Playing in his first Semi Final for 2012, Lai was in good shape as he faced Sam Chong, whom too was playing well in this Leg. But it was Lai who came out winning the match 4-2, to meet Imtiaz, winner of Leg 3, whom defeated Lee Hwa Meng on the final frame in the other Semi.

Imtiaz wins in Good 9

(l-r) Imtiaz Serwer and Lee Hwa Meng

Imtiaz Serwer was literally unstoppable today as he beats the top 2 seeds to win Leg 3 XZ Snooker Tour 2012 at Good 9 Snooker & Pool Club.

Both Semi Finals matches registered the same score as Imtiaz and Lee Hwa Meng won 4-1 against Rory Thor and Patrick Ooi respectively. Lee goes into his 3rd consecutive Final for 2012, hoping to convert it to a win while it's Imtiaz's first appearance in the Tour final.

As the Final cued off 830pm sharp, both players came to the table aiming to capture their first victory in 2012. As the match progressed, both players were equally balanced on the offensive and defensive side, not willing to nudge a bit to each other.

The match was leveled at 2-2 as they took a five minutes break and right back at the table, Imtiaz made a 79 break and came one step closer to victory. Lee struggled to come back but still to no avail as Imtiaz closed in to win frame and match.
