Morris Leonor receiving the Championship trophy at the Centre Carougeois de BillardMorris Leonor of the Philippines started the year 2010 like a roaring tiger as he devoured Tony Truong of Vietnam 7-3 in today’s finals of the 10th Asian 9-Ball Tournament at the Centre Carougeois de Billard, at the old town of Carouge in Geneva.
The Filipino veteran player went into an early offensive to take the first 2 racks. Not to be outdone, the cue master from Ho Chi Minh City fought back and equalized the score at 2-2. Then the next rack went to Leonor. Again, Truong retaliated by tying the score 3-3. However, the next 4 straight racks was taken by Leonor as he took control of the table with his perfect ball positioning, precise pocketing and defensive safeties.
In the contest for the 3rd and 4th place, it was a heartbreak neck-to-neck battle between two Filipino billiard buddies. Val Arceo nipped Jimmy Menguita 6-5 in an exciting tit-for-tat battle. In the end, the pool gods gave the good rolls to Val Arceo as he pumped in the last few balls plus the 9 ball to inch his way past Menguita.
