India Geet moves ahead after hot fight
India's Geet Sethi pulled off a very difficult win against former IBSF World Snooker champion, Chuchart T. of Thailand to enter the quarter finals in the Masters category of ONGC-IBSF World Snooker Championship 2009 being held at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre here today. Chuchart took complete control of the proceeding from the beginning and went ahead with a decisive lead of 3-1 in a best of 7 frame encounter. Unruffled by the score line Geet, remained calm and stuck to his job in the fifth frame which saw some good quality potting by both the players. Needing all the colours to win from green ball, Sethi potted and positioned brilliantly to force a land for a regulation black pot which he missed and offered Chuchart with a simple black pot, which Chuchart did without any mistake and to tie the score. On the respotted black Chuchart played a brilliant safety shot by sending the black right next to the top cushion behind the black spot with cue ball stuck to the bottom cushion. Unable to find out a correct shot to check Chuchart, Sethi tried to double the black in the green pocket with lot of top spin just to ensure that the cue ball does not come out much from the top cushion. The great force and top spin with which Geet played the shot made the cue-ball swerve to the right and hit black on a half-ball contact in place of intended three-quarter contact required for doubling it into the green pocket. Before Sethi could get up and watch the deflection of black, it rolled into the centre pocket giving him a chance to remain in contention in the match. -- (UNI) -- 21SPM10.xml
