DOHA — Joshua Filler beat world No. 1 Wojciech Szewczyk 11-9 and Albert James Manas edged Daniel Macioł 11-10 in a hill-hill finish in Thursday's Qatar World Cup 10-Ball semi-finals, setting up tonight's race-to-13 final for the $100,000 top prize.

Filler won on Table 17 and Manas on Table 16 in simultaneous noon starts at the Ezdan Palace Hotel.

The final pairs Filler against Manas tonight at 17:30 Doha time — a race to 13 worth $100,000.

Why it matters: World No. 1 Szewczyk's exit leaves former world champion Filler as the biggest name standing, while Manas — the last Filipino in the field — is one win from the crown after knocking out Macioł on the other table.
