REYES, DJANGO LEAD RP CHARGE IN P2M MANNY PACQUIAO INT'L 9-BALL OPEN


PhilBoxing.com


THE deadly duo of Efren "Bata" Reyes and Francisco "Django" Bustamante will be joined by Ronato Alcano, Dennis Orcollo, Warren Kiamco and Lee Vann Corteza to lead the Philippine charge at the start of the P2 million first ever Manny Pacquiao International 9-Ball Open.

The venue will be the Hobbies of Asia Bldg. in Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City on Oct. 24 to 27 and the payout will be a total pot prize of P2 million with the winner taking away the whopping top prize money of P1 million while the runner-up gets P500,000.

This was bared yesterday by RP's no. 1 trick shot player and tournament director Julie Falcon Guevarra.

"Nag confirm na maglalaro sina Efren (Reyes) at Django (Bustamante) ng Puyat Sports. Sasali din sina Ronnie (Alcano) at Dennis (Orcollo) ng Bugsy Promotion maging sina Lee Vann (Corteza) at Warren (Kiamco) ng Negros Billiard Stable. Lahat kasi sila ay mang-gagaling pa sa US Open then diretso dito sa 1st Manny Pacquiao International 9-ball Open bago maglaro sa World Pool Championships," explained by tournament director Julie Guevarra.

Reyes and Bustamante on the other hand, both prized fighter of RP billiard patron Aristeo "Putch" Puyat, are scheduled to defend their title when the 2007 PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool gets going on September 25 to September 30 at the Outland nightclub in Rotterdam, Holland.

"Di lang sure si Alex (Pagulayan), 'yung mga ganoon na petsa kasi ay parang may commitment s'ya sa abroad. Pero I hope na makalaro siya dito sa Manny Pacquiao International 9-ball Open," Guevarra said.

Tournament director Julie is expecting more than 100 cue artists who will take part in this event that features some of the world's best pool sharks.

"Open sa lahat ito, inaasahan ko na mahigit sa 100 billiard player na mang-gagaling pa sa ibat-ibang panig ng mundo ang sasali. Timing ang date bago mag World pool Championships," he added.

The forthcoming 32nd Annual U.S. Open set on October 14 - 20, 2007. This event will be held again at the beautiful Chesapeake Conference Center, in Chesapeake Virginia while the World Pool championships will return again in our country on November 3 to 11 at the legendary Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City with the champion taking home the lion's share of US$100,000.

Solar Sports, the leading Sports channel will air the Manny Pacquiao International 9-ball Open. Interestingly, Solar Sports also won the rights to air the mega buck fight of Pacquiao vs Barrera on Oct. 6 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It shall be recalled, last December, unheralded Benson Palses won the Manny Pacquiao Panersera-Pababa 10-ball tourney at the Rock and Roll billiard hall in Malate, Manila while Roberto Gomez dominates the Manny Pacquiao 10-ball Open in General Santos City last February.

"Gusto ni Manny (Pacquiao) na Solar Sports ang mag ere ng pa bilyar niya. Actually, tulong ni Manny (Pacquiao) ito sa billiard industry natin, talagang nagpapalaro si Manny (Pacquiao) pagkatapos ng laban niya bilang pasasalamat," last word of Julie.
