2010 USSA National Snooker Championships
Ahmed Aly El Sayed has successfully defended his United States National Snooker Championship title, with a sensational 5-4 defeat of Yi Fei Mei in the final at the Embassy Billiards Club in San Gabriel, California.
Aly, who has become the first player to win back-to-back Championships since Tom Kollins in 1999, was for the second year running involved in a tense final frame shoot-out after a tremendous tussle where he forged ahead then lost the advantage. Yi, who won the United States Snooker Association Tour event at the Embassy Billiards Club last year but was making his debut in the National Championship, got off to a solid start as a run of 42 helped him secure the first frame of the finals to settle his nerves.
