Vietnam's Tony Truong trounces China's Liang Zi Yue 6-4, captures 4th All-Asian 8-Ball crown

Tony Truong of Vietnam is the new All Asian 8 Ball Champion

Billiard rookie Tony Truong of Vietnam proved to be the biggest heartbreaker as he trounced China’s Liang Zi Yue 6-4 in yesterday’s 4th All-Asian 8 Ball Tournament at the Centre Carougeois de Billard. Truong played an almost flawless game of precise pocketing, perfect positioning of the cue ball and spectacular safeties that put him in the lead 4-1 in the early racks. Despite the big lead, Liang tried desperately to rally from behind and moved closer to 5-4. However, Liang blew a chance to tie the score as he missed on the 4 ball. Truong took advantage of this and ran out the table to secure his victory.

In the battle for the 3rd place, Thai cue master Manat Dornkan demolished his compatriot Ken Nanakorn 6-3. Dornkan proved to be in a better form as he outplayed Nanakorn in almost every rack in this one-sided contest.

The Philippine Billiard Club-Geneva, the main organizer of the All-Asian Billiard Tours would again like to thank the players, supporters, fans, and the Centre Carougeois de Billard for their continued support. Maraming Salamat at Mabuhay kayong lahat!!!
