Ina Kaplan wins Womens Euro Tour
In a very single-sided final match, Ina Kaplan (GER) defeated Eyllul Kibaroglu (TUR) with 6:0.
The Womens Euro-Tour was full of surprises this time. Up until the single elimination, everything went more or less according to plan. The highest ranked players like Mazhirina, Kaplan, Roos, Christiansen, Ouschan all were present in the single elimination stage of the event. Down to number nine of the Euro-Tour rankings, every single player has made it in the round.
Then suddenly things started to happen. Unheralded Jennifer Vietz (GER) ousted Nr. 1 seed Ana Mazhirina (RUS) with 6:4. That was the first big shock of the day. Kristina Zlateva (BUL) eliminated Nr. 5 Ine Helvik (NOR) with a string performance with 6:3. The biggest upset happened in the match between Jasmin Ouschan (AUT) and Caroline Roos (SWE). The Austrian, who just got back from the USA, did not at all play up to her usual performance. She committed many mistakes and was punished for them by Roos. Caroline Roos performed rock solid and rightfully won that match with 6:3. Only number 2 ranked player, Ina Kaplan stayed right on track, defeating Ana Gradisnik (SLO) with 6:1.

Buckley makes history retaining Universities 9 Ball title
Benji Buckley finished top of the heap of the 90+ players taking part in the Universities Pool Council 9 Ball Championships - four days of events featuring a series of disciplines from the standard 9 Ball Singles and 9 Ball Teams, to the more exotic "Crash" knockout and other flyers.
Buckley met German import Bernd Gentner in the final. Bernd had just been through the wringer winning his semi-final match after a thrilling hill-hill affair, and whilst he still looked fresh, it was Buckley who ruled the final match from start to finish.
Benji's achievement is even more noteworthy, as he is the first player to ever win the individual's event twice, and therefore also the only player to retain the title in consecutive years.
For winning, Buckley will receive a year's entry into the GB 9 Ball Tour, and in a reversal of fate, things could become very interesting next year, as Phil Burford starts university, and has expressed a keen interest to play in this event.
The action continues on Sunday with the Team event... Bring it on!

Nick van den Berg wins Dynamic Billard Treviso Open and Euro-Tour 2013
In an intense final match, Nick van den Berg (NED) defeated Phil Burford (GBR) 8:5.
The final match was determined by safety play in the beginning. After seven racks, van den Berg was leading 4:3 when Burford had an open layout in front of him. He got to the 10-ball and ran a bit out of position. However, he managed to pocket the 10-ball but shockingly scratched with the cue ball. Instead of tying the match at 4:4, suddenly he found himself trailing 3:5. Van den Berg made use of that situation and carried the advantage through until he was on the hill, leading 7:5. It was again Burford at the table then. He ran out of position for the 8-ball. He tried hard and left a very tough shot for van den Berg. El Nio aimed at the ball and fired it in. He then pocketed the remaining two balls to wear the crown at the Dynamic Billard Treviso Open 2013. Van den Berg did not only take the title, he also won the Euro-Tour series 2013 by finishing as ranked number 1 player.
It feels great to win the tournament, stated van den Berg after the final, but it feels even greater to be number 1 at the end of the year.
All in all Im quite happy with my second place here in Treviso. Hats off to Nick, he played a very good match against me and deserved the victory, added Burford.

Its Europe in a landslide
TEAM EUROPE completed their finest ever PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup win, as they beat the Americans 11-2, the second biggest winning margin in the 20 year history of the event. Needing three more points going into the third day, they reeled off the first three matches to hand out a humiliating defeat to the USA.
It was Europes fourth win on the trot and their sixth in seven years. With a star-packed team, many felt that this was the Americans best chance in a while but after losing the first day 5-0, the writing was on the wall. America won two points on Tuesday but all in all it was a lame performance that will leave many questions.
It was Niels Feijen, partnered by Mika Immonen, who downed the winning 9 ball and the final point of this years event gave the Dutchman his second Most Valuable Player trophy in three years.
European captain, Johan Ruijsink was thrilled with his fifth victory at the helm; I am very, very proud of my team. They played like lions all week, they came out of the starting blocks really heavy on the Americans and I dont think they recovered. I am really sorry for my buddy Johnny Archer because it is his first time as a captain in the modern age and I think he deserved better than that. He is a great captain, a great motivator, and I feel sorry for him because 11-2 doesnt reflect the difference in quality.

Hill takes inaugural GB9 UK Open title
Mick Hill became the first ever winner of the GB9 UK Open on Tuesday, as he beat Phil Burford 11-7.
Hill recovered from a shaky start to clinch the title, in a final in which neither player really got going.
The event was at its best as it progressed onto the quarter-finals and a move to the main tables.
Burford comfortably dispatched of Shaun Storry 10-1 and Ruslan Chinahov advanced over Juan Carlos Exposito, winning six consecutive racks to romp to a 10-4 victory.
The best games of the round were undoubtedly on tables one and two.
Kev Simpson and Michael Valentine shared an 18-rack thriller, as Valentine just edged out Simpson to win 10-8. On the hill at 9-7, Valentine kissed off the nine ball after potting the eight and had to try to run the nine all the way up table. He missed, and Simpson stepped in to make it 9-8.
After a long exchange of safeties in the final rack, Simpson missed a straight 8 and Valentine finally clinched the match.

Europe within three after another great day
ONLY A MIRACLE now will prevent Europe winning their fourth consecutive PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup as they once again got the better of their American opponents, winning three out of the five matches on Tuesday and now need just three points for victory.
For the Americans at least they can take heart from the fact that they opened their account and are still alive in the event, but otherwise it was another disappointing day for the legion of American fans at the Mirage in Las Vegas. The USA will need to win at least three out of tomorrows five matches to take the 20th Mosconi Cup into a final day.
We won another session and that is the most important thing, said European captain Johan Ruijsink.
The Americans came out a little bit better than yesterday and I think that we didnt really step up. Niels played a perfect game, Ralf had a nice comeback and in the end we won the session and that is the most important thing for us.

Europe rampant after day one white-wash
TEAM EUROPE created the biggest first day lead in PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup history as they won all five matches at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas to establish a 5-0 lead and give the USA a huge mountain to climb.
A win in the team game got things underway, before two doubles victories and singles wins for Mika Immonen and Darren Appleton piled on the misery for the Americans. The much-vaunted change in the break rules saw an inordinate number of dry breaks and it was the Europeans who played the better pool and made the least number of mistakes to build up a mammoth lead.
Commented European captain Johan Ruijsink, It has never happened before and it is such a huge lead that you cannot be anything other than delighted. I expect the Americans will bounce back but 5-0 is great.
We prepared well, we were ready to fight, ready for battle, ready for war. I think that showed immediately in the team match where we showed dominance and we kept that going for the whole session. I am really delighted.

2013 GB9 FESTIVAL OF POOL
The players have arrived in Telford, for the first festival of American style pool the UK has ever seen. The weather is surprisingly mild for this time of year and we were all treated to a beautiful sunrise this morning - I wish I had my camera with me at the time.
Matches are underway, and the live streaming video is in full flow - so start following the results on the GB9 website, as we'll be seeing plenty of big names from Europe in action throughout the week.
More news and gossip later.
