Shane on track for Masters No.3

Shane Van Boening (USA) 8-2 Francisco Sanchez Ruiz (ESP)
David Alcaide (ESP) 8-3 Ralf Souquet (GER)
Albin Ouschan (AUT) 8-6 Mika Immonen (FIN)

THERE WERE wins for Shane Van Boening, David Alcaide and Albin Ouschan as the 24th annual Dafabet World Pool Masters got underway in Gibraltar on Friday evening. Taking place at the Victoria Stadium, the Masters sees 16 top international players competing in the shadow of the Rock of Gibraltar to determine the destination of the $20,000 top prize. The whole event is broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK & Ireland and on networks around the world.

Defending champion Shane Van Boening got off to a great starts as he looks to win his third consecutive World Pool Masters title. He beat up-and-coming young Spaniard Francisco Sanchez Ruiz 8-3 and looked in good stroke throughout the match. In 2015, Van Boening became the first player to win back-to-back Masters in the 23 year history of the event and with the event skipping a year in 2016, he is three matches away from a 3-peat.

“The first match is always tough,” said Shane.

“At any tournament I go to I think about the first match – you’re not used to the atmosphere, you don’t know the table very well. Tonight I was comfortable and I have been working on my game all day and it worked well.

“I am playing tournaments all year long so I don’t feel any pressure, I just want to play my game. I won five US Opens with the winner breaks format and it is to my advantage to winner tournaments.”

Immonen and Cheng are last minute subs

WITH TWO last minute drop outs due to visa issues, Matchroom Sport can announce the final line-up of the 24th Dafabet World Pool Masters, which gets underway tomorrow Friday, February 17 concluding on Sunday.

Cheng Yu Hsuan aka Kevin Cheng (Chinese Taipei), the 2015 US Open Champion, steps in to replace Wu Jiaqing (China) while Hall of Famer Mika Immonen of Finland comes in for Lee Vann Corteza.

Taking place at the Victoria Stadium, Gibraltar, the Masters sees 16 top international players competing in the shadow of the Rock of Gibraltar to determine the destination of the $20,000 top prize.

For Immonen, it is a great chance to put a World Pool Masters victory on his resume after many attempts, the nearest being an 8-6 defeat to Alex Pagulayan in the championship match in Las Vegas in 2008.

“This is one title I haven’t managed to claim so I grabbed at the chance to travel last minute from New York to Gibraltar. I feel as if I’ve got nothing to lose and I’m really looking forward to facing Albin Ouschan on Friday night,” said Immonen.

Craig Marsh - 2017 IPA World Champion

First things first and each and every year the IPA World Professional Pool Championships are getting better and better. Last year the introduction of a betting partner in Coral took entries though the roof and this year we introduced a new Simonis cloth – grey instead of green (no longer the insulting “small snooker label thank you very much), harder working, easier to clean, and more importantly no nap and no roll offs so very very popular with the players.

The highest ever list of entries entry started off on Tuesday with five titles up for grabs (Open, Ladies, Seniors, Doubles, and Mixed Doubles), but by late Saturday afternoon the numbers had been pared down to just the four in the main event with 2016 runner-up Craig Marsh up against Ian Ali in the first semi final and Yannick Beaufils versus Simon Fitzsimmons in the other. Craig went through by a score line of 3-1 before a longer battle eventually saw Simon also win by three sets to one to go in to his first ever IPA World Final on Saturday evening.

Ruijsink is new Captain America    

JOHAN RUIJSINK, the authoritative Dutchman who led the European side undefeated through seven Mosconi Cups, makes a return to the competition after a two year absence as he takes the reins of Team USA in an attempt to revive America’s flagging fortunes in the transatlantic team event.

Ruijsink last captained the European side at Blackpool in 2014 when they ran out comfortable 11-5 winners over the USA. He promptly announced his retirement from an event that he had come to over-shadow after turning Europe from regular losers into the dominant Mosconi Cup force.

Following three barren years with Mark Wilson at the helm, it was felt that the Dutchman’s fantastic experience and his progressive methods in producing winners were ideally suited to get America competitive again.

Commented Ruijsink, “The reason to take on the job is quite obvious; I am an authentic lover of the game and especially of the Mosconi Cup. In 25 years of coaching, the Mosconi has proven to be by far the most exciting event in the world of pool.
