The defending Champion in senior’s straight pool, Reiner Wirsbitzki (GER), won the straight pool division at the Dynamic Billard European Championships for Seniors with a 100:54 victory over Vegar Kristiansen (NOR).
The final match was packed with action. The early stage saw both players playing at an equal level. After 30 minutes, the score was 36:35 for Kristiansen. But then Wirsbitzki shifted into overdrive. He was about to run the match at with a very convincing and amazing performance. But when he played his last ball, he scratched with the cue ball, giving another chance to Kristiansen. The Norwegian could not believe what he just saw but he tried to do the best he could in order to get back into the match, trailing 36:98. He ran 18 balls but after that, he left enough balls on the table for Wirsbitzki to make the necessary two points and defend his title.

歐洲花式撞球錦標賽元老組14-1項目的爭奪落下帷幕，衛冕冠軍德國選手Reiner Wirsbitzki以100：54大勝挪威的Vegar Kristiansen再次奪冠。
決賽進程頗有戲劇性。比賽伊始，雙方看起來水平相當，比分很接近。 30分鐘過去，場上比分為36:35，Kristiansen領先。此後，場上風雲突變，Wirsbitzki狀態神勇，似乎掌控了比賽。然而，就在人們以為Wirsbitzki將要一氣呵成地拿下比賽勝利時，他卻犯下了球桿蹭到母球的低級失誤，Kristiansen對此也感到難以置信，場上比分停在了36:98。
Kristiansen竭盡全力想要抓住機會重新進入比賽狀態。但是，他僅僅追回18分便將機會拱手讓給Wirsbitzki。這一次Wirsbitzki沒有再給對手機會，連得兩分，以100-54的比分成功衛冕。
