2013 US Bar Table Championships 9 BALL FINAL: Dennis Orcollo vs Shane Van Boening 

Damn they make it look soooo easy.

It clearly states that it is a bar table in the description...

11 years have past now….. myself, just like these two, have half the amount of hair on my head now lol

I could watch these 2 guys play all day.

dont mock the commentator guyz .. he is a fine class referee and a gr8 commentator whoz bin in pool almost his life

From the whatever it's worth department. NICE CAMERA WORK. Wish this kind of camera work was more common in pocket billiard matches. More cameras would have helped for some shots but overall crisp and clean.

super pro ,gagner a ce niveau,regarder c est tout en douceur,un meilleur break,une faute de moins et c est joué bravo.

Waow, the speed of shane's cueball is amazing.

Soft break makes it too easy to run out I’m glad they made the rule that 3 balls have to go past the middle pocket on a break

It's a standard bar table. 7 ft by 3.5 ft. A table you would find in any bar.

I think Dennis was saying in rack 15 when he did a one handed shot that 9 ball is stupid on a Bar box.

2 of the greatest players of all time...1 bad roll will cost either 1 of these guys the match..

the size of table and dimensions are really a big factors in this match or any match

14:09 After the fluke on the 9, the commentator said: "Dennis is embarrassed by that. He doesn't wanna win that way." This is bullshit. Of course he does. A player will take a win regardless of how. If he really didn't want to win a game that way, it would not matter. The rule says you win if you pocket the nine ball.

are these tables 8 foot or 7

And he wears the glove because he sponsored by the company that makes the glove gladly wears it because they pay him thousands a year to wear it

Yup. Bar table.

Thank you.

Amazing billiards play

indeed the best... also did you see Dennis's style of play... like a walk in the park :)

I like the way they play. They don't stand around and look at angles for a minute between shots.

First, this is a bar table as noted in the title. It is 7'x3.5'. I am unsure what Pubs have but that is usual bar table for a bar. If anyone buys a table they are available in 7', 8', and 9'. Most buy the bar table in the US so they can practice with same size. I did not hear it was Philippines but the sport there is #2 only behind basketball which is #1. I do not watch or play basketball, although I did play a boy in the neighborhood in Cabanatuan City when I was there in the Philippines. I have seen racking done by hand in professional play! Rionel, I was blessed to play in Makita at a Reyes Pool Hall where a student of Reyes was part of family. He beat me 2 of 3 although my adopted son was having a clot removed in his brain for a motorcycle accident... Wear your helmet!

I just watched the ultimate 10 ball challenge on the 10 foot Diamond tables. These bar tables look so small!

That magic rack is insanely thick. That specific one! It moved balls out of the way even during the break lol!

Sensationalizing the no bridge shot at 47:32... Maybe not common to see in international competitions, but I see that in money games in the Philippines as handicap...

Some great commentating

Does anyone else notice the weird roll the cue ball takes when Dennis makes the 4 ball in rack 3?

Shane is an amazing player AND a really nice guy, so maybe you're the one who should get off the commentators nuts. Also, he said Dennis didn't want to win that rack by accidentally cheesing the nine, how is that calling him a jerk???

14:00 - what a shot!

Shane is smart to use some eye candy for that instructional video. Jennifer is looking good

what kind of rack are they using?

the table is smaller than the standard?

I think Dennis learned that shot at 14:00 from watching me bang balls around lol

how big is that table? is that a 7 ft one?

I love the measle ball. It doesn't play any differently than an aramith.

27:55 lol... pro magicrack removal there :)

Is the table small?

that glove thingy is cool...i want one!

PHILIPPINES ... YEAHHHH

Why are they breaking so lightly? Is that a thing for 9ball on bar tables?

Why this table is so small?

Lack of respect for the game and his opponent.

NICE!!!!

I can pretty much guarantee there's not one professional player that prefers the TV ball (with the red dots). The only reason that ball exists is so spectators can see the spin they put on the cue ball on TV, it has nothing to do with professionalism. This wasn't on TV, it was streamed on the internet by TAR, who are probably the most professional guys in the business right now. They're also playing on (arguably) the best equipment there is as far as bar tables go.

i never said shane wasn't a good player or a nice guys, so i dont know why you felt the need to say that. all i was doing was pointing out how the commentator praises shane the entire match. The commentator felt the need to constantly bring up the nine ball going in which ever rack it was.

This magic rack is bullshit. Play the game how it was 'originally' setout.

Is that a 7ft table?

well, probably, but why did he use so much back rotation? :)

dennis is probably the strongest player in the world right now, next to shane.

how do they rack with no ....well rack..

He's the new reyes!

lmao to me that's a little disrespectful. Im glad I watched this all the way through haha

nah Shane is not his grandson. Ken and Shane are just better friends than Ken and Dennis. Dennis just kinda keeps to himself for the most part, while Shane is always in the mix wherever he is which is why, IMO, people tend to favor him more. All three of them are pretty cool guys.

ESPN is like watching pool like this..

Don't they have to call the pocket for the nine ball? 14:00

dhan is right in a way. usually when your on fire in a tourney, you do get a few rolls your way, aka lucky. so when you shoot good you usually get a few lucky rolls and bounces. BUT, mr 73172 is right too, any first timer or shooters in a shitty league can and do get very lucky! but its easy to distinguish the two lol :) shane hands down is destroying everybody right now. his breaks you cant stop and therefore you cant stop him, esp in 9 ball.

The announcer was clearly biased the entire tournament. If you watch the other matches Shane played, regardless of what happened on the table, he always heaped unending praise on Shane and always questioned Shane's opponent. Maybe Shane is his grandson or something?

Bar tables look like toys

Guys did he foul at 27:55 when taking off the magic rack???

These camera angles are terrible. Please pick an angle and stick with it (preferably the entire table).

Is this a 7ft table?

is that a 7 foot table????

Haha! That 9-ball rolled off big time.

Dennis got some nice shoes

There goes ur one handed shot!!

Shane van Boening

Foul occurs at 27:56, start watching at 26:50.

wtf what table is this? 7ft?

The table looks so small

the table looks smaller than the usual...

good ! good !

Philippines

he always do that

Lets be honest guys, if you were commentating this, you would probably say a lot more absurd things.

WTF no fault when you move a ball during removing the magic rack? weird.

If a ref would have been there, he would've taken the magic rack off...

Glad they banned the “soft break”

Dennis was being disrespectful to Shane, No other way around it, Him shooting the 7 ball one handed shows that he has 0 respect for SVB

It's like watching pool on ESPN...

hahaha thats why dennis orcullo easy to make a shot coz in philippines they always used a big table...

goood

Thumbs up for the great match. 100 thumbs down for the biased commentator. Screw him. Hope he never does it again.

sometimes i think magic racks are a bad thing.

luck (and it is one of those weird things) only seems to happen when you are playing well, i think its called "the run of the balls" these guys will apologise for any lucky shot, but they do accept that it can happen, the best players know it wasn't meant.

"but thats in the past"... (10 seconds later) "thats probably karma for what happened before"

เก่งจัง

Why the g@y brake?

god its just childs play for them

that called "push out"

47:30 how was that disrespectful? It was easier than reaching and pulling a muscle. This commentator is so full of it!

give him a break those things are transparent and twist and turn easily

I laugh at people complaining about the glove. You are just hilarious. If it's legal why do people complain about other people preference and play style? Do you get beat by people wearing gloves all of the time? Maybe try a glove yourself.

jesus....all for 4700 bucks. Shoulda been a pro golfer instead

Good $

reyes, Bustamante, mosconi, Strickland. greatest of all time I think not

Dennis fouls at about 28:00. If this match were refereed that would have been called.

Bar table Championships...7 foot table, not the standard 9 footers

THEY ARE NOT SERVING. This is pool not tennis. They are 'on break', 'down a break game', up a break' etc. Please!!

its called BAR TABLE Championships... haha 7 foot tables are bar tables.... how do people who watch this not know that?

Shane looks like Macklemore
