WHERE TO WATCH

Van Boening started the hunt for his record-breaking sixth US Open crown against Tate and he was pushed all the way by the fearless youngster. Tate came into the contest with little expectation of what was to come and he led at various moments to put Van Boening on the periphery of the losers side of the draw. At 7-7, Tate was at the table and looked to have a routine run out ahead only to pot the wrong ball giving Van Boening ball in hand. With that, Van Boening got to the hill only to scratch on the break, Tate failed to make it pay as Van Boening came through breaking sweat along the way at 9-7.

Every corner of the Waterfront Center at Harrah’s Resort was packed with big names as fans soaked in the action. Chang Jung-Lin made light work of his day with two wins dropping only four racks along the way whilst the Austrian contingent of Albin Ouschan, Mario He progressed safely to Winners Qualification without a hitch. Johann Chua stepped past Brandon Shuff 9-7 in the morning before dismantling former Mosconi Cup player Nick Ekonomopoulos 9-2 to face a mouthwatering encounter with Ko Pin Yi for a spot in the Last 64.

Itt was the end of the road for Jeff De Luna and Dimitri Jungo. Jungo losing out to Ke Wu.
