In this round, Bao Phuong Vinh is in group A with David Pennor and Joseba Escribano. In the opening match, the Vietnamese player did not show any signs of "warming up" when he was held to a 40-40 draw by his opponent, Escribano, who was rated lower.

Entering the decisive match with David Pennor, Bao Phuong Vinh had to win to have any hope of advancing. Facing countless difficulties and pressure, the player born in 1995 still created one of the most astonishing moments in recent World Cups.

In the first round, Bao Phuong Vinh only got 3 points. But in the second round, he immediately made a shocking series of 25 points.

He then only got 2 points in the third round but then continued to have a 10-point round. In the end, Bao Phuong Vinh won overwhelmingly 40-5 after only 4 rounds.

A 25-point series at a Billiards World Cup is a rare event. Thanks to this amazing turn of events, Bao Phuong Vinh not only won a ticket to the main round but also broke the world record.

Specifically, in the match against Pennor, he achieved an average scoring efficiency of 10 points/turn, surpassing the old record of 6 points/turn of Semih Sayginer in official tournaments managed by the World Carom Federation (UMB).

Since the beginning of the year, Bao Phuong Vinh has been in very good form in international and domestic tournaments. Therefore, he has the right to hope to win the World Cup for the first time in his career. Previously, this player had won the World Championship once.

In addition to Bao Phuong Vinh, Nguyen Tran Thanh Tu and Chiem Hong Thai also passed the 4th qualifying round. Thanks to that, the official group stage of the 3-cushion carom billiards World Cup in Antwerp witnessed the participation of 5 Vietnamese players.

Besides the 3 names that passed the group stage, the remaining two are Tran Quyet Chien and Tran Thanh Luc.
