Oi and Pehlivanović hit top of Premier League Pool table on Day 2 PhilBoxing.com Wed, 08 Mar 2023 Naoyuki Oi and Sanjin Pehlivanović lead the Premier League Pool table after day two of action at the Morningside Arena, Leicester, England with five wins from six including ending defending champion’s Albin Ouschan unbeaten run. Oi took out Jayson Shaw early on before getting the better of Seo Seoa to be in a strong position going into the evening action. The Japanese star then stepped up to end Ouschan’s unbeaten start in an impressive 5-2 showing that left the Austrian frozen for most parts. Pehlivanović meanwhile was made to wait for action until later on firstly coming from 4-1 down to beat Poland’s Konrad Juszczyszyn then wins over Ouschan and Khalid Alghamdi 5-1 and 5-2 respectively to edge Oi out on top by rack difference. Alex Pagulayan kept on the road towards the weekend playoffs with a win over Earl Strickland and Chou Chieh Yu only to see his unbeaten record finished at the hands of Chris Melling who has grown into the tournament. Melling also found a groove in a sensational matchup with Shane Van Boening in one of the highlights of the tournament so far thanks to some supreme safety and kicking in a 5-3 win over the South Dakota Kid. Van Boening delivered against Skyler Woodward in the final action of the day in a battle of the two USA aces 5-3. That result could prove vital for Van Boening who currently sits just inside the top ten whilst Woodward is a point adrift off it in 12th with just two wins from six games. Elsewhere, Juszczyszyn fell from the top of the league after an early win over Melling due to defeats at the hands of Strickland and Pehlivanović. 24 matches and 20 hours of Pool live daily from 11 am UK time tomorrow morning on Matchroom.Live, Viaplay, and networks worldwide.
