World Pool Championships - Updates

Yes. It's over. I said 12-7 Bustas break. What else is next but win.

 

[JAM]

In the words of Marvin Gaye, what's going in? Is it over or not?

The last 9 ball WPC was held by Matchroom in 2007 not 2009.

Oops. I should have said 2008, rather than 2009. Either way, I'm sure they'll get the point.

Anyway, congrats to django!

Busta should be jailed. He massacred everybody, No mercy.

 

[JAM]

One thing for sure, with Bustie in the house, there were no bird breaks this year. LOL! :wink:

Yes... sure I'd like myself writing to the promoter but my english is to baaad
So, thanks Nathan!

He had a nice lead on Strickland too as i remember.


PS- I have just written the QSBF asking them to relinquish or sell the rights to the event next year.

no streaming, no banners or mentions of sponsors, Website always down, no publicity, short races, huge pockets etc.

Email address is on their website.

Be careful what you wish for, maybe it was Qatar or nothing.

...maybe it was Qatar or nothing.

Exactly my thoughts... at least we had a 9 ball WPC this year.

this is sad, no video to see.

Bustie just got better after a close first match with Fabio! With the 11-2 against Ortmann.
9-7, 9-6, 11-2, 11-8, 11-6, 11-5, 11-5, 13-7

Yeah- i was really trying to give them a wake-up call. A little psychology.

Jose told me that he won the first world pool championship ever in Japan. It was not hosted by Matchroom Sports back then, but all the same, Jose Parica claims to have the first championship. Ask him about it if you ever get the chance to chat with him!

That's really cool! I didn't know that JAM, thanks for the info, it's actually very nice to know! :thumbup:
It seems like he's gotten 2nd place in every one of the big tournaments at least twice or better, but it was like he ended up coming out on the short end every time somehow.
For as great a player as he was, and still is, somehow it just never quite seemed fair that he hadn't snapped off on of the big ones ones as far as I knew.
Hopefully, we'll see him and Bustamante both in the hall of fame very soon!

Until then...way to go Bustamante! We're all glad you finally took down the big one!

Good news I saw a TV camera recording the match, so it will surely be shown , when? let's just wait for news!

Found a link to photos of the event. The main arena setting looks cheaply done up. Nothing like previous WPC when it was broadcasted.

What a great find, Poolnoob! :clapping::clapping::clapping:

I love this picture of Fabio Petroni of Italy and Bustie, benched, sweating the action! :grin-square:

 

[Black-Balled]

Did I miss something? I did...

He won on the break? What was the score?
