2012 ClubWPT.com World Pool Masters Hala Legionow Boczna 15 Kielce Poland www.matchroompool.com - World Pool Masters - Live Report - Facebook - Twitter
Friday - Sunday 5-7 October 2012

IN A FAIRYTALE ending local player Karol Skowerski was crowned 2012 ClubWPT.com World Pool Masters Champion as he put away a host of big name stars over the course of the tournament before ousting fellow Pole Mateusz Sniegocki 8-6 in a tense final at the Hala Legionow in Kielce, Poland.
Skowerski had earlier beaten Shane Van Boening, Tony Drago and Nick Van den Berg en route to the final, where he faced Sniegocki who had entered the Masters field via a qualifying event. Hailing from Poznan, Sniegocki was no slouch himself, having beaten Ralf Souquet, Alex Pagulayan and Dennis Orcollo in earlier rounds.
“I still can’t believe it and maybe tomorrow morning when my wife pinches me it may sink in,” said a shell-shocked Skowerski.
“I felt calm throughout though and for me you need to forget about the tournament, money and title and just concentrate on the pool. And it worked for me tonight.”
The Kielce native added, “The crowd helped me because when you play in this arena and you know that all the people around are behind you then it’s very helpful and motivating.”
After reaching the finals of the PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool in Manila last month with compatriot Wojciech Szewczyk, Skowerski certainly let everyone in the pool world know who he was and with this win he has the perfect launch pad to move into the upper strata of the game.

 He got off to a dream start as he kept Sniegocki off the table opening up a 6-0 lead in the race to 8 rack final. All parts of his game were sharp and he had the break down sufficiently to give himself opportunities.
Sniegocki was not out of it though and came back with some break and runs to get the score to 6-5 and let Skowerski know he was in a match. The 12th game was critical though and Sniegocki came up dry and from there the Kielce man ran out to reach the hill.
Sniegocki took the next in a bit of a chess match, but when he left the 2 ball on into the side pocket in the next, Skowerski took it on and then eyed up a 3/9 combination which he executed perfectly to take the title and the $20,000 top prize.
“It was a strong field but you must play well in just four matches to win it and with winner breaks anything can happen,” said a reflective champion.
“The money is not important and if I’d have thought about it in any way then I wouldn’t have achieved this success. I’m going home now to see my wife Alina and three month old son Jan and if we can find a baby-sitter then we will be out celebrating!”

THE FINAL THREE quarter-final matches took place in the 20th running of the ClubWPT.com World Pool Masters and there were wins for 2010 Champion Dennis Orcollo, 2009 runner-up Nick Van Den Berg and Polish rising star Karol Skowerski.

The event carries a $66,000 prize fund with $20,000 going to the winner.
Orcollo looked in top shape as he beat Finland’s Mika Immonen 8-3 to set up a clash with Mateusz Sniegocki (Poland). Immonen was never really in it and it will take a good player to eliminate Orcollo.
World Cup of Pool hero Wojciech Szewcyk, who looked sensational beating Ko Pin-yi yesterday, could not replicate that form against Nick Van den Berg who was a comfortable 8-2 winner.
The young Pole went into an early 2-0 lead which gave the crowd high hopes but they were soon dashed as the reliable Van den Berg put his head down and ran out the racks.
 The final match was a dream finale for the Kielce crowd as their local hero Karol Skowerski looked all business as he opened up a 6-0 lead against Maltese speedster Tony Drago. The ’05 Masters champion got back to the table and put the frighteners on the Polish crowd as he won three racks in minutes.
That was his last hurrah as a couple of errors in the final racks, gave Skowerski the chances he needed to close out a glorious win.
Play continues this evening at 16.00 local with the two semi-finals followed by the final.
