There were wins for Finland, Canada and Taiwan as Mika Immonen, Alex Pagulayan and Chang Jung-lin all enjoyed victories. There are two more first round matches to take place this evening in the three day $66,000 event but the final match of the session saw an England v Taiwan clash as Blackpool's Daryl Peach met Chang Jung-lin, the 2012 World 8 Ball Champion and it ended in a close victory for the Taiwanese after he clawed back a big deficit. Peach, a winner of this event in 1995, recovered from a poor start to move into 5-2 lead before Chang took the next two to set up a close finish. The Taiwanese though made an illegal break and although Peach pocketed the lowest ball, he broke down and Chang levelled the score at 5-5. There was a safety exchange in the next before Peach played a superb trickshot as he found the cue ball locked against the 5 on the rail. He jacked the cue up and played a proper masse that pocketed the orange 5 up table, screwed back to pocket the 8 and moved the 9 ball out and away from the rail. He completed the table to take a 6-5 lead and gave himself a chance with his next break. He went through the balls but made a poor error as he scratched, moving the cue ball down table for the 8 and 9. It was to prove a critical mistake as Chang made it 6-6 and he took the next to reach the hill with a clinical break and run. A decent break in the next wrapped it up for the Taiwanese as he completed an 8-6 victory. In the first match of the Saturday afternoon session, Mika Immonen won an entertaining match against Efren Reyes, who proved a hit with the big Barnsley crowd. It was the Finn who got off to a good start as he took the opening two racks but Reyes took the third and fourth. Reyes is a wily old campaigner who is still highly dangerous and he moved into a 4-2 lead, as he shook off any effects of jet lag, and came up with some creative shots which pleased the crowd. Immonen though got to the table in the next and ran out and then did the same in the next to square it up at 4-4. They shared the next two before Reyes dropped two balls on the break but had no available pot on the 1 ball. He pushed out but Immonen put him back in but his safety attempt left the 1 ball on. The Finn cleared to take a 6-5 lead and took the next shortly after. The Filipino got back to the table in the next but again left the 2 ball on as he started to look a little ragged. Immonen though couldn't convert the chance and Reyes took advantage to get within one rack at 7-6. He scratched on the break in the next as the cue ball rolled into the side pocket and Immonen cleared the table for a deserved win. Immonen said afterwards, "He is a legend and I was a little bit nervous at the beginning. You don't want to get into a safety battle with him because he seems to get out of jail every time – it doesn't matter where the cue ball lands, he seems to have a solution. "My strategy was to break and run but I wasn't really breaking well so it turned into a shooting contest a little bit, a back and forth battle. He is a legend and that is always in the back of your mind." win, 9 ball, 9ball, old, pool, billiard, billiards, cue sports (sport), cue, ball, shot, shots, great, break, p, amazing, pocket, luck, lucky, wpa world nine-ball championship, world, trick, magic, world pool masters efren reyes (athlete), shane van boening (person), bilijar, championship, best, hd, snooker, match, masters, world pool masters vs, england (country), efren reyes genipool, united states of america (country), niels feijen (person), pearl, reyes, strickland, efren, stroke, hq, earl, alex pagulayan (athlete), shane van boening, philippines (country), world pool-billiard association (organization), bata, efren reyes (person), portsmouth (city/town/village), world pool championship, mosconi cup, world pool masters, darren appleton (athlete), nine-ball, drago, tony, cup, final, wpc, great britain (geographical feature), mika immonen (athlete), magician, table, efren reyes ball, team, earl strickland vs efren reyes, strickland vs reyes, epic match, earl strickland world pool championship reyes vs strickland quarterfinal, efren reyes vs earl strickland, earl vs efren, efren reyes vs earl strickland mosconi, ralf souquet (athlete), us open -ball championships, -ball, efren reyes, francisco bustamante (athlete)
