Villareal came up empty on the break in the seventh rack, and Pan cleared the table to reach the hill 6-1. But Pan missed the 1 ball in the following rack, and Villareal was out, claiming, "I’ve got too much heart!" A foul by Pan gave the next rack to Villareal as well, but when Villareal pushed out and left her opponent a shot, Pan took the ball and ran with it, clearing the difficult layout to win the second semifinal 7-3.
Ga-Young Kim and Xiaoting Pan will play each other in the final match of the Carolina Women’s Billiard Classic.
