The Super Billiards Expo returns from April 10-13 for its 31st staging at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, as Jayson Shaw defends his Professional Players Championship title.
Having beaten Pijus Labutis in last year’s final to scoop the $15,000 top prize, Shaw headlines the latest World Nineball Tour ranking event alongside world number one Fedor Gorst, Francisco Sanchez Ruiz and Eklent Kaci.
David Alcaide, Mickey Krause, Sanjin Pehlivanovic, Jonas Souto Comino and Marc Bijsterbosch are also amongst those involved, as are former world champions Niels Feijen, Thorsten Hohmann, Earl Strickland and Ralf Souquet, with the latter two playing one another in the first round.
Indonesia’s Edward Koyongian and Andri Januarta continue their first taste of touring stateside, while Kledio Kaci, Vitaliy Patsura, Lo Ho-Sum, Georgi Georgiev, Jesus Atencio and Francesco Candela have entered.
Skyler Woodward, Billy Thorpe, Tyler Styer and Oscar Dominguez are amongst a strong American contingent, which also includes Shane Wolford, Brandon Shuff, Sam Henderson, Lukas Fracasso-Verner, Shaun Wilkie and Billy Ussery, the latter two being semi-finalists last year.
The tournament will feature 128 players and will be double elimination until the last 16, with matches played over race-to-10 racks throughout, while coverage will be shown via WNT TV for subscribers.
