MANILA---SIX Filipino cue masters led by former world champion Carlo Biado remained unscathed in two games to advance into the knock out stage of the money-rich Abu Dhabi Open 9-Ball Championship on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at the Power Break Billiard Hall in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Biado, the 2017 world 9-Ball titlist, raced out to a 5-0 lead before countryman Arnel Bautista could get on the board, and the deficit was too much for the latter to make up. Bautista, now based out of Dubai, got to as close as 8-6 before Biado shut the door, 9-7, in the double knock out event, alternate breaks format offers total pot prize 46,000 AED (United Arab Emirates dirham) with the champion getting the lion share of 20,000 AED (United Arab Emirates dirham).
“I was a bit lucky because my touch didn’t fail me until the last shot,” said Biado, who is fresh from winning the US Open 9-ball Championship last month in the United States.
Joining Biado in the next round were Roland Garcia, Arman Cagol, Jhay Miranda, Israel Rota and Harry Vergara.
Garcia outplayed Aikhouri Ghaith of Jordan (9-1), Cagol edged Jayson Nuguid (9-5), Miranda bested Dominic Reyes (9-7), Rota subdued Aivhan Maluto (9-6) and Vergara defeated Oliver Medenilla (9-6).
In other matches saw Khalid Najib Fattoh of Lebanon smashed Mammoud Fadi of Egypt (9-4) while Ahmad Jallad of Jordan toppled Abdullah Alameri of UAE (9-4).-Marlon Bernardino-
