Asian 6-Red Snooker : Pankaj Advani wins title

India's Pankaj Advani created history in Abu Dhabi by clinching the Asian 6-Red Snooker title. Advani thus became the first in the world to hold both world and continental titles in 6-red snooker at the same time, according to information received.

He defeated top seeded Malaysia's Keen Hoh Moh 7-5. With a lead of 2 frames at 6 Frames to 4 at the end of the tenth frame, the Malaysian narrowed the lead winning the eleventh frame 38-15 before Pankaj won the twelfth frame 53-24 and securing the title 7 frames to 5.

Commenting on his win, an ecstatic Pankaj who won his first title of the year concluded, "It's my first individual Asian snooker championship so the feeling is unreal. Having missed out on the 15-red Asian snooker title last month made this a mission for me to accomplish. Winning it the same year as my World Title in the Six Red sends me over the moon!"
