TT and others at the 2012 Mike Yow Memorial Cup

Postby roy142857

The early stages of the Mike Yow Memorial Cup in Kuala Lumpa included breaks of 130 by Malaysia’s Chooi Yew Wah, 124 from Brijesh Damani of India, Thailand’s Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon with a 119 break and Imtiaz Serwer of Pakistan with a 112. Serwer is resident in Malaysia I think.

Former Asian Champion Sam Chong continues his snooker comeback - he was off the scene for about 9 years until last year winning Gold in the doubles at the Sea Games with Rory Thor - think he's about 50?

Results of the last 16 and quarter finals :

Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon (Thailand) 4 – 3 Rory Thor Chuan Leong (Malaysia)
(Rory Thor had winning breaks of 126, 57 and 55, not quite enough to beat TT )
Au Chi Wai (Hong Kong) 4 – 3 Chooi Yew Wah (Malaysia)
(Au Chi Wai had a break of 100)
Imtiaz Serwer (Pakistan) 4 – 0 Roslan Yurnalis (Malaysia)
Ng Ann Seng (Malaysia) 4 – 3 Brijesh Damani (India)
Sam Chong (Malaysia) 4 – 2 Fong Keng Seng (Malaysia)
Chan Ka Kin (Hong Kong) 4 – 3 Lim Kok Leong (Malaysia)
Yuttapop Pakpoj (Thailand) 4 – 3 Patrick Ooi (Malaysia)
Ibrahim Amir (Malaysia) 4 – 0 David Tang (Malaysia)

Sam Chong rose to the occasion and showed he really IS back by lifting the Mike Yow Memorial Cup. He'd already managed a semi-final comeback from 0 - 3 down, before a dominant performance in the final.

Results

Semi finals
Imtiaz Serwer (Pakistan) 5 - 2 Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon (Thailand)
Sam Chong (Malaysia) 5 - 3 Yuttapop Pakpoj (Thailand)

Final
Sam Chong (Malaysia) 5 - 0 Imtiaz Serwer (Pakistan)

Super Sam!
:D :win:
