Ouschan defeated Germany billiard player Thomas "The Machine" Engert at the World 10-Ball Championships in Manila, Philippines.

Jasmin Ouschan continued her assault on the field at the World 10-Ball Championships in Manila, Philippines with her demolition of Thomas Engert to reach the final 64. Several top names made their exit while others have stepped into the spotlight.

The internationally televised match was knotted at 4-4, when Engert missed a half table length combo on the 1-9. It was all downhill from there. At 5-4, Jasmin faced a long difficult bank shot on the 5 ball. Oucschan fired it in and then made a tough jacke-up 6 ball before completing the rack. Jasmin played flawlessly the last three racks, running out each one in impressive fashion. The final score was 9-4.
