Moh fails to make Last 4

After few days of exceptional playing form, Moh Keen Hoo fails to advance into the Semi Finals of the IBSF World Amateur Snooker Championship 2010 after losing to Pankaj Advani from India with a scoreline of 1-6.

As the match commenced, Pankaj went off straight to a 3-0 lead before Moh broke his rhythm and won Frame 4 to narrow the gap to 3-1. But that was all he could do as Pankaj went on to claim the following three frames, winning the match and advancing into the Semi Final stage.

Sebastian breaks through concubine's jinx

(l-r) Ooi Chin Kay with Sebastian H'ng

His maiden victory came only after competing in 10 legs and Sebastian has every right to be joyful, after beating Ooi Chin Kay from Club 2 to win Leg 10 of the National Ranking Snooker Championship 2010 at Seasons Snooker.

With the top 2 seeds in Syria for the World Championship, a new winner seemed possible as the Championship commenced last Thursday. As the Championship played to it's Final stage, Ooi was aiming at winning his third ranking event to make it a hattrick. Sebastian, from A-Que Club on the other side of the ring however looked even more determined to break his jinx after appearing in a few finals, only to walk away with the runner up's prize.

Final commenced 8pm sharp and Sebastian immediately seized the lead of 2-0 with breaks of 62 and 51. Ooi bounced back and made a 41 break to claim back one frame, only to see the lead go back to two frames, as Sebastian made another 60 break in frame 4 to lead 3-1. The tension and nervousness kicked in, as Sebastian saw his lead trickle away with careless mistakes, giving Ooi the opportunity to regain form and level the match at 3-3.

Final frame was a see-saw affair as both players were missing easy shots, showing signs of nervousness, but a safety that went wrong on the last red by Ooi gave Sebastian the chance to score and finally winning the frame and match. He walks away with RM 2,500 cash prize plus the highest break prize with 116 points.

Below are the results for the Semi Finals and Final.

Patrick Ooi triumphant at 2K Open

(l-r) Patrick Ooi and Lai Chee Wei

It seemed like only it was yesterday but Patrick who has long been missing from podium finishes, taught the youngsters of today a lesson or two on how to play snooker. His victory over Lai Chee Wei at 2K Open Snooker Championship 2010 proves that he still has a few tricks up his sleeve and is not to be taken lightly.

Hailing from Perak and currently based in One Cuez Snooker, Ipoh, his match play form was comparable when he won the National Championship twice in 2002 and 2006. Whenever he steps up to the table, fear is instilled into his opponent as he takes them by the neck. And this time was no different as he faced Lai in the Final.

Both were playing conservatively as it commenced and the match was leveled at 2-2 with neither one willing to budge off from each other's sight. After a short break, Patrick came back with a change of strategy, opting for the aggressive approach which paid off well, giving him frame 5, needing only 1 more frame to seal victory. Frame 6 appeared to sway from left to right but Patrick jumped on the first chance and made a break of 55 with one red left on the table, missing on the crucial pink to give Lai a last chance. 2 careless mistake by Patrick saw the points difference narrow down but Lai was not able to capitalize on the opportunity, and immediately allowed Patrick to pounce in, winning frame 6 and match. He walks away with cash prize of RM 3,000 and the Champion's trophy.
