BANGALORE: Pankaj Advani, the reigning World champion, annexed his second Asian billiards crown with a 5-4 win over fellow Indian Rupesh Shah in Myanmar late on Sunday.

Advani, who had won his fourth World title and third in billiards in Singapore last September, was made to fight every inch for the crown.

Having lost to Peter Gilchrist in the early stages of the knock-out last year at Doha, Advani was in roaring form throughout. The finalwas anybody’s game, which finally swung in Advani’s favour.

Other results: Semifinals: Pankaj Advani bt Aung San Oo (Mym) 4-0 (100-5, 100-68, 100-55, 100-75); Rupesh Shah bt Praprut (Tha) 4-3 (100-35, 38-100, 0-100, 70-100, 100-91, 100-10, 100-15).
