AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR
ORCULLO, ALCANO, GRAY AND AKAKARIYAMA REACH THE SEMI-FINALS OF THE WORLD 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER LEGENDARY DAY IN POOL HISTORY
After what has to be one of the most memorable and exciting days in the history of championship pool, the Philippines Dennis Orcullo and Ronnie Alcano, Englands Mark Gray, and Japans Yukio Akakariyama all made it into the semi-finals of the World 9-ball Championship in Doha, Qatar.
One semi-final will be an all-Filipino affair between former World 9-ball Champion Alcano, and the worlds current number one ranked player, Orcullo. The other semi-final will feature Gray vs. Akakarayima. Both race to 11, alternate break matches will begin at 3pm local time Friday, July 1(GMT +3). The race to 13 alternate break final will begin later at 7pm.
It would be hard to imagine that the last three matches of this years World 9-ball Championship could produce any more drama than has already occurred but the way things went Thursday evening, anything must be possible. Two of the race to 11 matches went to a sudden death decider. Another one went to the 20th rack. World class players were reduced to rubble under the tortuous pressure; normally gimme-type pots became impossible makes; the second you figured you knew what was about to happen, something unheard of occurred.
The day began at the Al Sadd Sports Club in Doha at 10am with 32 players remaining. By the time the quarter finals rolled around in the evening session, there had already been enough nail biting drama to last years. What happened in the quarter finals produced enough heart stopping moments to last a lifetime.

GREAT ESCAPES INTO THE SWEET 16
BUSTAMANTE BARELY SQUEAKS BY; BIADO AND GRAY WIN HILL-HILL SKIRMISHES AS THE WORLD 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP IS DOWN TO THE FINAL 16
Defending champion Francisco Bustamante of the Philippines barely hung on in his round of 32 match against relative unknown Indonesian player Setiawan Riyan, escaping with an 11-10 victory to move into the round of 16 at the World 9-ball Championship in Doha, Qatar.
Playing on the TV table, Bustamante looked to be cruising along as he led Setiwan 9-4. In the 14th frame, however, Bustamante was distracted by a press photographer snapping pictures nearby. From there on, the Hall of Famer seemed to lose his composure, and descended into a foul mood, as Setiwan slowly chipped away at the lead. Bustamante managed to get the score line to 10-7, but then made a handful of uncharacteristic mistakes that allowed the Indonesian back in the match. The Filipino great broke in the final rack and prevailed after Setiawan scratched after trying to escape a safety.
The defending champion only had five minutes to gather himself to do battle in the round of 16 with compatriot and world number 1 ranked player Dennis Orcullo. Orcullo, who desperately wants to win this title, earlier defeated upstart Filipino Marlon Caneda, 11-6 who had defeated Efren Reyes the previous night.

DAZLIN DARYL IS IN IT TO WIN IT - FORMER CHAMP PEACH PUTS IN A MARVELOUS PERFORMANCE AS THE DAY OF RECKONING DAWNS AT THE WORLD 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP IN QATAR
Wild finishes, unpredictable outcomes up until the very last ball, plenty of star power and pressure galore were all key ingredients of two very memorable evening sessions in the 64 player knockout stage at the World 9-ball Championship in Doha today. But as the tournament heads into the business side of things on Thursdays day of reckoning, where the field will be reduced from 32 to 4, its instructive for fans and students of the game to pay attention to one awesome performance that sent a shot across the bow to the remaining players in field.
While every single one of the over 500 fans inside the Al Sadd Sports Club was focused on the TV table, and a match between their hero, Efren Reyes of the Philippines, and unknown Filipino Marlon Caneda, Englands Daryl Peach quietly put on one of the strongest performances of the tournament so far. And in the process, the 2007 World 9-ball champion announced to all that he came to Doha with every intention to reclaim the prize that was once his.
Interestingly Peach faced the very man whom he defeated in Manila in 07 to win pools most prestigious title, the Philippines Roberto Gomez. On any other day, this intriguing matchup would have screamed marquee, but with Reyes and Francisco Bustamante also playing, most in the crowd barely noticed.
Too bad because Peach was simply sensational. After Gomez got out to a 2-1 lead, Peach literally steamrolled the Filipino, quickly piling on the racks to make the score 6-2 in the race to 11, alternate break match. Everything the Englishman did was as it should begood breaking, solid potting, confident safeties--and soon he was up 9-3. By the time it ended at 11-4, Gomez walked away with his tail between his legs, while Peach was jacked to the gills.
That was perfect pool, the Dazzler said as he walked off the table. I think I missed one ball, at the end.

2011 WPBA US Open Champion Allison Fisher, The Duchess of Doom
Rebirth! Allison Fisher Wins US Open
Tulsa, Oklahoma USA- It had been a very long 39 months since England's Allison Fisher had won a WPBA Pro Tour stop title. And over 4 years had passed since her last US Open finals. Amazingly, it had been almost as long since her last ESPN match appearance in the United States. What had once become a routine custom to see the "Duchess of Doom" at the end of every event (and usually winning it), had now become a high mountain to climb for her. With Asian dominance in women's pool the new standard, and teenage World Champions coming out of the woodwork left and right, it seemed to some that Allison's best days were well behind her. Fisher changed the minds of all doubters worldwide by winning her 5th US Open Championship last week.
Fisher's last WPBA Win in San Diego years ago almost seemed like a farewell to an illustrious career... Her win at this year's US Open by no means was easy. Allison came straight from Shanghai,China where she had a disappointing finish with only one match win. A 15 hour flight there and a 15 hour flight back to Tulsa is not something anyone would take well after a bad loss.
"I reminded Allison before her first match, that despite the last tournament, she was actually playing the best pool of her life", said Charlie Williams, Fisher's coach and manager with Dragon Promotions. "Pool is just a numbers game. Keep playing well and eventually you will win tournaments."

PINOY PRIDE AS LEE VAN CORTEZA AND 16 OTHER FILIPINOS ADVANCE TO THE FINAL 64 OF THE WORLD 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP IN DOHA
(Doha, Qatar)--The Philippines made history tonight on the fourth day of the 2011 World 9-ball Championship in Doha, Qatar as the group stages came to a close after four days of exciting pool action.
When Lee Van Corteza pulled away from Swedens Marcus Chamat in the last session of the day, and won what had been a very close match, 9-6, it meant that a record setting 17 Filipino players had advanced to the 64 player, single elimination knockout stage which begins on Wednesday.
Its not difficult to do the math and come up with the astounding result. Over one quarter of the players in the final 64 in the most prestigious pool tournament in the world are Filipinos. The onslaught of Pinoys making a serious run at the World Championship this year runs the gamut of the Philippine pool spectrum: from the legends, the new breed of stars who have risen to the top in recent years, the young guns who have just emerged, all the way down to the unknowns who ply their trade anonymously in the deserts of the Middle East.

Action from the inaugural British Wheelchair 10-ball Pool Championship
Kimberley makes it Three In a Row
Rileys Barnsley was the venue for the inaugural British Wheelchair 10-ball Pool Championship on the 11/12th June 2011. The event was a sure success welcoming two BWPPA newcomers Arni Chan and John Greensmith, while Pete Dawson and Sheikh Haider returned to the BWPPA having played one event in the previous five.
Roy Kimberley the Sandman made it 3 out of 3 in 2011 on the BWPPA tour. Kimberley got his campaign off to a winning start over Welshman Phil Hendrickson, who has made a promising start to his BWPPA career since he played in his first event in October 2010, on this occasion however Kimberley was the victor with a 7-4 win. It was another 7-4 win for Kimberley in the next round but this time he faced much more experienced opposition in Danny Luton, who had already recorded wins over Pete Dawson 7-3 and Gary Swift 7-4

EVENT REPORT: 2011 GB9 PAUL MEDATI TROPHY, PRO CUP II, CHALLENGE CUP II
The 2011 GB9 Paul Medati Trophy has come to a conclusion with Chris Melling, Darren Appleton and Mathew Lawrenson taking the major spoils. This was the third edition of the annual memorial competition, with both this event and the tour in general now hosting a mix of players, young and old, all of whom are at least aware of Paul Medati's standing in the world of cuesports. Tournament Director Lee Rigby was audibly choking up as he spoke to players and spectators before the Pro Cup and Challenge Cup finals, and the emotion was clear amongst all other players and spectators throughout the weekend. Ultimately, however, there was a lot of pool to be played across the weekend, with many tremendous performances highlighting the strength in depth of American pool players that are developing in Great Britain a depth that Paul would doubtless have been proud of.
