Thehu takes the first title in the seniors

Aug 7, 2019

In the seniors division of the Dynamic Billard European Championships for Seniors & Ladies 2019, Jesse Thehu (NED) just won the Gold Medal over Sascha Specchia (SUI) with 100:91 in an entertaining final match.



Thehu had the better start and the better ending in the match. He ran off and got a huge lead with 93:3 over Specchia. While everybody thought the match would be over soon, Thehu committed several easy mistakes which brought Specchia back into the match. The Swiss fought his way back into the match and suddenly the score was 92:91 for Thehu only with 9 balls remaining on the table. Specchia missed a relatively easy 1-ball in a decisive moment. Thehu used his chance and ran the table to win his 2bd European Championship title in Straight Pool.
