Davis had previously met Chenier went he was touring in Canada. Chenier took part in the 1950 World Snooker Championship where he reached the semi-finals before losing 43–28 to the defending champion Fred Davis. Chenier also competed in the 1949/50 News of the World Tournament. On 3 February 1950, while playing in an exhibition match against Walter Donaldson at Leicester Square Hall, Chenier made a break of 144, which was a new world record and brought a large degree of recognition for Chenier.[5][6][7] In 1963, he won the World Pocket Billiard Championship and ran the first perfect game of 150 ever registered in that tournament.[3] Whilst in Los Angeles for the 1966 World Pocket Billiards Championship, Chenier suffered a stroke prior to the tournament that affected his speech and the left side of his body. That left him unable to compete for a short time. However in spite of his failing health, he still managed to successfully defend his North American Snooker Championship in April 1970. Chenier died from complications following series of strokes on November 11, 1970. The following year in 1971 he was posthumously inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.[3] Non-Ranking wins: (23)
