12:30, this missed shot cost Tony the match. If he runout from here, he is up 3 - 1 with the break coming up. Tyler took advantage and won the match, great job.
What are you talking about? At 17:00 he has control of the table and its tied 2-2 and he runs it out making it 3-2 in his favor. It's a race to 7, not 5 so there was nothing absolutely crucial or match breaking about that mistake. 8 ball takes some luck on the break to get a cleaner table to run out and not get your cue ball frozen or stuck to an object ball on a bar box. I also disagree with anyone who thinks bar boxes are harder to play on a 7 foot Diamond than a 9 foot Diamond with Matchroom invitational size pockets at 4'' or standard tournament 4.25". The shot making ability and degree of skill it takes to make long tough cut shots on a 9 footer is infinitely harder than on a 7 footer. But 7 footers are more about understanding patterns to run out and seeing those patterns and trouble areas of the table and dealing with them versus pure shot making.
