USA win the PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool

Rack 18: Good break from Morris, shot on the 2-ball. The World Cup is in reach for USA.

'This is over' says Wych as van Boening downs the 4-ball. Morris rolls in the 8-ball, they call for an extension, van Boening takes his time, chalks his cue and WINS THE WORLD CUP FOR AMERICA
RESULT: Europe 7-11 USA

Rack 17: Gray now follows his team-mate and breaks from the right-hand side. Both the 1 and 2 balls go down with another past the headstring.

Peach eyes up a 3-9 combination but misses, although it goes safe. America try a kick shot on the 3-ball and leave it on for Gray. He pots it but Peach has no shot on the pink 4.

Peach tries to leave the 4-ball safe but, according to commentator Jim Wych, 'leaves it in the worst place possible'.

Morris and van Boening do the rest and America are on the hill.
Europe 7-10 USA

Rack 16: England need a good break but don't get it. The 1-ball is down but only one more passes the headstring.

An illegal break sees America in action. They don't capitalise and a superb shot from Gray gets rid of the 2-ball with decent position for the 3-ball.

Safety play then Morris get a bad run as a double kiss on the brown seven leaves England three balls from another rack. Peach downs the 9-ball. England now won two in a row and breaking.
Europe 7-9 USA

Rack 15: It is a good break from van Boening. But America run out of position and have to go safe. A jump shot from Peach goes wrong and there is a chance for van Boening on the 5-ball.

It rattles around in the jaws of the pocket but does not drop. Is that the turning point?

England take advantage and Gray downs the 9-ball into the side pocket and England win a rack but still trail by three. 'It's now do or die' Gray tells Peach.
England 6-9 USA

Rack 14: Despite the last break coming from the right-hand side, Gray now breaks on the left but comes up with a dry break. USA are looking very good, making few errors and only two away from the title.
England 5-9 USA

Rack 13: A good break from Peach and England have a shot on the 2-ball.

There are no problems for Peach or Gray and they complete a confidence-building break and run out and win two in a row for the first time in the final.
England 5-8 USA

Rack 12: Morris comes up dry to give England a rare opportunity. But luck is not on their side and they have to play safe. But they force an error as van Boening leaves the 1-ball on.

Peach pots the 1-ball but has no easy shot on the 2-ball. Gray plays a kick shot off the side rail, the 2-ball stays out and a thin cut opportunity is left for Morris. But he misses it before Peach does the same and the chance is gone.

But they are soon back at the table and a successful kick shot on the red three from Gray puts England back in business.

America had won the last four racks but England end that run to keep their hopes alive.
