Aditya Mehta defeated multiple-time World champion Pankaj Advani 6-2 to win the National snooker championship here.
Mehta, who represented the Petroleum Sports Promotion Board (PSPB) in the clash on Sunday night, started off with a bang after wining the first frame 103-17, with a break of 103.

But, Mehta held his nerve and claimed the following four frames to win the title 6-2.
