In the final, the Polish Team had to deal with the team from Hungary. Bence Varga (HUN), European Straight Pool Champion, defeated Konrad Piekarski (POL) with 100:40 in straight pool. To even that, Wojciech Szewczyk (POL), European 9-ball Champion, crushed Gergely Papp (HUN) in 8-Ball with 7:4. The 9-ball match had to decide. Here, Marek Kudlik (POL) remained victorious over Oliver Szolnoki (HUN) with 8:6. This made the final score 2:1 in favour of Team Poland.
In the juniors division, Team Germany had a surprisingly clear victory over favourite Team Russia. Tobias Bongers (GER) won his 8-ball over Andrey Seroshtan (RUS) with 6:4. While Joshua Filler (GER) was still fighting in his straight pool match over Vitaly Pavlukhin (RUS), Nino Andreuzzi (GER) won the 9-ball match over David Maslov (RUS) with 7:3. What a surprise! Filler also won the straight pool to make the score 3:0 for the Germans.
