16 MORE ADVANCE TO THE CHINA OPEN KNOCKOUT STAGE AS THE SKIES OPEN UP OVER SHANGHAI
The thick, hazy skies finally opened up over Shanghai this afternoon, bringing with it torrential downpours and booming sounds of thunder and lightning. Inside the Shanghai Pudong Yuanshen Stadium the unmistakable sounds of the summer monsoons would surely be interpreted differently on Judgment Day here at the third annual China Open 9-Ball tournament. For some, it was manna from heaven. For others, the inclement weather spelled certain doom and gloom.
16 more players from the men’s side were counting their rainy day blessings at the conclusion of the first two sessions on day 2 of the $275,000 event. They now join the eight players from day 1 with spots in the final 32 single elimination knockout stage which begins tomorrow.
One of the happiest players in the arena this afternoon was Britain’s Scott Higgins. Playing on the losers side of his group, Higgins drew the legend, Efren Reyes of the Philippines in a do or die match for both players. It was Higgins first time to play the Hall of Famer, and the barrel chested Brit used the pressure to his advantage, buckling down for a solid 9-3 win.
“I broke and ran four times and capitalized on some of his mistakes,” a clearly excited Higgins said afterwards. “You want to beat him because he’s a legend. But the most important thing is that I qualified for the last 32. I don’t think I’d ever want to play him for money, though.”

Raj Hundal takes runner up spot and Ten Ball Challenge title
It was close, but Raj Hundal's hat-trick ambition has been denied and his two year reign of the Interpool 9 Ball Open has come to an end at the hands of fellow Dragon Promotions player Rodney Morris. The best pals had a close fought battle in the final, matching each other neck and neck all the way to the 5-5 scoreline in the race-to-11 final, but then the Hawaiian superstar found an extra gear and took the main event title with an 11-5 victory.
British-Indian Hundal wasn't too disappointed with the result, as earlier in the weekend he had nailed the 24 man Interpool Ten Ball Challenge, topping the field comprised, among others, of such pool luminaries as Mika Immonen, Tony Drago and Marcus Chamat.

$275,000 China Open set to kick off this week in Shanghai
Shanghai, one of the great cities of the world, and China’s bustling commercial hub, will play host to the world’s best men and women pool players as the China Open kicks off June 6-12.
In just its few short years of existence, the China Open has become one of the most prestigious championships in all of professional pool. This June, 68 men and 48 women will be coming from all corners of the globe to test their skills in an exciting 9-ball format and vie for one of the sport’s biggest prize funds; $162,800 for the men, and $112,800 for the women.
Fans can expect to see plenty of the sports current and rising stars. On the men’s side, the Philippines is sending a large contingent led by Hall of Famer and current World 9-ball Champion, Francisco “Django” Bustamante, and current World 8-ball champion Dennis Orcullo. Chinese-Taipei will be offering their usual powerhouse lineup, including recent Beijing Open winner Chang Jun Lin, and young star Ko Pin Yi. Host country China will be led by the likes of World 10-Ball runner up Fu Jan Bo, Lui Haitao, and Li He Wen. China can now boast one of the world’s best players with the addition of former double World Champion, Wu Jian Qing(formerly Wu Chia Ching) who has recently obtained his Chinese citizenship. Wu, though, will have to go through the tough qualifiers to make it into the tournament proper.
Representing Europe will be Finland’s Mika Immonen, the legendary Ralf Souquet of Germany, and his compatriot, Thorsten Hohmman, who won the Philippine Open in April. Expect lots of other stars from the continent to make the trip to Shanghai.

Predator to Open Asian Office
Clawson Custom Cues, d/b/a Predator Group, announced that it will open a satellite office in Hong Kong by the end of this year. All corporate functions, including research and development, as well as the company’s headquarters, will remain in Jacksonville, FL.
Predator Group is making this move for several reasons. According to Karim Belhaj, Chief Executive Officer, “we have successfully marketed our products all over the world but, more recently, we have experienced enormous growth in China and other Asian markets. Not only are these markets expanding but interest in billiards is on the rise as well. We want to capitalize on the many opportunities offered by this vibrant region and believe establishing a presence in the region represents a good first step.”
Since 2009, the company has been working to diversify its manufacturing base with the threefold goals of accelerating product development, ensuring a steady and more timely flow of product to its customers and increasing the value offered to players who choose Predator and Poison products. A greater presence in Asia will allow Predator Group to work more closely with both customers and suppliers in the region, and thus enhance critical business relationships. Outside of the U.S., the company currently sources materials, products and accessories from Canada, China, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia and Taiwan.
