Swedish 10-Ball - Chawki and Ouschan take the trophies in Stockholm
A home team win was celebrated in the men's event as Sweden's Jim Chawki trounced Russia's Ruslan Chinakhov 9-4 in the final in Stockholm this weekend. Chawki also despatched last year's champion, Mark Gray in the semi-final with an equally strong 9-6 scoreline, whilst Chinakhov's semi-final victory came at the expense of another Swede, Christian Fischer, to earn his chance in the final.
In the women's event Jasmin Ouschan took top honours, going throughout the tournament without loss and edging Poland's Oliwia Czuprynska 8-6. Caroline Roos was Sweden's top female player, fighting back from the one-loss side of the draw, and only finally stopped by Czuprynska in the semi-final.
Always touted to be one of the largest independent European tournaments of the year, the Swedish 10-Ball Open really does offer fantastic value for money to players making the trip to Stockholm. No other tournament in Europe this year can offer the same potential return on investment with a handsome total prize fund of €20,000 (€4,000 to the winner) and just 96 entrants in the men's event. - do the maths and you'll see what I mean.
The field features a breadth of talent from all over Europe - Britain is ably represented by the defending champion Mark Gray and 2012 semi-finalist Daryl Peach, the Netherlands have Niels Feijen and Ivo Aarts in attendance, and as you would expect, the host nation of Sweden is very well represented with local hot-shots Jim Chawki, Tom Storm, and the ever-present Marcus Chamat among the best known names.
The women's event forms part of the Women's Euro Tour - and both tournaments will have live scoring available at the official website.
Hosted again this year at the fabulously sexy looking "JoLo & Co" - their slogan "Billard Met Guldkant" which translates roughly as "Pool With A Gold Lining" - means that players can expect nothing but the best in equipment and cuisine while pursuing the "Guld".

2013 Longoni Benelux Open - Van den Berg defeats Souquet
For the fifth consecutive year the Longoni Benelux Open was staged at De Loft in Leuven (Belgium). With a guaranteed prize fund of € 10,000 and a coveted Longoni cup, the qualification rounds drew 167 entries. Elite players, such as reigning champion Daryl Peach, Niels Feijen, Ralf Souquet, Tony Drago, Nick van den Berg, Imran Majid and champion of the inaugural edition Andreas Roschkowsky, turned up to exhibit their spectacular showmanship.
After a long fought battle, from 9.00 am until past midnight, the new champion emerged: ‘El Niño’ Nick van den Berg. He defeated none other than ‘The Kaiser’ Ralf Souquet, who made his first appearance at the Longoni Benelux Open. The conditions were tough, tight pockets and ironically great weather, which made it tropically hot in the venue.
El Niño was still quite fresh, though, as he asked for the time, prior to the semi final. “It’s 11 o’clock”. Upon which he reacted flabbergasted: “Nooo… I thought it was only 8 o’clock”. Nick reached the final undefeated, ousting German upcoming young talent Can Salim, Dutch outsider Fauzi Halaby, Ralf Souquet to reach the quarter final and Imran Majid for the hot seat.

THE WPBL BROADCASTS ALL MATCHES FREE JULY 4TH WEEKEND
Reported By: Steve Strain
The World Professional Billiard League’s sixth week of match play begins Friday July 5th as the league took Independence Day off. In honor of the holiday, the WPBL will offer all of their matches free this weekend and can be viewed at www.WPBLtv.com. Six teams will compete at the WPBL Arena in Las Vegas, NV, including five teams from the South Division and one from the North Division.
The WPBL starts off the 4th of July weekend with a bang (pardon the pun), as the hottest team in the league gets back into action Friday after a couple weeks off. The Phoenix Fire who are currently 1st in the league, have won four straight matches since falling in the season opener, and have averaged 13 points per match during that span. Friday, the Fire try to stay hot when they face the Toronto Blue Sharks who are the only team from the North Division competing this weekend.

WPBL WEEK #5 MATCH RECAP
Reported By: Steve Strain
Seven teams competed this weekend during the World Professional Billiard League’s fifth week of match play at the WPBL Arena in Las Vegas, NV. At weeks end, the Minnesota Outlaws are the only WPBL team to have won every match this season.
Minnesota scored a season high 13 match points in their win against the Philadelphia Aces. Raising their points-per-match average to 10 and improving their match record to 5-0 after Sunday's match, the Outlaws are now atop the North Division just ahead of the Toronto Blue Sharks.
The doubles duo of Thorsten Hohmann and Ralf Souquet blew open the Sunday match with a 30-0 shutout of Brandon Shuff and Stevie Moore to take a 7-1 match lead. The lead swelled to 9-1 after Hohmann knocked off Shuff in singles 30-6. The win over Philadelphia came two days after Minnesota defeated the Las Vegas Dice 9-5, with Hohmann's 30-1 singles win over John Schmidt helping claim the victory.

Wildman Ends His Tournament Winning Drought At T9B The Switch Event
Total9ball yesterday held a small last minute event at High Wycombe Hurricane Room. The competition was run using the 2x format with each player being drawn in both halves of the draw, one side was 9ball and the other 10ball. Unfortunately being a last minute event there were only 10 entries, however it was still to be an action packed event with loads of competitive pool for the players who attended.
The Switch tournament kicked off with two prelim matches in both sides of the draw. Phil Wildman kicked off with a match against Richard Fullwell. Richard is one of the local talents based at the Hurricane Room in High Wycombe, Richard started the match on +1 handicap to 7 while Phil began on -3. The first 6 racks were shared therefore by the time Phil reached 0 Richard was only 3 racks away from the win. Wildman's break was working really well and this played a major part in the comeback, Wildman ran out a 7v5 winner and advanced to the final 8 of the 9ball side. Mark Parker's day began with a solid 7v4 victory over Lionel Brown. Mark really is playing some great pool at the moment and is becoming harder and harder to beat with each confidence boosting result he gains.

WPBL WEEK #5 MATCH-UP PREVIEW
Reported By: Steve Strain
The World Professional Billiard League’s fifth week of action will feature four teams from the North Division and three teams from the South Division. All matches are played at the WPBL Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The week’s first match, Thursday June 27th, can be seen live for free at www.wpbltv.com.
Thursday features a re-match of the Chicago Rockets facing off against division rivals the Pittsburgh Poison. The Rockets only winning match this season came last Sunday against the Poison 11-7 based largely off of their individual games. Chicago needs to play strong in order to move up past Pittsburgh in their division. The Poison are 1.4 average match points ahead of the Rockets in the North. Neither team has a player amongst the top ten; while the highest ranked player on either team is Adam Smith, who is in 15th.
Daryl Peach, the 2007 WPA World Nine Ball Champion will see his first action in the WPBL as he substitutes for Poison member Sylver Ochoa. Pittsburgh will play two matches this weekend, then not have another for nearly a month. The Poison have played more matches than any other team this season (7), and will follow Thursday’s match with another against the Miami Cruise on Saturday. The team does not compete again until July 28th.
Friday’s match will showcase the Minnesota Outlaws taking on the Las Vegas Dice. The Outlaws who are tied with the New York Pride for fourth, sit slightly in front of the Dice who are in sixth in the overall standings. Minnesota has won all three matches this season, although are tied for second place with New York in the North Division. The Las Vegas members have recorded a perfect game this season in team play; however, the Outlaws Hohmann is the highest ranked individual player on either team in 10th place with a player rating of 54.0.

Diamond Southern Classic 9-Ball Championship
Lee Van's the man! Lee Van Corteza that is. Even he was surprised. "I have to beat Orcollo twice," he had questioned earlier? Dennis Orcollo is known for his no nonsense approach at the table. You don't often see him smile, or show any emotion…until he wins.
All the way through the brackets of the Diamond Southern Classic 9-Ball division Dennis had won. So, going into the finals he still had 2 lives, Corteza, only one. He had a loss and, therefore, to win the title, he had to beat Dennis twice.
Orcollo is regarded by some to be the toughest out there right now. Whether it's tournament tough or, for cold hard cash, he is a hard man to beat - especially, twice.
Lee Van had played extremely well all event long and was getting stronger. He'd just put a 7 pack on young Phil Burford in the semis. In a race to 9, that's hard for Phil to fade. He had sat in the "electric chair" as Accu-Stats' commentator Danny DiLiberto likes to call it. Nothing you can do from there but watch. And wait. And, if the opportunity comes, you'd better be ready.
Phil was. In the 8th rack, Corteza rattled a 2-Ball. It sat in the jaws of the pocket. Phil pried himself out of his seat, potted it, and calmly ran the rest of the rack. He made the 1 on the break but got no shot on the 2. He attempted a jump shot and, that was all she wrote. Van ran out, 9-1.
The rub was, Burford had just beaten another Filipino who'll match up with anyone; Carlo Biado. Carlo, earlier in the event, had harnessed a spectacular 7 pack…and out. His opponent, Nikos Economopoulos, got only one game.
Phil showed that heart as he reversed a 1-5 deficit to steal the set from Biado 9-8. Biado got fourth.
Phil settled for third. Add that to his 3rd in the 10-Ball and, all-in-all, he had fared pretty well in the deep South. His sponsor, OB Cues would be happy.
