The Dynamic Billard Best of the East, which took place in Prague, is behind us. The event held at the Lucky Ball Club attracted 82 pool billiards enthusiasts who came from: Romania, Poland, Georgia, North Macedonia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine. Kristián Mrva proved to be the best in the Czech capital.
The nearly 21-year-old Slovak did not have an easy time, because already in the group he competed with, among others, the medalist of the Junior World Championships, Jakub Chrobot. Despite this, Mrva was unrivaled, won all three matches and thus reported to the next phase of the competition.
Competing in the play-off for the medal zone, he beat the legend of Slovak pool, Jaroslav Polach, as well as Michal Gavenciak (CZE) other rivals. Finally, in the semi-finals, he faced the Fortis Kielce pool player, Mariusz Skoneczny, and won the competition 7:5.
