Maguire Storms to UK title Stephen Maguire is the new Travis Perkins UK champion after a stunning performance against David Gray in York. The 23-year-old Scot defeated world number 14 Gray 10-1 to collect the £70,000 first prize.Gray's consolation was a cheque for £35,000 plus another £31,000 for his maximum 147 break against Mark Selby in his opening match. But the night belonged to Maguire who now has another piece of silverware to go with last season's European Open title.
It was the biggest winning UK final margin since Ronnie O'Sullivan's 10-1 win over Ken Doherty three years ago. The match lasted just under three hours and Maguire required only 20 minutes to turn his 8-1 first session lead into an outstanding victory with breaks of 80 and 122. ..more

Francisco Bustamante Wins the P1-million Hope All-Filipino Billiards Open
FRANCISCO 'Django' Bustamante pounced on a key error by Alex Pagulayan in the 28th frame and hammered out a nerve-wracking come-from-behind 15-13 victory to claim the P1-million Hope All-Filipino Billiards Open title last night at the IBC-13 Studio in Quezon City.
With Bustamante leading, 14-13, Pagulayan's stab at knotting the count evaporated when his shot on the 1-ball bubbled and stopped at the edge of the corner pocket. Bustamante then seized the opportunity and polished off the frame for the victory, which netted him P500,000. Pagulayan, who again lost despite surging ahead early in the match, pocketed P200,000.
