PANKAJ ADVANI: WORLD BILLIARDS CHAMPION

Indian ace Pankaj Advani denied Mike Russell a tenth world professional billiards title tonight with a 2,030-1,253 victory at the Northern Snooker Centre, Leeds.

Advani, 24, dominated the opening session, winning it 1,070-418.

The concluding session was closer but Advani also shaded it, 960-835, to capture the professional title for the first time.

I wonder how good Pankaj could be if he devoted himself to snooker.

This makes Pankaj the only person in the world to win the Professional Billiards World Title, the IBSF World Billards Title and the IBSF World Snooker Title. Kudos genius!
