Friday - Sunday 5-7 October 2012
Players and draw announced for WP Masters XX
WITH THE 20th annual ClubWPT.com World Pool Masters set for Friday to Sunday 5th to 7th October in Kielce, Poland, the line up and draw for pool’s most prestigious invitational events is announced.
Promoters Matchroom Sport have brought in some of the greatest 9 ball exponents from around the world and the field is headed by reigning champion and six times Masters winner Ralf Souquet and World No.1 Darren Appleton, a Masters winner in 2009.
Other previous champions in the event include Tony Drago (’03), Raj Hundal (’05), recent China Open winner Dennis Orcollo (’10) and Canada’s ’04 World Champion Alex Pagulayan (’08 ).
In addition, following on from their magnificent success at the recent World Cup of Pool in the Philippines, where they won silver medals, the Polish pair of Karol Skowerski and Wojciech Szewczyk, along with countrymen Radoslaw Babica and Mateusz Śniegocki’ will surely fancy their chances of being there or thereabouts come Sunday evening.
There is one female player in the event – World No.1, China Open and reigning World 9 Ball Champion Kelly Fisher of England; and the dangerous Shane Van Boening carries the hopes of the United States.
Working in partnership with the regional billiard organisation, Swietokrzyskie Stowarzyszenie Bilardowe as well as the Mayor’s office in Kielce, Matchroom Sport will be returning to Poland for a pool event for the first time since 2006.
The event takes place at the Hala Legionow, Kielce’s state of the art sports venue and the winner will receive $20,000 from a total prize fund of $66,000.

Pool - The inclusive sport
As the London 2012 Paralympic Games come to an end, the eyes of the world have been on "disability sport" more than ever before. I have competed in various sports over the last 12 years, athletics, boccia, wheelchair snooker and wheelchair pool. Athletics and boccia will be on display at the Paralympics, but I wonder how many people are aware that wheelchair snooker was in the Paralympics up to the 1988 games in Seoul?
I have been involved in competitive wheelchair American pool since 2007, and over the last 5 years I have discovered that our sport has little or no barriers between "non disabled" and disabled players especially in the UK where a number of BWPPA players have at some point have played in tour events or open events with able bodied pros, myself included, and ask any of the top UK pool players to name as many wheelchair players as they can and I would wager most could name at least 5 players. However if you asked that same question to a top professional snooker player and most would struggle to name one.

Ramesh Gokhul celebrates with June Collins, visiting from Watford to support her friend.
Ramesh ‘Hustlin’ Gokhul back to winning ways
The 16th September was the date, St Albans Hurricane Room was the host and 10 ball was game as the Total9ball amateur event 2 took place. 26 participants started out with one thought in there minds… "Could I be the first player to become the Undefeated Champion" - winning all matches and scooping both the winner's and the runner's up prize money.
The draw was completed on the day, with such a strong field of players we had some cracking matches lined up. Ex tour player Dave McCarthy made his return to tournament play after two years away. It wasn’t the dream start however, as he was defeated 7-0 by Tom Staveley - would this set the trend for Dave's day?
Gary Bullocke, wearing the brightest multi-coloured jumper I have ever seen, continued his form of Event 1 with a convincing 7-1 over Larry Catapang, and Geoff Windeatt played some top pool, only dropping three racks against Andrew Carter.
Round One saw the clash of friends as Richard Main beat James Wagg 7-6, and travelling companions unfortunately drew each other as previous World English Pool Champion Oly Bale was on the right side of a 7v4 result against Gary Bullocke. There were other wins in round one from Chris Buckmaster 7-4, Gareth Esprit 7-6, Luke Rollison 7-3, Paul Summerfield 7-4, and Ramesh Gokhul 7-6 to name a few, but remember all players were in the 1st Round twice and therefore most players still had a chance of lifting the beautiful glass winner's trophy.

FILIPINO CAPTURES THE 2012 CHINA OPEN WITH A BRILLIANT 11-9 WIN OVER TAIPEI'S LU
With a grand finale performance that spoke of true greatness, the Philippines Dennis Orcollo capped an amazing week in Shanghai, winning the 2012 China Open Sunday afternoon with a brilliant 11-9 win over never-say-day Lu Hui Chan of Chinese-Taipei in front of several hundred people at the Shanghai Pudong Yuanshen Stadium arena.
Anyone who witnessed Orcollo’s efforts out on the TV table today realized soon enough that they were watching a virtuoso at work. Brilliant creative shot making, tenacious offense and defense, terrific concentration and the ability to absorb pressure were all on display from the 33 year old Filipino. The match nearly became a runaway but the fact that it wasn’t spoke more of the courage of Lu, who did himself proud by battling back when it looked like he was finished.
But the beauty of Orcollo’s massive victory in China didn’t emanate from this one match. Orcollo spent the last four days grinding out some of the most hard core wins of his career. The field that descended on Shanghai was deep and at every turn players were leaving pieces of themselves out on the tables. Orcollo actually lost his first match in the group stage 9-8 and had to win two tight matches on the losers’ side to make it to the round of 32.
In the knockout stage which began Saturday, Orcullo put in yeoman’s efforts in taking down three top Chinese players, all of whom brought their A-games to the arena. Today in the semi-final, Orcollo whipped Taiwan’s red hot Chang Yu Lung. And when it came time for the final, the Filipino was primed and ready. And so was Lu.
The match was high quality from the start as the pair split the first six racks, complete with two break and runs each and with both players potting extremely difficult balls.
It was then that Orcollo decided to put his foot to the floor as he went on a seven rack tear, executing creative combinations, kisses, rail first kicks and pots. Up 9-3 he was clearly in the zone and putting on a master class.

ORCOLLO, CHANG, AKAKAGARIYAMA, LU MAKE THEIR MARK
In what was a brutally taxing and hard fought day of the very best in professional pool in Shanghai on Saturday, the 2012 China Open Men’s tournament has been whittled down to the final four. And fittingly, each and every one of the four participants in Sunday morning’s semi-finals earned their spot the hard way.
In the first semi-final which begins at 9:30am Shanghai time(GMT +8 ), the Philippines Dennis Orcollo will take on red hot Chang Yu Lung of Chinese-Taipei. In the second semi-final to follow, Chinese Taipei veteran Lui Hui Chan will go up against the 2011 World 9-ball Champion, Yukio Akakagariyama of Japan.
Each semi-final match will be a race to 11, alternate break. The finals will take place at 3:30pm later on Sunday.
The Philippines Orcollo put in a serious workmanlike day today against an onslaught of hard core Chinese pool talent. He first defeated China’s Fu Jianbo 11-4, then China’s Dang Jinhu, 11- 9. He then moved on to the quarterfinals where he beat China’s gutty Han Haoxiang 11-8, who fought all way to the end.
“All of my opponents today were very tough,” Orcollo said. “But I played good today. I have good concentration, my focus is good right now. This is a really big tournament because of all the good players here from all over the world. I just have to play my game and not think about winning, just concentrate and play one game at a time.”

Roll On Golden 8 Ball
There's nothing like being prepared, and Rob Pearce seems to be excelling in that department, already announcing full details for the third edition of the Golden 8 Ball tournament - slated for June 2013, and once again returning to the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool.
Event Organiser and creator Rob Pearce stated; “The Golden 8 Ball tournament positions itself as a prestigious pool competition which aims to provide the best possible playing conditions, coupled with a bit of wow factor!
“We’re an independent tournament that is open to any pool player, regardless of any associations, governing bodies or organisations that they may belong to.
“Having been bowled over and inspired by the spectacular ‘Grand National’ tournament in France, I wanted to create a similar event that makes our players feel special.
“We may be way off anything like the Grand National as yet, but it’s a start in the right direction and it will always remain my vision.”
Enjoyment is certainly what this weekend is all about, and with an even bigger guaranteed prize fund this year, there's already something to shout about in 2013.
