Despite winning the lag, Eklent Kaçi struggled to gain momentum at the start, with both players immediately engaging in a rack exchange. In rack 5, the Albanian scratched on the break, allowing Chua to set up a remarkable 2-6-9 combo and begin a four-rack lead.
Kaçi found his chance in rack 9, potting the 2-ball after Chua failed to hook, allowing him to run up the racks. Chua tried to regain control in rack 12 but miscued the 8-ball, enabling Kaçi to not only level the field but also kickstart a nine-rack win streak to become the first World Pool Championship finalist of this year.

Former champion Fedor Gorst faced the Polish warrior Wojciech Szewczyk in the second semi-final matchup, with neither player able to gain a decisive advantage. The match remained level at 2-2, 4-4, and then 6-6.
In rack 13, Gorst finally shifted gears, executing a jump shot on the 2-ball to escape Szewczyk’s trap and take the lead at 7-6. In rack 16, Szewczyk attempted to capitalise on Gorst’s failure to pot the 8-ball but made the same mistake, parking the 8-ball deep in the pocket, allowing Gorst to sweep and reach the hill at 10-6.
Despite Szewczyk's final effort to claim two more racks, he failed to hook Gorst on the 2-ball, allowing Gorst to sweep once more and secure his place as a finalist for the second time.
Eklent Kaçi vs Fedor Gorst head to the final in a marathon race to 15, today at 7:30 pm KSA / 5:30 pm BST UK time, available on Sky Sports, SSC, Shahid VIP Sports, MENA, and DAZN.
