Carlow (Ireland), April 27: India’s Siddharth Parikh rallied splendidly to put it across fourth-seeded Peter Sheehan in the pre-quarterfinals of the IBSF World Billiards Championship here on Monday.
Parikh sets up quarterfinal clash
The 45-year-old Mumbaikar’s come-from-behind 575-508 victory set up a quarterfinal meeting with fifth seed Robert Hall later in the day. Hall outclassed former champion Mike Russell 882-258 at an adjacent table.
Down 331-477 with about 35 minutes remaining, Parikh found an opening he was looking for. Sheehan missed a forcing red in-off to the bottom right-hand pocket, and Parikh latched onto the offering to construct a gritty break of 126 to reduce the margin.
