Last night JWM champion Matthew Bolton geared up correctly in today morning's World Championship 150Up match. He had good breaks of 71, 101, and 58 points in all three games to register straight win over Steve Brookshaw of England. Ofcourse there was good scoring by Steve and he made break of 62 in third game as well but Matthew was more consistent in breaks to win the first league stage match of 150Up.

After completion of 150-Up format group stage of 2013 World Billiards Championship, David Causier from England gained the top-seed slot in Last 32. Total 6 players who won their matches with losing a single game are David Causier, Geet Sethi, B. Bhaskar, Rob Hall, Rupesh Shah and Alok Kumar but on the basis of better score average, Causier placed on the top. He will now be playing V. Subramanian from India who finishes as 32.
