Scott was giving up 8-7 for 15k in a 8 ahead matchup at Pool Sharks in Vegas last night.
Apparently it was over pretty quick, with Shane winning handily.
While I agree that Shane deserves a spot, how little it might be, since he's playing a elite top level onepocket champion, does anyone else think that 8-7 is a bad spot? I mean I would think they would have to go to more balls.10-9 or 13-12 or something. It just seems that 7 is such a small number of balls for a guy that's going to run a lot of balls if given any chance to do so. At least having to go to more balls, the game might not be over with so soon.
Then again, I guess Scott should be out quick too though. Then again.. Shane won, so I guess it wasn't a bad spot. Just seems the higher number of balls someone has to get too, favors the onepocket player, instead of the shooter. The shooter is going to get chunks of 6 or 8, but at least the game wouldn't be over.
I think SVB has the potential to end up being possibly, another Efren. Someone who is going to win for several decades and be talked about as being one of the all time greatest players, ever.
This is a guy that lives and breathes pool. He is someone who practices hard. A proven champion who continues to practice, just like all those years he did before he was a champion. If he's not in action, he's practicing.
I am very impressed with this young man. He has got it sh1t straight, isn't into drugs, doesn't run with the wrong crowd, isn't out robbing rich guys who can't play, isn't full of himself, bets his own money, is scared of no one and seeks out tough games, plays all games and isn't a loudmouth, just let's his cue do his talking.
He said on his Facebook page, that he may be moving to Vegas because there's money there. He has enough discipline that I can see him not getting sucked into losing all his hard earned money in a casino.
Shane said he will be a the pool hall again tonight.... so something may go down again... who knows!
