Throng Piabi from Cambodia, who came to Korea with an international marriage and conquered the amateur billiards world, will challenge the professional stage in earnest. We practice for 10 hours a day and are preparing for another success story.

Throng Piabi's day starts with a 10kg stone.



In the past 7 years as a billiards player, I have not missed a single day as a billiards player to practice transferring power to a billiard ball drawn on a stone with a cue.



[Slong Piabi/Blue One Resort: (My husband) found this stone in the mountain, but was stung by a bee. I practiced for an hour every day. He is also left-handed.]



Born in a poor potato farm in Cambodia, Piabi set foot on Korean soil through an international marriage in 2010 and started a new life through billiards, which she encountered late.



Pina probably calmed the stage after practice, but after debuting as a professional at the end of last season, it tasted bitter.



I was eliminated in the round of 32 because I couldn't adapt to the ball and the 'four-person group' game method of professional competitions, which are heavier than ever.



In secret tears, Piabi increased the amount of practice before the first full season of the professional stage, which starts next week.



[Slong Piabi/Blue One Resort: If it was 6-7 hours since last year, I thought that I would practice more than 10 hours this time. One cue, one cue becomes life.]



Piabi, who has sent 50,000 masks to Cambodia, where she has not been able to visit for over a year due to the COVID-19 outbreak, wants to deliver the news of her first victory on the professional stage as soon as possible.



[Slong Piabi/Blue One Resort: Winning is just the goal, but I don't think it's better for me to win each game well. I want to show you
