How did Raj Hundal get this huge trophy home?

Two days at home in London before flying to Vegas

Raj Hundal has managed to fit in a nice little earner with a victory at the InterPool Open in Sweden before he shoots off to Las Vegas for Matchroom Sports production of the 2009 World Pool Masters.

The Londoner didn't have it easy though, as the final pitched him against local pool superstar Marcus Chamat, and the Swede matched Hundal all the way to the hill, before "The Hitman" put an end to his hopes, taking the 11-10 victory.

The semi-finals were no "walk in the park" either as Hundal had to dispatch none other than Dutch standout Niels Feijen, whilst at the same time Chamat faced no lesser player than Finland's Mika Immonen.

Higgins Goes Fourth After World Triumph!

John Higgins has regained a place among the top four of the official world rankings following his victory in the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship.

The Wizard of Wishaw became only the fourth player to win a third World title at the Crucible by beating Shaun Murphy 18-9 in the final in Sheffield tonight.

Higgins, whose previous Crucible crowns came in 1998 and 2007, climbs one place to fourth in the official list for the 2009/10 season. "To win it three times here at the Crucible means everything to me," said the 33-year-old Scot. "To be up there with the great Champions who have won it three times is a proud moment. I think I've got more titles left in me. These will be my best years to win more tournaments."

Murphy missed out on his second World title and the Sale-based cueman remains at No 3. "All the great names have played and got beat in a World final, so now I know how they felt, and if it inspired them to go on and be better players, it will inspire me," said the 2005 Champion.

Archer is prepared for sharking this time...

With a long and highly decorated career going back to the late 1980’s, Georgia’s Johnny Archer can probably lay claim to being the most successful American pool player of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

World Championships, Mosconi Cups, the US Open, along with countless other tournaments in all four corners of the globe are all on the Scorpion’s roll call of honours and he dusts his cue down once again this week as he takes part in the PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters at the Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas from 8-10 May.

It is a venue that holds many good memories for Archer; “Oh yeah, I won the World 9 Ball Championship (PBT version) at the Riv in 1993 and beat Efren Reyes in the finals. That's a good one, and I also won the BCA 9-Ball and beat Mika Immonen 7 to 0 in the semi finals.”

BBC coverage of World Snooker Championships starts at 2pm today!

As the final of the World Snooker Championship unfolds today at Sheffield's famous Crucible Theatre, the two protagonists won't be the only people trying to give a good performance in front of the cameras.

Pro9 takes a moment to give credit to the high quality of programming provided by the team of pundits and commentators, culled from the ranks of snooker's celebrity players - the BBC really do push the boat out when it comes to their coverage of the snooker championships.

Sunderland uses bigger bait..

After their thoroughly successful first 9 ball event, the Sunderland Premier Pool League are now running something a little bit bigger... A lot bigger in fact.

The Sunderland Festival of Pool will cover all the main cue sports, with the main 9 ball pool event on Saturday 27 June, and they are hoping the increased prize money will help to "bring out the big fish" according to organiser Brian Watson.

They are accepting sign-ups already, it's £20 entry and cheques should be made payable to B&L WATSON and sent to: 12 Oaklands Crescent, Southwick, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, SR5 5AP.

Shane Van Boening is rested and ready...

With the 2009 PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters just around the corner, American hopes for the $66,000 tournament will be focused on veteran Johnny Archer and a young man who has taken American pool by storm over the past two years.

25 year-old Shane Van Boening, the clean-cut ‘South Dakota Kid’, heads to the Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas next week, as one of the betting favourites for this prestigious title. In fact, Van Boening will be aiming to be the first American to lift the Masters crown since Earl Strickland was victorious at Lakeside, England in the summer of 1997.

Since he burst onto the scene in 2007 with wins at the Predator World Tenball and the super-tough US Open, the soft spoken Van Boening has been the man to beat.

He followed that up in 2008 with victory at the Super Billiards Expo and then in September with a win for the United States, in partnership with Rodney Morris, at the PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool.

As the Masters approaches, Van Boening is confident that he is fully prepared; “I am playing well at the moment,” he said.

“I spent a lot of time at home in South Dakota over the past month and haven't played any big tournaments since the Super Billiards Expo in Valley Forge.

Snooker Showpiece Stays At The Crucible

Sheffield's famous Crucible Theatre, synonymous internationally with the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship, will continue to stage the event for at least another five years, until 2014.

World Snooker and Sheffield City Council have secured the deal that ensures the 'blue riband' event of the snooker season will be hosted by the city until 2014, with an option to extend the contract to 2015.

Sir Rodney Walker, Chairman of World Snooker, said: "Sheffield has, over the years, consistently demonstrated a genuine desire to retain and develop further its status as the UK's Snooker City. We acknowledge openly the enthusiasm and ongoing support Sheffield provides for the development and promotion of the sport, and are delighted to have reached this new agreement."

Ouschan places in all three events in Austria

Jasmin Ouschan notched up yet another Gold Medal in the final and most prestigious event of the European Pool Championships, and earned herself Pro9's unofficial "Most Valuable Player" accoldae, as she pocketed the European 9 Ball title in Austria, competing under the added pressure of playing in front of a home crowd.

There was a clearly dominant player in the wheelchair events this year too. Earning Pro9's recognition as "Most Valuable Player" is Finland's Jouni Tahti who took the Gold Medal for both 8 Ball and 9 Ball, despite fierce competition from a raft of the top European players including England and Ireland.

Nick van den Berg won the event with the largest field in Austria and was presented with the Men's 9 Ball Gold Medal after a hard fought battle with Ruslan Chinakov from Russia. Pro9's MVP award is a tougher affair to determine as it is split between Andreas Roschkowsky from Germany, and Switzerland's Dimitri Jungo as both earned one Gold and one Bronze medal each.

Looking at the top countries, Austria, Germany, and Great Britain go home with 5 medals a-piece, whilst on 2 medals are the Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden and Ireland. Players from Greece, Russia, and the Czech Republic will be returning home with one medal each.

Ouschan wins well deserved Gold in Austria

Home favourite Jasmin Ouschan looked ecstatic today as she collected the much sought after Gold Medal in Austria today for a sterling effort in the Women's European 8 Ball Championships.

Ouschan was odds on to win at least one medal at this event, and it's not inconceivable that the will win one from each of the three events, and after collecting Silver in the Straight Pool it was gratifying to see her collect the Gold today.

The Brits had a much better time in the Men's 8 Ball and Wheelchair Championships - Darren Appleton once again did well, but this time it was Imran Majid that made the biggest impression, collecting yet another European Championships Bronze Medal.

It was the local crop of Wheelchair players who really took the biscuit though, as Ireland's Fred Dinmore took a Bronze after his semifinal loss to Britain's Tony Southern, and Karl Read collected the other Bronze after his match with Finland's Jouni Tahti, who proved too strong for Southern in the final, forcing him to accept the Silver.
