Adding to his points format trophy that he won two days back, Indian cueist Pankaj Advani bagged the longer format crown at the World Billiards Championships being played in Yangon, Myanmar. With the twin titles at the current championship, Advani’s world title tally has moved up to 21.
Advani thrashed his Indian opponent B Bhasker in a one-sided summit clash 1500-299 to register fourth double of his professional career. Advani dominated the game from the very beginning as he got a wonderful break of 190 after a poor start by Bhasker. He then scored 171, 86, 92 and 134 in quick succession and fired 198 after that to take a big lead against the two-time Asian silver medallist.
Advani continued his dominance and he crossed 1000 mark with Bhaskar still at 206 with a deficit of around 800 points. Advani then registered 165, 66 and 89 to grab the title as Bhaskar could only manage a 64 and 58 in the entire battle.
