21st October – 2014 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup

America’s five for Blackpool announced

WITH JUST six weeks to go until the 21st annual PartyPoker Mosconi Cup breaks off at the Tower Circus in Blackpool, Team USA skipper Mark Wilson has named his five players to take on the huge task of winning back pool’s most prestigious team trophy.

Having assembled a squad of eight players at the start of the year, Wilson has now reduced that to the five players who will do battle against their European counterparts. They are:

Cory Deuel (7 Mosconi Cup appearances)

Shane Van Boening (6 Mosconi Cup appearances)

John Schmidt (1 Mosconi Cup appearance)

Justin Hall (debut)

Justin Bergman (debut)

In order to maximise their chances of glory, Wilson will be bringing the whole squad to Blackpool with the three non-playing members filling very specific roles as he leaves no stone unturned.

Jeremy Sossei is tasked as Offensive Coordinator in the build up and during the event while Oscar Dominguez fulfils the role of Defensive Coach. The eighth member of the squad Brandon Shuff has a technical role as Special Shots Instructor.

Commented Mark Wilson, “Despite having to name the five playing members we are still eight strong and are a family pushing for the ultimate goal. I sincerely could have drawn the names at random and been well pleased, proud, and willing to put it all on the line.

“These guys have all unilaterally improved both on and off the table and represent the sport into the new era.

“Today we are beginning the final stages of preparation with even more urgency and intensity. The guys have all contributed and sacrificed for the entire year and I sincerely appreciate all of their collective efforts now and moving forward. The team and staff are excited and prepared for the ultimate challenge of Mosconi Cup XXI.”

In addition to the eight players and Captain Mark Wilson, Don Wardell MD assists as Vice-Captain while retired Navy SEAL Lt. Commander Amir Pishdad is added to the team as Vice-Captain.

Interview mit Ralf Souquet

3. Dezember 2012 Sixpockets.de Interviews 2

Das Jahr 2012 neigt sich dem Ende zu und es wird mal wieder Zeit mit einer Billardlegende ein kleines Interview zu führen. Zuletzt habe ich Ralf Souquet vor gut 5 Jahren mit einigen Fragen interessante Antworten entlocken können. Das Jahr 2012 war für Ralf, aus seiner Sicht, sportlich nicht das Beste und auch für den Mosconi Cup wurde er nicht nominiert. Einige denken sich, dass da eine Karriere zu Ende geht. Ich glaube, dass Ralf im nächsten Jahr stärker denn je zurückkommen wird. Ich finde es toll, dass er sich bereit erklärt hat zu einigen Fragen Stellung zu beziehen, in dieser vielleicht schwersten Phase seiner Karriere. Kurz vor seinem diesjährigen Bundesligadebüt für den BSV Dachau und anderer internationaler Verpflichtungen, erscheint mir das nicht selbstverständlich … Viel Spaß beim Lesen … Hallo Ralf, willkommen zurück aus Japan. Erzähl uns doch, wie Deine letzten Wochen in Asien für Dich waren und wie Du zurückblickend die All Japan Championship bewertest! Ralf: Danke dir Flo. Asien war leider nicht so erfolgreich und bin nicht einmal in die Preisgeldränge gekommen. […]
