Bali — Aramith Men’s Open final set
China’s Mi Le and Germany’s Joshua Filler are through to the Aramith Men’s Open final after overnight semi-finals at the Bali International Convention Centre.
Mi Le edged Hong Kong’s Robbie Capito in a deciding-set shootout — Capito had himself needed a shootout to dump James Aranas in the last 16. Filler beat Spain’s Francisco Sanchez Ruiz in the other semi. Both finalists remain unbeaten through the knockout (7–0), with Capito and Sanchez Ruiz finishing 3rd–4th).
The $42,000 title match is due Monday (5 October) on the Predator Pro Billiard Series stage. Amoroto’s earlier dump of world 10-ball champ Wojciech Szewczyk, Capito’s run, and Filler’s march past Carlo Biado already made this one of the deepest Bali fields in years.
