Do not under estimate Kiamco's mean look and determination, it is big in pool, who knows he might be a strong contender.
Who knows what time will be the draw for stage 2?
Tomorrow the big show starts.

Orcollo in 2011 world 8-ball. he had to play through the qualifiers' stage. he won the title. Jeff Ignacio also went through this year's China Open qualifying rounds. Reached the finals but didnt win though.

So confirmed that Kiamco and Faroan will join the 12 qualifiers in main draw. Wonder who is other who withdraw aside from Oscar D. Did Oscar D and him withdraw because they had cold feet ?

Woman Crying
Did anyone else catch the uncontrollable crying from a woman that was caught on mic just after Gallego (PHI) defeated Akagariyama (JAP) last match on table 11 yesterday?
It was a great match that went to the wire and so it had to be either tears of joy for the winner or she was distraught over her player not winning that one. My sense is that it was most likely the latter.
Regarding Kiamco; I am seeing him miss some easy shots like his focus isn't there but whatever it is that's missing, if he can find it he def does have the firepower to go deep. When he's on, I love his game.
As so many others have already said, this Kazoom stream is terrific. :thumbup:

Chua lost to Hideaki in day 1 and Naoyuki in day 3, not same player but same score 1-7.
to be honest, I watched the matches and Chua did make the wrong decisions at times, he went for the kill far too often, and his two-way shots did not quite work out for him. on the other hand, the 2 Japanese players were very successful tactically.
Naoyuki is a proven player, he won some big tournaments in Japan and represented Japan in the World Cup of Pool last year. he is very humorous and positive in his approach.
From Facebook:
Here is a list of the players who qualified for the big dance by winning their 32-man tournaments in Stage 1 here in Doha. There were 12 separate tournaments, race to 7, alternate break, single elimination. Brutally difficult with amazing talent from all over the world.

Francisco Felicilda(PHL) *Based in Qatar

Dennis Grabe(EST)
Tohru Kuribayashi(JPN)

Man it is a coin toss who is going to win it, but for some reason or another, i feel SVB been out of country for at least a month or so, he probably gotten used to it by now, and will do some damage this time, i hope, i do fear Chang Jung Lin , KO, Dennis Orcollo, Biado, and not to forget Mika! sorry Efren! your train has passed..
I stand corrected. so it was hideaki first and then naoyuki who beat chua. and both matches scored 7-1. i also noticed chua's overconfidence as you mentioned.
did some research on naoyuki and he actually fought Darren in the semis when Darren won his WPC. Like shane, he also reached top-32 of last year's tournament.
Naoyuki always seems to be having fun on the table. Like his goofy outlook. Was his match yesterday, he was free stroking . on his qualifying day he beat his opponent either 7 to 1 or 7 to 2 . Fun player to watch play.

Strange indeed. Either play actually did start today and what has been publicized about the group stages starting on Saturday is all wrong, or Jerry Forsyth should be called Jerry Foresight.
Below is the text of the article in case it suddenly vanishes...
Big Lumber Hitting the Ground at World 9-Ball
Jerry Forsyth
Jun. 20, 2014
The group stages are almost over at the World 9-Ball Championships and, as usual, there have been some surprising results. Shane Van Boening is out of the field after losing to Matthew Edwards of New Zealand 9-7 and then falling to Jundel Mazon of the Philippines 9-5. Shane was in the same group as Chris Melling and Melling did not complete the trip either. Melling lost in the first match to Jundel Mazon and then fell 9-6 to Malaj Nikolaos.
Niels Feijen is also out of the field as he lost to Aki Heiskanen 9-4 and then got nipped 9-8 by Naoyuki Oi. Two other popular Europeans are also on the way to the airport as neither Mark Gray nor Albin Ouschan could get through the field. They are hardly alone. Also sidelined for the remainder of this event are Dennis Grabe, Hunter Lombardo, and Oliver Ortmann.
There is no play on Friday as it is the Sabbath in Qatar. Play will resume on Saturday and we will bring you the draw for the final rounds as soon as we receive the list.

The article has been taken down. I got up and went to the brackets before I had enough coffee and wrote a story off of last year's brackets. Did not realize it till the third cup opened my eyes.
Sorry bout that!
