Pankaj rocks in the end; Peter wins by shortest victory margin so far

Match 1: Geet playing sheerly for his own satisfaction, demonstrated a class of billiards while defeating Ashok Shandilya by highest victory margin in the quarter finals i.e. 1230 points. Continuing the morning session’s form, Geet started making breaks from the 5th visit onwards, followed with three double century breaks to carry his lead beyond Ashok’s reach. Ashok only managed a meager break of 44 before losing by such a huge margin.

Match 2: With a sheer upset in the Indian camp, Dhruv Sitwala failed to manage his handsome lead, which he took since start crafting 109, 306 & 118, and lost to Peter by mere 20 points. Peter was chasing Dhruv throughout the match and finally made it through with a 20 point lead in the end crafting 145 unfinished. He will take on Geet Sethi in Semi Final 1.

Match 3: Frustrated with his own performance throughout the match, Pankaj finally decided to go freely without any aim and smashed the highest break of the day i.e. 709 unfinished and defeated Rupesh Shah by 595 points. Trailing by nearly 170 points in the first two hours of the three hour match, he decided to go with an open mind which really helped him in crafting the second highest break of his career (his highest is 867).

Match 4: Mike opened the match with two massive breaks of 231 and 633 in the 1st and 4th visits to take an excellent lead against Kyaw Oo. Kyaw Oo went on steady thereafter and scored 239, 187 and 109 to narrow the lead but lost by 277 points.
