Spain's Del Santo-Sanz without a chance against European 9-Ball Champion
With an impressive performance, Nick van den Berg (NED) defeated Javier Del Santo-Sanz (ESP) with a clear 9:1 score. At no time in the match did Del Santo seem to have a real chance against the current European 9-Ball Champion.
Van den Berg had the first break shot and made no ball. Del Santo played a safety shot and forced van den Berg to play a foul. Then, the Spanish player failed to get position on the 5-ball and had to execute a jump shot. He almost pocketed the 5-ball but leaves an easy shot for Nick van den Berg who runs out to take the first rack.
Then Del Santo breaks the 9-ball but unfortunately for him, no more balls cross the head string or are pocketed so the break is counted as a “dry break” where the 9-ball is respotted and the opponent gets the option to accept the table and continue play. In this rack, both players played some safety shots until Del Santo gets the chance after a bad safety from van den Berg to take the rack. He misses an easy shot instead and van den Berg increases his lead to 2:0.
The next racks are all determined by two things: Safety play by both players and missed shots by Del Santo. One rack after the other goes into the account of the young Dutch player.
In the end, both players seemed to struggle with their break shot. Nick van den Berg was clearly better and more solid in pocketing balls on the table with these tight pockets. He therefore deserved the win and took the match with a clear 9:1.
After the match, van den Berg said: “Congratulations to the organizer on these tight pockets. They really make the difference. If you lose your focus for one single moment, you will be punished and the ball will not go in. These are real Championship tables”.

| ABP Pro Players Not Attending the 2011 US Open 9-Ball Championship |
 Association of Billiard Professionals (ABP)
From Dennis Walsh
ABP General Attorney

ABP Pro Players Not Attending the 2011 US Open
Chicago, Illinois- It is with regret that the general professional body of the Association of Billiard Professionals will not be attending the 2011 US Open 9-Ball Championship promoted by Mr.Barry Behrman. Nor will these ABP pros attend the Masters 10-Ball or any event promoted by Mr.Behrman because of monies owed to players and lack of secure funds of prize money before each of his events.
One of the goals of the Association of Billiards Professionals is to provide a platform where touring professionals can pursue the sport they love as a full time career and achieve reasonable financial success. To that end discussions have been ongoing since last year with representatives of the US Open and representatives of the ABP.
Repeated attempts by the ABP organization to obtain guarantees that the prize money will be in place have been refused and therefore it is with regret that the Association and its members have decided to neither support nor attend the 2011 US Open 9-Ball Championship. Notwithstanding the Association’s deep respect for Barry Behrman for his contribution to pool these many years, the players simply cannot commit their time and their expenses for an uncertain payday.

All set up for the Dynamic Austria Open Euro-Tour to begin
Wednesday is always arrival day at the Euro-Tour for most players. It is amazing to see how the venue has changed within a few hours. This morning, the picture was determined by people from the staff team working on different things in order to finish the final preparations of the venue.
Around noon, the first players arrived and accredited with the tournament desk. More and more players poured in as the afternoon went on. Now, after the player’s meeting has been held, the room is packed with Europe’s Elite Pool players. The venue where the tournament will be played is normally a tennis hall with four courts. However, this can hardly be determined at the moment. With the help of the hotel Alpina management and the local hosts around Theo Riedlecker and the UBSC Pongau, the hall has been turned into a top class place for top class pool billiards.

No change at the top
THERE IS NO change among the top six players on top of the 2011 PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup European Rankings, after the conclusion of the World 9 Ball Championship in Qatar last week – and that now puts some considerable distance between the probables and the possibles.
No.1 ranked Chris Melling, increased his lead at the head of the table with a last 32 finish, while Darren Appleton and Ralf Souquet strengthened their positions by reaching the last 16, thus heaping pressure on Niels Feijen and Nick van den Berg who failed to get in the points in Doha.
The biggest mover was England’s Mark Gray, a Mosconi Cup winner in Malta in 2008, who had a magnificent run to the semi-finals. He moves from 26th to 9th but trails the automatic third placed spot by 32 points.

Over 175 players from 34 nations will come to St. Johann
Out of the Top 20 ranked players of the Euro-Tour rankings, only Spanish David Alcaide and French Stephan Cohen are missing in this week’s event. The other 18 will be joined by more than 150 players from all over Europe. Even some participants from Asia are expected to come and play in the Alpina Sports Hotel in Alpendorf, St. Johann. Players come from far away countries like India, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Thailand and even three players from Sri Lanka are heralded to arrive in Austria for the event.
The venue consists of 23 Dynamic II tables, additionally introducing the brand new Dynamic III as the feature table #24. The main arena will again be surrounded by a digital panel which is composed of 18 LCD screens. This will offer the sponsors a superb opportunity to display their advertisement in the final arena.
While local superstar Jasmin Ouschan had to cancel
Unfortunately, Austrian Superstar player Jasmin Ouschan had to cancel her participation today due to health reasons. That reduces the Austrian contingency to 19 players, including Jasmin’s brother and father.

IT'S YUKIO!
YUKIO AKAKARIYAMA WINS THE 2011 WORLD 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A BRILLIANT 13-11 WIN OVER RONNIE ALCANO.
With a super cool demeanor and a red hot stroke, Yukio Akakariyama of Japan won the 2011 World 9-ball Championship, defeating the Philippines Ronnie Alcano in a tense and scintillating finals match on Friday night, 13-11.
Akakariyama won the title with a brilliant display of pressure packed 9-ball before a cheering partisan crowd of close to 1500 people, most of them Filipinos, at the Al Sadd Sports Club in Doha, Qatar.
The victory capped what has been a tremendous recent surge for the 36 year old. Back in May Akakariyama made it to the semi-finals of the World 10-ball Championship in Manila. Then in early June, he placed 5th at the China Open in Shanghai.
In Doha Akakariyama played solid and steady all week. But he also had moments when mistakes crept into his game, especially late in matches during the knockout stages, when the pressure became too much to bear. But always the 36 year old from Nagano quietly sucked it up, and got right back down to business and made it across the finish line. It’s exactly what happened on Friday night.
The match had just about everything fans of championship 9-ball could ask for. The lead and the momentum swung both ways on several occasions, and the outcome was in doubt right up until the last ball dropped; both players made jaw dropping shots and strung racks together while showing absolute mastery of the table. Each player committed a handful of errors too, but under the weight of the moment this was to be expected, and in fact made the match an even more nerve jangling affair.

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, England’s Mark Gray, and Japan’s 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 world’s 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 year’s 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.
