Thailand's Ken Nanakorn rallied from behind to beat Leo Barroga 7-5 to clinch the 5th Philippine Independence Day's Ambassador's Cup 9-Ball Tournament.. The rookie Barroga quickly took the first three racks leading 3-0. However, the Thai veteran regained control of the table and slowly equalized the score at 5-5. But the last two racks was too much pressure for the rookie Barroga. In several instances, he "chickened-out" and failed miserably to pocket the balls and left the table wide open for Nanakorn to run out. The Thai veteran simply out-gunned him in the last two racks.
Meanwhile, Veteran Val Arceo took the 3rd place. The Philippine Billiard Club of Geneva, the main organizer of the monthly Asian Tours would like to thank the Philippine Mission to the UN, and His excellency, Ambassador Evan Garcia for donating the trophies for this yearly event.
