Spaniard wins Italian Open!!!

The EPBF Euro Tour visited Italy this month, with a stop at the Holiday Inn Resort at Castel Volturno. Over 180 players from over 35 countries made the trip to Naples to test themselves on the most successful 9 ball tour in the World.

Spaniard David Alcaide was in rare form as he tore through the single elimination last 32 stages, and not one of his opponents was able to take more than five racks off him. This is the first win on the Euro Tour for the Malaga based player who's previous best results were bronze medals in Switzerland, Germany and Spain.

The top finishing British player was Craig "Ozzie" Osborne who reached the semi-finals losing to the eventual winner. Mark Gray, Daryl Peach and UK resident Tony Drago lost in the Last 16, and Darren Appleton and Chris Melling were eliminated in the Last 32. Imran Majid forfeited the tournament to be with his family after being informed that his father had died - our condolences go to him and his family.

Matches were streamed live on the Euro Tour website and at Bwin, where the virtual "railbirds" could chat and even have a bet on the results whilst watching the action.

Alcaide's army of friends show real team spirit celebrating with the trophy.
