Event set for London debut
AFTER FOUR years in Manila and two in Rotterdam, the eighth annual World Cup of Pool will be making a welcome return to UK shores when it takes place at the historic York Hall, Bethnal Green in London from 17th to 22nd September.
Following on from last year’s victory in the Philippines, the Finnish pair of Mika Immonen and Petri Makkonen will back to defend their title at a venue that has gained a place in pool folklore following a 16 year association with the Mosconi Cup.
With 32 two-player teams representing 31 countries chasing the lion’s share of the $250,000 prize fund, there will be plenty of teams in with a shout. That will include two from the home country who will sure to be well supported in the East London pocket billiards mecca.
The event will be played to a single elimination format over six days with two sessions a day. In addition to the home nation and defending champions, all of the strongest countries in world pool will be sending teams and that includes the Philippines, Holland, Germany, China, the USA and Taiwan.
Promoters Matchroom Sport will be building the exact same arena as that used at the Mosconi Cup and will be looking to generate a similar atmosphere as the tournament progresses.
Matchroom Sport Chairman Barry Hearn said, “After six years on the road, we thought the time was right to bring the World Cup back to the UK and with its Mosconi Cup connotations, the York Hall seemed the perfect choice for a venue.

THE WPBL ADDS NEW FEATURES TO BROADCAST
The World Professional Billiard League located in Las Vegas, NV is now in the fourth week of its inaugural season. Each week, the WPBL looks to add new features enhancing the overall experience for both fans and players alike.
In recent matches fans may have noticed the inclusion of three more cameras and the use of a new lighting sequence.
Incorporated in these additions, was the “pocket cam” which not only gives a unique view of the process of pocketing or missing a ball, but ultimately making enthusiasts feel like they are part of the action.
The WPBL’s live broadcast is now running with one of the world’s most universally supported streams available on the internet. The stream has been tested and is fully capable of supporting the increasing amount of traffic to the www.wpbltv.com website.
A preview of this weekend’s match-ups will see all six teams in the North Division competing against each other. There will be no matches on Thursday June 20th as a result, the first match of the week will be Friday June 21st at 6:00pm PT. Friday’s match will feature the Toronto Blue Sharks who are currently in 4th place overall versus the Minnesota Outlaws who are close behind in 5th. Players to watch include: Thorsten Hohmann, captain of the Outlaws who is coming off of his 60 point run, while the Blue Sharks Morra currently sits in 3rd place in the individual player standings.

Kim and Immonen Take the Titles at the Ultimate 10-Ball Championships
Our two finalists came from opposite ends of the winners bracket to meet in the hot seat match and the loser came back for a rematch in the finals. Our cast for this drama included Mika Immonen who went through the winners round unscathed and Wang Can who was doing the same until he ran into Immonen in that penultimate winners side challenge. But Wang did not leave that match with a heavy heart. He kept it close throughout and only lost 10-8. He then vanquished Darren Appleton 10-7 to win his rematch. Wang Can had never held a major title before but everyone knew it would not be long before the young man from China stood on this type of doorstep.
Can had done some serious damage on his way to the finals. He steamrolled Raj Hundal 10-4 and then gave similar treatment to Jayson Shaw of the UK 10-6. He took out young sharpshooter Justin Bergman 10-4 and then treated none other than Shane Van Boening like an unwanted stepchild by embarrassing him 10-2. His next victim was Alex Pagulayan and Pagulayan wilted 10-4 under the heat. It was then he met his first loss from Immonen.
Immonen had been in form all week long. He bested Ernesto Dominguez (10-2) and then put away Nikos Ekonomopoulos (10-6) and Mike Dechaine (10-4). Next to face the chill of the ice was Darren Appleton. Appleton had been having a fine run of his own but Mika just proved too strong and beat him 10-7. It was in the next round that he sent Wang Can left and took his chair to wait for the finals.
Mika drew first blood there. But this final was a race to 12 and Can was determined not to let Immonen get too much momentum. Can took the second rack to tie us early. A true contrast of style, Can plays with a quick pace while the Iceman is much more deliberate and thoughtful. Youth against experience. Experience took the next rack but youth fought back to tie us once again.

Karl Boyes - 2013 GB9 Northern Masters Champion
GUAPO SORTS THE BOYES FROM THE MEN
This year’s Northern Masters has reached its conclusion on the GB 9 Ball Tour, with Karl Boyes and Michael Rhodes taking home the major silverware from the tour’s annual 10-ball event.
This was the first event in four years to take place in Yorkshire – somewhat of a heartland for American Pool in the UK. Many of the county’s players were there to try their shot at the title. However, many of the country and indeed continent’s finest players were also there battling it out to take the title home with them and an electric tournament resulted in a quite thrilling final in Bradford.
The Northern Masters final for 2013 was contested between two of the most seasoned players in the UK right now. Karl Boyes, finally hitting somewhat of a purple patch in the domestic season, and Mark Gray who was looking to cement his place at the top of the provisional British rankings in readiness for the end of season World Pool Masters qualifiers.
Boyes started his campaign started his campaign in the tournament with a comfortable 9 racks to 2 victory against Brett Armer, following this up with a 9-5 victory over Jez Graham to put him safely into the last 32 stage. An international flavour came up in the next match as Bruno Muratore tried to stop Boyes in his tracks. It was Boyes who made it though, however, as he overcame the efforts of the pony-tailed Italian in a tense 9-8 win. This saw him through to a match against Sunderland’s Adam Benn Smith in the last 16, a match which he came through 9 racks to 4 and safely putting him into the last 8. There he faced an almighty fright from Benji Buckley before again coming through another hill-hill encounter, eliminating the Sheffield shooter 9-8 and putting him into the final four. Waiting for him there was Chris Hall of Wakefield, and he made sure of back to back victories over Yorkshiremen with a gritty 9-5 win, seeing him into his first main event final since July 2010.

Singh is King and Jazz is Champ!
What a fantastic event this was, 32 players rated at a -1 handicap or below travelled from many parts of the country to participate in the Total9Ball Rookie Search for a Star competition held at The Hurricane Room in St Albans. This competition was very different from others that T9B organise as the main prize was a £450 sponsorship deal for future T9B Amateur events. We restricted the handicaps for this event to a maximum of -1 thus creating a really open field and an unpredictable day full of excitement. The field of players was full of quality both old and new, it was great to see some faces from the past getting involved, Steve Evans and Steve Singh seemed to both really enjoy their day and we hope we will see them again soon. It was also great to have some English pool players swap the small balls for the big balls for the day with Lee McShane, Stuart Bond, and Terry Kearney in attendance.
Matches kicked off at 10am with each player knowing today could be their day to lift the beautiful glass trophy and become a Total9Ball champion. The format for the event was a 32 player league stage with each player competing in three randomly drawn matches, all results were put into one league table with the top 16 players advancing to the knock-out stages. A plate event was also organised - open to all unlucky losers from the league stage and the last 16 knockout.

Mirage named as 2013 venue
The MIRAGE HOTEL & CASINO, the first of the ‘super resorts’ on the Las Vegas Strip, will play host to the 20th annual PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup which takes place from Monday 2nd to Thursday 5th December.
Following on from five stagings at the MGM Grand, the Mosconi Cup now moves just up the road to the Mirage, where promoters Matchroom Sport will be installing their 600 seat arena to produce the most intimidating atmosphere in pool.
Commented Matchroom Sport Chairman Barry Hearn, “We are very excited to have the Mirage as our hosts for what will be a very special edition of the Mosconi Cup. Las Vegas has been our home and away venue for the past decade and we’re delighted to be staying in the city of lights this year.
“I’ve no doubt that we will have sold-out crowds throughout the four days of the event and we will be doing everything within our power to make this the biggest Mosconi Cup of them all. Stand by for some major announcements!”
