Recap
Published July 10, 2026
The tropical setting of Bali, Indonesia provided a stunning backdrop for the 2025 PBC WPA Men's Doubles 10-Ball World Championship, and the Taiwanese pairing of Wu Kun Lin and Hsieh Chia Chen delivered a performance worthy of the occasion. The duo claimed the gold medal at what was part of a broader WPA Triple World Championship Week, an ambitious multi-discipline event that brought the world's best cue sport competitors together under one banner in Indonesia.
Wu and Hsieh navigated the doubles format — a discipline that demands both individual ball-pocketing ability and the kind of communication and chemistry that only comes from genuine partnership — to reach the top of the podium. Their run through the bracket culminated in a championship match victory over a formidable Canadian combination in Alex Pagulayan and John Morra, a pairing that brought considerable individual pedigree to the table. Pagulayan, known on the international circuit for his high-level match play, and Morra, one of Canada's most accomplished tournament performers, pushed deep into the event before falling short in the final.
The runner-up finish for Pagulayan and Morra nonetheless represents a strong result in a world championship field, and the all-Taiwanese versus Canadian final gave the event a genuinely international flavor. The doubles format adds a layer of tactical complexity to 10-ball — players must manage not only their own shot selection but also the table position they leave for their partner, making the winning team's cohesion as important as their individual shotmaking.
The Bali championship week as a whole proved to be a landmark moment for the WPA's global calendar. The 8-ball title at the same venue went to Austria's Albin Ouschan, who defeated Alex Kazakis of Greece in the final, according to the WPA's official event coverage. That result, combined with the doubles 10-ball outcome, underscored the depth of talent assembled across the week's events. The Pro Billiard Series and WPA's decision to consolidate multiple world titles into a single week-long venue appears to have paid dividends in terms of competitive energy and international attention.
For Wu Kun Lin and Hsieh Chia Chen, the gold medal adds their names to the WPA's world champion registry in a discipline that rewards trust and teamwork alongside technical skill. Their victory in Bali is a legitimate world title earned on a global stage, and it places them squarely in the conversation among the top doubles pairings in the professional game. With the WPA continuing to expand its championship footprint across Asia and beyond, performances like this one will only raise the profile of the doubles format going forward.
