Robin "Bankroll" Dodson shares her amazing story!
 Pro9 Robin, you must have the most incredible "rags to riches" biography of all pool players, how old were you when you started playing pool. Why pool, and not some other game? Do you think you had a natural gift, or did you have some urgent need to compete and win, or did you just enjoy playing so much that you got so good?
 Robin "As a kid, I was a natural athlete with great eye-hand coordination & always involved in sports in school. Down the street from where we lived was a place called Westminster Family Billiards. As a young girl sneaking up on my 13th birthday, I thought this would be a great place to meet some cute guys, so one day I wandered in. Self-conscious & trying to blend in with the crowd, I picked up a cue, fell in love with the game & the rest is history! Being a natural, I never really had any formal instruction – I just watched the other players & tried to copy what they did – spending hundreds of hours on the table. I always had a desire to win – it didn’t matter at what…my goal was always to WIN. I ate, slept & drank pool in my teenage years so I had hours & hours of practice under my belt before I ever entered the pro arena. "

Ralf Souquet - Germany
Souquet claims sixth Masters crown
GERMANY’S RALF SOUQUET claimed his sixth PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters title as he defeated the Philippines’ Dennis Orcollo in front of a packed house at the SM Mall North in Quezon City, Manila. The jubilant ‘Kaiser’ screamed with joy as he downed the final 9 ball, as he banished a succession of heart-breaking defeats in the Philippines capital city.
He lost to Ronnie Alcano in the final of the 2006 World Pool Championship in this same city and then he and Thorsten Hohmann were narrowly beaten in the final of the 2009 World Cup of Pool at the hands of Efren Reyes and Francisco Bustamante.
Following on from his recent induction into the BCA Hall of Fame, Souquet, 42, put in two stellar performances today. Earlier he came from 7-4 down to beat Darren Appleton in the semi-final and followed that up by a solid performance to derail Dennis Orcollo who had looked so good over his previous three matches.
"It seems to be my tournament for whatever reason. I've made the final eight times and won six and lost twice. It's not only a dream come true but also the icing on the cake to win it here in the Philippines,” said a delighted Souquet.
"It's the fifth final I've played in the Philippines but the first time I've won one, which makes it all the more satisfying!”
The match itself was tight is the early stages and at 3-3 it was all to play for. Neither player was making the most of the break before Orcollo nailed one in eighth game to set up a run out and establish a two rack lead at 5-3.

Three Ex Champs through to semis
FIVE TIMES Masters Champion Ralf Souquet is on course to capture a record-busting sixth crown as he came through a tight match to dispose of local hope Lee Van Corteza at the SM City Mall North in Manila.
Corteza’s exit from the PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters means that there is only one Filipino in the last four – Dennis Orcollo – who is highly fancied to lift the title on Monday evening. He may well be facing Souquet though as the German looked his imperious best at times.
Corteza stuck with him though as the crowd swelled with each passing rack, and at 4-4 it was anybody’s match. They both made errors in the next four racks as they traded games to leave the score poised at 6-6.
The Filipino made a jump shot onto the pink 4 in the next but left the bank shot which Souquet converted and ran the rack to reach the hill. The German composed himself to run out the next and seal a fine victory.
"It would be a dream come true to win the Masters for the sixth time and the last time was back in 2006. I've won it five times but that doesn't make me the favourite, it just means I have the experience of winning it but I still have to win another two matches," said Souquet.

Thorsten Hohmann World Tournament of 14.1 Champion Again
New Brunswick, New Jersey- Germany once again reigns supreme in straight pool as Thorsten Hohmann dominated the 71st World Tournament of 14.1. USA's Mike Davis had no answer for Hohmann's precision game and knowledge of 14.1. Both players played their very first match of the event against each other, and met once again in the very end.
The matches went longer than expected, and lasted to 3:00am before finished. But a large number of die hard fans stayed till the very end including for the closing ceremonies.
"I really say thanks to the fans who stayed here to watch me play to the very end", said Hohmann in his appreciation for the fans.
"There's no fans in the world like the ones that come to the World Tournament of 14.1 each year. I recognize 90% of them each year because they love the event and keep coming back", said Cindy Lee, CEO of Dragon Promotions.

2011 EVENT 4 - GB9 SOUTHERN MASTERS
The fourth and penultimate pro tour event for the 2011 season got underway as the GB9 Southern Masters took centre stage at the Barceló Hotel in Daventry.
Initially, the winners were all from the North as Blackpool's Daryl Peach triumphed in a nail-bitingly close hill-hill battle with Scotland's Jayson Shaw, winning by the narrowest of margins in the Pro Cup event in Daventry.
In the Challenge Division, Eric Dockerty collected his first GB9 Cup with a relatively comfortable 9-5 win over former Challenge supremo Damian Massey.
Competition continued Sunday to determine the GB9 Southern Masters Champion as the main event played to a conclusion. The title could have been anyone's with the absence of big guns like Chris Melling, Darren Appleton and Tony Drago all currently competing in Manila at the World Pool Masters, but it was the very capable Kevin Uzzell who took the most prestigious honour of the weekend.
Uzzell's closest shave of the weekend occurred early on in the Last 32 of the single elimination stage when Andy Barnett took him to the limit with a hill-hill match, but from there onwards it was relatively plain sailing, and Uzzell cruised to a strong 11-4 victory over Scotland's Jayson Shaw in the final.

The new World Champions: Marek Kudlik, Oliwia Czuprynska and Jouni Tahti
Marek Kudlik is World Champion
Saturday, 03 September 2011: Poland’s Marek Kudlik defeated his fellow countryman Konrad Piekarski in the final match of the WPA World 9-ball Championships for juniors with 11:9.
The two teammates played at eye level during the early stage of the final match. Until the score was 5:4 in favour of Kudlik, no grave errors were made by any of the athletes. In the 12th rack, Piekarski missed an easy 9-ball, giving Kudlik a two-rack lead over him. Kudlik was even able to extend that lead to a nice and comfortable 8:5 in his favour. But Piekarski did not want to bury his dreams for the title yet. He struggled and came back to 8:7 when Kudlik broke the balls and ran out of position, playing a bad shot on the 3-ball. He kicked into the 3-ball and luckily pocketed the 9-ball. Piekarski never recovered from that. He did not find any possibility to stop Kudlik from winning his racks. Finally, Kudlik took the match with 11:9 and became a deserved World 9-Ball Champion in the juniors division.

Klatt dumps Busta out of Masters
CANADA’S JASON KLATT broke Filipino hearts at the Block Atrium Mall in Manila as he recorded an excellent 8-3 victory over Francisco Bustamante in their first round match at the PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters.
A heavy favourite at the start, Bustamante was never at the races as Klatt moved into an early 3-0 lead. The Pinoy legend pulled it back to 5-3 but Klatt put in a solid performance as he outlasted his opponent for the victory.
"The performance was average. I think I ran two or three breaks but we were struggling with the break but overall I took advantage when I needed to,” said a delighted Klatt.
"I'll never forget this for sure and it was an experience in itself playing Francisco Bustamante. I played Efren last year in the Predator 10-Ball with the same crowd and it's awesome to play two legends.
"I missed a few balls but I knew the pressure was on him and I just tried to take advantage."
Klatt can look forward to playing Fu Jianbo in the quarter-finals.

Appleton in dreamland ahead of World Pool Masters
DARREN Appleton believes it is ‘a dream come true’ to be playing Filipino legend Efren Reyes in the first World Pool Masters to be staged in the Philippines.
Appleton, a winner of the 2009 Masters in Las Vegas, meets 1999 World Champion Efren Reyes on Sunday in one of the stand-out matches of the opening phase of the Masters.
“I’m very happy to be here and I thank Matchroom Sport for the invite,” said Appleton at a press conference held to launch the Masters and the World Cup of Pool.
“There are 16 top players here so whoever you play will be tough but when I saw the draw I was praying to get Efren and it’s a dream come true to be able to play him in his own country.
“I’m playing the greatest player ever and I’m really excited about it. I have to go against the whole crowd who will be cheering for him but if I play my best then I know I can win.
“I did play in the England World Cup team with Imran Majid against Efren and Francisco Bustamante and got beat 9-1 so I’m hoping to do better than that, but now I don’t have to rely on my partner playing well.
