com

[@workshop777]

Thanks for the upload!

[@simplelangperorock]

35:55 Im a Filipino. Do you know what Dennis was thinking??? He was looking to see if he can squeeze the cue ball between the 6-ball and the 8-ball (2 long rails) to get a shape for the 6-ball.

[@simplelangperorock]

47:50 Mika said (Daniel ) "I tout I saw a puutty cat." lmao

[@jackzhang631]

are these 10 ft table ?

[@vicluevano1222]

Jack Zhang no 4 1/2 X 9

[@smoothcriminal7232]

Mika should spend more time playing in the Philippines where all different types of distractions are just accepted.

[@stevenm6200]

He’s get beat easily lol

[@50emag]

great match. orcollo really asserting himself as one of the best on earth. hits everything so cleanly it's beautiful to watch. entertaining commentary daniel and rich! i taw i taw a puddy tat ahaha >

[@Mega1andy2]

is combinations illegal? in 9 ball?

[@georgemcnulty4691]

Yes. they are illegal. in some states they are a felony with up to 5 years.

[@jamiemckeon1432]

Very illegal. Auto loss of game

[@VictorTimofti]

What was the prize ?

[@POVPOOL]

$4,000 added Tournament - I believe it was $3,500 for first place.

[@VictorTimofti]

ty !

[@CodeBluex13]

The Narrator reminds me of the main character from goodfellas

[@georgemcnulty4691]

people wonder why theres no money in pool, well I don't know the exact answer, theres probably a lot of reasons, But All ill say is when you have two of the best players in the world clashing towards the end of a tournament and the audience is literally 5 guys sitting on barstools then you know your sports in trouble.

[@markandapps]

When you love the game, money becomes secondary.

[@Kentucky_Blue]

I think Mika is and will be one of the best players ever. I also think he got there by sheer will. I don't think he loves the game like Efren, and it shows when he isn't playing well.

[@tadeogames4634]

Y de pronto un comentario en español

[@Mega1andy2]

also is bank shots illegal in 9 ball?

[@jamiestewart2855]

No they are not.Any combination into any other ball is legal as long as the lowest number ball is contacted first.

[@RandomPerson-uq8oe]

I like how the camera kept rolling in the end

[@vher143]

you did not make a mistake its Orcollio who forgot to move his bidd..

[@jaysmith7137]

The way dennis racks he makes the 1 ball in the right side pocket and alot of the time also the 4 ball

[@vher143]

Dennis forgot to move his bidd it is 5 to 1..

[@kevinmel23]

how are you gonna blame someone for moving too much? Mika is good but the great players can continue playing through any distraction.

[@codygibbons5662]

mika is a hall of famers douche

[@chemlnarik434]

indeed

[@2kcon491]

45:30 secs. Mika got "sharked" when the guy with the yellow shirt kept moving his feet while Mika was stroking the 3-ball.

[@2kcon491]

lmao. Tweety bird

[@heginschristianstrong7707]

yup. just an excuse to blame someone other than himself for missing.

[@music4fun1980]

Mo

[@goldie2879]

That's 1 of the advantages of rack your own. You can pattern your rack lol

[@jonathanliberty2987]

I think I know that guy in the yellow and green best, his name is Walter and he helps run a southern California pool hall and bar. he can play himself very well. I don't know what made him a distraction to Mika though.

[@walk50]

Well I believe the table conditions were a but tuff if u watch thhe cue ball there not enough slide on the cloth so it plays tough so certain shots will have a higher chance of missing shots denis just happen to have good breakd where the balls lined up so it worked out but even Dennis was having trouble potting some shots mika was just unlucky and with winner break its easy to clock 3 to 4 racks if the break working for u

[@skunkydonkey3897]

Mika is good but man he's just a crybaby when things don't go his way. Congrats to Orcollo, the better player won this match.

[@thegreatjspr]

So mika is blaming the audience for missing the shot on that 3?!!thats so unprofessional...

[@ludymeldulalas4858]

He can play at the cave that no one can disturb him.

[@ricardo7743]

I like these 2 commentators and I hate to say anything negative but they need to realize breathing threw your nose heavy is not good,please be aware.Thank You.

[@franktib]

Mika Immonen=Best

[@terryxtang]

thats why he lost

[@termite122]

looks like there both using the same cue..dont see that too often..

[@markandapps]

Mika will always be remembered the other end of the highlights like Corey's or that insane 8 ball runout or Bata's kickshots. Mika is an amazing player but a sore loser like Strickland.

[@atonibai]

POV Pool King DO

[@ajcampbell1989]

Mika likes to bitch if he's not perfect on each shot. Thats what makes him good. Cry baby or not the big baby can shoot some pool!

[@ericmaldonado1373]

Dennis, let someone else do the racking 😆

[@phoojywgciasiab]

they cheated... they did the score of him having 5 pts twice.

[@peacefulman4594]

he really deserves to loose. very unprofessional and he was just humiliating himself out there. of course to every game there must be a loser or there would be no winners. but what a loser he is, in the heart !!!

[@grazianop2706]

The players are good. The commentators need some work. Too glib.

[@johntate9647]

I couldn't watch any more of Dennis's cheating beyond 27 minutes worth. Note the racks that Dennis racked for himself..ALL THE BALLS ARE ALL IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION 1-9 in racks at 1:20, 4:44, 8:30, 16:04, 18:19, 21:10 and 26:05. It's called pattern racking and it's illegal according to the rules. It gives a predictable outcome such as the 2 in front of the side pocket. I guess if you have to cheat, you have to cheat. Hey Mika, he stole from you.

[@harabas3499]

+John Tate Mika racked the same way stupid!!! even Strickland suggested that the 2 ball should be placed opposite the 9 ball, saying that the player who makes a ball after breaking deserves a shot at the 2 ball, and it was done ever since, he even won the championship at the world pool league against Django and nobody complained, Mika had his chances but simply missed some easy shots that day, grow up! you are making a fool of yourself with your stupidity

[@johntate9647]

+Harabas349 It's pattern racking and against the BCA rules that govern pool. Orcollo is a cheater.

[@harabas3499]

John Tate if that is so, that makes mika a cheater too right??? and so is strickland, as i reckon he is the first one to suggest that, now since you only accuse Dennis, why not accuse the organizers too for not enforcing that rule you say??? you are just envious of other people's skills

[@johntate9647]

+Harabas349 Envious? No. Do I admire their talent? Yes. If I played their speed, I still wouldn't be able to make a living off pool. There isn't any money in it after expenses. I think the country is loaded with players that play at or close to pro level. I spank the players I match up with and I'm thankful when I find a strong opponent because it means I have to reach top end in order to win. I only duck one guy and he plays so slow, you can fall asleep in a 9 ball game. For me, it's just fun. I don't rob people. If they like to gamble, I'll take their money but I always pay the time too.

[@johntate9647]

+Harabas349 I notice Dennis's stroke. He doesn't have much of a backswing. Alan Hopkins plays the same way and so does Alex.

[@EdWong2012]

Mika is a cry-baby, poor sport. He"s not as good as he thinks he is. Efren taught him that years ago.

[@RedlovesThunder]

When will Mika give up his self-centered attitude? Always nice to see him lose!
