U.S. OPEN 14.1 Straight-Pool POCKET BILLIARDS CHAMPIONSHIP


 
Souquet - Chin rematch in men's finals.

Ralf Souquet in the middle of his run.
Ralf Souquet may have figured out something that few other players know. He may have figured out how to beat The Magician Efren Reyes. The key appears to be not letting Efren shoot.

In a surprisingly quick match, Souquet beat Efren 150-39. Efren's 40 ball run of the match, came with him down -1 to 28. After a safety from Efren, Ralf ran 2 balls and safed Efren back. After another safety from Efren, Ralf ended the match with a 120 & out run to set up Ralf's rematch tonight with the only man who has defeated him this week, China's Min-Wai Chin.

Prior to the men's finals, Loree Jon Jones will attempt to avenge her only loss this week against Allison Fisher for the 1st place trophy and $15,000 in prize money.
