Bingham battles to earn a semi-final place in Phuket’s snooker cup

PHUKET: Stuart Bingham struggled against a defiant Passakorn Suwannawat in the last quarter-final of the Sangsom Phuket Snooker Cup (updated table of results here) being held at the Royal Paradise Hotel in Patong.

The best of seven match started at 7pm with Passakorn looking more at ease than the world number 17.

Passakorn took the first frame, but Bingham recovered to win the next and the frame trading continued in this fashion until the scores stood at 3-3.

Bingham’s experience shone through in the deciding frame and now meets Issara Kachaiwong, world number 87, in today’s 4pm semi-final.
