Billiards: Defeating the PBA champion, the Vietnamese player helped his team make a spectacular comeback.

Come back after losing the first three games...

September 14th opened the third round of the 2025-2026 PBA Team League Korean billiards tournament, witnessing two dramatic comebacks by teams with Vietnamese players as members. First of all, we must mention the impressive performance of NH Pay (Ma Minh Cam's team) against Weebies. NH Pay was behind 3-0, but still won 4-3 overall.

In this match, Ma Minh Cam (the only Vietnamese player to win the PBA Tour to date) was scheduled to play from the 5th game (men's singles), meeting the 2022-2023 PBA Tour champion Kang Min-gu (defeated Ngo Dinh Nai in the final). At that time, the NH Pay team was very close to losing when they were down 3-1. However, Minh Cam played excellently to help the home team win another game, rekindling their hopes of scoring points.

Right in the opening turn, Ma Minh Cam entered the game with a series of 4 points, including a beautiful a-bang shot. It can be said that the Vietnamese player did not reach his best performance in this game. However, Kang Min-gu did not have a good feeling either. Minh Cam closed the game with a precise a-bang shot, winning 11/5, after 9 turns.
