    Iran teen crowned world snooker champ

    Iranian snooker player Hossein Vafaei has defeated Wales star Lee Walker in the final of the IBSF World Snooker Championship.

    The 17-year-old Iranian beat Walker 10-9 in the best of 19 frames final after a 10-hour battle to claim the championship in the Indian city of Bangalore.

    “The pressure got to me in the end. But I have learnt a bit about how to play under pressure. I thought I had him but Lee is a great player. I am just shocked; I don't know what to say as I hold the trophy,” he said after the match.

    The Iranian outclassed opponents from Austria, India, Ireland, Scotland, Afghanistan, Russia, and Australia to reach the final.

    The victory gives Vafaei a ticket for the professional tour next year and a check for $6,400.

    The IBSF World Snooker Championship was held from November 27 to December 3 in India, with 85 snooker players from around the globe participating.

      this ended up being not as prestigeous and they make it sound. It was not the official world championship, and rather just some random people. lol

            Every time I see KCs response, it just makes me .

            On a more serious note, KC, did you hear about the guy that walked into a bar and PressTV?

                        Does this mean you admit you made a mistake? If yes, let me know so I can smoke a cigarette before the world ends.

                          Ok now that we found out that he isn't the World Champion, unlike what the thread title and PressTV portrayed, I can close this thread.
