Ace cueist Pankaj Advani (PSPB) neatly constructed a brilliant 121 points effort, the highest break so far in the competition, for his fourth successive win in the round-robin league matches of the “GSC World Snooker Qualifiers”. The Qualifiers is a BSFI National Selection Tournament, organized by The Sportal here.
Pankaj started hesitantly and his opponent Dhvaj Haria cashed on the opportunities to take a 2-0 lead. But Pankaj went on to win the third and get back into the match.
That three-figure break seemed to have knocked the fight out of Dhvaj as Pankaj went on to comfortably win the next three frames to complete a satisfying 29-74, 31-79, 121(121)-00, 69-14, 69-03 and 72-17 win.
