Five nations continue to battle for pool supremacy in Indiana
The field has slimmed down to the single elimination stages at the Horseshoe Casino in Indiana, and the remaining field of players is still literally stacked full of Europeans including Tony Southern and Matt Duffy from Great Britain.
Sweden, Belgium and Finland are also represented in the Quarter Finals as well with Henrik Larrson, Kurt Deklerck and Jouni Tahti all making it through the double elimination stages.
The USA is still the single nation with the most competitors still in with a shot as Nick West, John Reynolds and Charlie Hans are all nicely spread throughout the field and will all be hoping to keep the trophy on US soil.
