MYMC2014 : Rory defies all odds

(l-r) Semi Finalist Mohd Reza, Madam Jasmine, Soheil Vahedi,
Mr Sin Hock Ming, Rory Thor and Semi Finalist Fung Kwok Wai

Iran's Soheil Vahedi was the favourite before the Final started, but it was Rory Thor who left the table last laughing after beating Soheil 6-3 to win the 3rd MIKE YOW Memorial Cup 2014 here at GOLDEN BREAK Subang USJ.

Soheil Vahedi dropped only 2 frames on his route to the Final, thus making him the favourite to lift the Champion's trophy. Our National No 1, Rory Thor, however had other thoughts as he walked into the Hall of Champions.

Final cued off with Rory drawing first blood, but was quickly leveled by Soheil at 1-1. Rory took a quick gear change and reeled in the next 2 frames, reaching the halfway point leading 3-1. After a short break, Soheil showed why he was 2-times runner up in the IBSF events as he quickly leveled the match to 3-3.

That was the last effort by Soheil as Rory returned the favour, displaying his superior match play form to race pass the finishing line by taking the next 3 frames and winning the match.

Rory Thor takes home RM 8,000 cash prize for his week long effort while our overseas friend Soheil Vahedi only manages RM 3,500. Highest Break prize went to Ibrahim Amir with his 119 break in his Group Stage effort.

GOLDEN BREAK & CENTURY CLUB also donated to 2 charity organisation from the event. The respective organisation are Rumah Kanak Kanak Angels KL and Seng Wong Kong Old Folks & Rehab Centre, each receiving RM 8,250.

Final Result
Rory Thor (MAS) 6 - 3 Soheil Vahedi (IRN)
