Ace Indian cueist Pankaj Advani edged past David Causier of England in the semi-final of the World Billiards Championship time format by a mere five points in Leeds yesterday. With Advani making it to the final it could have been an all-Bangalore title clash, but Balachandra Bhaskar went down to another Englishman, Robert Hall 978-824, in the semis. Advani had clinched the 150-up short format title last week.
