​10 Ball Pool - 2015 Nordic 10 Ball Championships
17th-18th October / Oslo Biljardsenter, Oslo, Norway

​           NORDIC GOLD FOR GERWEN

The Men’s division of the 2015 Nordic 10 Ball Championship consisted of 48 entries from Finland, Sweden and host nation Norway.

The field played in a double elimination format until the Last 32 knockouts. Seeding positions were determined from last years results (won by Swede Marcus Chamat).

It would be another Swedish talent in the form of former World Cup of Pool star Andreas Gerwen who took the top honours.

After surviving a hill-hill clash with fellow countryman Adrian Weiss to qualify, Gerwen was comfortable in all his KO matches by not allowing any opponent more than five racks against him.

He took out Jani Siekkinen (Finland) 9-2, Jim Chawki (Sweden) 9-2, Ronny Oldervik (Norway) 9- 5 and Mats Sterne (Norway) 9-1 to reach the final.

There he upset the odds somewhat by defeating 2012 WCOP and 2015 EuroTour German Open Champion Petri Makkonen of Finland 9-4
