Here is a link to a fairly recent match where she beat Jasmin Ouschan in Chinese pool world championship (8 ball match).

While i am not sure this is an official Chinese 8 ball tournament as such, the pockets definitely look tighter than a regular diamond Pool table.

Hi Dave,

Here is another video of a fairly recent match with the great Siming Chen, again Margaret really gives her a tough game pushing her all the way.

If you look at how much Margaret has improved say to 2 years ago there is a big difference and she has a really solid all round game and great basics.
