Billiards: Launching a big series, Vietnamese players continuously defeat Turkish experts

Tran Duc Minh had a great performance in the Harim Dragons jersey when he continuously won against strong Turkish players at the Korean professional billiards tournament PBA Team League 2025-2026 season.

The sixth round of the 3rd leg of the PBA Team League 2025-2026 billiards tournament took place on September 19, witnessing the high performance of Vietnamese player Tran Duc Minh. Specifically, in the match against Winners, the Hue native had 2 opportunities to play and brought victory to the Harim Dragons team. Notably, Tran Duc Minh continuously defeated the top players from Turkey, both in doubles and men's singles.

2 series 9 appeared when Tran Duc Minh took the field

In the first game, Tran Duc Minh and Kim Jun-tae competed against the very strong Turkish pair of Winners team, Lutfi Cenet and Burak Hashas. Cenet is a veteran player, having advanced many times in the PBA arena. Meanwhile, Hashas, ​​born in 2006, is considered a prodigy of Turkish billiards. Facing a "tough" opponent, Duc Minh and Jun-tae continued to show their good coordination, needing only 2 turns to win the first game. In the first turn, the Harim Dragons pair scored 2 points, then had a series of 9s in the second turn, thereby defeating the Cenet/Hashas pair with a score difference of 11/2.
