IBSF World Champion Pankaj Advani of Bangalore was in scintillating form and stole the thunder with an outstanding performance as he humbled Englishman Rob Hall by registering an emphatic 2044-507 victory in a four-hour final of the Cricket Club of India (CCI) organised Rs 10 lakh prize-money Classic Invitation Billiards (time format) Championship at the CCI Sir Wilson Jones billiards hall recently.
