Feijen Comes From Behind to Terminate Fortunski in Diamond Finals
Report by Max Lesser - Social Media Manager
Diamond Las Vegas Open | Predator World 10-Ball Championship
All photography courtesy of ©JP Parmentier - used with express permission.
With his steely blue eyes and chiseled face, Niels Feijen long ago earned the nickname “The Terminator.â€
This weekend in Las Vegas the moniker may not have been more appropriate as the former World 9-ball champion left 105 professional players in his wake. Feijen saved his most dramatic exhibition for last, clawing back from a 7-5 deficit with two breaks and runs and some stellar safety play to defeat Poland’s Miezsko Fortunski, 9-8, in the championship of the inaugural Diamond Las Vegas Open Saturday night at the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino.
“I made three quality outs to go from down 7-5 to up 8-7,†said Feijen. “Overall, I think I played solid and I exploded at the right moments.â€
Playing late into the Nevada night, the two players split the first 10 games as they struggled to find their games in the first half of the match Both players broke dry twice, missed shots twice and Feijen committed an uncharacteristic foul. Fortunski clawed ahead 6-5 after a victorious safety exchange on the 1-ball then appeared on the verge of adding to his lead in the 12th game but misplayed position on the 8-ball, ultimately missing a side pocket bank shot. Moments later, Fortunski was bailed out when Feijen, attempting to pocket the same ball and draw the cue ball the length of the table for position on the 9-ball, scratched.
The Dutchman broke and ran in the 13th game and was able to pull even yet again with Fortunski with victorious safety exchanges on the 1 and 2 balls in the following rack. He took the lead and climbed onto the hill with another slow and methodical break and run in the 15th game.

Pagulayan, Sullivan, Janscos Elected to Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame
Mike Panozzo - United States Billiard Media Association
Rob Johnson - Billiard Congress of America
Superior, Colo., July, 16, 2019 - The Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame will welcome a lion, an innovator and a pair of pioneering brothers to the class of 2019. The United States Billiard Media Association today announced that Filipino-Canadian Alex "The Lion" Pagulayan, table manufacturer and promoter Greg Sullivan and Johnston City Hustlers Jamboree promoters George and Paulie Jansco have earned induction into the sport's most prestigious club.
Pagulayan, 41, earned election in a run-off against England's Kelly Fisher, after the two had tied on the initial ballot. He will enter the Greatest Players wing of the BCA Hall of Fame, while Sullivan, 70, and the late Jansco brothers will be honored in the Meritorious Service category. All will be formally inducted during ceremonies on Friday, Nov. 1, at the Norfolk Sheraton Waterside in Norfolk, Va.
Born in the Philippines but raised in Toronto, Pagulayan is one of the game's most expressive and entertaining players. But his reputation as a comic cut-up is second to his reputation as one of the game's best all-around players. Pagulayan burst onto the scene as a 24-year-old in 2002 when he advanced to the title match of the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships, where he lost to Germany's Ralf Souquet, 13-11. A year later, the impish Pagulayan, who is also known as "The Killer Pixie," reached the final of the World Pool Championship, losing this time to Germany's Thorsten Hohmann. In 2004, a 26-year-old Pagulayan broke through, winning the World Pool Championship in Taipei, defeating Taiwan's Pei-Wei Chang, 17-13, for the title. In 2005, Pagulayan returned to the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships title match, this time claiming the crown. He has gone on win numerous major pro titles, including the World Summit of Pool, the World Pool Masters and is the only player to have won titles in all three main divisions of the annual Derby City Classic - One-Pocket, 9-Ball and Banks. He becomes the fourth Philippines-born player to be inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame.
"I don't know what to say," Pagulayan said after being informed of his election. "For a pool player, this is the ultimate accomplishment. And I'm happy to become the first Canadian in the BCA Hall of Fame.
"Being in the Hall of Fame never crossed my mind as a player until I started going to the annual banquet," he added. "I started to wonder if my accomplishments were enough. Now, in some ways, this makes me feel old!"

The GB 9 Ball Tour presents the UK Open 2019
The UK Open is the annual event that features the biggest prize fund of all the GB 9 Ball Tour tournaments - when all is said and done, a whopping £10,000 will be paid out to the players at the Telford tournament.
In recent years this event has attracted the cream of European talent, with the likes of Niels Feijen, Ralf Souquet, Joshua Filler, and Jayson Shaw all making the trip to vie for a share of the swollen coffers and the all-important Mosconi Cup ranking points available, but with the unavoidable clash with other tournaments this year, the big fish will most likely be elsewhere, making this tournament a very attractive proposition for our home-grown contenders.
Former finalists of this event include Mark Gray who beat Wojciech Szewczyk in the 2018 UK Open, in 2017 it was Karl Boyes who overcame Jayson Shaw for the title, and 2016 saw an all international affair as the Netherland's Niels Feijen beat Francisco Sanchez Ruiz from Spain.

Solihull 9 Ball Grand Final Report
Report by: Matt Hawthorn
Photos by: Shaun Berrisford
Solihull 9 Ball's first ever series reached its conclusion last Saturday, 29th June 2019, as 16 top cueists were invited to host room, Rileys Sports Bar Solihull, to compete for the accolade of becoming our inaugural series champion. The tournament would see the premier of our live stream as well as up to the minute live scoring thanks to the introduction of tablets at each of the eight match tables.
In the week prior to the event, qualifiers Darren Saxby and Chris Patient were forced to pull out due to unforeseen circumstances. Their places were offered to the 17th and 18th placed players, Mark Eardley and Elvis Mladinescu respectively. Unfortunately Mark was unable to attend but 19th placed Julian Roper accepted our invitation to complete the line up.
The day's format would see the sixteen man field reduced to 8 during the double-elimination phase, while the straight knockout phase would see the quarter-finals randomly drawn. With previous results or seedings disregarded this format promised to provide quality match-ups at every stage. All matches were a race to 9, played off scratch with alternate breaks.

Austria Are BetVictor World Cup Of Pool Champions Again
BetVictor World Cup of Pool – The Final
The Final
Philippines 3–11 Austria
Austria are BetVictor World Cup of Pool Champions for a second time after storming to an 11-3 victory over Philippines at the Morningside Arena, Leicester, live on Sky Sports and DAZN.
Mario He and Albin Ouschan were exceptional in the final, delivering blow after blow to the Filipino pairing of Jeff De Luna and Carlo Biado.
Both teams had won this event previously; Philippines in 2006, 2009 and 2013 and Austria in 2017. Ouschan and He lifted the trophy that year and made the final 12 months ago, but this was the first time the Filipino pairing of Biado and De Luna had reached the title match together.
Austria had defeated Croatia, Hong Kong, Greece and Spain to reach the final and only conceded eight racks from the quarter-final until the moment they lifted the trophy.

Hosts Out As Spain And Austria Make Semis
BetVictor World Cup of Pool – Quarter-Finals
Quarter-Finals
Greece 2-9 Austria
Spain 9–6 Great Britain A
Hosts Great Britain are out of the BetVictor World Cup of Pool after a 9-6 quarter-final defeat to Spain, who will now face Austria in the semi-finals at Morningside Arena, Leicester.
Austria were in fine form as they defeated Greece 9-2, before the host pair of Chris Melling and Jayson Shaw fell to Spain’s David Alcaide and Francisco Sanchez-Ruiz after the Spaniards pulled away in the latter stages of the match.
It looked as though the early lead would go to Spain, but Alcaide missed on the 8 allowing the hosts to steal a 1-0 lead. Spain levelled but a clumsy attempted snooker by Sanchez-Ruiz left the 6 on for Britain in the next, and Shaw and Melling cashed in.
The scrappy start continued but at 3-3 Great Britain ran out from their own break and had an opportunity to make it 5-3 until Shaw scratched in unfortunate circumstances. The teams exchanged two more racks to make it 5-5 in the race-to-9 before Alcaide spotted a 4/9 carom to put Spain within three.

Great Britain Fight Back To Reach Last Eight
BetVictor World Cup of Pool – Round Two
Hong Kong, China 5–7 Austria
Spain 7-5 Finland
Poland 5–7 Great Britain
Hosts Great Britain battled from 4-1 down to beat Poland 7-5 and secure their place in the quarter-finals of the BetVictor World Cup of Pool at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England.
There were Friday evening wins too for Spain over Finland, and Austria, who defeated Hong Kong, China with both matches also ending 7-5 and the last eight is now set as the tournament moves into its closing stages on Saturday and Sunday, live on Sky Sports, DAZN and networks worldwide.
With Great Britain’s Chris Melling and Jayson Shaw having the home crowd on their side, it was Poland (Konrad Juszczyszyn and Mateusz Sniegocki) who took the first rack, ran the second and then benefited when Great Britain again couldn’t take advantage of having the break in the third.
The hosts got on the board after Shaw executed a good safety from a push out, and Poland then left the 1 on. But Britain again couldn’t take advantage of having the break, this time Melling missing a 6 when they looked to be heading to 3-2, and instead Poland made it 4-1
After their faltering start, Great Britain battled back to level the match and then led for the first time at 5-4. They moved to the hill soon after, but Poland weren’t done yet and pulled a rack back before Shaw and Melling closed out the match to complete the quarter-final line-up.
“They played really well at the start but we didn’t really come out firing,†said Shaw. “We played a couple of silly shots, letting them get in front but we told each other we would get a chance and when we did we took it to go in front.â€
Melling added: “I struggled there; early on I was struggling with confidence. Luckily for me I have one of the best players in the world on my team. If we can win playing like that who knows what can happen when we play well.â€
