Two Players Remain Undefeated at IPT Billiards Tournament

Two Players Remain Undefeated at IPT Billiards TournamentAmazingly, two of the three undefeated billiard players still remain unscathed through the second round. Karl Boyes of England whipped Dennis Orcollo, who took third-place at the North American Open last July, 8-1, notching an astonishing six break and run-outs. Francisco Bustamante’s second match was closer but still a victory, as he won 8-6 over Danny Harriman.“The first match was a bit scrappy,” Boyes recalled. “I was playing a friend of mine, I missed a ball at seven-five up and finished to win the match eight-seven. There was a lot of pressure, but that took the edge off the day, really. Then I just broke very well in my last match. Still undefeated—it feels good, good for your confidence, but there are so many so good players here I can’t see it lasting.”IPT World Open 8-Ball Championship ForumsVisit the IPT World Open 8-Ball Championship Image GalleryCorey Deuel whitewashed Italian champion Fabio Petroni in the second round, with Deuel matching Boyes by breaking and running out six racks.
Spain’s David Alcaide, who earned his IPT card at the qualification event in Veert, The Netherlands, last March, has won both matches so far today, going 8-5 over Mick Hill and 8-3 over Darren Appleton. Hill had been undefeated until this round.“I’m playing very good … stable, no extremely good or bad games, just right in there,” an excited Alcaide said through an interpreter. “I’ve already run into two players in the group that I thought would be in the finals, and I was able to win, so I am very happy about that, although there are still more games to go.”Regarding the format, he commented, “I prefer the long format and like it very much. You do have to be prepared, and in my case, I play soccer.”Quick LinksPlayer StatsPrize Money Breakdown Round 4 GROUP 76D. AlcaideM. HillD. AppletonN. FeijenJ. KirkwoodQ. HannGROUP 77R. AlcanoL.
