Johann Chua outclassed Vann Boening, 10-6, in the semifinals of the 2024 European Open Pool
Championship at Fulda.

legends.

“Before the match starts I said to myself that I have to win this match” Chua said.

ball.

At the last shot during the third round, Boening left the ball hanging at the pocket, giving Chua
an easy shot, 3-0.

Chua continues to dominate the 4th round but then failed to pocket the 4th ball at the fifth
round.

Boening showed great resolve after trailing, 4-2, displaying nerves of steel before a scratch cut
his spirited comeback.

Chua then failed to pocket the last ball at the 7th round, giving Boening a chance to
redeem himself, 4-3.

A scratch again from Boening give Chua a win for two straight rounds.

The last rounds of the game were a dog shot from Boening as he continuously making a foul.

Chua decided to end the match after Boening failed to pocket the 5th ball at the 15th rounds and
showed a glimpse of what he already done numerous times, 10-6.

“That’s how game really is,” said Boening.

Chua is set to compete at the grand finals next week where he will face the billiards legends in
the world.
