I would kick to the left of the 9ball off the top rail into the balls near the side rail, softly.

I have seen this match. You know, there are one or 2 instances in this match (I believe), when bugs gets ball in hand and fires at a bank, and I think balls are near shannon's hole. It is really something to see, I have never seen a player do that in all my years. That one would make a good wwyd, haha.

mini hi jack alert
in the 1970s i saw bugs play earl heisler $500 game 1 pocket at the sports palace in new orleans
in one game earl had a few balls near his pocket
bugs made a 4 railer left the cue ball in the open on the table so he could run out after he made the bank,,,,,,......
had he missed earl had an open shot at his pocket.........
ballsiest shot i ever saw....
:focus
I am surprised nobody chose the 3-railer. I'm guessing Daulton wished he hadn't after he made it and then scratched.

Looks like Shannon was thinking about 3-railing the 7 at first.
I'd probably try to get behind the cluster by going thin off the left edge of the 2-ball with some right English.
If I thought I could get the 2-ball back down to where the cue ball is now, I'd probably try to bank that and use some follow and right english to get behind the balls (and probably sell out the 9). Then he wouldn't be able to safe me on the bottom rail anymore. But I don't think that lays quite right.
