Grupa 5 je bila posebno zanimljiva jer su u njoj igrale dvije ponajbolje svjetske igračice: Jasmin Ouschan i Yu Ram Cha. Nažalost, niti jedna nije izborila završnu fazu natjecanja. Jasmin je bila blizu, ali je u meču za ulazak u 32 izgubila od Denisa Orcolla rezultatom 4:9.

    PRESS RELEASE EPBF Press Office Spain Open / Malaga 6. – 8. December 2008 Niels Feijen seizes the Crown of Spain! The EPBF could not have wished for a better end to 2008 after the successful anniversary EC in Willingen, Germany, now also the Dynamic-Eurotour makes history. Once again new records were broken and superlatives were reached in Malaga where the field was completely full and had a long waiting list. Good for the ones, who signed in on time and did not need to hope for a late cancellation place. Niels Feijen Starting at Thursday morning at the beautiful hotel & Casino Torrequebrada on the Costa del Sol the “Hall of Fame” of the modern times started. The reigning world champions Ralf Souquet, Niels Feijen, Daryl Peach and Darren Appleton again had a rendezvous in order to play with more than 250 participants from 36 nations for 44.000 euro prize money. The EPBF Eurotour, which is considered as the hardest tournament series of the world, found its worthy winner in Spain. The Dutchman Niels Feijen, who was able to assure the WC-title in Straight Pool in August in New York, showed world class achievements from the beginning and could also hold this all the way to the end. Only in the preliminary round Feijen failed: he lost to a strong Sandor Tot with 4:9, however this did not distract him during the remainder of the tournament and without much trouble he reached the last 32. In the Single elimination stages he eliminated Mateusz Sniegocki (9: 7), Nick van den Berg (9: 7), Daryl Peach (9: 8) and Tony Drago (9: 4) with partially embattled matches in order to meet the impressive Swede, Marcus Chamat in the final.

    It’s World Pool time again page 1 of 3 Column for Philippine Daily Inquirer PDI 07-17, 11-01-07 [for publication on 11-03-2007] It’s World Pool time again Mahar Mangahas It’s time to go for pool glory again, as 128 of the finest players on the planet clash in the 2007 Philippines World Pool Championship (WPC) at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, from today, November 3, up to Sunday, November 11th. There will be several hours of live telecasts every day, simultaneously on ABS-CBN (Studio 23 at first, and possibly also Channel 2 later) for matches of more interest to locals, and on ESPN for matches aimed at global viewers. The WPC is the flagship event of the World Pool-Billiards Association (WPA), the international governing body for pool. First staged in 1990, it is now the most prestigious pool tournament in the world, with a prize of US$100,000 to the champion. Under a long-term agreement with WPA, since 1999 the WPC tournament has been managed by the British company Matchroom Sport. In 2006, the WPC came for the first time to the Philippines, which Matchroom calls “the spiritual home of pool.” The host-country stager is again Raya Sports, in partnership with the Billiards and Snooker Congress of the Philippines (BSCP). The three great pool powers in the world today are the Philippines, Taiwan, and the United States – in that order, in my opinion as a relatively ancient aficionado, salted no doubt by a pinch of national pride.

    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.
