Paul Hunter Classic !!
Saturday 24th ~Sunday 25th of August in Stadthalle, Fürth, Germany.
The Paul Hunter Classic has taken on different forms over the years. In 2004 when it was the Grand Prix Fürth it was won by Paul Hunter then the following year it was re named the Furth German Open and in 2007 following the sad death of Paul Hunter it was re named in his honour but it was a pro am and a ffestival of snooker where players and fans alike met up each year. Then in 2010 it became the cornerstone of the PTC series where it stayed for the duration until 2015 where the PTC Series ended.
But it remained as a Full Ranking Tournament for the next 3 years Won by Mark Selby, Michael White and last year Kyren Wilson.
This year it has yet another transformation as a 16 man Invitational event featuring Kyren Wilson as top seed, Barry Hawkins, Ricky Walden and Luca Brecel and 4 wild cards that includes 14 year old Belgium Ben Mertens.
