In another heart-stopping match, Carlo Biado capitalized on a missed 8-ball by Sanjin Pehlivanovic to secure a spot in the championship match against Austria’s Mario He. The match went hill-hill, with the Bosnian seemingly on track to win, but he fell just short of ideal position on the 8-ball, leading to the crucial miss.

The final score was 11-10, with Biado emerging victorious in a tightly contested battle where neither player led by more than a single rack.
