Wednesday-Sunday 12-16 May 2010
Germany's Oliver Ortmann and Thorsten Hohmann start their Last 16 match. This photograph used with permission courtesy of Matchroom Sport / JP Parmentier Orcollo First Man Through to Semis
ACTION CONTINUED at the PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters at the Riviera Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas as the final two quarter-finalists were determined and Dennis Orcollo became the first player to reach the semi-finals. The standard of play was high throughout and in the opening match of the evening, Thomas Engert defeated Rodney Morris 8-5 to leave Charlie Williams the sole remaining US hope in the event. Engert, a two-time winner of this event in 2004 and 2007, clearly has the Masters mojo as he looked very comfortable throughout.
"That was the first time I've played well in this tournament. I broke well and the balls were on my side,” said Engert.
"Read More..." for the details.
"Sometimes it wasn't easy to run out - it's never easy to run out against Rodney - but I took my chances. It was a good match for both of us.
"Last year I played maybe seven or eight tournaments and that's not enough. But now I'm playing on the Euro Tour and here and getting some momentum.
"Every time I play I feel better at the table and felt much better than at the first match. I'm not thinking about winning it yet. Everyone wants to win and in pool you have to wait for your chances."
There was another guaranteed German in the quarter-finals as former World Champions Oliver Ortmann and Thorsten Hohmann squared off and it was 1996 WPC champ Ortmann who proved superior.
It was an excellent show from Ortmann who came from 4-1 down to complete an outstanding 8-6 victory.
"I didn't do anything wrong but I was down 2-1 and then 4-1, but I just tried to concentrate on my own game and I was playing ok so that was the point of the match. I took my chances and was happy to do so,” said Ortmann.
"At the end of the day the victory was right as I was playing good and he was a bit lucky.
"I'm focused and feeling pretty confident. I'm just trying to do what I can and I feel really confident at the moment.
"I've played well against Darren Appleton, well against Bustamante and well here and I definitely have a chance to win the tournament.
"Thomas Engert played great against Rodney Morris so it's going to be a tough match but I think I will have my chances."
In the final match of the evening, Dennis Orcollo continued his rich vein of form as he overcame Canada’s John Morra 8-3 to book his semi-final spot.
Morra didn’t have that many opportunities but Orcollo will be hard to stop as he chases his first Masters crown.
"I played really well and I did everything. I won the first four games and I felt comfortable every time as I always had a shot. I had a lot of chances to clinch the game so I did.
"It was the same type of performance as in the other matches - I didn't change my game so the momentum was always there. I was always thinking positively and my mind was focused.
"The competition is really great and the World Pool Masters is a wonderful event with so many top players so it's been very hard to go into the semi-finals."
Play continues on Sunday afternoon.

2010 PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters - Action Hots Up
The Philippine's Roberto Gomez in action in Las Vegas. This photograph used with permission courtesy of Matchroom Sport / JP Parmentier Wins for Gomez, Williams and Kuribayashi
THERE WERE THREE further Round 3 matches at the Riviera Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas as the PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters reached its penultimate day. With all-round play rising to a high standard, there were wins for Charlie Williams, Roberto Gomez and Toru Kuribayashi.
In the opening game, Scottish qualifier Jayson Shaw made a few too many mistakes for a player of Roberto Gomez’s standard and the Filipino joins compatriot Dennis Orcollo in the quarter-finals.
Shaw lost the initiative in the third game as he made an elementary error going from 6 to the 8, as he left the cue ball behind the 9 ball. That handed the rack to Gomez for 2-1 and another shocker, scratching when the run out was elementary. It was a choker for the young Scot as Gomez increased his lead to 3-1.
A run out in the next increased his lead, but Gomez tried a Bustamante-style ‘behind the back’ shot instead of using the bridge and completely miscued. He made contact with the 6 ball but failed to reach a rail.
With ball in hand, Shaw took full advantage and he ran the next following a decent break to get to within one rack of Gomez at 4-3. A missed pink 4 down the rail, though down the rail, let the Filipino back in and he increased his lead to 5-3. From there it was all Gomez as he took the last three racks to seal the win and move into the quarter-finals where he faces a tough one in Ralf Souquet.
"I played good - maybe I would give myself seven or eight out of ten. My shot (behind the back that caused a ) it happened at exactly the same time as the shot clock warning bell ringing and I just hit it badly,” said Gomez.
"But I just forget about everything I had done wrong as it would destroy your game if you are thinking about your mistakes.
"He had a lot of chance but missed them and that gave me courage to grab the chances. Playing Ralf Souquet will be a great match and I have to prepare well. I've played him once in Taiwan and I won.
"But everyone is confident of winning this tournament and everyone here is a master."
In the second match of the afternoon, Charlie Williams looked the business as disposed of entertaining Japanese player Naoyuki Oi, coming from 4-1 down to win 8-5.
Having been used to race to 9 matches in the first two rounds, Williams assumed that this match was race to 9 also and returned to his chair after potting what was the case 9 ball.
Referee Nigel Rees had to tell the American that he had indeed won the match, much to his pleasure.
"That was a big win for me and I'm pleased to get in the last eight. Now I'm in the championship ring and it looks a bit easier,” said Williams.
"Oi is a very aggressive player so I knew he would come at me. I thought I had got here early enough to practise but I didn't so I hadn't hit one ball in practise today.
"The first shot I hit was actually in the game and it showed as I made some early mistakes but it's my fault as I should've been here at 2pm.
"At 4-1 Oi was playing good but I didn't give up and just tried to work it back one frame at a time.
"Being 4-1 down it wasn't looking good at all but I figured out the break quicker that he did and that gave me some momentum.
"At the end I didn't know it was a race to eight. Nigel looked at me and someone jumped up and I thought I'd committed a foul!"
In the final match of the afternoon, Japanese qualifier Toru Kuribayashi looked a million dollars as he mastered the break superbly to record an 8-0 whitewash over England’s Daryl Peach.
Making two and three balls at a time and leaving easy run outs, Kuribayashi left Peach seated for most of the match and the young Japanese looks a massive dark horse for the title. He now plays Charlie Williams in the next round.
“I played really well and I am really happy with my performance. If I keep playing like that then I know I can win the tournament,” said the Japanese.
Play continues this evening.
