Taiwanese rips Orcollo, wins $10,000

-

MANILA, Philippines - Yang Ching-shun beat Dennis Orcollo for the second time and came away with a 50-45 win in Face Off Series 2-One More Time at the Club Capo Exclusive in Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City Wednesday night.

Yang, who opened a 25-19 lead in their two-day duel, fell back by as many as five racks as Orcollo regained his form at resumption of the contest but the Taiwanese ace kept his composure to turn back his Filipino rival and pocket the top $10,000 purse staked in the tournament.

“Luck played a part in my victory. Dennis is a very tough opponent and I really had a hard time beating him,” said Yang.

“I hope to play with him again as it’s really exciting going up against one of the world’s best cue artists.”

Meanwhile, the Club Capo Exclusive will stage another blockbuster match featuring pool icon Efren “Bata” Reyes against fellow Asian pool legend Chao Fong-pang on Oct. 28-29. It has also lined up a match pitting former double world champions Ronnie Alcano and Ralf Souquet of Germany.

The second edition of The Philippines versus the World will be part of the Face-Off Series.
