Jimmy Menguita took his 2nd consecutive cup by beating Raymundo Ruben 6-4 in yesterday’s 11th Asian 9-Ball tournament at the Centre Carougeois de Billard. Menguita, who was last month’s 9th Asian 8-Ball survived the very close neck-to-neck race with veteran player Raymundo Ruben.
It was a very close fight with Menguita winning the opening rack and Ruben tying the score 1-1 in the following rack. Menguita then took the 3rd rack and again Ruben evened up the score at 2-2. The 5th rack was again taken by Menguita, but again the stubborn Ruben again equalized the score at 3-3.
Then again this was repeated as Menguita took the next rack and Ruben scored another equalizer 4-4. But the 9th rack was again taken by Menguita and the in the next rack, Ruben was unable to tie the score as he missed a cut shot on the 9 ball in the corner pocket . Left in the jaws of the corner pocket, Menguita easily pocketed the 9 ball to win 6-4.
Thailand’s Ken Nanakorn took the 3rd place by default as Morris Leonor, who took the 4th place failed to show up at the table.
