The Iceman takes the title!
What an event! What a happening this turned out to be. 181 announced players from 13 nations showed up for the 9th edition of the Interpool Open 2013. During four days beginners to pros fought it out in the main event, the 9-ball tournament race to 11 with handicaps 0-8. There were no major upsets or surprises until the last day of play. Daryl Peach was beaten by David Larsson who showed his old form from back in the days when he played on the Eurotour and EC. Peach finished 17th.
A surprise for some of you pool fans out there with Andreas Gerwén's victory over Earl Strickland in the quarter final. Gerwén is a hard core Eurotour player, medalist at the last EC and the only one that defeated the winner of this year's China Open, Dennis Orcollo, in the very same tournament.
Mika Immonen was never really threatened during the four day tournament, he cruised to the final against Gerwén. Mika offered up some great pool and controlled the final to win 11-6. This was Immonen's first title at the Interpool Open and we hope to see him back next year to defend it.
Daryl Peach repeated last year's success in the Interpool 10-ball Challenge and defended his title. This prestigious event features only 16 players in a single elimination, race to 8 and winners break format. The prize fund is heavy focused at the top prize. Peach defeated Immonen in the semifinal and Strickland in the final. In the boiling venue packed with people and loud music filling the pool hall the atmosphere was electric late on Saturday night when this event was played.
Four days of great pool, party and fun has come to an end. Next year Interpool Open celebrates it´s 10th anniversary! We promise all you fans out there to do our best to make that event even greater. Thanks to you all for this year.
