Bengaluru, Dec 8:
After upsetting tournament favourite Pankaj Advani, reigning National Champion Sourav Kothari barged into semifinals defeating compatriot Dhvaj Haria 1250-816 in the Long-Up Format of the IBSF World Billiards Championship here today.
Sourav, who could have won the game rather easily with a lead of 1200 against 595, missed a shot and had to wait for scoring his last 50 points, but not before Dhvaj had posted a break of 221. (PTI)
