Contact: Mike Panozzo United States Billiard Media Association 312-341-1110 [email protected] Rob Johnson Billiard Congress of America 303-243-5070 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Germany’s Thorsten Hohmann Elected to Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame Superior, Colo., July 12, 2021 — The Billiard Congress of America (BCA) Hall of Fame will welcome a three-time world champion and the winningest straight-pool player of a generation to the Hall of Fame class of 2021. The United States Media Association (USBMA) today announced that German-born Thorsten Hohmann has earned induction into the sport’s most prestigious club. Hohmann, who will turn 42 on July 14, narrowly edged Philippines star Dennis Orcullo in voting and will enter the Greatest Players wing of the BCA Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony will take place on Friday, Oct. 29, at the Norfolk Sheraton Waterside Hotel in Norfolk, Va., in conjunction with the 2021 International Open. In addition to Hohmann, the 2021 BCA Hall of Fame Banquet will also feature the formal induction ceremony for women’s world champion Kelly Fisher. Fisher was elected to the hall in 2020, but no ceremony was held due to COVID-19 restrictions. “You’re pranking me, right?,” Hohmann said when informed of his election. The response was not unexpected from Hohmann, who despite his impressive resume has been routinely passed over in conversations about the best players of his generation. “The past 10 years I haven’t been as visible,” Hohmann admitted. “I know that when the question of who the greatest players are my name doesn’t come up immediately.

Ergebnisse World Pool Masters
PRESSEDIENST DER DEUTSCHEN BILLARD-UNION WORLD POOL MASTERS 4. + 5. September 2004 in Egmond aan Zee/NED World Pool Masters Thomas Engert holt zweiten Titel Gegen Oliver Ortmann im deutschen Finale Egmond aan Zee (dbu-presse) Thomas Engert hat im niederländischen Egmond aan Zee das World Pool Masters gewonnen. Der Dürener schlug im rein deutschen Finale seinen ewigen Rivalen Oliver Ortmann (Anderten) mit 8:6 und bekam einen Siegerscheck über 20.000 US-Dollar. Nur zwei Wochen zuvor hatte Engert schon bei der Challenge of Champions triumphiert. Das Masters-Finale zwischen Engert und Ortmann war lange Zeit ausgeglichen. Bei 6:6 schien noch alles möglich. Nach einem Foul von Ortmann nutzte der neue Champion dann aber Ball in Hand zur 7:6-Führung. Im nächsten Rack musste sich Ortmann mit einem Jumpshot aus einer schwierigen Situation befreien und ließ dabei die eins direkt vor der Tasche stehen. Engert nutzte die Chance, lochte auch zwei und drei und die vier-neun-Kombination schien nur noch eine Formalität, als Oliver Ortmann ein Handtuch zum Zeichen der Aufgabe warf. „Thomas hat den Sieg verdient“, kommentierte der unterlegene Finalist dann auch gewohnt fair die Leistung von Thomas Engert. Als dritter Deutscher hatte sich Throsten Hohmann (Fulda) für das World Pool Masters qualifiziert. Der Ex-Weltmeister wurde jedoch im Viertelfinale vom kanadischen Blitzspieler Luc Salvas mit 8:0 in nur 31 Minuten aus dem Rennen geworfen.
