After surviving a close encounter with Jakarta’s Alex McMillan in a quarter final, winning 3 -2, Ruairi McCarroll representing Bangkok then cruised through his semi- final to set a grand final challenge with the defending champion, Freddie Soh from Shanghai. The final was surprisingly one sided with Ruairi setting up a 3 -0 lead which placed a lot of pressure on Freddie who then won the fourth frame. The crowd was anticipating a comeback from the defending champion but it was Ruairi who was playing with a lot of confidence continued on his winning way in the next two frames setting up a 5 -1 victory.

Third place went to Chng Kheng Leng (KL) from Ho Chi Minh City after he defeated the fast improving Klaudia Djajalie from Jakarta 4 – 2 frames.
