SINGAPORE - Aloysius Yapp's run at the Predator World 10-Ball Championships ended after he was beaten 10-8 by Albania's Eklent Kaci in the semi-finals on Friday (Sept 10) in Las Vegas, but he can still hold his head high.

The 25-year-old's third-place finish is the best performance by any Singaporean at a world meet of either the 9- or 10-ball iteration of pool. He was also the previous best performer when he finished in the top eight of the World 9-Ball Championship in Dubai in 2015.
