Mark Wilson is named USA Mosconi captain
TEAM USA will enter the 2014 PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup with MARK WILSON captaining the side. The 58 year-old from Illinois will be taking full charge of every aspect of the team, including selection, over the months leading up to the event and is charged with changing America’s declining fortunes in the transatlantic team tussle.
This year the Mosconi Cup takes place from Monday 1st to Thursday 4th December at the Tower Circus in Blackpool in North West England. With the Americans having been on the wrong end of a series of defeats, Wilson will need all his guile, experience, tactical nous and man management skills to turn things around.
As a player, the highlight of Wilson’s career was when he represented the USA in the inaugural Mosconi Cup in 1994 and had the honour of pocketing the final 9 ball to give America a 16-12 victory.
Now based in St Louis, Wilson has always worked within the game, providing commentary and analysis for televised pool matches, giving instructional clinics, and he has recently written a well-received instructional book.
In addition he is currently the head coach of the highly-rated Lindenwood University Billiards programme in St Charles, Missouri.
“Pool has been my entire adult life and today I feel very honored and humbled to be named captain of the 2014 U.S. Mosconi Cup Team,” said Wilson.
“I am very happy for the opportunity to return to this historic event which holds much more excitement and electricity than any other pool competition.

Day 4 - Match 2: The Semi-Finals: Stephen Maguire vs. Ronnie O'Sullivan.
What was considered the hottest ticket in town, both attacking players lived up to the hype with a packed crowd but resulted in a one-sided domination. Stephen Maguire started off as the better player taking down the first frame. However, with a few vital missed chances by Maguire, it was 'The Rocket' Ronnie O'Sullivan to win his first four frames before the break. The first break ended 4 frames to 1 for 'The Rocket', leaving Maguire with more than something to think about.
The second session gave Maguire a chance to come back with one frame, but that was that for this Dafabet Masters as 'The Rocket' Ronnie O'Sullivan produced a jaw dropping performance, the same performance he has produced thoughout the Masters by taking the last two frames to win the match and go through to the Final of the 2014 Dafabet Masters.

Day 4 - Match 1: The Semi-Finals: Mark Selby vs. Shaun Murphy.
As a packed crowd gathered for the first match of the day, two top 10 world ranking giants would grace the floor to entertain them for what would become a surprise in the end. Of course, both players not only wanted to make the final but more importantly be crowned Masters Champion. However, both players had a different reason why. For Mark Selby "The Jester from Leicester" if he was to go through to the final and win the Masters it would be his fourth (previously winning it in 2008, 2010 and 2013). For Stephen Murphy, it would mean winning the Triple Crown, only three players in history have ever done so (Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams).
The match started off pretty terribly for Shaun Murphy and never really got of the ground. Although a few missed chances by Mark Selby gave Shaun Murphy the opportunity to play some amazing safety plays to stop Mark Selby in his tracks, although this was only a brief moment. "The Jester from Leicester" Mark Selby soon won a series of frames when the first half finished 4-1 to Selby. The second half, Mark Selby carried on with some stunning shots and although Shaun Murphy did claw one frame back, his poor performance throughout the match gave Shaun Murphy no chance. Mark Selby now goes through to the final to face either Steven Maguire or Ronnie O'Sullivan in the Dafabet Masters final on Sunday.

Day 3 - Match 2: Neil Robertson vs. Stephen Maguire.
Having the first match finished so quickly the crowed at tonight’s match were hoping that this match wouldn't be so one-sided. Tonight's match was quoted as another 'big one' but ended up quite surprising. The 2012 Masters Champion Neil Robertson and favourite not only for this year’s tournament but favourite for the match, did not really show at times why he is the 'Thunder from Down Under', although still potting some amazing plays and excellent safety shots.
However, lacking execution of potting vital balls from Neil Robertson, Stephen Maguire took full advantage by sticking to his game play by pulling off spectacular long pots and left the 'Thunder from Down under' still sitting in his corner. The match ended surprisingly to everyone 6-2 to Stephen Maguire taking him through to the Semi-Final to face 'The Rocket' Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Day 3 - Match 1: Ronnie O'Sullivan vs. Ricky Walden.
Ronnie O'Sullivan proves yet again in just over 40-minutes in total match play, why he is not only box office material but a crowd filler by thrashing Ricky Walden 6-0 in classic Ronnie O'Sullivan style. 'The Rocket' Ronnie O'Sullivan in the first half, in around 20-minutes, was up 4-0. In the second half, vital misses by Ricky Walden gave Ronnie O'Sullivan the knockout blow to take the final two frames of the match, leaving Ricky Walden nowhere to turn or run but to congratulate Ronnie O'Sullivan. Ronnie O'Sullian has not won the Dafabet Masters since 2009, with a performance like this he now must be confident to wipe away the 5-year gap.

Match Report - John Higgins vs. Mark Selby.
A flying visit from World Snooker supremo Barry Hearn highlights the fact that the Quarter-Final match between John Higgins and Mark Selby was one of the tastiest morsels on offer so far this week, and must have inspired the players into action. Nevertheless, at 5-4 to Higgins, it looked like this game was predestined to go the full distance before we see who will finally book his place to meet Shaun Murphy in the Semi-Finals of the Dafabet Masters. Both players had chances as control of the table went back and forth, but ultimately it was Selby who managed to capitalise on them and take the next frame to go 5-5, and in another low scoring frame that could have gone either way, Selby completed the come-back for the 6-5 victory.

Match Report - Shaun Murphy and Marco Fu.
A slimline Shaun Murphy did not get off to a the best of starts at the Quarter Finals of the Masters Snooker, quickly losing frame-by-frame and eventually just before the break losing 4-1. With the missed chances by Shaun Murphy, Marco Fu took full advantage and stormed through into a combatable lead. However, with the frequent missed chances by Marco Fu, visibly showing frustration on how he was playing Shaun Murphy quickly gained confidence to win 5 frames in a row. With the crowd clearly in Shaun Murphy's corner, it gave Shaun a boost of confidence to eventually book his place into the Semi-Finals of the Dafabet Masters.

Boyes – I’m Desperate To Make Blackpool
Karl Boyes is desperate to earn a place on Team Europe for the 2014 PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup after hearing the event will take place at the Tower Circus in his hometown of Blackpool.
Boyes was part of the 2013 European team who thrashed USA 11-2 at the Mirage in Las Vegas, his second successful appearance in pool’s biggest event.
The former World 8-ball champion is now looking ahead to the 2014 event, and says the Mosconi’s move to Blackpool makes him even more determined than ever to earn one of the five spots on Team Europe.
“When they announced the venue was Blackpool I had goosebumps,” he said. “If I can get in the team for the Blackpool Mosconi Cup it will be unbelievable. I am desperate to get into that team.
“I have been to the venue to watch snooker, I have been to take my daughter to the circus there and it is five minutes from my house, so I am desperate to get in that team.

Tower Circus confirmed as 2014 Mosconi host
BLACKPOOL’S historic Tower Circus will be the venue of the 2014 PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup, the 21st running of pool’s premier team event. Taking place from Monday 1st to Thursday 4th December, the event features two five-man teams representing the USA and Europe competing in a series of singles and doubles matches.
Following on from their resounding win at the Mirage last year, the Europeans have already been installed as 2/5 favourites to win the Cup for the seventh time in eight years. The Americans meanwhile will be looking for their first victory since 2009.
The Tower Circus was built in 1894 and has rich history as an entertainment centre in one of the UK’s liveliest seaside resort towns. The Circus itself is positioned in the base of the famous Blackpool Tower.
Commented Matchroom Sport Chairman Barry Hearn; “After two great years in East London, the Mosconi Cup has now outgrown at the York Hall and the Tower Circus in Blackpool is the perfect replacement.
