The 2024 Predator Pro Billiard Series gets underway this week as the annual Las Vegas Open takes place from February 21-24 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
The Pro Billiard Series commences with its most prestigious event, with the winner receiving $30,000, and provides ideal preparation for players ahead of the lucrative World 10-Ball Championship.
Wiktor Zielinski will act as the defending champion at the $100,000 tournament, having beaten both Aloysius Yapp and Sanjin Pehlivanovic to win the title in successive years.
Joshua Filler, a winner of two Pro Billiard Series titles last year, headlines the 96-man field, with Fedor Gorst, Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, Shane van Boening and Alexander Kazakis also amongst the participants.
Brothers Ko Ping-Chung and Ko Pin-Yi will make a rare appearance on the Pro Billiard Series, while Eklent Kaci returns and has travelled from Albania alongside his talented younger brother Kledio.
Other notable entrants include Alex Pagulayan, Carlo Biado, Naoyuki Oi, Chang Jung-Lin, Max Lechner and Mario He, while a strong Polish contingent includes Wojciech Szewczyk, Daniel Maciol and Puerto Rico Open champion Konrad Juszczyszyn.
Predator’s Pro Series is known for its unique format as three sets of race-to-four are contested. Should the third set be level at 3-3, a shootout on the ten ball will be used to determine the winner.
Free coverage will be broadcast throughout the duration of the tournament via the Billiard TV website and Pro Billiard TV on YouTube, with the semi-finals and final held on Saturday evening local time.
