Matchroom Major Event-European Open (8-13 Aug), Fulda, Winner $30K Prizefund $200K

Surprisingly Ko Ping Chung is already out of the tournament. Lost to Georgi Georgiev 5-9.

Aranas is currently trailing Jani Siekkinen 6-7. If DD loses he's also out of the tournament.

 
melling almost pulled off another trickshot runout against mika hill-hill. kicked in two balls, landing safe both times. missed the third kick
 
Maybe this has been noted before, but.... Loser-bracket matches are to 8 (9 on the winners side) except for the "qualification" matches which are to 9.

the second group of 4 is a hornets nest. ko, raga, chang, lechner.. svb has the easiest path to QF, where he may run into sky or mario

That would suck, for SVB to run into Sky at a big tourney like that a second time in a short span...

It looks like the players from the winners side keep their positions while the qualifiers from the losers side are drawn randomly. In theory the top 32 seeds can only match up early if there are upsets. In the round of 64:
Ouschan-Shaw
Filler-Zielinski
 
Just wanted to say I really appreciate the matchroom pool site. Always easy to find the right information with just a few click. And the brackets have all the info you need in a glance.
 
I have yet to watch even one match but the Matchroom site is superb and makes it easy to follow the tournament.

Tomorrow is the day where I have a tough choice. I usually don't watch matches without a shot clock on stream, but I'd hate to miss the knockout stage, so I'll probably opt to suffer through Day 4 on the stream. Thankfully, Day 5 and Day 6 will have the shot clock.

Pro pool is a poor product without a shot clock.

Yes. That has been their secondary seeding methodology for past few events. Before that I think they sort losers qualifiers by performance (racks won loss etc) and top performing losers qualifier play the lowest seed from winners qualification while lowest performer from losers side meets highest seed from winners side.

that happens.. the two greek buddies nick and alex drew each other first match.

the most high octane L64 matches are probably filler vs zielinski and albin vs jayson. would be a crime not to have them on the tv table
Albin and Jayson has toughest draw. They have to consecutively beat 6x800 players to win title (assuming 800s win their matches and don't get upset :LOL:) which would be a record.
 
big ko ran over georgiev 10-1. filler vs zielinski up next on table 1, albin vs shaw after that
next match on table 2 is mario vs gangflot, then shane vs haradinaj
 
Surprising to see some names into the last 32, they've had a great tournament so far but hoping they have a stronger final result: Ralf Souquet, Gary Wilson, Imran Majid.

Really strong showing by the Poles too, but that's not a surprise to me!
 
biggest upset in L64 is gnadeberg beating wu kun lin. gary wilson won over marc bijsterbosch too

styer vs sky next on table 1, after the ongoing trainwreck that is albin vs shaw
