Defending champion Pankaj Advani on Saturday started his journey in style defeating compatriot Prem Prakash in the World Billiards championship's time format.

Pankaj, who annexed the point format of the championship on Friday, outperformed Prakash 1735-703 in the league opener.

Veteran Geet Sethi, who lost to Pankaj in points format, proved too good for his Ireland opponent Aidan Murray winning at 1939-167.
