Love Alex, but that respot at 23:20 was dirty. Not sure if he did it by mistake or deliberately, but placing it on the spot instead of the second diamond made Frankie have to play a much tougher positional shot, when he should have had 3 easy accessible balls after the 8. It changed the whole match.
I can't make them out in this view but, for some tournaments, there are _two_ spots marked. The added, higher, spot is for 9-ball. If I remember correctly, that's because people got _too good_ at 9-ball breaks so now they put the 9-ball on the spot (using that higher mark) to increase difficulty. -- Someone please affirm this, or correct it if I got it wrong.
Grateful that you guys put these videos up

Oh my goodness I didn’t catch that the first time I watched it. Wow lol
Alex is the man
"Got your options, spot it here, spot it there". LOL Why is the table not marked, or spotted?
Thx for the commentary.

Should Ruiz have shot for his pocket late 2nd match, up 7-6? He either makes or leaves his ball in his pocket and makes AP #3 ball.
39:00 Pow!
47:14 😮
Oscars shoe game though....😄
Please re-label this match as
Alex Pagulayan vs Frankie Ruiz vs John Morra
