THE 2014 MEN’S INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE OF CHAMPIONS

Thorsten Hohmann, aggressive as ever, faced sudden death as he and Darren Appleton were tied at one set in the 2014 Challenge of Champions at Harrah's Resort Southern California, Tuesday, Qct, 7th.
Appleton won the lag, broke and ran until he gets funny on the 7. Darren decides to play safe to leave Thorsten a long, off angle shot into the corner pocket. Thorsten, amazingly under the pressure, trickled it into the pocket with barely a wobble. The cue ball stopped to leave a cut so thin on the 8 that it was hard to control the speed for shape on the 9. He needed the bridge. Bingo! And, $25,000 is in the bank!
Semi finals: Darren Appleton def. Shane Van Boening 5-3, 3-5, and Sudden Death #1 Semi Final #2: Thorsten Hohmann def. Dennis Orcollo 5-2, 5-3.

The matches will be taped for ESPN/ESPN2 with a live audience for television broadcast that represents the highest viewed billiard programming on US network television. The events are widely considered the toughest tournament to win in professional billiards.
Once, each year, international champions are battling in sudden-death shootouts with pressure-cooker formats and the highest prize money in pool's special events. And, the winners claim one of the most coveted titles in pool – Champion of Champions! On October 7, at 3pm, Harrah’s Resort Southern California will host the WPA sanctioned INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE OF CHAMPIONS presenting the top male players in the world: Darren Appleton defending Champion, 2010 and 2011, US Open 9-Ball Champion, 2013 Mosconi Cup Champion, 2012 World 9-Ball Champion, and 2014 World Tournament of 14.1 champion; Shane Van Boening 2014 Derby City Big Foot 10-Ball Challenge Champion, 2104 Derby City 9-Ball Champion, Super Billiards Expo Player's Champion, 2012 and 2013 US Open 9-Ball Champion; Thorsten Hohmann 2013 World 9-Ball Champion and World Tournament of 14.1 champion; Dennis Orcollo: 2014 Derby City Classic Master of the Table, 2014 US Open 1-Pocket Champion, 2013 World Cup of Pool Champion, 2011 World 8-Ball Champion.

The three events are each regarded as the supreme test of skill and imagination in billiards. The players are so evenly matched that any one player could beat the others on any given day.
The INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE OF CHAMPIONS and the TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS are 9-Ball with a format of two sets and, in the event of one set each, a 1-game sudden death tie-breaker.
TRICK SHOT MAGIC presents the greatest individual trick shots selected by each player which then must be matched by their opponent. The sudden death tie-breaker to decide a match requires an incredible eight rail bank shot onto the face of a $100 bill. All in all, the 3 events offer the wildest shootout of the year.
