The Pride of Portugal!
Manuel Pereira is the new 2010 European Seniors Ten Ball Champion after a comprehensive 7-3 win over Italy's Gianni Campagnolo in the grand final match. This very well attended event boasted many luminaries of the pool world, and Pereira beat had to them all, including Belgium's Pascal Budo (lost to Pereira in QF 7-4) and Norway's Christian Johannessen (lost to Pereira in SF 7-1).
Switzerland's David Plattner has taken the European Seniors 8-Ball Championship title beating yet another talented Portuguese player in the final, Paulo Costa put up a valiant fight but eventually had to settle for silver place after the 7-4 final score. Sweden's Tom Eksell and Thomas Radakovits from Austria took the bronze medals.
Germany's Frank Willner won the Straight Pool, beating, yes, you've guessed it... ANOTHER Portuguese player in an EC Seniors final, this time it was Henrique Correia. Austria's Thomas Radakovits and Portugal's Manuel Pereira took bronze.
Putting to rest any doubt that this tournament belonged to the Portuguese, Henrique Correia sealed the deal by winning the 9-Ball gold with an emphatic 9-2 win over Germany's Frank Willner who settled for silver. Austria's Thomas Radakovits and Dejan Orlic from Croatia took bronze medals for reaching the semi-finals.
