The world 9 ball championship has begun this year it is set in taiwan at there world trade centre, there is $350,000 to be won in this competion and $75,000 of that for the winner. who do you think will win it? i think a canadain player called savas has a good oppurtunity he beat takahashi a former world champion 5-0 and you should see the speed he clears the table, say you went out the room to get a drink the rake would be over, England's best chance at winning the tournament could be steve davis while america has loads such as earl strickland, i still say it is to early to see who will win the tournament and be named world champion ( and possibly jump up onto the table like earl strickland did 2 years ago when he won it, i cant remember the name of the guy who won it last year but he is from germany and he beat alex pagalyan).
