Both Sebastian H'ng and Sam Chong couldn't replicate their form in Leg One where both of them were in the Final.
Playing against former National Billiards player Moh Loon Hong, Sebastian couldn't seem to get his match play form as Moh used his years of experience on the green baize to control the whiz kid from Penang. Moh led 2-0 in the match before Sebastian could give a decent reply and struggled hard to win frame 3, narrowing the gap to 2-1. But that was all he could do as Moh showed him the old school ways of snooker and won frame 4 and match, showing Sebastian the exit.
Sam Chong on the other match just couldn't get anything going at all. Playing Ben Reeves from One Snooker, Sam was like a beginner picking up a cue starting to learn the ways, as he played directionless against Ben. Ben scored effortlessly as Sam made careless mistakes all around.
Frame 3 was a close encounter as it went down to the colours with only a few points difference. Safety plays were changing hands and towards the end Sam was 15 points up with Blue, Pink and Black left on the table, with a glimpse of hope to come back into the match. Ben had to clear all 3 colours to win and a safety that went wrong by Sam gave him the opportunity. Slow and steady, Ben paced himself to take one shot at a time and eventually potted the final Black to win the match.
Moh Loon Hong now plays former National Snooker Champion Patrick Ooi as Ben Reeves plays Michael Tan tomorrow in the Last 16 stage.
