Jaroslav Polach from Komarno won the Slovak-9-Ball Dynamic Billard Best of the East.
"I am satisfied with my play. I won the group with a good result of 15-4. The final day was also packed with high-quality matches. I faced a legend of Polish billiards, Wojciech Trajdos,
and defeated Mariusz Skoneczny, who is one of the strongest players participating in this cycle. And even despite the unfavorable score in the final, I managed to endure it mentally and turn the tide of this rivalry. I am tired but very happy," Polach summarized right after the match.
Final Standings (Podium):
- 1st place: Jaroslav Polach (Slovakia)
- 2nd place: Petr Urban (Czechia)
- 3rd place (ex aequo): Kristian Mrva (Slovakia) & David Zalman (Czechia)

The winner completed the tournament in Bratislava richer by 1,300 euros, a trophy, and a professional Cuetec cue. The silver medalist received 900 euros, as well as a high-quality Cuetec case. Polach won a gold medal after 20 years of competing in the Dynamic Best series.

In the semifinals, the Slovak veteran dismissed the Czech David Zalman, defeating him 7-1. Therefore, the grand finale saw a clash between the host representative Jaroslav Polach and the excellently disposed Czech Petr Urban. The deciding clash perfectly summarized the level of the entire tournament – the fate of the title had to be decided by a thriller in the final, thirteenth rack. Polach handled the war of nerves in the decider better, winning the entire match 7-6 and keeping the main trophy in Slovakia.
The organizers express their sincere thanks to all the players, the Slovakian Billiard Federation, Lavos club for their professional hospitality, and the fans for extensively following the television broadcast and live results on the Tvsports platform.

Jaroslav Polach triumfuje w Bratysławie. Historyczne podium Best of the East.
W miniony weekend słowacki klub Lavos w Bratysławie stał się stolicą europejskiego bilardu. Drugi tegoroczny turniej z cyklu Dynamic Billard Best of the East przyciągnął na start kilkudziesięciu zawodników z różnych zakątków Starego Kontynentu, gwarantując wysoki poziom sportowy i emocje do ostatniej partii. Najlepszy w tej stawce okazał się Słowak, Jaroslav Polach. Na ten sukces czekał 20 lat.

Imprezę rozpoczęła walka o futerał na kije Cuetec. Trzech wylosowanych zawodników miało szansę zrobić partię z kija i wygrać nagrodę wartą ok. 400 euro. Niestety nikt tego nie dokonał.
Zebranych powitał prezes EEBC – dyrektor cyklu Marcin Krzemiński w asyście wiceprezesa EE BC Samuela Koniara, dyrektora EEBC Alexandru Balas oraz prezesa Słowackiego Związku Bilardowego Lukasa Kovaca.
