Ken Nanakorn beats Russel Alata 7-4, defends Asian 8-Ball crown



It was another day of surprises as Thailand's Ken Nanakorn subdued newcomer Russel Alata 7-4 at the 11th Asian 8-Ball Tournament at the Carouge Centre de Billard.

The surprise of the tournament was Russel Alata, dubbed as “the new kid in town” who swiftly moved pass the other veterans of the league and landed in the finals. He also put up quite a fight in the finals with Nanakorn but in the end, the more experienced veteran from Bangkok was clearly the winner.

In the battle for the 3rd place, Vietnam's Tony Truong upset Val Arceo 5-4. Arceo led quickly in the early racks but Truong, the stubborn cue player from Hanoi did not give up easily and surprised everyone by coming back from behind and winning.

The Philippine Billiard Club-Geneva thanks everyone for this successful tournament.
