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 […]

20th September, 888.com World Cup of Pool 2013 Big guns make their move Round 2 Hungary 7-4 Russia Philippines 7-3 Singapore Chinese Taipei 7-1 Greece UNFANCIED QUALIFIERS Hungary continued where they left off against China on Wednesday as they once again made light work of more exalted opposition as they put paid to Russian hopes at the 888.com World Cup of Pool by a 7-4 score line. There were also wins at the York Hall for Chinese Taipei and Philippines as the big guns made their move into the quarter-finals. Balazs Mikos and Gabor Solymosi looked to be enjoying every minute of it and played in the sort of relaxed manner that can count for a lot in a high pressure event like the World Cup. The Hungarians got off to a fast start as they made the most of some Russian errors and although Stepanov and Chinakhov mounted a comeback it was not enough. That puts the Hungarian pair in the quarter-finals where they will face the Philippines who came through unscathed against Singapore […]

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 […]

19th September, 888.com World Cup of Pool 2013 Chinese Taipei, Greece and Italy win as first round nears end Chinese Taipei 7-5 Belgium Greece 7-0 Australia Italy 7-3 Spain THERE WAS more first round action in the 888.com World Cup of Pool at the York Hall in London and there were wins for Chinese Taipei, Greece and Italy who all make their way through to the second round. Italy won the session closer as they got the better of Spain in the Mediterranean clash. The Spanish – David Alcaide and Juan Carlos Exposito – didn’t enjoy the best of luck as they scratched a few times and were confronted by some tricky layouts. The Italian pair of Bruno Muratore and Fabio Petroni, who has been representing their country since the early days of the competition, looked in very good shape though and will be quietly confident about the weekend. They will play England A or Indonesia in round two. Earlier, Australia, who has yet to progress beyond the first round at the 888.com World Cup […]

18th September, 888.com World Cup of Pool 2013 Smooth Hungary leave China reeling Japan 7-4 Sweden Hungary 7-2 China Russia 7-5 Hong Kong The 2013 888.com World Cup of Pool received its first major shock today at the York Hall in East London as European qualifiers Hungary dumped two-time World Cup champions China out of the competition with a clinical 7-2 win. The Hungarian duo of Gabor Solymosi and Mikos Balazs had scrapped their way through a European qualifying event in Croatia last month, but their respective careers to date have been fairly low key. On the other hand, the Chinese pair of Li Hewen and Liu Haitao, have excellent track records with Li in particular, a twice winner of this event and also a bronze and silver medallist at the World Pool Championship in 2006 and 2012 respectively. However, pedigree counted for nothing as the Hungarians played flawlessly to move into a 5-0 lead. Despite the Chinese grabbing a couple of racks, to give themselves a slim chance in the winner breaks format, they […]

17th September, 888.com World Cup of Pool 2013 England B, Holland and Philippines through Holland 7-2 Scotland England B 7-4 Portugal Philippines 7-4 Croatia THERE were wins for three of the fancied teams at the 888.com World Cup of Pool as England B, Holland and the Philippines all made their way into the second round as play continued at the York Hall in London. The Philippines pair of Dennis Orcollo and Lee Vann Corteza closed out the evening beating Croatia – Karlo Dalmatin and Ivica Putnik – 7-4. The Croatians were in with a chance as they stayed with their opponents in the early stages, but a succession of errors saw the team spirit drain away. With a strong Filipino contingent in the crowd, including the Ambassador, the duo from Manila completed the win. In the second match, England B – Chris Melling and Daryl Peach – were big favourites against a Portuguese team making their 888.com World Cup of Pool debut and they justified the bookmaker’s faith with a scrappy 7-4 win to book […]

17th September, 2013 888.com World Cup of Pool First session completes with wins for three favourites Finland 7-2 Austria Korea 7-2 Estonia Germany 7-4 Malta Defending champions Finland – Mika Immonen and Petri Makkonen – are through to the second round of the 888.com World Cup of Pool following a comfortable 7-2 win over Austria as the six-day tournament got underway at the York Hall in East London. They won five racks in a row from 2-1 down to seal victory, after Austria, represented by Jasmine and Albin Ouschan, looked set to go 3-1 ahead. Jasmine, though, miscued pocketing the brown 7 and lost position. Trying to catch up left her with a tough cut on the 9 ball which she left in the jaws of the corner pocket. After that the tide turned as the confident Finnish duo sprinted for the line. “It’s always tough in the first match. We were a bit jittery and they had a chance for 3-1 but it was a tough one for Jasmine on the 9 and she […]

„Team Philippines gewinnt 2013 World Cup of Pool gegen Team Holland mit 10-8. In einem sehr spannenden Finale sind Lee Vann Corteza und Dennis Orcollo ein wenig stabiler und gewinnen gegen Nick van den Berg und Niels Feijen hochverdient. Den 3. Platz belegen die Teams aus Taiwan (Ko Pin-Yi & Chang Jung-Lin) und Finland (Mika Immonen & Petri Makkonen)!“ Vom 17. – 22. September 2013 findet in der Londoner York Hall das wohl aufregendste Pool Billard Event des Jahres statt, der World Cup of Pool. Nach 6 Jahren kehrt die Matchroom Sport Veranstaltung zurück in die legendäre York Hall. An die Stätte, in der im letzten Dezember die Europäer beim Mosconi Cup erfolgreich waren. Neben dem Mosconi Cup ist der World Cup of Pool das wohl außergewöhnlichste und am besten organisierte Turnier des Jahres, nirgends ist das Publikum so nah an den Spielern und die Stimmung sucht ihresgleichen. Da es sich um ein Team Event bzw. Doppelevent handelt, sind die üblichen Einzelspielermechanismen außer Kraft gesetzt, hier ist der Druck auf die Spieler noch mal um […]

Der in der Zeit vom 17. – 22. September 2013 stattfindende World Cup of Pool wird Live von Sport1 übertragen. Das Pool Billard Doppelevent der Extraklasse wird in der York Hall in London ausgetragen und 31 Nationen kämpfen um eine der begehrtesten Trophäen, die es im Pool Billard Sport gibt. Zu sehen ist das Turnier bei Sport1 im kostenlosen Internet Livestream und ab dem Viertelfinale auch im Free TV. Kommentiert wird das Pool Billard Spektakel von Sport1 Kommentator Sebastian Bernsdorff und Pool Billard Bundestrainer Andreas Huber. Ich bin gespannt auf die Übertragung des Senders und ob man es schafft die außergewöhnliche Atmosphäre des World Cup of Pool einzufangen. Es bleibt abzuwarten, in welchem Umfang die Partien gesendet werden. Ich bin recht optimistisch das sich zumindest im Livestream die Werbeblöcke in Grenzen halten 😉 Allerdings legt der Veranstalter Matchroom Sport großen Wert darauf, dass die Veranstaltung im Mittelpunkt steht und vernünftig präsentiert wird.
