Chennai: Pankaj Advani (PSPB) raced to his fifth title in the senior National billiards championship with a 5-1 drubbing of Balachandra Bhaskar of Karnataka who was playing in his maiden final, here Saturday.

After a sluggish start when he conceded the first frame, the 26-year-old Advani took a firm grip on the match with some high quality billiards that left his fellow-Bangalorean Bhaskar rooted to his chair for much of the contest.

Bhaskar, for long on the fringes of the big league, had done extremely well to reach the final, scalping the more fancied Dhruv Sitwala in the semi-finals and veteran Devendra Joshi in the quarter-finals. (IANS)
