Lu Hui-Chan (TPE), the first qualifier, topped his group. He bamboozled
Yang Ching-Shun (9-5)
and Antonio Gabica (9-3) along the way.Japan's Kenichi Uchigaki (2nd Q), also came out on top of his group while
giving up 5 games total to his 2 hapless opponents. He beat Efren Reyes
(9-2)
and Alain Martel (9-3).Ko Pin-Yi (3rd Q-TPE)) made short work of Thorsten Hohmann (9-3)
and Serge Das (9-3) to topped his group too.
Wu Yu-Lun (4th Q-TPE) won over Johnny Archer
, lost to countryman Lee Kun-Fang (8-9) and won his "one and done" match against Murat Ayas
(9-1) to advance.
Alwi from Indonesia (5th Q) lost both his matches against Chang Jun-Lin
(6-9) and Chan Keng-Kwang (5-9) to finish his WPC campaign on a sour note.
Leonardo Andam (6th Q-PHI) sailed thru through the next round with twin
victories against Ralf Souquet (9-5) and Raj Hundal (9-8).
Roberto Gomez (7th Q-PHI) was last seen cruising as he waylaid Niels Feijen
(9-6) and D. Singh Lilly (9-4) and got his ticket to the big dance.
Chang Yau-Mau (8th Q-TPE) bombed out but not before giving SVB all he
could handle in a hill-hill match. Chang was way out in front (7-2) before
SVB caught another gear. Chang lost another double hill match against
Wojciech Trajdos to end his campaign with a whimper.
Dang Jinhu (9th Q-CHN) won his initial match with Kazuo Furuta (9-3) but
lost the next 2, as Nick Van Den Berg brought him back to earth (3-9) and
Chan Keng-Kwang finished him off (4-9).
Chu Hung-Ming (10th Q-TPE) started out with a win against Craig Osborne
(9-8) but lost his next 2. He lost to Luong Chi Dong (6-9) and a hill-hill
do-or-die match with Radoslaw Babica.
Overall, the qualifiers record is a decent 60% (6-4) with most of them
topping their respective groups. That's how tough the Qualifiers are for the
greatest show on earth!

Thanks - really appreciate this to you and SJM too. It makes for more educated viewing.
Let's give some rep here!
Why is SVB not on TV? Its because beyond pool junkies who follow pool happenings in the US, SVB is somewhat of an unknown. Remember the odds on SVB not too long ago 40-1? Earl is on TV because his many World championships and US open titles have earned him this spot and certainly not his attitude. His antics though will undo all this, unfortunately.

Sorry, I hate feel good movies, I prefer the horror/thriller type!
I'm sure SVB will get his chance to show his wares all over the world. I don't
know who does the TV scheduling but they should start checking out some pool websites
for some clues...BPG24 said:LOL...
He looks rediculous doesn't he.....
Earl was a great champion for a long time, but I think now he may need some Prozac...
I bet if he got his mind right, he could play great pool again......
With all due respect to Earl and his fans, having watched Earl in tight matches over the years, I truly think the problem is in the nerves. When the going gets tough and the points are nose-to-nose, Earl literally falls apart. Unfortunately, and whether on-purpose or not, the antics soon follow.
Jay Helfert put it so well in one of this threads - the Taiwanese had the academics and the methodical (almost mechanical) approach and the Filipinos the tenacity of will and fighting spirit. To succeed in very stiff competition, you must have both but if relegated to only have one, I'd take an unwavering will to fight to the very end at any time. That's what makes watching any competitive game worthy full attention.

Question is, is the lack of Shane coverage intentional. I think they are scared of him. Interesting...
Okay, could be that I'm just losing it.

I hear alot of people talking smack about Earl,if you had the oppurtunity to meet him would you bash him or get an autograph?He is a great player still,i mean he is in the final 64,how many of you can say that?,you guys would be lucky enough to be his case b:tch.I think Earl explained it best when he was interviewed before the matches.He said he knows he loses it and that he has had some personal issues along with his eyes and other health problems,the guy is human and has issues like everyone else.I think if he won this event for the 7th time people on here would be jumping on his bandwagon again.
