The fourth round of the 3rd leg of the 2025-2026 PBA Team League billiards tournament took place on September 17. The notable match was the clash between Harim Dragons and Hana Card. Both teams had Vietnamese players, including Tran Duc Minh, Nguyen Huynh Phuong Linh (Harim Dragons) and Nguyen Quoc Nguyen (Hana Card). In this match, the top Vietnamese players clashed in the first game, when the pair Tran Duc Minh/Kim Jun-tae met Nguyen Quoc Nguyen/Murat Naci Coklu.
