Never seen him before. Is he that Antony dude in the chart?
I think that is Raymund Faraon seeing from this video which is uploaded, surprisingly, by Raymund Faraon :grin:

I like his demeanor. Cool, calm and collected, doesn't rush his shots but doesn't over think his pattern for his run out...

Thanks. Great matches in the next round include:
Mika Immonen vs Alex Pagulayan
Nick Vandenberg vs Efren Reyes
Wang Can vs Nick Ekonomopolous
Ralf Souquet vs Carlo Biado
I know it's dangerous to look ahead, but the Round of 32 may produce a matchup between two former World 9-ball champions, Appleton vs Hohmann.

7 hours difference from NYC (East Coast), and 10 hours from West Coast, so it could be 8.5 hours from Central Time (Last 64 starts at 11:00 Am - Qatar Time on September 11, 2013).

This field is an absolute killer, consisting of nearly all of the game's superstars. It is an unfortunate reality of our sport that the level of expense has, in recent years, made such occasions all too rare.
It's events like this that sort out the truly elite in the world of pool. I can't even imagine who will pull off the incredible feat of besting this deep, phenomenal field, but can say with certainty that we'll have a great champion a few days down the road.
There are no easy draws here and the players have very little room for error. Of course, that's just as it should be in deciding a world championship, for sustained, uninterrupted excellence is something only a great champion can produce.
We are really in for a treat as the truly elite take on the task of knocking off champion after champion after champion. Bring it on!

So true. I remember when an obscure German came out of the woodwork at the 2003 WPA World Nine Ball Championships. He trailed Bustamante 10-6 and came back to win 11-10 in what I believe were the quarterfinals. He then went on to win the title.
His name was Thorsten Hohmann and he might have looked like a Cinderella back then, but in the perspective of history, we watched the emergence of a giant in our sport. Within three years, he'd won the World 14.1 Championship and the IPT LAS Vegas event and reached the final of the US Open 9-ball.

Thank you Harold!
Jung-Lin Chang has a great chance of winning his 1st World 9 Ball Championship. I'm kinda sorry that he has to play one of my very favorite players, Oliver Ortmann. One of these two will be gone......
Fong Pang Chao is in that group of my all-time favorite players. I think it's "strange" that he gets matched up vs Chia Ching Wu. After the trouble that Wu had with the Taiwanese government, him facing Chao can't be comfortable for either of them.
Pin-Yi Ko is a former World Junior Champ who's been tearing it up in Asia. He's another possible winner.
And we can't count out Darren Appleton.....he's won so much that he may be a favorite to win The Kentucky Derby if he entered that!
It would have been an even stronger field had Strickland and Ching-Shun Yang entered.

Chao and Wu are friends and have played each other many times both in tournaments and in casual pool room gambling games, so I think no discomfort for either.
Both live in China now so see each other quite often.
