Chinese player Guo Qiang He has now become the 2018 IBSF World Under-18 Snooker Champion. In the final he defeated his compatriot Pengfie Lei after deciding frame 5-4.
For Pengfie, this is his second consecutive appearance in the final of Under-18 and both time he couldn’t succeed. Last year he lost to Muhammad Naseem of Pakistan.

Though he recorded highest break of the competition 136 during the league stages.
