Boyes out pots Tot

Karl Boyes kicked back from a 6-5 deficit to clinch his place in the final 32 line-up in the World Pool Championships in the Philippines.

Boyes was 5-1 up against Tot but a wrong choice of shot enabled his opponent to get back in and he ended up 6-5 down.

The 25 year old laughed: "I should have gone 6-1 up - I stunned a ball in instead of rolling it in off two cushions."

He added: "I played really well from 6-5 down, though, I took out some really good finishes!"

Boyes - who beat 2004 runner up Chang Pei-wei 9-6 and Serbia's Goran Mladenovic 9-4 in the group stages - is up against Japan's Kenichi Uchigaki or Korea's Ryu Seung-woo next.

If he wins that he could set up a dream pool date with legend Efren Reyes although he has to beat Europe's number 1 - Russia's Konstantin Stepanov and Jeff De Luna first.

Meanwhile, Blackpool's other representative Daryl Peach now faces the holder - Ronnie Alcano - on the main table later on today.

  • World 9 Ball Pool Championships - promoted by Matchroom - 3-11 November.
