Another edition of the Polish Billiards Championships has become history. The games, which have been held for years in Kielce, this time brought a lot of emotions to fans of this sport. The competition ended with a 9-ball tournament won by Mieszko Fortuński!

In the quarterfinals, Mieszko Fortuński eliminated Tomasz Kapłan, and then in the game for the final he had to face Wojciech Szewczyk. The Fortuński defeated Szewczyk 9:7 in the semifinals. On the other side of the bracket were Daniel Macioł and Mateusz Śniegocki. This match for entering the final ended with the victory 9:4.

The final 9-ball competition was the highlight of the entire tournament, and its main hero was Mieszko Fortuński. He sealed his victory over Macioł 9:6 in great style, with an almost artistic finish of a very difficult arrangement in the last set.

In the women’s competition, Izabella Jońska won the semi-finals of the 9-ball variety, among others. The bronze medalist in 8-ball defeated Katarzyna Wesołowska 6:4 in the match to advance to the medal zone. In order to get to the final battle for the gold medal, Jońska had to defeat Monika Ząbek.
