___________________________________________

POLAND’S Bogdan Wolkowski put on a polished performance at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to reclaim the World Pool Trickshot Masters title he last won in 2004.

The Polish maestro was a winner of this event in 1998 and four years ago and he made it a hat trick of wins as he narrowly won through by five points from Italy’s Stefano Pelinga.??

Armed with his usual array of props, Wolkowski had a night to remember as a succession of elaborate tricks paid dividends with the distinguished panel of judges.

Two-time previous winner Alex Pagulayan opened the proceedings with a knockabout routine but too many of his efforts failed to come off.

Ralf Souquet’s meticulous routine kept the crowd entertained and he was followed by World 9 Ball Champion Daryl Peach whose dry humour was the backbone of his 15 minutes.
