Karl Boyes - Great Britain
Tough matches with unexpected results
On the center match table, Albin Ouschan (AUT) defeated last years Euro-Tour Austria Open winner Karl Boyes (GBR) 9:5.
In the beginning, both players seemed to be much focussed. However, Karl Boyes left the better impression on the spectator. He broke and ran his first three racks without any doubt. Ouschan also won his first three racks but with a bit more trouble than Boyes. Then the curiosities started to happen.
Boyes broke at the score of 3:3 and the 9-ball went down to give him a small 4:3 lead. Then Ouschan had the break shot. He pocketed two balls but had no position on the three. Both players played safety shots on the 3-ball. When Ouschan tried to thin cut the 3-ball in the corner pocket, he missed it but the cue ball hit the 9-ball and pocketed it to tie the game at 4:4.
Then Ouschan managed to win the next two racks, getting a small advantage over Boyes. Boyes broke the balls after not having had much luck on his side, and the 9-ball went down while the cue ball also scratched. Boyes got frustrated. Ouschan ran out and took a 7:4 lead.
In the 12th rack, Lady Luck seemed to have thought about it once more and turned to Boyes again. He now also missed a ball and the cue ball unintentionally pocketed the 9-ball. The score turned to 7:5 in favour of Ouschan.

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)

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 Associations 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 players meeting has been held, the room is packed with Europes 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 Englands 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 weeks 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 Jasmins 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. Its 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.
