I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on that but with any luck it will be a very close match as was Reyes/Strickland in the first to 120.

Very tough to call this one, but guaranteed I'll be watching it, awesome match-up  Although on pure ability I'd go with Mika, I'd nonetheless give Shane the tiniest of edges for this purely because he seems to play money games for breakfast whereas Mika's money game history is miniscule in comparison. Also I see Pagulayan & Schmidt are lined up for a 1-pocket, 14.1 and 10-ball match-up in October, which I truly can't wait for. Alex is my favourite player and I'm glad he's getting back into some pool and hopefully getting weaned off his recent rather unsavoury gambling hobby.

i think some people are forgetting SVB's record against Mika in tournament play...i think Mika has won the last 8 times they have played or something like that with SVB only winning a couple times, fair enough its a different game a money match and SVB has more experience in these but i like Mika in this, he's a legend!

tournament doesnt mean anything in a race to 100 plus it different pressure playing for money
i think mika got better all around game and his high gear better..
but shanes 10ball break and experience playing money matches makes it a tough call for me
we will see should be good match

Alex Pagulayan is playing John Schmidt? Two of my favourite players going at it. That will be a must see. Id have to give Alex the edge in 10 ball, John the edge in straight pool and a toss up in one pocket.
As for Mika and Shane, tough match to call. Shanes game is definately 10 ball and has the best 10 ball break in the game to go with it. He also has the experience factor on his side in terms of playing long races (e.g. with Alex, Corey, Lee-Van etc). Mika is all round quite a solid player but in my opinion gets frustrated quite easily if things dont go his way. I'd have to give the edge to Shane. Good luck to both gentlemen anyway!

well i think alex will definatley win against john..
he massive fav in 10ball and he definatly fav in one pocket and straight pool anything can happen
mika and shane if shane breaks good he be tough to beat but if he doesnt then it could be very one sided as mika safety better and his high gear better than shanes..imo
