World Pool Masters-vbookie, predictons, etc.

[sniper]

The world pool masters kicks off this weekend with an impressive field. The format will once again be single elimination race to eight winner breaks. The matchups are as follows:

Thomas Engert vs Sander Tot

Steve Davis vs Wu Chia-Ching

Marlon Manalo vs Roman Hybler

Niels Feijen vs Raj Hundal

Rodney Morris vs Satoshi Kawabata

Alex Lely vs Mika Immonen

Thorsen Hohmann vs Marcus Chamat

Tony Drago vs Alex Pagulayan


Mike, do you think we could set up some v-bookie for this? I'm having some serious withdrawals. Any predictions? What do you think of the format? How about the exclusion of Efren? More info can be found at:

Efren, Archer, Strickland, Bustamente, Chao...

There are alot of names I would expect to see in that tournament and alot of names I see that I think could have easily been replaced by any of the above.

Yeah, I would've liked to see Efren in there because it's the only event that's been around a while that he's yet to win.

I wished they would make the races longer, race to eight is just too short for winner breaks. All of these players are capable of throwing together an eight-pack.

I think Efren already won the WPM back in 2000 or 2001. I'm not sure what year but im positive that he already won one WPM title

Thats it Ralf Souquet shouldnt be allowed to play anymore. He's dominated it too many times
