Val Arceo nipped Joseph Sycip 5-3 in today's 25th Asian 9-Ball Tournament at the Centre Carougeois de Billard. It was an exciting match as both players were at an even position. The first two racks was won by Sycip as he played flawlessly both in pocketing and positioning of the cue ball. However in the 3rd and 4th rack, Arceo moved in for the kill and evened the score. The 5th rack was again won by Sycip after running out. But in the last two racks, the balls did not seem to cooperate with Sycip and Arceo took advantage of this to nail down his victory.
