Wow. I would not have minded a bet on Ko winning at that point. He must have been massive price to do that. Class performance.

What an achievement for the 18 year old, to run 11 racks on the trot under that sort of pressure at that age, brilliant

forget his age and pressure
theres no pressure at 14-4 down his resigned to losing
but i would think when the score was 14-10 he felt a chance would like to see how the table was breaking and the size of pockets to see how good it was.
but if his run the match from 14-4 to win 15-14 in the final
its probably one of the greatest achievements of all time in 9ball! amazing!

Spoke to Courtney Symonds who got to last 16,
he watched the whole match and felt it was one of those one off things that he may never witness again. "Amazing" he said, Pin Yi Ko just finished on the next ball after EVERY break and simply dished each table. Took his time on each shot as if it were Hill-Hill on every rack -
Fantastic achievement
And well done to Courtney who got to last 16 on his "c" game. Hes still practicing every day and getting more and more comfortable with the surroundings - He Beat Gomez in his group stages 7.3. Only short race but still good achievement

Wow I could not believe this when I read it. Orcollo must be gutted, but a fantastic achievement, this sort of thing happens once every 5 years or so, but in a final is exceptional.
