Pankaj Advani clinches men's Asian Snooker Championship

India's ace cueist Pankaj Advani has clinched the 35th men's Asian Snooker Championship in Doha to complete a career grand slam in cue sports.

Advani defeated Thanawat Tirapongpaiboon 6-3 in the final on Friday to become the only one to win the Asian and World championships in all formats.

He conquered the ACBS Asian Snooker events - 6-red



(short format) and 15-red (long format) - along with the IBSF World Championships in both formats too.

Having already accomplished it in Billiards, Pankaj had this elusive 15-red Asian Snooker title missing from his silverware collection.

Pankaj will now take part in IBSF World Cup next week in Doha.
