Dynamic Sarajevo Open down to 32 players
Konstantin Stepanov (RUS) has defeated “Napoleon” Marcus Chamat (SWE) with 9:7 at the main table #24.
Both players have many things in common: They are around for a long time, are experienced and already have some titles under their belt. So it was no surprise that it was a very tight match between the two. As the encounter unfolded, both players took their chances and never allowed the other one to gain an advantage. It was either Stepanov or Chamat leading with one rack, not more. That changed in the 14th rack. Stepanov broke and pocketed the 1-ball.
Other notable results include Ortmann ousting Gray with 9:7 in the 4th loser’s round. Andreas Gerwen (SWE), a regular on the Euro-Tour, eliminated “The Kaiser” Ralf Souquet (GER) with 9:8 in the same round. Karol Skowerski (POL) ended the hopes of 10-ball World Champion Huidji See (NED) with 9:6. Croatian Karlo Dalmatin sent Sandor Tot (SRB) home, winning 9:7 over him. The draw for the final round today will be done after the conclusion of the current round. At 21:00 local time, 32 remaining players will battle in a single elimination format for their survival in the event.
