Probably would make the 8 and ... go off the long rail and freeze behind the 15.
That's my first choice. (I think the 8 spots in a place where it goes in my pocket and not his.)
I would be looking to bank the fifteen into the thirteen and draw with heavy spin into the eight to kill the cue ball near the side rail.
Something like this....

Doesn't look like you can stun the 8 and get behind the 15 (looks like its too much of a cut) but hard to tell with just a picture.

santos did bank the 15 into the one
BUT
he came off the 8 back into the side rail above the side pocket and spun the cue ball 4 rails for the safety
by the speed and spin of the cue ball there is no doubt that was what he was shooting
approximation of the path and the end result how he left it for cliff

I don't see how this is possible, the 8 moved about 3 feet... Not possible....
Something is definitely wrong here, no way is he running into the back of that 8 ball and going back to the rail with the CB and spinning around the world and the 8 only moves 3 feet....:sorry Larry but that defies all logic.
Only way I can see the balls ending up like they are is he might have super thinned the 8 going in before the rail, then caught the rail with a ton of RHE to spin around the table.
I'm on my cell phone last paragraph is correct Jeff
The cue ball very thinly Caromed off the eight
He was trying to avoid contact with the 8, go behind it, he almost did it...
He got a little lucky with that thin brush on the 8 huh Larry, if he hits it a little thicker, he sells the farm. Quite impressive shot selection, but then he was privy to the amount of separation between the 15 and the 8 ball, something we could not judge accurately from the camera angle in the pic. Good WWYD...
Thanks Larry
