It was another shining moment for veteran cue master Val Arceo as he captured the 4th Annual Ambassador's Cup--Philippine Independence Day Invitational 9-Ball Tournament yesterday at the Carouge Centre de Billard. Besting more than a dozen cue artists which included China’s Han Bin, Cambodia’s Phaly Long, Vietnam’s Tony Truong, and Thailand’s Ken Nanakorn, Arceo led the Philippine team to take the championship and the 2 runner-up positions
For the finals, it was an all-Filipino battle which featured Val Arceo and compatriot Morris Leonor. Leonor started with an all out attack to take an early 3-1 lead. After the 4th rack, Arceo quickly went to work and took the next two racks to equalize the score. From there, Arceo put the icing to the cake with his brilliant safeties and superb pocketing to finish 7-3.
Another Philippine player, Jimmy Menguita dumped Thailand’s Ken Nanakorn 7-2 to grab the 3rd place. It was a lop-sided battle as Menguita took the offensive from the very start and took rack after rack limiting his opponent to winning only 2 racks.
The Philippine Billiard Club-Geneva would like to thank H.E. Ambassador Evan Garcia and Consul General Gary Domingo for donating the trophies. Mabuhay ang Sambayanan !!! Mabuhay ang Kalayaaan !!!
