And he converts!
Sameer Verma takes the first game 21-17. It had no point coming this close when Verma led 11-5, but Viditsarn fought back. However, Verma manages to stay calm and pockets the first game.
Can he finish this off in straight games? Or will Vitidsarn force him into a decider? Belive me, you cannot really rule out either!
