This is the end of game 1 for those of you who asked for it. Martinez needs 2 balls from here and Ochoa needs 1. It's RM's shot.
S. Ochoa vs. R. Martinez

Now you've ruined it for poor Larry (lll)...He wanted to go through the entire DVD, shot by shot, before exposing the end of the game...
PS...Bless you my son... I could not have lived thru it all...
(Sorry Larry)PPS...Can't you see how excited the "huge" audience is, over the game...

P.S. The commentators of the match said there were 200 people watching from around the room, just not always on camera.

Almost nothing Rafael ever does surprises me, having watched him pull of remarkable shots (against me and others) time after time.
This one was a little surprising.

Are you gonna tell me that Rafael actually makes the twice-straight-back on the 3ball and also 3-rail-billiards in the striped ball, for a shot at the then spotted ball to win the game?..
..if he did that, that's as strong as it gets...- Ghost

I was commentating this one and we had over five hundred on line and most of the room was watching at one time or another. Ghost, the two rail bank and kick in the hanger would be something I would shoot. RM after fighting back from a minus three in this game, shot the.................

Looks like to me that the 5 railer in not an option, knowing R.M. as well as I think I do i'm leaning with the cross corner bank on the 3 ball and spin two cushions pocketing the stripe. The two rail bank shot , the one that Ghost chose is certainly not out of the question. Either shot would be very difficult to execute, but if any one could pull it off it would be R.M.
Providing he was mentally tough enough.

This isn't my thread to say what he did, and I just watched the dvd the other day, but... I will say this: RM is full of surprises... seems to be the type player that is really dangerous - unpredictable and loaded with firepower.
Which probably is what is keeping him from winning the big tournaments.
Regardless, I really enjoy watching him play.

Yeah I noticed that as well, its just not possible to build a stadium big enough to fit all the one hole fans in at the same time. My God the $$$ from the gate there alone must be enough to buy several small countries alone. There isnt a game with a bigger draw than one pocket.

The funny part is what people did not see,the rail is so big there at CBC that most people were out of view of the camera, I would say around that time of the match there were around 200 people in the room and 50 on the rail watching this match, the other people were watching the main playing area where you can sweat many matches at one time.

Okay, now that we have that five-railer out of the way, I think Rafael spins in the cross corner and swings the cue ball two rails to knock in the last ball up underneath where he is standing -- which spots right away in this case, and Rafael gets a free swing at game ball!
Steve <-- still hasn't watched the DVD, but it is getting tougher to hold off, lol.

This match was in the early afternoon PST Many of the spectators had set seats either on the rail where the streaming took place or on the sides. The tables you see in the background filled up later in the day. CBC had plenty of room for all the players and a horde of spectators. Does anyone believe that 48 top one pocket players with many of them world champions would not draw a huge crowd. Look at the DCC in Podunk, Indiana. It's in the middle of KKK country, three miles from the closet hick town, and the placed is filled every year. CBC is in the middle of heavily population N California silicon valley and the San Francisco peninsula. There were plenty of people there and those of you who couldn't make it, will be coming next year or the year after for more great one pocket.
