The Men's World Curling Championship continuing in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Team China, still alive in their attempts to reach the play-off round at 3-5 heading in...but had to beat the USA.

This game would come down to the final end China headed into the 10th, trailing the American side 4-3.

Third stones and Li Guanxu, looking to hit and stick to lie two, he would just roll out to leave China sitting one.

The turning point in this one, would come as third Shawn Rojeski looking to freeze to the Chinese yellow on the edge of the 8 foot, is just off.

And a great hit and roll behind cover by Chinese skip Ji Yangsong would leave China lying two and the American rink in tough shape.

After the states were able to remove that Chinese stone, another perfect delivery from Ji this time, an excellent draw behind cover to lie two.

And that left USA skip Pete Fenson looking for the difficult angle raise takeout. Throwing plenty of weight but it would just not curl enough.

China's Ji, clutch in the final end as China scores two to take a huge 5-4 win to move to 4-5 in the round robin and keep their hope of moving to the playoff round alive.
