Home win as Taiwan's Chieh-Yu Chou takes most prestigious title of the year
For 15 years, the Chinese Taipei Billiard Association (CBTA) have been organising superb high quality pool tournaments under the Amway banner, and once again this event's very international field of talented players is sponsored by Amway, and supported by the Sports Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan, Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee and Sports Federation, and hosted at the delightful A-Zone of TaiMall Shopping Center in Taiwan.
The single elimination stage started on Day 3, and as Day 4 loomed we saw the crucial closing stages of this event with just six players remaining. There were two players still flying the flag for European pool fans, Austria's Jasmin Ouschan eliminated Korea's Ga-Yong Kim to book a place in the semi-finals, and in the other half of the draw, Ireland's Kelly Fisher is hoped to do the same later in the day, but she would need to get by the 2009 Amway Champion first, and this would be no mean feat as Taiwan's Chieh-Yu Chou was obviously in form, having ended Jeanette Lee's chances the day before.
On the final day of play, it was a delight to see Jasmin Ouschan's name writ large in the final match to challenge for the title, her reward for winning a tough semi-final match with Xiao-Ting Pan. Unfortunately for Europe's pool fans, Taiwan's Chieh-Yu Chou proved too powerful, knocking out China's Si-ming Chen in her semi-final match and following that by defeating Ouschan in the final. Chieh-Yu Chou, a worthy winner, battled through some of the toughest players in the field of world class contenders - a testament to the strength in depth delivered by a country that encourages and rewards it's star players, and let's not forget, Chou also won this event in 2009.
