When the semi finals started, the Organizers had already announced the winning country for Day 3 as four Indonesians advanced to the semi final stages taking up all 4 spots. It was Muhd Zulfikri who eventually prevailed as Day 3 winner by beating fellow country men Imran Ibrahim 9-4.
Muhd Zulfikri after defeating Jimmy Jusman in the semi final, 2nd time in 3 meetings, raced to take the lead in the final by a wide margin of 8-1 and was 1 rack away from claiming victory. Imran Ibrahim who beat Apsi Chaniago after a grueling 2 hours semi final, took a time out and managed to reduce the gap to trail 8-4. But as Muhd Zulfikri broke off in rack 13, the 1 ball was insight but no potting angle with 2 balls pocketed. Playing a snooker on 1 ball, leaving the cue ball behind 4 ball, Imran played a great escape but left a chance for Muhd Zulifikri. He then potted 1 ball and followed to clear the rack without looking back, sealing rack 13 and match over Imran Ibrahim.
Muhd Zulfikri now joins Ahmad Taufiq of Brunei and Do Hong Quan of Vietnam to compete in the final stages of Party Poker.net World Pool Masters 2010 at Las Vegas from May 13 to 16.
Below are the results for Day 3 and draw chart for Day 4.
