Choklu, who was a player while driving a bus and taxi, laughed brightly. After the PBA debut, ‘Life 2 Act 2’ was opened.
Murat Naji Choklu (Hana Card) from Turkiye’s 2025 ~ 2026 Pro Billiards Opening Exhibition held at the KINTEX PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, on the 23rd, Daniel Sanchez (Welcome Savings Bank) in the final match of the men’s department of the Woori Financial Capital PBA-LPBA Championship 4-1 (15:12, 15:11, 15: 8, 6:15, 15: 4) was defeated and climbed to the top. Choklu, who took the second win, earned 100 million won.
Choklu won one or three sets by pressing Sanchez with sophisticated hits from the beginning of the day, and was pushed by the shot of Sanchez’s fighting shot with four sets of pride. However, he completely defeated his opponent, including connecting the first ball to 7 high runs in five sets, and won the championship stroke in four innings.
After winning the championship, Choklu expressed his joy while kissing his cue and encouraging him with his best friend, Sanchez.
Choklu jumped into the front line after dropping out of the first year of middle school because of his poor family situation. He experienced the national championship as a billiard player in the mid -90s, but he also played a player while driving taxis and buses.
Later, in 2004, he made his name in the European 3 Cushion Championship and the 3rd Cushion World Cup.
Choklu showed his strength by winning the first season’s Crown Haitai Championship, and led the team’s team league championship at the time. This time, he took the second summit and established a solid position as a world -class player.
In a press conference after the championship, Choklu said, “After the last season’s World Championship, I tried to focus on life and happiness with my family so that I didn’t take Billiards as an example. I had a very happy time with my family.” He also said, “I am also happy to win with Kim Ga -young. It was always a dream.”
On the other hand, Sanchez, who won the SWIH Hanoi Open last year, won two wins, but did not cross the more seasoned Choklu’s wall.
The ‘Welcome -Top Ranking’ (4 million won), which is given to a player who scored the highest Averages, won the award by Hwang Hyung -bum, who recorded 3.462 in the 128th round.
