Greatest Return: 14 Champions Set to Battle for Glory
DON'T MISS OUT - GET TICKETS NOW!
The most historic title in nineball pool returns â and 14 former US Open champions are heading back to the table to chase it down once again.
The 2025 US Open Pool Championship, set for August 18â23 at Harrahâs Resort, Atlantic City, will feature one of the most decorated and star-studded fields in the tournamentâs 48-year history. With a record $500,000 prize fund and $100,000 to the winner, the stage is set for a showdown between past legends and modern greats.
At the heart of it all is defending champion Fedor Gorst, who will aim to go back-to-back after his dominant run in 2024. Hot on his heels will be two of the most successful players in US Open history â Shane Van Boening and Earl Strickland, both five-time champions and tied for the most career US Open titles. Their legacies are already cemented, but another title would set a new all-time record.
Joining them are some of the biggest names of the last three decades.

Carlo Biado: One More Shot at History

CARLO BIADO: ONE MORE SHOT AT HISTORY
Itâs been nearly a decade since Carlo Biado ascended to the pinnacle of world pool. In 2017, the Filipino star captured the World Pool Championship, etching his name into the sportâs history books and delivering a moment of pride for an entire nation.
A year later, he came agonisingly close to defending the title, reaching the final once again. Since then, while the trophy has remained just out of reach, Biadoâs fire has never faded.
âTo me, the World Pool Championship is everything,â Biado says. âIt was always my dreamânot just to play in it, but to win it. That victory changed my life, and even now, I still think about it. I remember the moment so clearly. It felt like something out of a dream.â
But the journey to that dream wasnât easy. Biado had tasted heartbreak before. In 2015, he lost to Ko Pin Yi in the Last 32 âa loss that taught him lessons he would carry two years later.
âWhen I lost to Ko Pin Yi in 2015, I really felt the pressure. I struggled to play my game,â he admits. âBut that match taught me a lotâhow to handle nerves, how to be ready for the biggest moments. By 2017, I was still nervous in the final, but I was able to enjoy it. That made all the difference.â
But when the opportunity finally came, Biado seized it with every ounce of composure he hadâand with it, a lifetime of memories.

Fortunski is king of the Alps!
14th June 2025
POLANDâS MIESKO FORTUNSKI claimed his third Euro Tour crown as he defeated countryman Wojciech Szewczyk 11-7 to claim the PREDATOR Austrian Open. He can now add this to the 2016 Italian Open and Tampere Open from 2023 but for Szewczyk, the hunt for his first Euro Tour title must continue.
Taking place in the picturesque Alpine town of St Johann im Pongau, the final itself stayed close until the mid-point when Fortunski began to edge away as he led 8-4, needing three more for glory. To his great credit, Szewczyk staged something of a comeback as he took the score to 7-9, to give his opponent something to think about.
However, sensing this was his time, Fortunski closed out the match to add the beautiful trophy to his Euro Tour collection. The Pole enjoyed the more comfortable ride to the final as he overpowered surprise package Ugur Turku and then No.1 ranked player Stefan Kasper in the quarters and semi-finals respectively.
Afterwards he was thrilled with his success; âIâm feeling amazing. It was a really nice atmosphere to play here for the people who watched and Iâm very happy. I think that was a better match for me than the semi-final and I felt better on the table. I was more confident so Iâm happy with that.
âItâs never easy to play against a friend from the national team so of course Iâm happy because I won but there are no words for him right now except full respect. I have an eight-hour car journey home now but with this trophy!â he added.

Preview - 2025 Predator Austrian Open
THE PREDATOR EURO TOUR series returns to its most picturesque hunting ground as the PREDATOR Austrian Open in both Open and Womenâs divisions gets underway this Thursday, 12th June in St Johann im Pongau.
The defending Open champion is Syrian star Mohammad Soufi who claimed his second Euro Tour crown, defeating Tobias Bongers in the final match. Veronika Halliday took down the Womenâs division last year, beating Pia Filler in an all-German final. Both champions will be here this week to try and repeat their feats of 2024.
Albin: âIt Would Be Awesome To Win Here Againâ
It is the Euro Tourâs 15th visit to the Austrian town nestled in the mountains and offering sweeping Alpine panoramas. The home contingent numbers 24 players including strong contenders Mario He and Max Lechner and also looking to make a return to the Euro Tour winnerâs circle is two-time WPA World 9-ball Champion, Albin Ouschan.
Ouschan first won on the Euro Tour way back in 2012 in Sarajevo and then again in Leende in 2015. Despite less appearances in more recent times, heâs back this season looking to improve on a 17th place finish in Treviso and a 5th in Tallinn.
He said, âIt doesnât feel so different playing in my home country but it does feel different playing in my home town (Klagenfurt). Iâve won here in St Johann already. I won the European Championships here but that was a long time ago and itâs always something different but on the other hand it makes me proud to play at home. Itâs a beautiful country and I love that people come and see our country. Itâs a great feeling to have a tournament here.
âIâm actually feeling quite confident, feeling quite good. I took some time off to prepare and I did some changes in my technique which obviously needed a lot of work and Iâm really looking forward to this event. Itâs a long time since Iâve played 9-ball breaking from the side. Itâs a great venue in a great little city and itâs going to be an awesome tournament.
