Makaraang ang mahabang panahong paghihintay, umiskor ng dalawang sunod na panalo si Kiamco kontra sa kababayang si Francisco ‘Django’ Bustamante at ibigay sa sarili  ang pagkakataong wakasan ang mahigit isang taon na pagkauhaw nang makarating ito sa San Miguel Asian 9-Ball tour kickoff leg final sa Pool Haven.
