GENERAL SANTOS CITY--The favorites continued to stamp their class against local aces sorely lacking in experience and savvy as the MP Cup Philippine Open 10-Ball Championship entered its second day of eliminations Tuesday at the SM City Mall here.
Defending singles champion and World No. 7 Thorsten Hohmann towed other winners and big-name players Shane Van Boening, the world No. 3 from the United States and Mika Immonen of Finland, ranked 16th into the next round.
120 players from 10 countries are still battling it out in the tournament offering $150,000 in cash prizes bankrolled by billiards enthusiast and player and 8-division boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, who is celebrating his 36th birthday on the 17th of December.
Van Boening, traveling to Asia for the first time, had to fight off jet lag with a hard-earned 9-7 victory over local bet Archie Ygloria, in stark contrast to the effortless 9-1 win of compatriot Rodney Morris over Raymond Faraon.
Wednesday's pairings will be harder as Immonen faces unpredictable Antonio Lining and Hohmann taking on the challenge of Arnel Bautista. Ahmad Taufiq battles Alex Lumpay among other featured matches.
Other winners advancing into the next round include Ronnie Alcano, Ramil Gallego, Roberto Gomez, Francisco "Django" Bustamante, among others.
Minor upsets included wins by Jech Lima over Mohammad Zulfikri of Indonesia, 9-6, William Mijares beating Gandy Valle, 9-7, and relatively unknown Edwin Gamas shocking Jordan Legaspi, 9-1.
