Legendary Pankaj Advani yesterday extended his World title to 21 by winning the long and short formats of the IBSF World Billiards Championship titles for a record fourth time here.

While Advani has always won the timed version of the long format, the more recent short version eluded him over the years. Advani's city mate from Bangalore, B Bhaskar, a two-time Asian silver medallist and a bronze medal winner at the world level, had to settle for silver. A weak break by the tall, lanky Bhaskar allowed Advani to start off with a bang as he delivered a massive first blow through a 190 break.
