FINAL | Albin Ouschan vs Shane Van Boening | 2022 World Pool Championship 

Love Shane. Great competitor and such a humble and nice dude. World Champ!

It is pure pleasure listening to Jeremy Jones talk about the mindset and intricacies of top-level billiards as this match is ongoing. He constantly amazes me with his analysis and observations. Kelly Fisher's commentary is superb as well. Thank you, both. Thanks also to Matchroom Pool making the videos available to billiard fans all over this incredible world. AND CONGRATS SVB!!!

So happy for Shane, it's been a long time coming, great job!!!

Hard work pays off!! Congratulations Shane, there's not another player more deserving of this title..

Delighted for Shane. He's now got the title he always deserved.

Finally Shane, congrats. And go ahead and keep that 9-ball 😀

Think in that thumbnail Ouschan is showing the most emotion he's ever shown

We need to start having these championships in front of bigger crowds, small stadium theatre type of arena with seating above the table level with jumbletron screen

I love both Albin and SVB. Both very classy man and great talents.

Congratulations Shane!!!! Well-deserved!!!! And THANK YOU MATCHROOM!!!! It's wonderful that you are supporting the growing popularity of this incredible game of skill, control, strategy, and finesse!

Love the confidence of Shane when he's in the zone. Slayed a Giant

Congrats SVB! finally you get there. And i like how Ouschan praise his opponent, very humble. What a match

Met Shane in manila in 2010, I think he was 25… great person and I been following him ever since. One the greatest of players ever to play.

Shane is a fighter and he deserves every win in this world. Congrats Champ VanBoening 🏆

It makes me sick to see the world 9 ball championship with empty seats. This game needs to be more popular.

Such a beautifully humble guy. An amazing Master. So well earned, so happy for him. Fantastic! Great game!!!

What a fantastic tournament and final match! You have your world title now! Your career has its crowning victory. Congrats to you, Shane.

All the way from south africa !!!...and I gotta confess Shane is one of my top 2 best players just behind Efren Reyes. And I've never been so happy for him🎉

Thanks Matchroom pool for d finals update! God bless U nd more power! 👍😊

ive watched the ending so many times; it never gets old!

Hard to believe SVB bested Albin here. Albin is a clinical machine at this point in his career. Albin's game 7 scratch on the break was the single turning point, imo. He would have been up 5-2 and still breaking. Hats off to Shane for an incredible run of racks to keep Albin seated!

The seating in pool matches needs to be rethought and redesigned. The crowd sits so far away, and at the same level as the table so they can't see much. Let's get the crowd a lot closer and looking down from a second level 10 ft over the table, at least. Then the first level can be for the players and cameras only. Fix these 2 things and there will be bigger crowds, It's just easier to watch pool on a TV screen

Is it me or do these matches always go in and out of audio ? Weirdest thing ..

@ 37:46 I don't understand the cameraperson's intent here. Camera operators need to stop trying to make this so dramatic. This is a pool match, not a remake of The Color of Money, trying to win an academy award for ... You are missing half of the shot, which is: watching the cue ball come around 2 rails for the next shot, the 5 ball. There was absolutely no need to zoom the camera in close on that 2 ball shot. Your camera tricks made us viewers miss half of the shot sequence (pocketing the object ball and the concurrent full path of the cue ball) Please, no more changing camera angles during the middle of a shot. Everything else was golden, nice work to document this.

Great match and top notch commentary team. Juust wish we could hear them between racks, too!

Are there copyrights, or something that are muting dialogue in between matches?

The way that cue ball spun into the middle pocket on the 6th rack break, you could really see the emotion on Ouschan's face for the entire rack as it gave SVB the opportunity to run the rack. Ouschan was looking down at the floor the whole time. SVB takes advantage of tough breaks like that and Ouschan knew it. The momentum shifted in SVB's direction from that point on. Wild finish.

Big Fan of Shane, so glad to see him win the World Championship. he deserves it! Well done Shane. ECF

Why so few in the seats? Should fill those seats at all costs. Optics don't look good for a final match.

From South Dakota here. Watched Shane as play as a kid. Makes us proud. Beautiful play by both and hats off to Albin for his humble defeat.

Heck yeah SVB, you're an inspiration to all of us!

Congratulations SVB....UV COME A LONG WAY...U DESERVE IT

what is the point of muting the audio in between racks?

The comeback from 10-3 against Immonen and all the way to the end, true grit of a sportsman.

I don't know why y'all are cutting the commentary between matches I would prefer you keep it running sounds much better than chopping the volume

Shane's hard work for so long brought him what he needed, he laid down a 7-pack and that's all she wrote. So proud of him.

great thing about shane shot is that he got that delay and its so good in terms of feeling where the cue ball gonna end at, everything else was smooth for him and great win

Albin is very classy in defeat! Congrats to Shane!

Beautiful venue and first class tournament put on by Matchroom. Hard to believe a world championship event draws so few spectators.

According to what I’ve seen tonight, Albin has made every shot he’s tried…if he has missed, I haven’t seen it yet…this guy is exemplary…wow…

Hey Matchroom, could you please fix the audio issues. I assume it's a copyright thing with music being played at the venue. Sure...but it's a great chance, in between racks, for the commentators to talk about some things other than the current game being played. And I'm hanging on every word! Just seems a little strange that such a successful platform, such as yours, would have such an obvious anomaly. That said, thanks for providing all the great quality content, and for free! I'm eating it up. LIKE!

Can you rotate commentators like bring Earl in to commentate 👍🏼

Great match and all, but why does the sound cut out between racks and at the end?

I’m so happy for Shane. You just now how bad he wanted this one. It was the missing piece on the resume of arguably the GOAT !

Congratulations SVB - great tournament!

Shane is really definition of NEVER GIVE UP . Lost to Ko Pin Yi Lost to Albin Finally he is arrived

I love WATCHING SHANE play he is the best player

The one who breaks first has such a great advantage in this game.

Why is the sound on this video “off and on?”

Thats jeremy jones commentating right? Hes very good at it. Kelly fisher is always a good to hear her. Shes still on top of female pool world. Two time michigan open champion kelly fisher.

Todo un espectáculo ver a estos dos grades jugadores,

The shot clock buzzer sucks here. In others, they have no buzzer and an auto extension if you have it, much nicer.

I could tell after rack 12 that Ouschan was in trouble. What a brilliant performance.

World final, live in front of 18 people blows me away

Great job Shane your a true legend and inspiration

Love WATCHING Shane play he is the best POOL player so so happy for you

I can't think of anyone more deserving, I was never happier to see you win SVB!! CHAMPION

Just asking? What is that thing they look at each and everytime they are playing? They always look at something up there ?

Perdón la ignorancia pero, siempre que jugué pool o billar sin importar modalidad la 4 era violeta, por qué acá es rosada?

1:15 is Mayim Bialik ???

With respect and appreciation, can we please put the name's of the commentators in the description.

Matchroom. Great broadcast, but WTF is the deal with the audio cutting in and out on every video???

So thrilling to watch that last 9 ball go in

You could tell how bad Shane wanted that. He stayed nervous sort of the whole match. And with the final 9 straight in, he took extra time to breathe and savor it... I think because this one eluded him he wanted it extra bad.

I am your fans from Indonesia Good job SVB

Phil Yates was wrong about the comparisons of SVB and Tiger. SVB did win his first major as a professional. The U.S. Open in 2007. SVB has 5 U.S. Opens, a World 9-ball, a World 8-ball, a World 14.1, 2 Derby Masters of the Table, and many U.S. Open titles in 10-ball, 8-ball, and One Pocket. I think SVB has at least 17+ “major” titles.

Unbelievable! Shane van Boening 👍👍👍🇺🇲🥇🏆

Long time for this title. Congrast svb

Need to turn the sound back on during break

Yes Shane you’re the champion. Great match with great champion.

Fantastic play by both players Both equally capable of winning But... Am I missing something? Why were there so many empty seats? Is it a private tournament? If it had been the world snooker tournament the place would have been packed

Congratulations Shane! 👏🏽

Can someone explain when Albin shoots the cue ball without hitting the object ball, how that is not a ball in hand foul? Thanks!

Congratulations my favorite POOL PLAYER

They need to start televising it

2 world class guys and players !!! GO SVB LOVE YOU MAN !!!

Congratulations Shane! You finally reeled in the Big One!

Chills man, every time i watch it! Waiting so long to see SVB get this crown

why is there so many empty seats at a World Championship final?

i was wondering if it's actually possible to monetize a video any more than this

Congrats SVB, you've waited for too long!

SVB hit that next gear

Congratulations 👍

What’s all this hubbub about SVB collapsing? He seems to be doing great!

CONGRATULATIONS SVB, My fellow south Dakota kid

why sound cut between frames? stare, in silence at some random person face. uncomfortable.

What break cue is Shane using?

Sound muting is annoying

I’ve heard several pool commentators talk about the need to build the game, and things that might be done to attract more new players to the game.,, and actions to increase participation. It’s so obvious that pool has a great unrealized potential for growth. So much history, so accessible, affordable, anybody should be able to play... I just haven’t seen anything being done to grow the game in North America for new players.

That was emotional :)

I can beat all these guys, I'm the king 👑 of pool. 🎱 Last time I lost a game was back in 1978.

Did they do a random mute between matches to show use what Shane is listening to

Alternate break, gosh this would have been more interesting.

It has been 20 years since an American won this title! I'm happy for Shane: he had the strength to get back up after two lost finals, and this is already extraordinary. Now who stops him anymore?

Pool is truly a tough sport. SVB was actually nervous when taking that easy last 9....woe

Who is We?

That fluke kick really set the stage for Shane and of course his series of break and run was just sick. That was wild

this match is going to be very exciting to watch!

I would love it if they had a local comedian in the booth that knows enough to ask questions. It would make sense instead if getting a pool lesson instead of laughing and enjoying the time. They already don't show emotion or allow the crowd to be crazy fans. At least give them that

Y do they cut over half the sound out?
