World Summit of Pool Going StrongBy InsidePOOL StaffThings are going well at the World Summit of Pool, held in New York City’s Grand Central Station September 30-October 3. The second day has seen some interesting match-ups, with more to come tonight.Finland’s Mika Immonen, who recently took fifth place at the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships, returned from his home land after celebrating his father’s birthday to meet up with Blane Cel in today’s morning round. Cel, ostentatiously clad in scuba goggles, headphones, and a bright orange whistle, won the lag, broke, and ran out. Immonen returned the favor, and then Cel broke and ran out again in the alternate-break format. However, Immonen was able to pull away after this, and ultimately he won the match 11-3. After his match he said, “It’s an excellent, exceptional venue,” referring to the beautiful Vanderbilt Hall in which the matches are being played. “You don’t get this type of exposure.”
