| The Ajara Cup is starting in Georgia |
 
The Ajara Cup is starting in Georgia. This time as part of the Dynamic Billard Best of the East series!
Almost 90 players have registered for the start of the third tournament of this year's Dynamic Billard Best of the East series, which will take place on June 6-8 in picturesque Georgia.
Representatives of 12 countries came to the Black Sea. Of course, the largest group is the hosts, consisting of over 30 players. However, Azerbaijan (12 players) and Poland (10 athletes) also joined in.
Czechs, Turks, Belarusians and Slovaks also submitted their applications. Among them Krystian Mrva, who intends to repeat his success in the form of a gold medal won during the second tournament of the Dynamic Billard Best of the East series held in Prague.
– This is a very nice series of competitions, in which I have been participating for years. The advantage of the tournament is the large number of great billiard players – says Mrva. We are pleased to inform that the list also includes two Belarusians and one representative each from China, Iran, and Pakistan.
– The Best of the East series has been operating since 2002. Interestingly, the upcoming Ajara Cup will be the 114th tournament of this rich history – notes Marcin Krzemiński, president of the EEBC and the event organizer.

| A Final To Remember: 2024 US Open Pool Championship |
A Final To Remember: 2024 US Open Pool Championship
The 2024 US Open Pool Championship final was more than a battle for the trophy — it was a collision of legacies.
Fedor Gorst and Shane Van Boening entered the arena in Atlantic City knowing one of them would make history. For Gorst, it was the chance to become the first player ever to simultaneously hold the World Pool Championship, World Pool Masters, and US Open titles — a modern-day Triple Crown. For Van Boening, it was an opportunity to break his own record and claim an unprecedented sixth US Open title.
Their meeting on pool’s biggest stage felt inevitable. Just days earlier, the two Americans had waged war in a gruelling race-to-120 exhibition — a test of stamina and nerve that Van Boening edged. But both knew the true challenge lay ahead in Atlantic City.

| Predator Euro Tour Player Benefits Increase for 2025 |
PLAYER BENEFITS INCREASE FOR 2025
Press release courtesy of Predator Group
10th May 2025
WITH THE PREDATOR Euro Tour looking forward to its third event of the 2025 season with the Predator Austrian Open presented by JO Sankt Johann in Salzburg, the IBPF can announce that henceforth the eight top ranked players in the open division as well as the top four ranked from the women’s standings will have their entry fees and hotel accommodation costs covered.
These benefits commenced at last month’s Estonian Open, using the Euro Tour rankings following the Italian Open in February and will be available at each Euro Tour going forward. It will apply to the top ranked qualifying players prior to the commencement of each event. In addition, the IPBF has scrapped the players’ 5% sanction fee which was applicable on entry fees.
Commented Euro Tour veteran Roman Hybler, who’s fifth place finish last time out in Estonia, launched him into the top eight; “I think it's a really good move for the players. If they know that the top eight will be paid the entry and hotel, it’s an added incentive and a new goal. Expenses are a significant factor for a pro player and I’m all in favour of moves like this to reduce them.”

ALOYSIUS YAPP CROWNED 2025 UK OPEN CHAMPION IN RUTHLESS FINAL PERFORMANCE
Aloysius Yapp delivered a breathtaking performance at the 2025 UK Open Pool Championship, cruising to a commanding 13-1 victory over Spain’s Jonas Souto to claim his first-ever Matchroom Major title.
Final Result
Aloysius Yapp 13–1 Jonas Souto
Yapp, who won the lag, wasted no time asserting control. A precise 7-9 combo in the opening rack set the tone, followed by a two-rack burst to take a quick 3-0 lead. The Singaporean’s break continued to produce ideal layouts, and his clinical cueing saw him stretch the advantage to 5-0 without error.
As Souto remained frozen in his chair, Yapp put together a series of flawless clearances, showcasing his composure and control. By rack six, the score was 6-0.
In the seventh, Yapp left a tough safety on the 2-ball. Souto eyed a tricky 2-9 combo but failed to convert, handing control straight back to Yapp, who calmly extended his lead to 7-0.
Yapp’s momentum momentarily faltered in rack eight after missing a long shot on the 3-ball. Souto returned to the table with a chance to get on the board but left himself poor shape on the 9, allowing Yapp to steal yet another rack.

SOUTO AND YAPP SET FOR TITLE SHOWDOWN
Jonas Souto and Aloysius Yapp are set to clash in the final of the 2025 UK Open Pool Championship, with both players chasing their maiden Matchroom Major title in Telford.
Now in its fourth edition, the UK Open runs from May 6–11 with the first four days streamed live on WNT TV, before the final stages are broadcast on Sky Sports across the UK & Ireland.
LIVE SCORES/BRACKETS
In the semi-finals, Jonas Souto impressed with a composed and confident performance against the former European Open champion Mickey Krause. The Spaniard took an early lead after escaping a tight safety on the 7-ball in the opening rack and never looked back. Krause struggled to settle, and a failed 6-ball in the fourth handed Souto a 4-0 cushion. Krause finally found a lifeline in the fifth after Souto parked the 4-ball, sparking a short-lived comeback.
Despite Krause narrowing the gap to 7-4 after a series of tactical exchanges, Souto held his nerve. A dry break from Krause in the fourteenth allowed Souto to regain momentum, running the rack to reach the hill. Krause's final chance slipped away with a scratch off the 1-ball, giving Souto the opportunity to clear and seal his place in a Matchroom Major final for the very first time.

YAPP, SOUTO, KRAUSE, STYER HEAD INTO FINAL FOUR
Aloysius Yapp, Jonas Souto, Mickey Krause, and Tyler Styer have booked their places in the semi-finals of the 2025 UK Open Pool Championship after a gripping Day Five in Telford. Meanwhile, British hopes came to a close as home favourite Jayson Shaw exited the tournament in the quarterfinals, missing out on a first UK Open title.
Now in its fourth edition, the UK’s premier pool tournament runs from May 6–11, with the final stages broadcast across the UK & Ireland on Sky Sports, and across USA on WNT TV.

In a repeat of their 2021 US Open final showdown, Aloysius Yapp faced Carlo Biado in the Last 16. The Singaporean star wasted no time, storming to an 8–0 lead after a string of costly errors from Biado. Although Biado snatched racks nine and ten to threaten a comeback, a missed 3–6 combo in rack eleven handed Yapp the opening he needed to wrap up a 10–2 victory.
Yapp then faced Phuong Nam Pham, who had advanced after knocking out Reyes Cup teammate Duong Quoc Hoang. Yapp stayed composed and clinical, racing to a 10–3 win to secure his first-ever UK Open semi-final appearance.
Jonas Souto continued his sensational run in Telford with two emphatic wins. After dismantling Mateusz Śniegocki 10–2, the Spaniard came up against crowd favourite Jayson Shaw. Souto raced to a 6–1 lead as Shaw struggled with errors and poor positioning. Despite brief signs of a fightback, Souto remained dominant, sealing a 10–3 win to deny Shaw a chance at a maiden UK crown.

CAPITO CRASHES OUT IN TITLE DEFENCE AS YAPP ENDS UK OPEN REIGN
Robbie Capito’s title defence came to a bitter end in the Last 64 of the 2025 UK Open Pool Championship, falling 10-7 to close friend and Singaporean standout Aloysius Yapp, who delivered a clinical performance to derail the Hong Kong star’s hopes of back-to-back UK Open glory.
Now in its fourth edition, the UK Open runs from May 6–11, with the final stages broadcast across the UK & Ireland on Sky Sports, and across USA on WNT TV.

Yapp reached the hill first in their tightly contested match, but Capito dug in, fighting to stay alive in the tournament. A clever safety on the two-ball looked to swing momentum in Capito’s favour—but Yapp responded with a sublime jump shot to pot the two, clean up the rack, and seal a 10-7 victory. The loss marked a painful early exit for Capito in his first-ever title defence.
Another big name to bow out was former UK Open champion Joshua Filler, who breezed past compatriot Can Salim in the Last 64, but fell 10-8 to American Tyler Styer in the Last 32. Styer kept the pressure high throughout, stunning the European Open champion with a composed and errorless display.
Meanwhile, Jayson Shaw and Mickey Krause—both recent Mosconi Cup standouts—powered into the Last 16. Shaw was in imperious form, dispatching two top talents from Chinese Taipei: first Chang Jung-Lin, followed by Lu Hui Chan in the Last 32. Krause followed his former captain’s lead, staging a gritty 10-8 comeback win against Spain’s David Alcaide before cruising to a 10-4 victory over Marc Bijsterbosch.
Fresh off dismantling the reigning champion, Aloysius Yapp then faced fellow Singaporean Nicholas Tann in the Last 32, producing a confident 10-5 win to continue his charge. Joining him in the Last 16 are his Reyes Cup teammates Carlo Biado and Duong Quoc Hoang, who each showed remarkable resilience under pressure.

SHAW SURGES AS CAPITO STUMBLES IN TITLE DEFENCE
Day Three of the 2025 UK Open Pool Championship saw fortunes shift at the Telford International Centre, as defending champion Robbie Capito faltered in his title defence while home favourite Jayson Shaw continued his dominant march toward a maiden UK Open crown.
Now in its fourth edition, the UK Open runs from May 6–11 with the first four days streamed live on WNT TV, before the final stages are broadcast on Sky Sports across the UK & Ireland.

Capito endured a rocky start to the day, suffering a 9-3 defeat to Poland’s Konrad Juszczyszyn that sent him to the Losers’ Bracket. With his championship hanging by a thread, the Hong Kong star bounced back with a resounding 9-2 victory over Hubert Lopotko to stay in contention for the single elimination rounds.
Meanwhile, Jayson Shaw kept the home crowd roaring with a clinical 9-4 win over fellow Brit Tony Burton, booking his place in the Last 64. By contrast, Skyler Woodward’s route became more complicated. The former Mosconi Cup captain fell 9-5 to rising Filipino sensation AJ Manas, who capitalised on key errors to deliver a breakout win. Woodward responded in his following match, grinding out a 9-7 victory over fellow American Nathan Childress to survive another day.
