Ramesh Gokhul takes home the 3rd trophy of our 2022 Tour!

Reporter: Andrew Phan
Photographer: Ciprian Dandu


The 8-Ball Autumn Open welcomed 32 players to battle it out for a top prize of £500 and a place in the Masters Final later this year.

Tom Staveley, the winner of the 10-Ball Summer Open was a late entry, originally not interested in an 8-ball tournament but entered anyway as he “hates the game but hates not competing more” - a true competitor’s spirit that despite starting slow going 4-0 down against Mark Foster in his first match.

He went on to win his group with 3 wins then showed continuously improving form to reach the final. But it’s Ramesh Danny Gokhul, who has been dominating our weekly tournaments that brings his form to this event.

Philippines Are Predator World Teams Champions

Reporter: Predator Group
Photography: Predator Group


Philippines defeated Great Britain 3-0 in the final in Klagenfurt, Austria to be crowned 2022 Predator World Teams Champions, eight years after finishing runners-up the last time the event was staged.

The team of Rubilen Amit, Carlo Biado and Johann Chua won 4-3, 4-3, 4-1 against the British trio of Kelly Fisher, Jayson Shaw and Darren Appleton. Both Biado and Amit were part of the silver-medal winning team of 2014, when they lost to China in the final.

Philippines had reached this year’s final with a shootout victory over Germany, who fought back from 2-0 down to force the decider. Britain’s semi-final was against Chinese Taipei, who were defeated 3-1 with Shaw in practically good form for his nation.

The final was much closer than the scoreline might suggest; the first two sets - women’s singles and a men’s match contested by Shaw and Biado - both finished 4-3, before the victory was completed by Amit and Chua in a 4-1 mixed-doubles win over Fisher and Appleton.

“It feels amazing to be champions,” said Amit. “We're, we're very, very happy, and very and relieved. Finally, no more matches, we can rest and just enjoy it and enjoy Austria and Klagenfurt!

“Last time we placed 2nd and now we are finally the champions. I am very happy that I have Johann and Carlo as my teammates because they are awesome, they are very good players.”

BOOK EXCLUSIVE FAN HOTEL ROOM RATE

The SVB Junior Open sold out within minutes as pool players aged 17 and under swamped to take their spot. Due to a surge of demand in the event, the field will double and in the interest of fairness, 32 players on the waiting list were contacted with the opportunity to join the field before working further down the list to double the field from 32 to 64.

64 players will now do battle in a single elimination format that will see the winner take home $2,500 with the tournament played on Diamond Tables, with Simonis Shark Grey 860 cloth, Aramith Tournament Black balls, and Kamui chalk in the same Diamond Arena as the US Open Pool Championship which takes place from October 10-15.

The prize fund of $10,000 sees Van Boening’s official cue partner, Cuetec put up $5,000 alongside $5,000 from Matchroom to offer one of the most exciting prize pots in Junior Pool as well as automatic and free entry to the 2023 US Open Pool Championship set to take place at Harrah’s Resort, Atlantic City September 25-30, 2023.

 Ko Pin Yi Rises Into World Top Ten After APF Asian 9-ball Open Win

Ko Pin Yi Rises Into World's Top Ten After APF Asian 9-ball Open Win

Ko Pin Yi has moved inside the world's top ten on the Live Nineball World Rankings after claiming The APF Asian 9-Ball Open title beating James Aranas in the final 13-11 in Singapore live on the Matchroom Pool social channels as well as on the APF feeds, Matchroom.Live and broadcasters across Asia.

UPDATED NINEBALL WORLD RANKINGS

The 2015 World Champion knocked out US Open runner-up Aloysius Yapp, Masato Yoshioka, and Johann Chua on the way to a memorable victory that sees Ko rise inside the top ten on the Live Nineball World Rankings thanks to the 10,000 Singapore Dollars first place prize.

Aranas showed guile and guts throughout as he reminded the world what he is capable of but in the end, it proved not to be enough to pip an imperious Ko who came from behind meaning the Filipino settled for 5,000 Singapore Dollars and second spot.

Ko has been back playing in Europe this year and acknowledged it made a difference playing closer to home: "The difference between Asian and European style in play is very different but despite that, I still had to be performing at my very best to win the tournament. I felt less pressure with less travel and being able to communicate with people in Mandarin so I felt a lot more relaxed and confident."

Aranas Shows Up Bongay, Enters Semis of Asian 9-Ball Open

Reporter: Marlon Bernardino
Photographer: Francis Lumahan


James "Dodong Diamond" Aranas toppled Lauro Bongay, 11-2, in a duel of the fancied Filipino bets to barge into the semifinal round of the 2022 APF (Asian Pool Federation Ltd) Asian 9-Ball Open tour at the Aspire Recreation Centre in Singapore, Saturday night.

Aranas taking a 6-0 lead in the rout of Bongay thus moved to the semis where he will meet Naoyuki Oi of Japan.

Oi subdued Anthony Raga, 11-5, preventing an all-Filipino semifinal.

Aranas’ win opened the possibility of an all-Filipino final in the inaugural edition of the tournament after Johann Chua also made it to the semifinals in the other side of the bracket.

Chua dismantled Robbie Capito of Hong Kong, 11-10, in the quarterfinals early in the day.

Chua will meet Ko Pin Yi of ChineseTaipei in the other semi-final showdown. Ko waylaid Masato Yoshioka of Japan, 11-4, in other quarters-final match-ups.

Chua is fresh from winning the gold medal in the 9-ball pool competition during the Southeast Asian Games held in Hanoi, Vietnam last May.

Congratulations to Gary Bullocke - Penultimate 9 Ball Pool Series Event Champion

It was the penultimate main event of the season and despite the glorious hot weather from our continued heatwave, 38 dedicated pool players made their way to Solihull for a day of competitive action, high-standard pool and the glorious, welcoming hospitality of Steve, the Riley’s Solihull manager.

The draw threw up some interesting early-round clashes. Anthony Bevan battled through Joe Wall 7-5, and Bash Maqsood got through an early tester in Ryan Helm by the same score. Only one match went hill-hill early on and it was Bash again, this time being on the receiving end of the scoreline against Adam Lewis.

It’s always interesting how there’s usually a high number of local clashes - players used to skirmishing together on a weekly basis meeting for higher stakes in tournament play. Samer ‘The Tony Fry Slayer’ Al Iraqe was too hot for Ryan Coton on the day, Anthony Bevan fell 7-5 to Coton senior, and Jon McAllister edged out Luke Garland in an early battle of the giants. Meanwhile, tour founders Daryl Garland and Andy Carter met over on table 13, with Andy bringing his usual crash-bang style of play to proceedings and Daryl struggling for form. Loser to the tournament desk please!

Albin Ouschan Wins Inaugural European Open Title

Albin Ouschan has won the inaugural European Open Pool Championship at Hotel Esperanto, Fulda in Germany beating Shane Van Boening in the final 13-11 live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, DAZN in the USA, Canada, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, and Switzerland as well as on Viaplay in Scandinavia, Poland, and the Baltics and various other broadcasters worldwide including Matchroom.Live in relevant countries.

Shane Van Boening 11-13 Albin Ouschan

Albin Ouschan wins the first-ever European Open Pool Championship


It was a cagey early affair as Ouschan won the lag only to miss a cut on the two ball to put Van Boening at the table to take a 1-0 lead. Van Boening is usually on form with his break but the new break rule seems to be impacting him more than most and it showed in the next rack as he scratched to give Ouschan ball in hand who duly levelled at 1-1. In the third, it was Ouschan's turn to scratch, and Van Boening lead again at 2-1.

Ouschan was quick to turn it around at the break to soon lead at 3-2 taking advantage of Van Boening's clear misfortune and disbelief. Much like the World Pool Championship final in April, it was nip and tuck as Van Boening leveled. Van Boening then scratched again in the seventh off the break meaning of his last ten breaks in the tournament he'd either broken dry or scratched. Ouschan looked like he was due to lead at 4-3 but lost position forcing him to go airborne on the three and scratch in the middle pocket to give his American counterpart the lead once again.

European Open Day 5 | Filler Falls In Fulda As Four Remain

Joshua Filler crashed out of the inaugural European Open Pool Championship as only four remain at Hotel Esperanto, Fulda in Germany live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, DAZN in the USA, Canada, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, and Switzerland as well as on Viaplay in Scandinavia, Poland, and the Baltics and various other broadcasters worldwide including Matchroom.Live in relevant countries.

Joshua Filler 5-11 Mario He

Mieszko Fortunski 10-11 Jose Alberto Delgado

Shane Van Boening 11-7 Matuesz Sniegocki

Albin Ouschan 11-5 Konrad Juszczyszyn

Filler came into the quarter-finals off the back of a dominant display over Jayson Shaw and the home country favourite was looking to get the better of Mario He, someone who had flew under the radar so far this week. He let Filler make the mistakes to let him in early doors and he lead 2-1 after three racks. The Austrian was strolling around the table with ease leading 5-1 when he opened up a chance for Filler after a miss on the one ball brought the Mosconi Cup star his chance to get back on the board at 5-2.
