Nowhere near what? DCC is one of toughest events out there. SVB has eight wins there iirc.Nowhere near.

Not sure what you mean. He's played China and Japan most years .... or are you saying that those events don't count as they are not Matchroom events.He can't win a tournament if he doesn't enter it.
I'm not too familiar with Capito, but Yapp showed fine form at the 2019 US Open, reaching the knockout stage and losing 11-10 to Alex Pagulayan in the round of 16.Sossei faces Capito next. As I said earlier, Capito and Yapp are two who could be outpacing notoriety
Another world champ is out. Niels eliminated by Poland's Tomasz Kaplan.
He's won that one many times. Five times if my memory serves. Not a missing jewel in his crown. Of course, Derby City, an independent event, has fields that are far weaker than what you typically get at the four majors (World Championship, China Open, US Open, All Japan Championship).Derby City?
I was referring to world championships. My bad 100% for very poor communication.Not sure what you mean. He's played China and Japan most years .... or are you saying that those events don't count as they are not Matchroom events.
No it isn't. That one person has 8 wins is a good indicator that there are tougher tournaments.Nowhere near what? DCC is one of toughest events out there. SVB has eight wins there iirc.
Agreed 100/%. Derby City is a tough event to win, but it's not a major title. To my knowledge, Shane has won the Derby City nine ball five times, not eight. He has, of course won the ten ball and the one pocket, but I think the discussion is nine ball.Not it isn't. That one person has 8 wins is a good indicator that there are tougher tournaments.
Yessir, great pride in CT with having 3 of our boys in WPC action, but unfortunately we lost two now with Lukas Fracasse-Verner and Jayson both knocked out. Yes, we'll claim Jayson since he lives here and has his US1 Billiards in West Haven.Good start to the day for Connecticut.
Jeremy Sossei 11 Kelly Fisher 5. For some reason, they have about the same Fargo, but I was expecting a blowout here. No disrespect to Kelly Fisher, an undisputed superstar in our game, but Sossei went double hill with Van Boening in each of their last two encounters: a) at Turning Stone in January 2020, losing 9-8, and b) at the 2019 Steinway 10-ball Classic in which he also lost 9-8. Let's add that Sossei has two different bronze medals at the Derby City 9-ball event, an event typically featuring a field of about 400 players.. I'd rate Sossei, who plays in chiefly regional events these days, a bit above Billy Thorpe as a nine ball player, but a bit below Skyler Woodward and Justin Bergman. Jeremy is not a contender for the title but he's a super-tough out.
Another Connecticut resident named Jayson Shaw will try his luck against Shane later today, so there's a chance it could be a big day for the state.

Jeremy "The Giant Killer" Sossei has advanced to the round of 32 with today's win over Kelly. He is indeed a "tough out" as world champ David Alcaide can now attest following his last round loss to Jeremy.
Shane is looking like the man to beat and Sky's comeback on Fedor was sensational.
best,

Yeah. He like to do those.. I play money games with him when i got chance. He was also 9th or 5th 2019 WC 9ball..What a comeback by Finnish youngster Casper Matikainen. He won after being way behind against Zielinski. I think he was down 5-0.
great memory!AZB old timers should be pleased that Marco Teutscher has advanced. I'm pretty sure he's the husband of former and well-liked AZB poster Cris DeLagarza, who dated SVB back in the day.
