Allison & Jeanette Pick Favorites to Win JBETpoker.net Women's World 10-Ball Championship
Manila, Philippines- Two of the top favorites of the JBETpoker.net Women's World 10-Ball Championship are giving their top four picks to win the tournament. Jeanette Lee of the USA and Allison Fisher from Great Britain explain why their picks should win the event.
Jeanette Lee, a former World Games Gold Medalist, is of Korean American descent. Lee is likely the most popular player in the world with her charm,beauty, and deadly cue skills. Lee though, has never captured the coveted title of World Champion yet.
Here are Jeanette's top picks and she explains why:
- Kelly Fisher (England)- "She's #1 in the world. Enough said."
- Jeanette Lee (USA)- "Because I'm always a favorite(with a laugh)". If I don't believe in myself, I shouldn't be here."
- Ga Young Kim(Korea)- "She's consistent and always hungry to win."
- Allison Fisher(England)- "She's the most experienced winner here. Bank on her to do well."
Allison Fisher is no stranger to World Championships. Fisher has won 15 World Championships in snooker and pool. Many experts consider her the greatest woman's player ever.

Here are Allison's top picks and she explains why:
- Allison Fisher(England)- "Of course I have to include myself!"
- Yu Ram Cha(Korea)- "I really like her game."
- Yuan Chun Lin(Taiwan) - "She won last year's World 9-Ball, so it's hard not to include her."
- Karen Corr(Ireland) - "She has a solid all around game."
Allison took a long pause to decide her top picks as players such as Kelly Fisher and Jasmin Ouschan were tough considerations as well.
Both Lee and Fisher thus far are undefeated in their groups and look well into advancing at minimum to the top 16 of the tournament. Complete group updates and results can be found at www.womensworld10ball.com
