Thai cue master Ken Nanakorn pulled off a Houdini act to beat Philippines’ Morris Leonor in the end game, 7-6, during the 10th Asian 8 Ball Tournament at the Centre Carougeois de Billard Club last night.
Nanakorn trailed Leonor, 6-2 after Leonor launched a barrage of offensive attacks that put him far ahead and “on the hill” as he needed only one more game to capture the crown. Slowly, Nanakorn took the successive racks one by one until he was able to equalize the score at 6-6. The last rack proved to be a battle of nerves especially for Leonor who missed an easy shot on the 7 ball on the side and was followed by another foul shot as he missed a jump shot that gave Nanakorn “ball on hand” to finish the game.
In the race for 3rd place, Vietnam’s Tony Truong easily trounced Thailand’s Mie “James” Udon 5-2. Troung took control of the table from the beginning and kept a comfortable lead all the way
