Highlights - Final
The defending champion Mike Russell found himself up
against the current Indian National Billiards and Snooker Champion, 24
years old Pankaj Advani.
By the time Russell made a 72 break with his 10th
visit, Advani was well over 600 points in front. He continued racking up
the points with a string of big breaks, and at the bell ending the first
session was some 650 in the lead, leaving Russell a challenge for
tonight.
Mike Russell recorded a 100 break at his 9th
visit, but it was immediately negated by a series of breaks again from
the Indian. Russell definitely improved on his afternoon scoring, but
Pankaj Advani ran out a worthy winner to add to his World Amateur
titles, along with his Nationals.

Highlights - First Semi Final
The first session was definitely in the favour of the young Indian
player, building up a lead of nearly 200 against the defending champion,
but in the second session, Russell started to flow, and after his 166
and 267 breaks never looked in trouble. Shah could only manage a poor
272 total points in this session, missing really elementary shots. So
Mike Russell is in tomorrows Final, hoping to make it his 10th
World Title.
Highlights - Second Semi Final
Both sessions were extremely close, with Advani taking a slender lead
forward to the second 2 hour session. It was nip and tuck throughout,
and with approx 13 minutes left, the 24 year old Indian National
Champion at both Billiards and Snooker, compiled a 142 break to defeat
his fellow countryman, a much improved Sitwala. Pankaj now has the task
of taking on one of the greatest Billiard players of the modern era in
tomorrows final.
