Jim McEwan crowned himself the winner of the
MODUS Super Series on Saturday night. The Scottish darter proved too strong for Mareno Michels in the final.
For the previous twelve weeks, dozens of players competed for a spot in the final week of the MODUS Super Series 4. The twelve weekly winners received invitations to do so and competed this week for the top prize of £20,000.
The six best players from Monday through Friday's pool matches were allowed to compete on Saturday in the final day, which consisted of two groups. In Group A, Andreas Harrysson managed to win both his matches against Sebastian Bialecki (4-3) and Robert Grundy (4-3), while Bialecki finished second after a 4-0 win over Grundy.
Mareno Michels remained unbeaten in the group stage after victories over Darryl Pilgrim (4-1) and Jim McEwan (4-3). Because McEwan did win 4-3 over Pilgrim, the Scot did advance to the semifinals.
In the first semifinal, McEwan eliminated Harrysson (4-2). Michels then became the second finalist by defeating Bialecki 4-0. So in the final, McEwan and Michels faced each other for the second time this evening. McEwan revenged for his earlier defeat and defeated Michels 4-0 to claim the title.
