Wolkowski Hits the Jackpot in Las Vegas Submitted on: 05/11/2008 at 00:00:00 Courtesy Matchroom Sport
POLAND'S Bogdan Wolkowski put on a polished performance at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to reclaim the World Pool Trickshot Masters title he last won in 2004.
The Polish maestro was a winner of this event in 1998 and four years ago and he made it a hat trick of wins as he narrowly won through by five points from Italy's Stefano Pelinga.
Armed with his usual array of props, Wolkowski had a night to remember as a succession of elaborate tricks paid dividends with the distinguished panel of judges.
Two-time previous winner Alex Pagulayan opened the proceedings with a knockabout routine but too many of his efforts failed to come off.
Ralf Souquet's meticulous routine kept the crowd entertained and he was followed by World 9 Ball Champion Daryl Peach whose dry humour was the backbone of his 15 minutes.
The second half of the show was given over to the professionals and both Pelinga and Wolkowski delivered the goods with the Pole edging it.
"I'm delighted to have won this again," said a jubilant Wolkowski. |

Earl Strickland Rebounds from 5 Down Submitted on: 11/04/2007 at 00:00:00 Click here to watch the SKY SPORTS presentation of the World Pool Championships LIVE VIDEO coverage
EARL Strickland put on a dazzling display of pool as he won nine racks back-to-back to salvage his 2007 World Pool Championship hopes at the expense of China's Li He-wen.
Strickland had earlier rolled over against Malaysia's Alan Tan, 9-2, in his opening game but followed that up with a lackluster 9-6 win over Germany's Kay Reike.
With the two wins to qualify and two defeats to leave the competition, Strickland, a three time winner of this event, faced Li He-wen, the studious looking Chinese who won a bronze medal at last year's tournament.
At 5-0 down in the race to nine match, 'the Pearl' looked dead and buried as he battled with his demons on the main TV table.
He hit a gear though and returned to the imperious form that has seen him win countless titles in an illustrious career. |
