Former Champions Lead the Way With just one day of qualifying action left to play, it is the former champions who are showing the way at the 2004 Taiwan World Pool Championship in Taipei with 100% records that have seen them into the last 64 in style.Defending champion Thorsten Hohmann, 2001 winner Mika Immonen, ’90, ’91 and 2002 victor Earl Strickland, 1995 titleist Oliver Ortmann and 1993 and 2000 champion Fong Pang Chao all hold perfect six out of six records and will be high up in the seeding when the last 64 draw is made.Joining them at the top of the heap is Taiwanese qualifier Ying-chieh Chen who has cut a swath through Group 13 with six wins.Click here for the latest group and match reports
