BILLIARDS specialist Roxton Chapman (right) has taken the CIA by storm over the opening three days with a seamless switch to 9-ball.The 30 year-old Englishman from Peterborough has won all of his first five group matches to ease in to the knock-out stages of the 2003 empirepoker.com World Pool Championship and guarantee himself a minimum pay-cheque of US $1500.Yet on Saturday morning, Chapman wasn’t even in the draw as he twice lost in qualifying finals and was forced to hold his breath and rely on a no-show from one of the 128-man field.American Jeremy Jones obliged by withdrawing at the last moment, and Chapman has not looked back as he disposed of Canadian champion John Horsfall, Alexander Markut (Austria), Filipino Ronnie Alcano, top Pole Radoslaw Babica and Janne Kaipainen of Finland.The former UK Billiards champion, now a Senior Aircraftsman in the RAF will face the legendary Efren Reyes live in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Tuesday evening with the pressure off, and he admits his week could not have gone much better so far.
