In the Master's category, Phisit Chandsri retained his title that he won first time in Latvia last year. He had a very tough opponent in today's final and seriously had spent a tough time on the table.
The match went into the decider and could be anyone's game because in the frame before Darren had scored a break of 63 points to get into decider and snatching a match away from him by winning a decider is just like snatching a anything from the jaws of lion. Applaud to Phisit that finally he did so.
Phisit had a good start of match and had pocketed first two frames but Darren was not just a mute spectator. He responded handsomely with four consecutive frames win to gain 4-2 lead. However, Phisit was also not interested in giving away the match and cracked his journey by wining 7th frame scoring 49 points break. He further pocketed next two frames to lead 5-4. As mentioned, 10th frame went to Darren with a magnificent break of 63 points to set decider.
If there would be any loose string from Phisit, Darren for sure would've returned as champion but Phisit stopped him well by posting break of 57 points and won the championship 6-5.
