Chua captures Hanoi Open 9-ball crown

MANILA, Philippines — Filipino cue artist Johann Chua ruled the 2024 Hanoi Open after defeating Taiwanese Ko Pin-yi in the final, 13-7, at the Hanoi Indoor Games Gymnasium on Sunday night.

Ko, also known as the 'Filipino Slayer', missing the 9-ball on the 19th rack doomed him as Chua capitalized to put himself on the hill.
