The 29-year-old Manalo trounced Dan Barouty of the US twice, the first a 150-42 win for the hot seat, and the second a 200-123 victory to win the championship worth $5,000 (roughly P280,000), according to AzBilliards.com.

"Anim na break ko, walang nahulog sa butas," said Efren "Bata" Reyes, supposedly one of the country’s brightest hopes for the elusive gold medal.


But it just won’t happen in this Asiad as the 1999 world 9-ball champion failed to get past the semifinal round, losing to Chinese-Taipei’s Hsia Hui-kai, 9-7, Thursday.
