Val Arceo lambasts Morris Leonor 5-3 , wins 6th All Asian 8 Ball Tournament

After bagging last month’s 7th All Asian 9-Ball Tournament, Philippines’ Val Arceo continued his winning streak as he lambasted his compatriot Morris Leonor 5-3 to capture the 6th All Asian 8-Ball Tournament at the Centre Carougeois de Billard..

Leonor gained the early lead as he took control of the early rack. Arceo fought it out and from then on it was a tit-for-tat battle until the 6th rack as both were tied with 3 racks each. But in the final 7th and 8th racks, Arceo came all out in both his offensive and defensive plays, pocketing and positioning his balls with perfect accuracy to bring home the crown.

In the other finals match, Vietnamese Tony Truong clobbered Japan’s Yoshi Hasegawa 5-1 to finish with 3rd place. Truong showed his superiority in the lop-sided match as he easily took control of the match rack after rack.
