The finals pitted good friends and many times opponents o­n the table Mika Immonen and Charlie Williams. The match started with some great shotmaking and some big safety played games.  Great kicks, banks, jumps, and super thin cut shots were not surprising to see from two of the most offensive players in the game today. Immonen had defeated Williams many times this past 12 months since the Mosconi Cup and through the World Championships. It seemed it was Williams turn this time as Williams ended the Iceman's run with some powerful breaks and excellent shotmaking. Final score Williams 11 and Immonen 6. 

This was the 2nd event in a row Williams has won in Korea and also the 2nd time he has won an event he produced and promoted(the first o­ne was also in Korea) . On the womens side, it seemed that undefeated and untested players Ga Young Kim and Yuan Chun Lin were o­n a collision course for the finals. This would not be as both players were upsetted by o­ne loss side opponents Yun Mi Lim and Miyuki Sakai.  Lim defeated her fellow Korean compatriot in a 9-8 thriller filled with dramatic kicks and safety play. Sakai came with some amazing shotmaking to defeat the stunned Taiwanese star Lin 9-7.  In the finals, it was Japan vs Korea in a big country to country rivalry. Both players were obviously very nervous by the situation as this was the biggest match of their careers thus far. The match was riddled with mistakes and unforced errors by both players beginning to end. Neither player was able to break and run a rack nor capitalize o­n each others errors. But Korea's Lim edged out eventually to a 8-6 lead and needed o­ne game for the win. Unfortunately for her and the Korean fans, she could not finish Sakai off as Sakai took advantage of the chances and made an exciting out for  the 9-8 win.  The Brunswick Korea Professional Pool Tour produced by Dragon Promotions will continue in the fall.
