                    [Summary] => Francisco "Django" Bustamante is the last man standing for the Philippines in the World Pool Championship.


Bustamante stayed in the hunt for a return stint in the World Pool Championship final as he beat fellow Filipino pool legend Efren "Bata" Reyes, 11-8, in their Final 16 match at the Cardiff International Arena in Cardiff, Wales.

Banking heavily on his power breaks, Bustamante repeated his Final Eight victory over Reyes last year to advance to the quarterfinals against 11-time European champion Thorsten Hohmann of Germany.

Efren "Bata" Reyes and Francisco "Django" Bustamante arranged a dream match between two of the world’s best cue artists but it came three stages earlier than what many Filipinos, or perhaps the rest of the world, had hoped for.

The two renowned masters of the game beat their respective rivals in varying fashion Thursday to set up a Last 16 match even as qualifier Ramil Gallego continued his giant-killing spree in the World Pool Championship at the Cardiff International Arena in Cardiff, Wales.

Tinalo ni Reyes, na umaasang muling makukuha ang world title na kanyang napanalunan noong 1999, si Johnny Archer ng US.

Lima pang Pinoy ang umusad sa last 32 at ito ay sina Francisco ‘Django’ Bustamante, Lee Van Corteza, Ramil Gallego at Marlon Manalo na nagposte ng lopsided na tagumpay sa kani-kanilang mga kalaban.

Nanatiling malinis sina Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes, snooker ace Marlon Manalo para makasama sa liderato sina Canada-based Pinoy Alex Pagulayan at German Ralf Souquet na may 7-0 win-loss mark.

Ang tanging nakawala sa listahan ng mga Pinoy ay si Ronnie Alcano na hiniya ni Reyes, 5-1.

A day after humbling world No. 1 Mika Immonen of Finland, the 27-year-old Manalo racked up two more victories in varying fashion, the first one a 5-4 thriller of a win over Jeff Kennedy of Canada and the other, a 5-0 rout of Puerto Rican Alan Rolon in Group 5 action.
