Titelverteidiger ist Thorsten Hohmann aus Deutschland, er gewann dieses Turnier im letzten Jahr bereits zum dritten mal. Thorsten Hohmann gilt in der Szene als der im Moment wohl beste 14.1 Spieler der Welt. Er bezwang im Vorjahr Darren Appleton (GBR) im Finale mit 200-164. Darren Appleton stellte im letzten Jahr einen neuen Rekord auf, als er im Halbfinale gegen Francisco Bustamante mit einer 200er Serie die Partie in […]
