2015 US Open 10-Ball Championship Matches Released on YouTube

3rd November – 2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup Final Rankings for the Europeans WITH A last-gasp runners-up finish at the US Open, Karl Boyes, the ebullient Englishman, stole the final automatic qualifying spot from under the noses of more fancied rivals. And it now sets him up for his fourth PartyPoker Mosconi Cup appearance next month. With Albin Ouschan topping both World and Combined Rankings after a magnificent second half of the year, and Niels Feijen winning the Euro Tour Ranking, the selection of the third spot reverted to the Combined Ranking.

Time for the Gold Rush in Doha The 2014 WPA World 9-Ball Championship kicks off on Saturday with a power packed field eyeing pool’s ultimate pantheon. By Ted Lerner WPA Press Officer Photos Courtesy Richard Walker (Doha, Qatar)–There’s been a tangible buzz in the lobby of the Holiday Villa Hotel here in blazing hot Doha over the last two days. As the best pool players on the planet began to arrive for the 23rd running of the WPA World 9-ball Championship, and the hubbub and loud banter of players, their friends and officials have filled the place with life, you could sense that something special was starting to brew. Part of that expectation surely comes from the fact that pool’s best of the best only get a few chances a year to gather together and duke it out for big time glory.
