Elvin was forced to struggle before edging national junior champion Thor Chuan Leong 5-4 in the first semi final while the second semi final saw Patrick crusing with ease, beating Lai Chee Wei 5-1.
Patrick is treating his final game with cautiously.
"Elvin is a tough opponent and I expect a tough fight in the final.
Hopefully I can win a big angpow and celebrate it with my family in my kampung," said Patrick.

And now the inaugural Grand Final, hosted none other then the newly established XZ Club at Petaling Jaya, will promise snooker enthusiats an exciting time.
