The Chinese 8-Ball World Championship (also Chinese Pool World Championship ) is a pool tournament that has been held annually since 2015 . It takes place in Yushan in the Chinese province of Jiangxi and is played in the Chinese 8-ball discipline , i.e. 8-ball on a 9-foot snooker table. Current titleholders are Yang Fan and Fu Xiaofang from China. The tournament is one of the most highly endowed pool tournaments. For example, Darren Appleton won in 2015 with 98,000 US dollars, more than three times as much prize money as the 9-ball world champion (30,000 US dollars).
