News Jak Jones Wins the Last Two to Stun Williams and Set Up a Crucible Rematch With Wilson — Hohmann Turns Down His Mosconi Cup Place; Ouschan Falls First

Oct 25

Jak Jones is in the Northern Ireland Open final. He was 4–1 down to Mark Williams at the Waterfront Hall last night, and Williams missed an easy yellow that would have made it 5–1. Jones won five of the last six frames to win 6–5, and the decider ended just before midnight UK time. That gives Belfast a final that is a repeat of the 2024 World Championship final: Jones against Kyren Wilson, who won that one 18–14 at the Crucible. Northern Ireland Open: Jones turns it round against Williams...

Philippines Open: Chua holds his nerve, and gets a little help Chua flew out of the blocks and led 5–0 before Raga found his feet. Raga clawed it back to...

The 19-year-old "L'il Prince" has beaten Francisco Sánchez Ruiz in the Philippines Open quarter-finals and he's the first man into Saturday's semi-finals at Gateway Mall. WNT's word for it was "thrashes". Aloysius Yapp and Fedor Gorst are both out too, and the Team USA picture has probably moved again...

News Biado Roars Back From 8–3 Down to Win It on a Golden Break — Regalario Dethrones Alcaide 10–2; Belfast's Last Eight Is Set
