# World 10-Ball 2026: Day Two Results and September 21 Schedule

*Jayson Shaw, Fedor Gorst and Joshua Filler advanced on the winners' side, while major champions now face elimination matches in Ho Chi Minh City.*

The 2026 WPA Men's 10-Ball World Championship enters a high-pressure losers-side session on September 21 after Jayson Shaw, Fedor Gorst, Joshua Filler and other leading contenders advanced through the winners' bracket in Ho Chi Minh City. Shane Van Boening, Carlo Biado, Aloysius Yapp and several Vietnamese players now face matches in which another defeat will end their title challenge.

## What happened on day two of the World 10-Ball Championship?

The winners-side round on September 20 produced several notable results. Shaw and Gorst moved through without dropping a set, while Filler, Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, Albin Ouschan and Niels Feijen also stayed on the unbeaten route.

The biggest pressure shifted toward the losers' side after Van Boening lost 2-0 to Feijen, Biado fell 2-1 to Skyler Woodward and Yapp was beaten 2-1 by Luca Menn. Those defeats did not immediately eliminate the former world champions, but they removed their margin for error.

## What were the complete September 20 winners-side results?

All matches were played under the championship's set format. A 2-0 result means the winner took the first two sets, while 2-1 indicates that the match reached a deciding third set.

|---|---:|
| Wojciech Szewczyk vs Hayato Hijikata | 2-0 |
| Eklent Kaci vs Gerson Martinez Boza | 2-0 |
| Denis Grabe vs Wiktor Fortunski | 2-0 |

## Which day-two results changed the championship picture?

Woodward's 2-1 victory over 2024 champion Biado was one of the most important results of the session. The American remained unbeaten, while Biado was pushed into a September 21 elimination match against Henry Nguyen.

Feijen's 2-0 win over Van Boening was equally significant. Van Boening must now defeat Mauricio Garcia to remain in the tournament, while Feijen continues on the winners' side with his perfect record intact.

Yapp's loss to Menn created another headline. The 2026 world 8-ball champion is now scheduled to meet Cedric Gonzales, and the loser will have no route back into the draw.

The home challenge also came under pressure. Duong Quoc Hoang, Luong Duc Thien, Nguyen Anh Tuan and Phuong Nam Pham all lost close 2-1 matches. Each remains alive, but every one of them must win on September 21.

## What is the September 21 losers-side schedule?

The September 21 session contains 32 losers-side matches at Phu Tho Indoor Stadium. The opening block begins at 5:30 p.m. local time, followed by a second block at 7:30 p.m. Vietnam time.

## Which Vietnamese players face elimination matches?

Five Vietnamese representatives appear in the September 21 losers-side session. Phuong Nam Pham meets Huan Fu, Luong Duc Thien faces Sean Mark Malayan, Duong Quoc Hoang plays Shahbaz Adil Khan, Nguyen Anh Tuan meets Jakub Koniar and Chu Viet Hoang faces Alex Pagulayan.

The Duong match is likely to attract the greatest attention from the home crowd. He lost only in a deciding set against Sniegocki, but his next match carries a much harsher consequence: victory extends his run, while defeat ends it.

Chu Viet Hoang's match with Pagulayan offers another compelling contrast. Pagulayan brings decades of international experience, but he also enters the match after a 2-0 defeat to Sanchez Ruiz. Both players must respond immediately.

## Why is the losers' bracket especially dangerous in this format?

The opening stage uses double elimination to reduce the field from 96 players to 32. One early loss moves a player to the losers' side; a second loss eliminates that player from the championship.

Matches in this phase are best of three sets, with every set played as a race to four racks. The first player to win two sets takes the match. If the deciding set reaches 3-3, the winner is determined by a shootout.

Short races increase volatility. One dry break, one missed position or one successful safety exchange can decide a set before a player has time to recover. The set format also forces players to rebuild momentum from zero after each set, even when they have dominated the previous four racks.

## What are the main World 10-Ball Championship details?

| Tournament detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Dates | September 19-26, 2026 |
| Venue | Phu Tho Indoor Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City |
| Field | 96 players |
| Opening stage | Double elimination to the last 32 |
| Knockout stage | Single elimination from the last 32 |
| Total prize fund | $300,000 |
| Champion's prize | $80,000 |
| Entry fee | $500 |
| Equipment | Predator tables, Arcos II balls and Simonis cloth |

The last 32 is scheduled for September 25. The tournament then accelerates on September 26, when the last 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and championship match are scheduled to determine the 2026 world champion.

## Why does this championship matter for Vietnamese pool?

Hosting a 96-player world championship gives Vietnamese competitors rare access to elite opposition without international travel. It also places local players in front of a home audience at one of the country's largest indoor sports venues.

The men's championship is part of the Predator Pro Billiard Series Vietnam program alongside the Box Billiards Mixed Doubles Open and the Poison Saigon Women's 9-Ball Open. Together, the events turn Ho Chi Minh City into a global pool center for more than a week.

For the Vietnamese players, September 21 is therefore more than a survival round. Every victory keeps a home representative visible in a tournament filled with former world champions and internationally ranked contenders.
