Gary Stafford was crowned Autumn Grand Prix Series champion after he beat Danny Smith in the final.
The unseeded Stafford overcame Mike Gillet 3-2 in the first round before beating Jack Marriner 3-1 in the last-eight.
Those wins set him on the way to glory and he eased to a 3-0 win over Dale Masterman in his semi-final.
Second-seed Smith provided the opposition in the final but Stafford proved too strong, winning 4-2 to pocket the £320 top prize .
Smith had previously beaten Martin Stead 3-2 in the semis.
Earlier in the competition he negotiated a route past Bob Crawley, 3-2 in the quarters, and John Gibson, 3-1 in the first round.
Top-seed Andy Jenkins was knocked out in the last eight, going down 3-1 to Masterman.
Stead beat Paul Gibbs by the same margin in the other last-eight battle.
Ricky Williams, Jon Bramble, Sam Head, Adam Lipscombe, Mason Riou and Steve Jannaway were first-round victims.
Mick Street won the series plate contest, with a 2-0 victory over Shayne Daughtrey in the final.
Street had previously enjoyed 2-0 whitewashings of Gary Smith in the semi-finals and Stefan Evrard in the last eight.
Daughtrey also won his last-four tie 2-0 against Colin Littlecott, after a 2-1 quarter-final win against Ivan Lowden.
Jane Monaghan and Keith Hopper were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Monaghan still had cause to celebrate, though, as she won the ladies’ title by beating Sam Pike 2-0.
The Portsmouth ace will make her 100th Hampshire appearance when she lines up to face Nottinghamshire on January 19-20.
Fareham’s Steve Musson will be celebrating his own century of appearances as he also reaches the milestone.
