2013 PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup – Europe rout the USA

5. Dezember 2013 Sixpockets.de Kommentare deaktiviert

4th December, 2013 PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup It’s Europe in a landslide USA 2-11 Europe Strickland & Hatch 3-6 Appleton & Souquet Earl Strickland 4-6 Karl Boyes Hatch & Morris 4-6 Immonen & Feijen TEAM EUROPE completed their finest ever PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup win, as they beat the Americans 11-2, the second biggest winning margin in the 20 year history of the event. Needing three more points going into the third day, they reeled off the first three matches to hand out a humiliating defeat to the USA. It was Europe’s fourth win on the trot and their sixth in seven years. With a star-packed team, many felt that this was the Americans best chance in a while but after losing the first day 5-0, the writing was on the wall. America won two points on Tuesday but all in all it was a lame performance that will leave many questions. It was Niels Feijen, partnered by Mika Immonen, who downed the winning 9 ball and the final point of this year’s event gave the Dutchman […]

2013 PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup – More joy for Europe

3rd December, 2013 PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup Europe within three after another great day USA 2-8 Europe Archer & Morris 4-6 Boyes & Feijen Dennis Hatch 5-6 Ralf Souquet Strickland & Van Boening 6-5 Appleton & Immonen Johnny Archer 0-6 Niels Feijen Morris & Van Boening 6-5 Immonen & Boyes ONLY A MIRACLE now will prevent Europe winning their fourth consecutive PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup as they once again got the better of their American opponents, winning three out of the five matches on Tuesday and now need just three points for victory. For the Americans at least they can take heart from the fact that they opened their account and are still alive in the event, but otherwise it was another disappointing day for the legion of American fans at the Mirage in Las Vegas. The USA will need to win at least three out of tomorrow’s five matches to take the 20th Mosconi Cup into a final day. “We won another session and that is the most important thing,” said European captain Johan Ruijsink. “The […]

2013 PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup – Europe in Day One rout

2nd December, 2013 PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup Europe rampant after day one white-wash USA 0-5 Europe USA 3-6 Europe Morris/Strickland 3-6 Appleton/Boyes Shane Van Boening 5-6 Mika Immonen Archer/Hatch 3-6 Feijen/Souquet Rodney Morris 4-6 Darren Appleton TEAM EUROPE created the biggest first day lead in PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup history as they won all five matches at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas to establish a 5-0 lead and give the USA a huge mountain to climb. A win in the team game got things underway, before two doubles victories and singles wins for Mika Immonen and Darren Appleton piled on the misery for the Americans. The much-vaunted change in the break rules saw an inordinate number of dry breaks and it was the Europeans who played the better pool and made the least number of mistakes to build up a mammoth lead. Commented European captain Johan Ruijsink, “It has never happened before and it is such a huge lead that you cannot be anything other than delighted. I expect the Americans will bounce back but 5-0 […]

Mosconi Cup 2013

26. November 2013 Sixpockets.de Kommentare deaktiviert

Team Europe gewinnt Mosconi Cup 2013 gegen Team USA mit 11-2. MVP der Veranstaltung wurde völlig verdient Niels Feijen (NED). Vom 02. – 05. Dezember 2013 findet in Las Vegas/USA die 20. Auflage des legendären Mosconi Cups statt. Die diesjährige Jubiläumsausgabe der Matchroom Sport Topveranstaltung wird erneut alle Pool Billard Fans und Begeisterten mobilisieren. Dieser Nationenvergleich hat den gleichen Stellenwert wie z.B. im Golfsport der Ryder Cup. In diesem Jahr konnten sich die Spieler nicht anhand von Leistungen auf den Major Events qualifizieren. Der Veranstalter Matchroom Sport hat alle 10 Spieler selbst nominiert für den Mosconi Cup 2013. In den letzten 3 Jahren gewann Team Europa den Mosconi Cup ziemlich souverän, doch diesmal wird es für die Europäer um Team Captain Johan Ruijsink sicherlich ein wenig schwerer werden. Die Amerikaner machen in diesem Jahr einen sehr selbstbewussten Eindruck und scheinen fest entschlossen den Cup nach Amerika zurückzuholen. Die Nominierung der einzelnen Spieler durch Matchroom Sport hat hier und da für viel Gesprächsstoff gesorgt. Z.B. wurde der amtierende 9 Ball Weltmeister Thorsten Hohmann aus Deutschland nicht […]

888.com World Cup of Pool 2013 – down to last four

21. September 2013 Sixpockets.de Kommentare deaktiviert

21st September, 888.com World Cup of Pool 2013 Final four set for Sunday show down Quarter Finals Philippines 9-1 Hungary Chinese Taipei 9-3 England A TEAM PHILIPPINES made up of Dennis Orcollo and Lee Vann Corteza ended the 888.com World Cup of Pool journey of Hungary as they hammered them 9-1 to advance to Sunday’s semi-finals where they will face Chinese Taipei who beat England. With victories over Croatia, Singapore and now Hungary, there were probably tougher routes to the final day of the event but Orcollo and Corteza barely put a foot wrong as they broke well, potted well and on the rare occasions that their opponents got to the table, it was to extricate themselves from a snooker. The Hungarians, who qualified for the main event in a qualifying tournament in August, had put out China in the first round and then Russia in round two, will take a lot from their participation in the event and come back stronger next year. “We were a bit lucky off the break,” said Corteza, modestly […]

20th September, 888.com World Cup of Pool 2013 Down to the last eight in London Round 2 Japan 7-6 USA Holland 7-5 India England A 7-5 Italy WITH TWO days play left at the 888.com World Cup of Pool, the tournament is down to the last eight teams as Japan, Holland and England A all recorded second round wins at the York Hall in London. With England B already through to the weekend’s quarter finals, the A team followed them in as they came from behind to beat the plucky Italian pairing of Bruno Muratore and Fabio Petroni. The Italians enjoyed some good fortune and before long they were 4-1 to the good as the English team of Karl Boyes and Darren Appleton sank deeper into their chairs. England took the next, but the Italians though were in stroke and they took the next to move to 5-2 and put the English under extreme pressure. A blistering break from Muratore left them with no reward as the 1 ball was covered by the 2 and […]

19th September, 888.com World Cup of Pool 2013 Double white-wash for Teams England! Round 1 England A 7-0 Indonesia Round 2 Finland 7-6 Korea England B 7-0 Germany THERE WAS double joy for the two English teams at the 888.com World Cup of Pool as first England A routed Indonesia 7-0 to reach the second round, and then the B team smashed Germany by a similar score line to reach the quarter-finals. Both teams looked in outstanding shape and with them both being in different halves of the draw the possibilities of an all-England final on Sunday night are not out of the question. England A, comprised of former World Champions Darren Appleton and Karl Boyes, looked very much the part as they completed the first round matches with a thumping 7-0 win over Indonesia at the York Hall to set up a second round game against Italy. Looking focused throughout, England never let the Indonesian pairing of Ricky Yang and Irsal Nasution off the hook as they put on the best performance of the […]
