At the Dynamic Billard Austrian Open 2016 in St. Johann i.Pg., Austria, Markus Juva (FIN) trounced former World 9-ball Champion Oliver Ortmann (GER) 9:3 in the loser’s qualification round.
Ortmann, who had been sent to the loser’s side by a narrow 8:9 defeat against Eklent Kaci (ALB) earlier today, made his way through to the loser’s qualification round with victories over Milan Mrva (SLK) 9:7 and Marco Spitzky (GER) 9:7. There he met Juva who just lost his last match with Sebastian Staab (GER) 7:9. On paper, Ortmann was the clearly favored player. But sometimes the paper does not tell the truth. Juva quickly got speed and after 2:2, he managed to win five racks in a row which put him up 7:2 over Ortmann. He then took a time-out and when he came back, Ortmann took the next rack. But that was it for the German. Java won two more racks in a row and defeated Ortmann 9:3. This booked Juva a seat in the round of the last 32 players single elimination.
More famous casualties involve among others Tony Drago (MLT). The „Tornado“ lost 4:9 to Alexander Kazakis (GRE). Andreas Madsen (DEN) ended Abdullah Al-Youssef’s (KUW) hopes for a seat among the top 32 players. He subdued him 9:5. Jayson Shaw (SCO) is still alive in the event. He ousted Nick van den Berg (NED) with 9:5. Russian youngster Maksim Dudanets (RUS) joins Madsen with a 9:6 victory over local hero Mario He (AUT).
