2011 PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool
Schedule and Matches for the big one
GETTING UNDERWAY on Tuesday 6th September, the PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool sees 32 two-player teams representing 31 countries competing for a $250,000 prize-fund and the most prestigious team prize in pool.
Now into its sixth year, the World Cup of Pool takes place at the Block Atrium, SM City North EDSA Mall in Metro Manila, Philippines and Matchroom Sport can announce the first round matches and the draw.
Televised in its entirety and broadcast live by Solar Sports, the defending champions China face European qualifiers Switzerland in their opening match.
Not quite the pushover it may have seemed; Swiss cueist Dimitri Jungo won the German Open on the Eurotour at the weekend and is a former WPA World Junior Champion. He will be partnered by Swiss/Pinoy Ronni Regli who will be bringing an army of friends and family.
Local hopes Philippines B - Efren Reyes and Francisco Bustamante, former two-time winners of this event, - look to have a comfortable first round outing as they face World Cup debutants Kuwait.
Philippines A countrymen Ronnie Alcano and World No.1 Dennis Orcullo have a trickier task as they go in against the Austrian pair of Jasmin Ouschan and young hot shot Mario He.
Elsewhere, the powerful English duo of Darren Appleton, a World Ten Ball winner in Manila in 2008, take on European minnows Estonia, who are making their first World Cup appearance.
There is plenty of scope for shocks over the first three days as the 16 first round matches unfold as some of pool?s lesser lights from around the world get the chance to show what they?re made of on the big stage.
