WPA World 8 Ball Champion 2011 - Dennis Orcollo - Philippines
Dennis Orcullo on Top of the World
Our final day in Fujairah began with a playoff for third place between Darren Appleton and David Alcaide. Alcaide dominated the match as Appleton only came to the table sparingly. Alcaide won 9-2.
Then it was time for the Championship match between Dennis Orcullo of the Philippines and Niels Feijen of the Netherlands. Orcullo won the lag and broke and ran the first rack. It then became the Orcullo break and run show as he repeated this performance over and over until the score stood at 5-0. Orcullo had to play in local qualifiers to get into the tournament and he was making the most of the opportunity. When he broke the rack in game 6 he scratched in the side pocket and Feijen had his first opportunity.
Feijen polished off that rack to put his first mark on the board at 5-1 down. He then suffered a dry break but left a tough run of balls for Orcullo. Orcullo had to bank the three ball cross corner to get his run begun and then had a very tough lay of the land to navigate. He took his time surveying each shot and did a simply marvelous job of getting through the rack with one tough position after another. But he left himself long on the 8 ball and it rattled in the jaws, returning Feijen to the table.

Players are invited to attend the Bunny International Open
What an absolutely delightful pool tournament poster! I have no idea why this tournament is called the "Bunny" Open - could it be a reference to Easter? I honestly don't know. What I DO know, is that this is a long running tournament in Austria with a legendary friendly atmosphere and fabulous playing conditions at Patrick's Canadian Taverne - it's called "The Bunny International Open" and the prize fund is quite inviting too!

Despite this the tour got off to a great start with some great pool on show as usual at these events. “the Sandman” Roy Kimberley held onto his number 1 spot with victory in the Main Event. Roy had a tough opening encounter with Welshman Phil Hendrickson which went to a deciding rack, Kimberley’s experience told in the end as he won 7-6, he then had a more comfortably dispatched of Shaun Madin 7-2. “the Sandman” seemed to be on a roll then as he beat Tony Southern 7-5 in the semi-final

Qualification Rounds Over in Fujairah.
Some big names have left for the exits in Fujairah. World 9-Ball Champion Francisco Bustamante was ahead of Daryl Peach 6-4 in the race to seven games and lost that match 7-6. He then had to defeat David Alcaide of Spain to stay alive but failed as Alcaide prevailed 7-3 to send Francisco home. Another much-feared Filipino, Jeff De Luna, has also seen his efforts come to naught after he was surprised by Khaled Al Mutairi of Kuwait 7-5 and then lost 7-6 to Takhti Zarekani of Iran 7-6. Anyway, all of them need the replica watches which are used to camping.

In a match that could not have been packed with more drama, Ralf Souquet claims the title of the Dynamic France Open Champion 2011 with a 9-8 victory over Nick van den Berg.
Both players are well known for their top class pool. It is not for nothing that both of them have been teammates at the Mosconi Cup Team Europe, the team that won the title two months ago.
Nick had the better start and managed to get a two game lead over the German. Whatever Ralf tried, Nick had the answer for it. Van den Berg was ahead 4-2 when Souquet accomplished to equal the score to 4-4. Both players played with fewer mistakes than they did in their respective semifinal matches. After that, Nick again sneaked away with two racks leading 6-4. Trying to repeat the story, Ralf got back to 5-6 but then Nick played an epic push out that Ralf handed back. Everybody was wondering what Nick had in mind since there was a long straight shot at the 2-ball with no angle and no chance at all for position for the 3-ball. But the Dutchman proves everybody wrong. He pocketed the 2-ball and played a great safe on the 3-ball, forcing Ralf Souquet to commit a foul. Then Nick ran out, claiming a 7-5 lead over Souquet.
As the match went on, Nick won another rack to get on the hill 8-5 with Souquet to break next. Suddenly the situation changed dramatically and things went against Nick and for Ralf. Souquet broke and had a ball pocketed with a nice layout for him. 8-6.
Then Nick scratched on his next break, leaving Ralf anther nice layout with ball in hand. 8-7. Finally, another break and run from Ralf to tie the score at 8-8! What a drama unfolded.

Hendry Hopes To Guarantee Top 16 Place
The Wyldecrest Park Homes Welsh Open The Newport Centre 1 Kingsway Newport NP20 1UH United Kingdom 01633 656 656 www.worldsnooker.com/welsh
14-20 February 2011
Hendry Hopes To Guarantee Top 16 Place
Snooker legend Stephen Hendry can secure his place in the top 16 - and his presence at the Crucible - with a good run in next week's Wyldecrest Park Homes Welsh Open.
The seven-times World Champion slipped to a precarious 14th place before last week's German Masters, though a 5-2 victory over Judd Trump in the first round in Berlin moved him up to 13th.
The Wyldecrest Park Homes Welsh Open runs from February 14 to 20 at the Newport Centre and it's the last event before the seeding list is updated for the China Open and Betfred.com World Snooker Championship, so players outside the top 16 will have to qualify for those two events.
"I'm trying not to look at the facts and figures," said 42-year-old Hendry, whose last Crucible crown came in 1999. "People who know more about it than I do say it would take a miracle for me to drop out of the top 16. My focus is just on winning matches in Newport, and if I do that I won't have to worry about the rankings.
