Joy for Austria and Spain
Spanish pool supremo David Alcaide was in unbeatable form as he racked up huge breaks to annihilate his opponents in the European Championships Straight Pool event. On his way to the final, the under-rated Alcaide eliminated Niels Feijen with a monstrous 121 break to close the match, and fellow Dutchman Nick van den Berg fell to Alcaide in the semifinals. The final score in the title match said it all, as the Spaniard trounced a demonstrably very capable Artem Koshovj from the Ukraine with a resounding 125-3 victory.
Meanwhile in the women's event, the Austrian duo of Gerda Hofstatter and Jasmin Oushcan shared the spoils of war as they faced each other in yet another final. Rostered as the number 1 and number 2 seeds of the event, it was Ouschan who shone as brightly as the gold medal for her 75-19 victory over her compatriot.
About 250 participants from 36 countries spanning the breadth of Europe from Britain to Russia have descended on Zagreb in Croatia, vying for medals and glory at the 2010 European Pool Championships, the action continues for the next 7 days and a livestream of the best selected clashes can be viewed for free at Bwin.com.
