Reigning
World 14.1 Champion Mika Immonen could become the first consecutive
back-to-back World 14.1 Champion in this millenium. A feat not
accomplished in 34 years since 1982-1983 wins by Steve Mizerak
New York City- Mika Immonen will take the
#1 seed for the event as he headlines Group 1 of the Bottledeck.net 77th
World 14.1. This year four groups of 8 players will play 7 matches each
to qualify for the next stage of the event, the double elimination
rounds and then finally the single elimination round until the World
14.1 Champion is crowned. Immonen has been in 3 World 14.1 finals in 11
tries, so his vast experience will come into play in achieving a feat no
one has managed to do this millenia, win back-to-back.
He will have his hands full as he faces top American 14.1 pro Danny
Harriman of Missouri in his group. And then top contenders such as
California's John Schmidt, Darren Appleton of England, and the king of
14.1 Germany's Thorsten Hohmann, all of which are former World 14.1
winners. New York's Tony Robles, Max Eberle of Las Vegas, and
Philippines sensation Lee Van Corteza are also big threats with Hall of
Famer Danny Barouty and Scotland's Jonni Fulcher not far behind.
