MANILA, Philippines - Warren Kiamco joined Efren “Bata” Reyes, Roberto Gomez and Dennis Orcullo in the Asian Games team as he topped the Asiad 9-ball qualifier at the Rizal Memorial Billiards Center in Malate last Wednesday.

Kiamco pulled off a thrilling 15-14 victory over former double world champion Ronnie Alcano in the finals to clinch the Asiad berth staked in the qualifier organized by the Billiards and Snooker Congress of the Philippines.

Kiamco was actually in control of the race-to-15 match when he surged to a 14-7 lead in the winner’s break format. But Alcano rallied by taking the next seven racks to force a hill-hill game.
