Val Arceo nips Morris Leonor 7-6, conquers 21st Asian 9-Ball Finals

Val Arceo shows his winning form at the finals of the 21st Asian 9-Ball Tournament


The 21st Asian 9-Ball ended with a bang as Val Arceo nipped Morris Leonor 7-6 in a sudden death hill-to-hill final rack. Arceo easily gained the upper hand in the early racks in an all-out offensive onslaught and quickly taking the lead 3-0. But Leonor came back from behind slowly chipping off Arceo's lead and forcing a tie at 6-6. The hill-to-hill drama ended with Leonor missing on the 4 ball and Arceo taking advantage and running out to finally nail his victory.


The 3rd place went to Thailand's Ken Nanakorn as he easily demolished Ruben Zaballa 7-4. Nanakorn took the early lead and held on the lead until the final rack.


The Philippine Billiard Club- Geneva, would like to thank the players, fans, supporters for a sucessful tournament. We hope to see you again next month for the annual Philippine Independence Day-The 5th Ambassador's Cup, an Asian invitational 9-Ball Tournament that will be held on 5 June 2011.
