          &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Mick Hill's  decision to turn his back on American Pool to return to his English  roots paid off in Blackpool tonight.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;The Dudley  born star ended a six year wait to double up  his solitary Foster's World 8-Ball  title with an 11-8 victory over  Stoke potter Gareth Potts.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Hill  avenged his defeat in the 2007 showpiece and stopped Potts winning a fourth  world crown.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;He also  becomes the first player in the history of the  sport to win the Foster's World  title and World Masters in the same  year.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Indeed,  Hill remained unbeaten in a total of 14 matches in the two events.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;His back to  back wins at the Imperial Hotel were worth £15,000.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"I  have never been as focussed or as happy at a tournament  as I have been here  this week," said the delighted 30-year-old who,  until recently, spent  six months on the 9-Ball circuit.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"The  saying 'you don't know what you have got until its gone, couldn't be more true  regarding me and 8-Ball pool.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"Who  knows whether I will pick up American Pool again in the future.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"But  for the time being I am going to stick with 8-Ball. &lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"When  I won my first world title I was convinced I would have this purple match and  win four or five world titles.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"And  because I did it once early, people expected me to win more.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"So,  I'm pleased for a number of reasons.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"You  start to wonder whether you can do it when I am under it.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"So,  it's a big thing to prove to yourself you have still got it.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"You  always know Gareth is going to come out playing well in a world final.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"And  in the last couple of finals I've had a stinker.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"That's  not happened so I am going to savour this victory and the World Masters.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"To do  the double is great. If it ever happens again, then fantastic for that person.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"But  it can never be bettered.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"Someone  can win 10 world titles but I have done something that may never be done again.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;"And  this ranks higher than when I won the three tours again."&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;There was  never more than two frames between the duo in one of the highest quality finals  in the history of the event.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;In fact,  probably only Chris Melling's breathtaking victory over Jason Twist in 2003  topped tonight's showpiece.&lt;/p&gt;           Potts  led 2-1 and 5-4 but trailed 8-6. He fought back to 8-8 only for the 'Machine'  to claim the last three frames.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

add a post about what's going on with the latest event and potentially with the World Pool Championship itself but having a look around a few of the major sites it appears that there is a lot of confusion about whether or not the event is actually going to happen or not since last years one has still not happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The WPA site does not have any updates since late December 2008 after having announced that the world pool championships were going to be held in early 2009 however it looks like there is some type of in-fighting between the different pool and billiards associations about the event as well as the players associations jumping in the mix as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd love to hear from anyone who can email me and shed some light on

href="http://www.wpa-pool.com/index.asp?content=localnews&amp;newsid=101"&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt; that a new ranking system for the mens world pool ranking will be launched effective from the start of 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the key things to look at are the how an event qualifies to be part of the ranking;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The criteria adopted for an event to qualify as a ranking tournament is as follows:- a) open to all players who are members of WPA affiliated organisations;&lt;br /&gt;and b) offer minimum added prize money of USD100,000.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summary:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Points are retained by players for 12 months or until the event is held again unless the event is not held in the following year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Five events so far but they're hoping for two more in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Incentives to encourage players to play in all of the events are being finalised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- A player MUST be a member of either the WPA or an associated body to be a part of the rankings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Ian Anderson (WPA President):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;[In many] cases the players do not pay any entry fee, but are being offered good prize money, and to do it without even having to be a member of an organisation is no longer going to be acceptable.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- If you're not a member then you'll need to become one otherwise your points earned so far will be removed and you can't get them back even when you subsequently become a member.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

However, a rare dry break scuppered his chances and Bustamante cleared to the 8 ball before van den Berg, in a sporting gesture, threw his white towel onto the table and embraced his opponent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When I missed that 3 ball I thought I�ve got no more shots in this game. The table was easy breaking and everything was in his control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When it was 9-8 I thought I had no more chance but got lucky when he had no ball on the break&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm very lucky to be in the last 16 but will try my best as I�m playing the small guy next - Alex Pagulayan!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van den Berg put on a brave face at his post match press conference but his pain was apparent. I feel terrible right now. There was nothing I could do and even at 9-7 down I felt I had the best chance," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was not nervous the whole time. In fact was more nervous on Table 7 yesterday but if you want to beat Busti you cannot miss any balls," he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also flying the Filipino flag were young guns Roberto Gomez and Joven Bustamante who both won through against Taiwanese opposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bustamante (no relation) beat former champ Wu Chia-ching 10-8 on the TV table while Gomez pounded former two-time champion Chao Fong-pang 10-2. The lone American left in the competition is Corey Deuel following the demise of a lackluster Shane Van Boening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deuel showed tremendous heart coming from 9-5 down to get the better of three-time Asian Tour winner Chang Jung-ling of Taiwan. His reward is a match-up with another dangerous Chinese Taipei player, Kuo Po-cheng, a runner-up in this event in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;European No.1 Konstantin Stepanov looked impressive in beating local hope Jeff De Luna 10-5. De Luna is a real crowd pleaser but is often too brave on his shot selection and the 24-year-old Muscovite was too composed for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another Eastern European, Vilmos Foldes, put paid to Shane Van Boening's championship aspirations with a 10-8 win on Table 4. Foldes is the 2003 World Junior Champion and will face Lu Hui-chan who eliminated Poland�s Radoslaw Babica from the competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year's runner-up Ralf Souquet also exited stage left as Niels Feijen took him down 10-2. Souquet was suffering from a bad back but Feijen, who was a quarter-finalist in this event in 2001, looks a good outside chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two English players are through to Friday's last 16 shake-up. Daryl Peach eliminated qualifier Lee Kun-fang's, a finalist in this event in 1997, on Table 4 and now faces Germany's Harry Stolka on Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If European form is anything to go by, Peach is ranked No.2 on the EPBF rankings while Stolka is back at No.31.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Manchester's Karl Boyes, playing in his first World Championship, came back from 8-5 down to win against bespectacled Korean Ryu Seung-woo. Boyes, a former top English 8 ball player, can look ahead to a do-or-die struggle against European No.1 Konstantin Stepanov (Russia).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play moves to just two tables on Friday as the races increase to 11.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read about it further &lt;a href="http://www.worldpoolchampionship.com/article_Detail.asp?article_id=40"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7269227940843884657-300627135350805844?l=www.poolworldchamps.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7269227940843884657/posts/default/300627135350805844'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7269227940843884657/posts/default/300627135350805844'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.poolworldchamps.com/2007/11/pool-world-champ-results-latest.html' title='Pool world champ results - latest'/><author><name>Gary</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269227940843884657.post-4859835257429482254</id><published>2007-11-05T17:33:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-05T17:37:39.301-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2007 world pool champs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2007'/><title type='text'>World Pool Championship is underway for 2007!</title><content type='html'>The World Pool Championship in the Philippines is underway and it's already turning into an exciting event.
