Dutch Open 2015

Ouschan teaches a lesson to Wrobel St.  Johann,  Austria:   In  his  first  match  of  the  Dynamic  Billard  Austrian Open  2013,  Nr.  1  ranked  player  Albin  Ouschan  (AUT)  outclasses   Krzysztof Wrobel (POL) with 9:1. In  Formula  One,  this  would  have  counted  as   a „start-to-finish“  victory.  Ouschan  dominated  the  match from the very  beginning.  He did  not  even have to  come up with his A-game. After  ten racks,  the clear result  was 9:1  to  the  Austrian  local  hero.  The  key  to  success  for Ouschan’s victory  was  obviously  his break shot  and the way  he controlled  his nerves  at  the table.  While Wrobel seemed to struggle with that, Ouschan played as  cold as ice.  He  succeeded  to  pocket  balls  in  80%  of  his  break shots  while Wrobel only scored 40% there. One could tell the  difference  in  experience  between  the  two contestants.  In  his  next  match  on  the  winner’s  side, Ouschan  will  take  on  Marek  Kudlik,  a  teammate  of Wrobel. Other  notable  results   from  the  first  rounds   include  Babken  Melkonyan (ROM)  defeating  Hanni  Al-Howri  (UAE)  with  9:6.  Christian  […]

1st November – 2017 partypoker Mosconi Cup Shaw and Alcaide complete defending champion’s line-up WITH JAYSON SHAW and DAVID ALCAIDE taking the final two wildcard spots on Team Europe, the sides are now set for the 24th annual partypoker Mosconi Cup which takes place at the Mandalay Bay Resort from 4-7 December. With Ralf Souquet, Josh Filler and then Nick van den Berg qualifying for the team via the ranking system, it was left to Euro skipper Marcus Chamat to pick the final two players to make the team. Jayson Shaw, a superb winner at the recent US Open and flying high in the World Rankings, was an obvious choice as leader of the contending pack. Then, after much thought, Chamat went for Spanish veteran David Alcaide, who has enjoyed an outstanding 24 months including multiple Euro Tour wins as well as victory at the 2017 World Pool Masters. Commented Chamat; “It was a very hard decision to make and is testament to the fact that there are so many great players in Europe. “Jayson […]

19/03/2017 Tkach and Feijen dethrone the Austrian superpower siblings Kristina Tkach (RUS) and Niels Feijen (NED) have just won the gold medals in the straight pool discipline of the Dynamic Billard European Championships in Albufeira, Portugal. In the men’s division, „The Terminator“ Niels Feijen played an outstanding tournament. Having won the coveted title in straight pool already 5-times before, Feijen really had an incentive this time. His A-status with the Dutch Olympic Committee and therefore the funding for another year was in danger if he would not have made in into the last eight of the event. After having ousted Stephan Cohen (FRA) 125:3 in the round of the last 32 players, he met the defending Champion Albin Ouschan (AUT) in the next round. Ouschan was a very high obstacle that Feijen needed to overcome in order to get into the round of the last 8. But „The Terminator“ stood tall today and took down Ouschan with 125:88 after a firefly fought match. In the quarter-final, Feijen eliminated Jakub Koniar (SVK) with 125:46 without further […]
