HO CHI MINH CITY - The start that Torbjörn Blomdahl made in the World Cup in Ho Chi Minh was to ring the bells in the arena. The finish, on the other hand, was impressive. The Swede playing the Korean Ho, took the best out of himself when he went to the table for his 20th inning, was 26-24 down and closed the match with a blistering 16. The first images, showing a moderate Blomdahl, put up the fade away.
a were just a shame.
Tayfun Tasdemir was the best winner in the third session of the day. With a victory over Eddy Leppens, yesterday's star player (40-27 in 18), the Turk gathered among the best sixteen. Leppens has to wait for his revenge for the unusual loss in Luxor (40-3 in 10).
Jae Guen Kim was the strongest in the final shot between two Koreans. Jung Han Heo missed his last carom by a whisker, then Kim went out with 2: 40-39 in 25. Nikos Polychronopoulos attacked with 12 against Sang Pil Um, had a little stop in the match, but ended up 40-36 in 23.
