Advani, who gained top seeding after his near flawless group stage matches, scoring wins of 4-1, 4-1 and 4-0, breezed through the last-32 and last-16 stages to be the only Indian left in the top 8 of the championship.
Today, the 16-time world champion was in full flow as he beat UAE's leading snooker player Mohammed Al-Joaker 5-1 in the quarterfinals to assure India's only medal in the event.
The second frame saw Advani's highest break of this tournament at 102.
While Advani has won the Asian 6-red Snooker Championship (last year), this title (15-red Asian Snooker) is the only one missing from his vast trophy cabinet.
Result: Pankaj Advani (India) beat Mohammed Al-Joaker (UAE) 5-1: 58-52, 102(102)-0, 12-60, 60-31, 56-20, 71-59.
