Advani settles with Bronze in Asian
Snooker 2016
Doha: 22 April
2016
India’s best
bet Pankaj Advani, ended his journey at the Asian Snooker 2016, as he lost
to Thai player Kritsanut Lertsattayathorn 3-5 in the semi finals today.
Though Kritsanut began by winning the first frame but winning the match
was far more difficult task as Advani countered him well throughout the
semi final. During the course, Kritsanut also scored highest break of the
championship 142 in third frame, but Advani replied immediately with
breaks of 94 and 90 in fourth and sixth frame to come at par 3-3.
The seventh frame was crucial for Advani having come back to equalize the
score but he failed to keep up the winning streak and went down 3-4. In
the do or die frame for Pankaj, after many safe shots, a loose safety by
him allowed Kritsanut to score a mini break of 30. But Pankaj came back
with his own mini break scoring 20 but he missed the red pot and once
again began the sfety game. Eventually it was Kritsanut who was the victor
and now meet Mohammed Shehab of UAE in the finals, who knocked out Amir
Sarkhosh 5-1 |
