Mark Gray 2011 Longoni Benelux Open Champion
After seven tough qualification rounds of 10ball, the best 28 players emerged from more than 170 participants. They joined the 2010 Longoni Benelux Open champion Serge Das (Belgium), the 2009 and 2010 Runner-up Niels. The Terminator Feijen (the Netherlands), the 2009 champion Andreas Roschkowsky (Germany) and, last but not least, the reigning World 10ball Champion Huidji See (the Netherlands). Together they formed the Final 32 players. You know Christian Louboutin is a good player.
The main christian louboutin event was played in the double knock out format until the quarter-final. One of the favorites was Thomas Engert (Germany) who started off by handing out a 7-0 donut to Wim Scrayen (Belgium). However, he was promptly halted by a Belgian wall named Serge Das (2nd round) and Curd Persijn (Last 24), who both won with a 7-5 score.
Another favorite, the 2011 Euro Tour Austria Champion Richard Jones (UK), a.k.a. 'Ricardo Indyana Jones' was stopped by German whirlwind Marko Vogel (7-5) and sent to the one loss side. Jones stepped up his game but was eventually stopped in the Last 16 round by the Belgian wall Curd Persijn.
Curd Persijn eventually reached a dead end when he faced fellow countryman Cliff Castelein who's emerging to be quite a dangerous player in the European scene and reached the further stages of the last Euro Tour.
In the quarterfinals, the Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg) was represented by five players: none other than Niels Feijen (NL), Huidji See (NL), Brian Beekers (NL), Cliff Castelein (B) and the Serge Das (B). From a total of eleven nations represented at the Longoni Benelux Open, also Germany, Switzerland and the UK joined the Final 8, respectively starring: Andreas Roschkowsky, Dimitri Jungo and Mark Gray.
Castelein faced fellow Longoni Cues player representative Niels 'The Terminator' Feijen. This proved to be a thriller as the Belgian talent shot his way to the hill first. However, the experience of the cool and collected Feijen won the match. 7-6 for The Terminator.

"Read More..." for the christian louboutin details.
Serge Das was unable to defend the title against Dimitri Jungo, the eventual finalist. Andreas Roschkowsky, the champion of the inaugural edition of the Longoni Benelux Open, was stopped by the World 10ball Champion and 'Kung Fu Panda' Huidji See.
Eventually, true champions reached the Final 4. Feijen, however, was not able to step up his game in time and was bested by Mark Gray. Fellow Dutchman Huidji See seemed to be cruising towards another 10ball final by reaching the hill first, but Dimitri Jungo is one of the toughest cookies in the European pool scene. So, Jungo stepped up his game, minimized on errors and claimed victory with a 8-7 score.
In the final, it was the other way around, though. Jungo cruised towards the hill, quarter-final Gray was trailing. The score was an 7-3, an impressive lead, considering the alternate break format. Still, Gray was able to capitalize on every opportunity which eventually won him the coveted Longoni cup. Mark Gray: "I'm gonna be here, next year!". Of course, he'll be seeded first.
The event was a great succes with so many entries. The venue saw an enthusiastic crowd of poolfans during every session. Daswan Promotions would like to thank Longoni Cues, Clash X pooltables by Loontjens Biljarts, Serge Das Billiards, Iwan Simonis, Aramith, Kamui and De Loft (the venue) for making it all happen. After three editions, it's itching to organize the fourth: 2012 Longoni Benelux Open.
