The draw for the inaugural Power Snooker event has pitched Ronnie O'Sullivan against teenage sensation Luca Brecel.
Belgian champion Brecel (pictured), who is just 15 years old, will go head to head with his hero O'Sullivan.
Brecel said: "I was delighted to be one of the eight players to get into Power Snooker, and to go head to head with Ronnie is fantastic. This is not traditional snooker, this is a real shoot out and I think I can beat Ronnie."
O'Sullivan has had a lot of input into the Power Snooker game and feels it plays to his strengths. He said: "I was hoping to get one of the more well-known lads as I don't think Power Snooker will suit them. Luca is a real wildcard and I think he will be waiting to put me on my backside!"
The rest of the draw will make for great viewing when it's broadcast live on ITV4 on 30th October. China's finest, Ding Junhui, will take on the wildcard Jimmy White, Pokerstars.com Masters Champion Mark Selby is to play Ali Carter and there's a real champions shoot out with current Betfred.com World Champion Neil Robertson drawing former Crucible king Shaun Murphy.
Organisers of Power Snooker are hoping for a big TV audience to match the crowd at the Indigo2.
Rod Gunner, chairman of Power Snooker, said: "We have over 25 countries taking Power Snooker TV coverage, including Europe, Middle East, Far East and China, Latin America and Australasia, plus a big radio audience with Talksport, and a live audience of 2,000."
With spectacular theatrical lighting, the hottest music tracks and the Power Snooker players kitted out in designer outfits, accompanied by the stunning "Power Girls" and the fabulous female referees, Power Snooker will bring a fantastic new look to the sport.
The players will also be mic’d up throughout the event and the audience will be encouraged to interact with them, all adding to the overall atmosphere and glamour of the event.
