Making his debut World Pool Masters appearance is the popular Italian-based Hungarian Sandor Tot, who takes his position following an incredible run on the Euro Tour this year.

Competing in 200-strong fields containing the very best European pool has to offer, Tot has racked up two victories and a runners-up spot as well as a couple of other top ten finishes.

Wins over Alex Lely in Belgium and Ralf Souquet in Spain cemented is position at the top of the Euro tree and he will be looking to maintain his No.1 spot with one event to go, to make himself an automatic pick for the 2005 Mosconi Cup taking place in Las Vegas in December.

Tot suffered a disappointing World Pool Championship this summer where he failed to escape the group stages but will relish the opportunity to play on the big stage as he challenges the best at the Masters.
