Galve drew an 11-10 victory in their race-to-eleven series, alternate breaks format to take home the P200,000 top purse while Aranas, settled for the runner-up purse of P100,000.
Tied at 10-all, the 34-year-old Galve went on 2 balls and 10 balls combinations to finish off.
On the road to finals, Galve defeated Horace Angor, 9-5, in the round of 16, Carlo Biado, 10-6, in the quarterfinals, and Dean Mark Castronuevo,11-9, in the semifinals to arrange a titular showdown with Aranas, who brought down Marvin Assis, 9-3, Jolo Aspura, 10-4, and Efren "Bata" Reyes, 11-2, respectively.
Reyes eliminated last year's champion, Johann Chua, 10-6, in the quarterfinals while Chua ousted Dennis Orcollo, 9-7, in the round of 16.
