Ralf Souquet will begin the defence of his World Pool Masters title against Mosconi Cup team-mate David Alcaide.
   Souquet, who has won the Masters a record five times, faces a tough first round encounter against Spaniard Alcaide in the opening match at the Hotel Zuiderduin, Egmond aan Zee, Holland.
   These two players know each other well as they were part of the near-miss European Mosconi Cup side that played America in Rotterdam last December.
   The Masters, one of the most prestigious events on the pool calendar, will be held from June 8-10 and features 16 top players from around the world, including reigning World Champion Ronnie Alcano (Philippines) and current European Champion, Niels Feijen (Holland).
   Each match will be played in a race-to-eight, alternate break format with a 45-second shot-clock. The prize fund totals $62,000, with the winner pocketing $20,000, while first round losers take home $1,500. The event's major sponsor is PartyPoker.net.
