Kim Joon -tae, who found the answer… The first gateway to the professional billiards passage
Kim Joon -tae (Harim), who said, “I will go home and come to study,” finally penetrated the first gateway to the PBA stage.
Kim Joon-tae won the game score 2-2 against Lee Seung-jin in the 128th round of the 2025 ~ 2026 Tour Hana Card PBA-LPBA Championship Men’s Lecture at the KINTEX PBA Stadium in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 1st.
Kim Joon -tae suffered a loss of defeat after winning the Avenges 3.063 in the 128th round of Woori Financial Capital Championship last month. Kim Joon -tae, who was defeated by Chung Kyung -seop at the time, said, “It was difficult because the environment changed. I will go home and practice and practice.”
In the 128th round, he kept his promise by passing over the game. In particular, the joy was doubled by breaking Lee Seung -jin, who won the quarter -finals.
Kim Joon-tae gave two sets after winning the first set (15-14) and overpowered the three sets (15-4), but he was pushed back in four sets.
However, Lee Seung -jin, who caught the queue first in the game where the win or loss of the queue was divided into a single queue, got a chance for Kim Joon -tae, and Kim Joon -tae won the 64th round by winning two points for the turning and competition.
Kim Joon -tae, who is the world’s third cushion, broke through the difficulty of passing the first round gate of the players who made their debut in Phoei. Phoei’s stage takes time to adapt to the existing game method. If you do it wrong, you may not be able to pass the 128th Gate for a long time. Kim Joon -tae found a solution on his second tour.
Cho Jae-ho (NH Nonghyup Card), who was eliminated from the 128th round of the first tour Woori Financial Capital Championship, took over Lee Kang-wook with a set score of 3-1 and entered the 64th round. Cho Jae-ho ahead of three sets of set scores 2-1, and finished the game with 15 points in two innings in four sets. Jo Jae -ho’s Averaged 2.522 is the number one overall male.
Kang Ho David Martinez (Crown Haitai) and Javier Palasson (Huons) also joined the 64th round, and Kim Dong -young, who was promoted on Dream Tour (Part 2), advanced to the 64th round after winning Oh Tae -jun (Crown Haitai). Kim Dong -young also produced a perfect queue in the first set of two innings.
In the women’s club 32, Kim Ga-young (Hana Card) set Park Soo-hyun with a set score of 3-0, and Srong Piaby (Woori Financial Capital) defeated Han Seulgi 3-1. Baek Min -ju (Crown Haitai), Kang Ji -eun (SK Rent -A -Car) and Sakai Ayako (Hana Card) also rose to the round of 16.
