Super Mall to Host Fifth Annual Team Pool Extravaganza
MATCHROOM SPORT is delighted to announce that the venue for the forthcoming PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool will be the Midtown Wing of Robinsons Place in Ermita, Manila.
Originally built in the 1980s, Robinsons houses more than 330 local shops, dining outlets and entertainment facilities and the Midtown Wing, built in mid-2008, makes it the largest Robinson's Mall in the Philippines.
Matchroom Sport will be installing an arena with several hundred seats and there will be balcony space for hundreds more. All the action will be covered by Solar Sports for live coverage across the Philippines.
With the first round draw already made, 2009 champions Philippines A, consisting of Efren Reyes and Francisco Bustamante, will open their defence with a match against the unheralded team from Thailand (Nitiwat Kanjanasri & Surathep Phoochalam).
2008 Champions, Team USA, this year represented by Rodney Morris and Johnny Archer, face a tough opener in the shape of the Swedish duo of Marcus Chamat and Thomas Mehtala, while the highly fancied English pair of Karl Boyes and Daryl Peach will be optimistic as they face off against Qatar.

Last year’s finalists Germany will also be fancying their chances as they meet Hong Kong, a team they beat 8-0 in the first round last year. The German team consists of Ralf Souquet and Oliver Ortmann.
The well-thought of Philippines B team of Dennis Orcollo and Roberto Gomez face the Croatian pair of the up-and-coming Carlo Dalmatin and experienced Philipp Stojanovic.
Featuring 32 two-player teams representing 31 countries, the PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool takes place from 7th to 12th September and features a $250,000 prize fund with $60,000 going to the winning pair.
First round matches are a race to eight and commence on Tuesday 7th September at midday, concluding on Thursday around 18.00, when the second round gets underway.
