No doubt Rafael shot the 7 into his pocket and went into those two balls. I think trying to go under those two balls is way too risky for a pocket scratch, myself. I could see going one rail into the upper part of the 14 (?) but I would want to take no chances middle or lower part of those balls because of the scratch. If he does shoot, I think his best bet is to use a touch of inside (if necessary) and come one rail just to get a glance off the 9-ball (?) and hope to open up another shot out of the stack.
Me being chicken on a tight table, would most likely move those two balls -- the 14 and 2 like this -- banking the 14 into the edge of the 2-ball to send them both away.
