Cue player Nguyen Duc Anh Chien was the runner-up of the prestigious 2019 World Championship of 3-cushion carom and was once in the world top 15. In 2023, Anh Chien moved to compete in the Professional Billiards Association (PBA) system. However, since moving to the PBA, the Vietnamese player has not been able to leave his mark.
Nguyen Duc Anh Chien is in good form at PBA
At the Welcome Savings Bank PBA Championship, Anh Chien is regaining his peak form with his precise and beautiful shots. In the first two rounds, the Vietnamese player convincingly defeated Go Do-young and Park In-su of the host country to advance to the round of 32.
Anh Chien's next opponent at 7:30 p.m. on the 30th of Tet will be Lee Kuk-seong, who is also in very good form. If he can maintain his form, the 1983-born Vietnamese player has every hope of making it to the round of 16 of a PBA tour for the first time since moving to compete here.
Ma Ming Cam stops early at Welcome Savings Bank PBA Championship
Also at the Welcome Savings Bank PBA Championship, other highly rated Vietnamese players such as Ma Minh Cam, Ngo Dinh Nai, Nguyen Quoc Nguyen or Nguyen Huynh Phuong Linh all played for free and had to leave early. With this result, Anh Chien will be the only hope to bring joy to Vietnamese 3-cushion carom billiards on the first day of the year of the Dragon 2024.
The PBA Tour 3-Cushion Carom Billiards is the tournament with the highest prize money among Billiards tournaments worldwide. The PBA Tour consists of 9 tournaments a year, each tournament has 250 million won in prize money (about 4.6 billion VND), in which the championship receives 100 million won (about 1.834 billion VND).
