Action from the $200,000 WPA World 9-ball Championship under way at Al Arabi Stadium in Doha. The second stage and final stage of the championship began on Saturday with 128 best players from the world, drawn from 40 countries vying for the coveted crown. The winner of the 2015 World 9-ball Championship will receive $30,000. The runner-up will get $15,000. The players have been divided into 16 groups of 8 playing a race-to-9, alternate break, double elimination format.
