Queens, New York-  Finland’s Mika Immonen had a rough day on Day 3 of the Predator World Tournament of 14.1. After he ran 40+ balls, he missed and the game was over. Defending champion Thorsten Hohmann of Germany pounced on the Ice Man with a 141 ball run that ended the match. The 141 is the highest run of the event so far.

Queens, New York-  Excitement is building on Day 2 of the preliminary races to 100 rounds of the Predator World 14.1 as the day culminated into two big highlights for the USA. While Europe still looks strong, and Efren Reyes still goes undefeated, it was the Americans that came with the tournament’s first perfect scores.
