Carlo Biado defeats fellow Filipino Bernie Regalario, 11–3, to advance to the finals of the 2025 World Pool Championship. Biado was in control from start to finish, while Regalario struggled early with a couple of costly errors—mistakes Biado quickly capitalized on.

For the first time in seven years, a Filipino will be playing for the World Pool title. The last time this happened, Biado fell short against Germany’s Joshua Filler. Now, he’s aiming for redemption and his second World Pool Championship title, as he awaits the winner of the Fedor Gorst vs. Kledio Kaçi semifinal.
