Final[edit]

The final was played between two Filipino players, the two players alternate break. Carlo Biado reached 13 in the first place to win the championship.

Biado quickly dominated the first two games. He then took advantage of Garcia's mistakes to make the score 5–0, then 7–0. Garcia gets the first point in the eighth game, losing 1–7. However Garcia's perfectionism in the next game led Biado to raise the score to 8–1.

Garcia seemed to be back with two straight wins, with a 3–8 deficit. However, a good break from Biado, with a penalty shoot-out Garcia made the score continue to separate the 7 points is 10–3. However, at this time the results seem to have been determined. Biado quickly ended the match with a perfect game of breaking balls and win the match and the 9-Ball world championship for the first time.[14][15]
