MANILA---VETERAN internationalist Chezka Centeno is once again at the top of her game after winning the recently concluded 2022 APF (Asian Pool Federation Ltd) Asian Women's 9-Ball tour at the Aspire Recreation Centre in Singapore, Sunday night.
Centeno showed her never say die spirit by outclassing Seo Seoa of Korea, 11-7, in the finals to win the championship trophy.
A marvelous comeback from a 4-0 deficit to defeat Seo Seoa to take the Asian crown during the inaugural staging of the tournament.
The Zamboanga native also survived from a couple of misses late in the contest. She came from the losers’ bracket. After dropping a 7-6 decision against Jessica Tan of Singapore, Centeno booked her ticket to the knockout stages with wins over Fathrah Masum of Indonesia, 7-1, and Lee Woojin of Korea, 7-3.
By virtue of her title in the competition organized by the Asian Pool Federation, Centeno also earned a spot in the Predator World 10-Ball Championship to be held next month (September) in Austria.
In the men's section, James "Dodong Diamond" Aranas of Bacoor, Cavite grabbed the runner-up honors.
Aranas bowed to Ko Pin Yi of Chinese-Taipei, 11-13, in their recently-concluded championship match.
Aranas, earlier dismantled Duong Quoc Hong of Vietnam, 11-9, in the Round-of-32, Demosthenes "Plong-Plong" Pul-Pul, 11-16, in the Round-of-16 before eking out an 11-2 victory over compatriot Lauro Bongay in the Round-of-8.
In the semifinals, Aranas escaped past Japan’s Naoyuki Oi, 11-6, to arrange a titular showdown with Ko who also beat Filipino Johann Chua, 11-2.
Ko also eliminated another Pinoy tumbok king Anthony Raga in the quarter-finals.-Marlon Bernardino-
