Germany's Oliver Ortmann has made billiards history, with his victory over World #1 Mika Immonen at the 14.1 Predator World Tournament in Clifton, New Jersey.

This makes Ortmann's third world title, which is a new European world record. Previously, Ortmann (Germany), Mika Immonen (Finland) and Thorsten Hohmann (Germany) held two world champion belts apiece. The only other man to win three World Championships sanctioned by the WPA is Earl Strickland (USA).
