Alok Kumar wins Asian Billiards title

National champion Alok Kumar has won the coveted Asian Billiards championship title. In Kish Island in Iran today, he blanked Praput Chaithanasukan of Thailand 6-0 in the best of 11 games 100 points format summit clash. Alok Kumar has thus become the first player to achieve the rare feat of winning both the Billiards and Snooker Asian titles. Earlier back in 2004 in Jordan, Alok had lifted the Asian Snooker title by defeating his compatriot former World Professional Billiards champion Pankaj Advani in the finals. During the course of the tournament, Alok fought hard to brush aside challenges of two former World Champions Pankaj Advani of India and Peter Gilchrist of Singapore in the quarters and semifinal to reach the final of the coveted championship.
