I found out from ProSnookerBlog.com (thanks Matt) that there is yet another Invitational event happening in China next week. The Beijing International Challenge features 8 top snooker players, no details have been announced about the format or possible media coverage. But I will try and find out.

Pro Snooker Blog is becoming a very good snooker resource and has been the place I turn to most about interesting snooker news.

Also on the snooker front, the TCC Pro-am returns this Thursday with week 2. Week one went off well and the two second round matches were won by Shaun Murphy and Mark Williams who will now meet in the quarter finals. The highlight of the night on the Cuesport TV front was Michael White’s 104 Break.

The two recorded matches (that went out live) are now available as part of a subscription to Cuesport TV.

Live action continues this Thursday with week 2 on July 2nd.

Dennis Orcullo of the Philippines beat Ralf Souquet to lift the Predator International 10-ball title. The two semi-finals, that also included Orcullo’s countrymen, Kiamco and Pagulayan, along with the final were recorded for later TV distribution.

Unfortunately it will not be available in the UK, as far as I am aware. I have already seen the schedule over in Asia on ESPN Star Sports and assume it will also feature on ESPN in North America.

For more information: http://www.predator10ball.com

The German Open Eurotour event started yesterday with 16 British players involved in the event including Daryl Peach, Darren Appleton, Imran Majid and Karl Boyes. Very possible we could lift yet another title!
