2014 PartyPoker World Pool Masters – Shane survives a scare to progress 15th November – 2014 PartyPoker World Pool Masters Round One Karol Skowerski (POL) 8-5 Wang Can (CHN) Chris Melling (ENG) 8-6 Dennis Orcollo (PHI) Shane Van Boening (USA) 8-6 James Georgiadis (AUS) US NO.1 SHANE VAN BOENING survived a nerve-jangling half an hour at the hands of young Aussie James Georgiadis as he edged his way through to the last eight of the 2014 PartyPoker World Pool Masters at the Portland Centre, Nottingham, England. Van Boening, who returns to the UK in two weeks for his eighth Mosconi Cup appearance, looked to be in the driving seat as he free-wheeled through the racks in the winner breaks format to reach the hill at 7-1. However, facing a seemingly impossible situation, Georgiadis loosened up and began to claw the racks back with some excellent shot-making and tight safety play. Van Boening, by contrast, looked uncomfortable as he started to miss balls. In the end though, Georgiadis was up against it in the 14th game […]
