Orcollo, 3rd lang sa The Million Dollar 9-Ball shooutout

-

Nabigo si World No.1 Dennis Orcollo na masustina ang mainit na pananalasa nang yumuko ito kay dating world 10-ball champion Shane Van Boening, 13-8 sa semi-finals ng The Million Dollar 9-Ball Shootout sa Valle Forge Convention Center sa Penn-sylvania sa Amerika.

Dahil sa kabiguang ito ni Orcollo, nabigo din ang Pinoy na kanyang ikaapat na korona at makuntento na lamang sa premyong $10,000 at sosyo sa third place na tinapos kasama ang kababayang si Francisco “Django’ Bustamante na natalo kay American Corey Deuel, 13-6, sa isa pang Final Four match.

TInalo naman ni Van Boening si Deuel, 13-7, sa finals upang pagharian ang 12-man, five-day event at ibulsa ang halagang $20,000. Naisubi naman ni Deuel ang $12,000 runner-up purse.

“Sayang, hindi ako inayu-nan ng bola,” ani Orcollo, na nauna nang nagwagi sa  Quezon City 9-Ball Champion-ship,  Japan Open at Qatar International 9-Ball tilt.

Ang kanyang susunod na laban ay sa US sa International Challenge of Champions, sa $50,000 winner-take-all event  na tatampukan ng walong pinaka-mahuhusay na players ng mundo sa August 14 at 15 sa Mohegan Sun Casino sa Uncasville, Connecticut.
