Kremlin Cup (pool)

The Kremlin Cup (Russian: Кубок Кремля, romanized: Kubok Kremlja) is an annual pool tournament held in the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, Russia which has been held since 2011. Ruslan Chinachov has won the most times, winning the event in both 2014 and 2015. The tournament takes place in parallel to a Russian pyramid event of the same name also held in Moscow. The event was a nine-ball tournament in the inaugural 2011 edition, but changed to ten-ball in 2012. Beginning in 2022, the tournament will return to nine-ball as a ranking even in Matchroom Pool's professional nine-ball series.[1]
