Estonian pool pair defeats Great Britain to reach quarterfinals
Denis Grabe and Mark Mägi, Estonia's leading pool double, defeated Great Britain in a tight contest at the World Cup of Pool and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Shaw made one ball but his cue ball ended up in the top pocket, which allowed Mark Mägi to make a simple shot en route to a dramatic place in the quarterfinals.
Estonia will next face the Philippines (Jeff De Luna, Roberto Gomez), who staged a dramatic comeback against the U.S. in their second round matchup.
The winner of Estonia - the Philippines will face the winner of Denmark - Germany in the semi-finals. The quarterfinals are set to be played on Thursday.
