This is why I prefer alternating breaks. Great playing by Jason

I feel bad for the guy. But at the end of the day "Shore" was on point.

“Jason Shore”

10:49 beautiful

Jason was on a roll, & so were the balls, straight into the pockets.

Brilliant timing with the nyc grind sponsor blocking the end 😂

Kicking & racking is a hard way to go down

And that's why efren reyes is the GOAT win or lose he still smiles and has a humble heart.

The fastest race to nine I’ve seen was 1982 Lake Tahoe. Keith Mcready vs Earl Strickland . Match went hill hill 9-8 in fifteen minutes.

The best and worst of 9-ball. The joy of running racks and the horror of being the unlucky opponent :)

As we use to say someone’s got horse shoes falling out their _______ perfect example of getting the rolls. As Earl would say. Jason took advantage as he should and did.

since when is there an 'R' in Shaw

The pool God's blessings fall where and how they choose, maturity is realization. Nice zone Eagleye.

tossing your cue-stick on the floor in frustration, while the other guy is shooting, is low class!

Never saw Mika get tortured before. I bet Earl would have loved commentating this match. Mika did the same to him in Mosconi Cup before. Got the rolls and ran the game over

I've never seen breaks layout so nicely for a player before in my life. Wow.

I swear, I’ve seen this happen to Mika more than anyone else.

crazy

I don’t feel bad for Mika. When he was on his run taking all those tournaments, he was doing this a lot to his opponents. I saw him run an 8-pack on Raj Hundal in a round robin pre us open match. What goes around comes around! Lol

Damn that was a wash. Great run by Shaw.

Glad to see the good sportsmanship from Mika o wait never mind throwing his hands up and not getting up to rack the balls. probably changed the tournment rules right before this rack. it would be nice to see him give up the break when he runs a rack out.

Jayson Shaw in the zone

Why is he calling him Shore?!

This is really demonstrative of the problems I have with tournament 9 ball. This was not an accurate portrayal of Mika and Jason's perspective skill. At some point these guys get to a level where they can break well enough and run nine balls consistently, then it's just whoever wins the coin toss.

Earl “Crybaby” Strickland passed the torch to Mika

“He did nothing wrong” Incorrect the mistake he made was entering this event

This is what Earl used to do to some of his opponents.He was just basically playing by himself like a practice session.

Cawna pawcut!

Give him a break, he laughed at himself at the end of the seventh rack before setting them up again. Not a big fan of either of them going by personalities, but that was an amazing display of quick judgement by Shaw for speed, spin and leave for next shots as well as superb safety play. He was on, Mika wasn't. One thing, that jump shot was ill advised when a bank could have easily put him safe and better chance to play on.

3 words. “im hunnin’ wabbits”

I've never heard of Jayson sure

Would be pretty cool to see the final shot. Oh well.

which year???

Actually he did. Throwing his cue down was very disrespectful to Shaw. And childish. I mean folks miss jump shots most of the time. Getting ran out on over and over sucks but hey it is what it is

It happens

Just bad luck for Mike. One of those days.

The Iceman got a cold

I will never understand why alternating breaks is not the standard.

Jason Shar is playing good here.

Disrespect is a WRONG ATTITUDE

Turning Shaw vs Classic Immonen

14:16 kok ngamokk😁

Talk about 'tearing up the rack'....................

Hey dude he missed a makeable shot on 2 ball .

Be a lot faster without the adverts!!!

Jason Shaw. Hold my beer. Mic drop.

Yeah this happens when you don't play smart with the little chances you get. Mika had his chances. When you have sat in you chair a while. Do not pop up fast when you get a tiny chance. Take your time to prepare your self when it is not a match with shot clock like this one. Take your time to look at all the options. Make 100% sure that you know what you are doing and that it will work. In this match Mika jumped out of his chair his mind was not calm at all. He did not slow down his game. He made mistakes. Sure he got difficult positions to play out of. For difficult shots you need to be completely sure what you are doing, be mentally calm and decisive. And double check. If something does not feel right. Just do not shoot till every thing does feel right.

This guy plays strong for Shore.

Corey duel has done this to Mika too lol....its called a white wash

I wonder how this guy pronounces "awe".

Looks like a slow table for competition

Hell with NYC grind, how can you not show the game winning shot?

harsh for Mika... shaw got all the rolls

Jayson shawrrr

Jason " Shore " bothers me a bit .

Y the video 20 min if it's the shortest match

7:04 dude on the side is so mad

Earl Strickland style pool. Just shoot. No messing around.

Im still wondering who JASON SHORE is that this announcer is talking about. LOL

Hey announcer……who is Jason Shore? I see Jason Shaw playing but no “Shore” anywhere b Lmao……there’s also someone named Meeker

I'm surprised didn't act as bad as when efren smoked him 7-0 in Derby city in 2004

Mika missed a shot on the 1 early in the match. Its not bad luck. He missed his chance

Did Mika do anything wrong?

Mika is very good! 😂😂😂

Mika had the best sit in da house :)

He kept saying "Mika did nothing wrong!".. Well, he had his chances but couldn't make it, no

His name is Sh

Mika got 6 trips to the table and made 4 errors. What game was the commentator watching. Great wIn for SH-AW... jack azz....

Ya can’t leave ur cue down on the table like Jason did 90 seconds in...it’s a foul and seen as measuring device

You need Ronnie O'Sullivan and Tony Drago for the fastest pool match ever 😅

There should be a rule when one win 3 first consecutive games, then the other will break at the next match

Everyone on here flaming Mika. It's a shame he threw his cue, but otherwise he handled it very well. Even Efren shows signs of frustration when losing, and he was getting dunked on through no fault of his own

he missed at least 2 makeable shots so this 'didn't do anything wrong' line is bs. He had a chance in the first frame and he blew it with a rookie miss. more importantly how is the winning shot not on here? wtf?

He missed that 2 ball. Bummer man... lol

This announcer is seriously annoying! He adds r's where they don't belong and omits them where they do belong! I sawr Jason Shawr drinking beeah at the bah! Lol

Damn, after he threw his cue i really hoped he never made a single ball again, doesn't deserve it after that.

They need to get rid of winner breaks. Otherwise you're going to see more and more matches where excellent players don't even get to the table.

Mikes performance is so predictable anymore, its a wonder he still has a sponsor that will tolerate his attitude when things dont go his way. Nobody stays on top forever, 9 ball is so competitive these days.

This man didn't say Jason Shaw's last name right once lmao

Who is Jayson Shore??

Ice man 😁

Jason Shar!!!!

good thing he got 1 score than vs Efren Bata whom he got nothing. merciless Efren Bata Reyes

unlucky day for mika

The Scottish pride was behind Jayson

Just proves the pockets are too big.

I think he did wrong by throwing cue while the game is on going.....

Who's Jason shawr ?? 🤔🤔

Are my eyes fooling me or is he sometimes shooting the 8 ball before the 7 ball?

3:35 why didn’t he combination 1 to 9? Seems like an easy shot no?

What is the point of playing if you dont get a shot

Jayson who?

So satisfaying to see that cocky mika losing again hahahaha

I dont think the commentator know these guys. He dont seem to know pool very well ...but idk

I'm pretty sure this is an old match.

To @UCvJPWoojgkOcP6RLGHhTInw, ​@UCXcqrsKGzm-uIqgP0vFKfdg& Krushard's below comments: You shouldn't be so down saying alternate 9-ball is so unfair. If Mika was playing Jayson in an alternate 9 ball match, with a score of 0 to 8, he NEVER could win. Although we'd keep watching, our watching would be in vain because way before the match was over we already would know he lost. But, in a winner break match which is the way 9 ball has been played forever, he still has a very good chance to win and he's very capable of it. All it would take is to run 7 or 8 racks in a row which, by the way, he's done before. There are a great many examples I could give you three. For instance and this is just one of the matches I’ve seen. Sanjin is playing Josh and is down 4 to 0 and the best he can do is get the score to 4 to 2 because he can't run any racks. It's like watching two pro-bowlers playing alternate frames if that were possible. Neither bowler can even get a double. How boring would that be to watch. A great excitement in watching bowling is seeing 5 or 7 strikes in a row. It's the same for pool to see a string of racks in a row. But with alternate 9-ball, if you get behind 0 to 8, it's almost impossible to catch up. But the main part I don't like is the focus is not on the skills a player has to play the game, but on the lack of skills the player has to make mistakes. This is the only way Sanjin can win. Josh must make mistakes which likely won't happen and neither would they happen with Jayson playing. This is real bad for the game. Finally, where do contributions come from? It isn't the players. In a large part, it's from the fans who want to see an exciting match and I, myself, remember exciting matches for a long time. I have never remembered one single alternate 9-ball match.

Mika didnt do anything wrong?...missed 2 ball, poor safety and a poor jump...more than enough to lose a match at this level...is the commentator watching the same match?

Mika just got efren’d again

I wonder if Mika did anything wrong.

With the nickname The Iceman you would think he was cool under pressure. Far from it Mika!
