Quoc Hoang secured a convincing victory against Carlo Biado.

The Andy Revival Challenge match concluded with a 9-7 victory for the Vietnamese player. This is considered a sweet revenge for Duong Quoc Hoang against Carlo Biado. The Filipino player recently won the 2025 Asian Pool Championship and is also a long-standing rival of Quoc Hoang in previous encounters.

The turning point came in the 16th racket, when the Vietnamese player's composure shone through. In a tense, safe shot, Carlo Biado made a mistake on the 6th ball. Not missing the opportunity, Quoc Hoang finished the match with a convincing 9-7 victory.

The victory earned Duong Quoc Hoang a $5,000 prize, and also helped him demonstrate significant progress in his mental fortitude and ability to handle crucial moments.

Notably, this rematch took place just days after Carlo Biado won the 2025 Asian Pool Championship. Duong Quoc Hoang's victory is therefore particularly valuable, affirming the increasingly solid position of Vietnamese billiards players on the continental stage.
