It could have been so much worse for the USA but they won a thrilling hill hill final match when a defeat would have left them three points adrift and the Europeans needing just four more wins to retain the trophy. The venue was once again packed to the rafters and the US duo of Skyler Woodward and Justin Bergman got off to the perfect start with 5-3 over Holland’s Niels Feijen and Nick van den Berg. Coming into the […]

There will be no respite tomorrow when five more matches complete and Europe’s captain Marcus Chamat was pleased with the first day; “Emotions were up and down today. Every match felt like it was a tough game. It is a new situation for me as the captain but I gained a lot of confidence today. I got really nervous when the table was open but then I would think, this is the greatest team in the world why should I get worried? But when the balls […]

2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup – Appleton rates Team USA

3. Dezember 2015 Sixpockets.de Kommentare deaktiviert

1st December – 2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup Dynamite rates the Americans: „We’ll give them 110% respect“ ENGLAND’S DARREN APPLETON has a unique perspective with which to size up the American forces gathered to contest the 22nd annual PartyPoker Mosconi Cup which breaks off at the Tropicana in Las Vegas on Monday 7th December. The five-time MC winner lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania and plies his trade across the USA as well as around the world in major events. ‘Dynamite’ feels he has the inside track, a position which he is making the maximum use of; “They’re a good balanced team; a combination of youth and experience. Luckily for me I live in States so I know all their games really well and that really helps me give information to captain Marcus Chamat and the rest of European team.” Appleton took time out from his Mosconi Cup preparation to give us the low down on the five men lining up in the opposite corner for the 22nd annual transatlantic showdown. Shane Van Boening: “What can you say? […]

Mosconi Cup 2015

1. Dezember 2015 Sixpockets.de Kommentare deaktiviert

Team Europe gewinnt Mosconi Cup 2015 mit 11-7. MVP der Veranstaltung wurde Niels Feijen (NED). Wie in jedem Dezember warten alle Pool Billard Fans auf das absolute Highlight des Jahres. Der 2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup verspricht auch in diesem Jahr erneut alles in den Schatten zu stellen. Vom 07. – 10. Dezember 2015 werden in Las Vegas bei der 22. Ausgabe des Mosconi Cup die Teams aus den USA und Europa bei dieser Matchroom Sport Veranstaltung für ein außergewöhnliches Spektakel sorgen. Zugegeben, in letzten Jahren war der Mosconi Cup relativ einseitig und wurde sehr von den Europäern dominiert. Team Europa gewann die letzten fünf Begegnungen relativ deutlich. Der Mosconi Cup 2014 wurde von Team Europa mit 11-5 gewonnen und viele sind der Meinung, dass die Veranstaltung vom letzten Jahr ein wenig leblos war und auch das spielerische Niveau war nicht das Beste. Nun, die Amerikaner waren im letzten Jahr kaum in der Lage mit Ihrem Team, das aus zwei Rookies bestand, dagegenzuhalten. Allerdings muss man sagen das der Auftritt der etablierten US-Spieler die eigentlich größere […]

2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup – Steve Davis: 2002: „One of the best moments of my career!“

30. November 2015 Sixpockets.de Kommentare deaktiviert

28th November – 2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup Steve Davis: 2002: „One of the best moments of my career!“ He is best known around the world as one of snooker’s greatest ever players, but Steve Davis also has quite a history with the Mosconi Cup. Having played in each of the first 11 Mosconi Cups from 1994, ‘The Nugget’ was a stalwart of the early years of pool’s greatest competition and describes his first victory as “one of the highlights of my career – regardless that it wasn’t even my career.” Unlike in recent times, Team USA dominated the first decade of the Mosconi Cup. Having lost the inaugural event, Europe hit back in 1995 with a 16-15 victory in Romford. But they had to wait seven years to lift the famous trophy again. In 2002 they were 12-9 winners, responding in style to the 12-1 humiliation dished out by an all-star American side in which a 25-year-old Corey Deuel was the MVP. The 2002 Mosconi Cup victory is one of Davis’ proudest moments, and something […]

Shane Van Boening was the first to qualify after yet another stellar year but the remaining four spots came down the US Open. Mike Dechaine was the first to qualify and then shortly after it was Corey Deuel’s turn as he took some impressive scalps to garner sufficient points. The two wild card slots went to Justin Bergman, who enjoyed an excellent season while the final spot saw captain Mark Wilson pick rookie Skyler Woodward to ensure a baptism of fire at the Tropicana next month.

2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup – Final Rankings for Team Europe

3. November 2015 Sixpockets.de Kommentare deaktiviert

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. Feijen already occupied second spot so the final automatic berth went to the No.3 on that list which was Boyes. The two wild card picks went to England’s Darren Appleton, who won the WPA World Chinese 8 Ball Championship earlier in the year and Holland’s Nick Van den Berg who was the next highest placed player on the Combined Rankings following the final qualifying event in Virginia. Taking place from Monday December 7 to Thursday December 10, the Europe v USA showdown is hosted […]

6. Oktober 2015 Sixpockets.de Kommentare deaktiviert

6th October – 2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup Feijen set for MC Number 11 FOLLOWING ON from his last 16 finish at the recent Dutch Open on the Euro Tour, Holland’s much decorated Niels Feijen can ready himself for his 11th appearance pulling on the blue European jersey at PartyPoker Mosconi Cup XXII at the Tropicana in December. The athletic Dutchman first competed in 2001 when Europe was hammered at the York Hall. His next two appearances also saw defeat before he became part of the group of European players who enjoyed almost total domination of the event from 2007 onwards. The 38 year-old Feijen will become tied third on the European list of appearances as well as tied fifth on the Mosconi Cup all-time appearances list. In addition, the sharp-shooting Feijen has won the MVP award three times in the last four years – a record for the event. “The Mosconi Cup was one of my goals again this year and it’s very cool to obtain the first ticket,” said a delighted Feijen. “I’m looking […]
