ORCOLLO, BIADO OFF TO GOOD START IN BSCP NATIONAL POOL CHAMPIONSHIPS


PhilBoxing.com




Billiard stars Dennis Orcollo and Carlo Biado got off to a blazing start by posting victories at the start of the 2011 BSCP National Pool Championships at the Star Billiards Center in Quezon City on Monday.

The top player of Bugsy Promotions Orcollo, also known as "Robocop," edged veteran campaigner Edgar Acaba, 8-, while fellow Bugsy bet Biado beat John Salazar, 8-7.

Acaba, who led for most part of the match, tied the score at 7-all and had a golden opportunity of completing an upset win by getting the privilege of breaking in the 15th and final rack.

Unfortunately, Acaba scratched the cue ball while going for the break, allowing the current world no.1 Orcollo to run out the table.

?I got lucky he scratched in the final rack. I was struggling the whole game, and was lucky to pull this one off,? said Orcollo, playing under the banner of sportsman/businessman Ceferino "Perry" Mariano.

A strong contender for the World Pool Association Player of the Year award, Orcollo was surprisingly trailing, 3-5, but won four of the next five racks to take the driver?s seat, 7-6.

A dry break in the 14th rack allowed Acaba to get back at the table and level the count at 7-all, setting up an exciting finish until disaster struck in the 15th when he scratched while breaking.

In contrast, Renemar "Revo" David, a former national junior standout, scored the biggest upset win of the day by upsetting former World 9-ball runner-up Roberto "Pinoy Superman" Gomez, 8-7, while Jeffrey de Luna, a perennial contender and the strongest powerbreaker in pool, showed up in tip-top condition by taking three straight matches by beating Mario Tolentino, 8-3, to stay on the winner?s bracket and extend his winning streak to three.

The power breaking De Luna asserted his dominance over Mario Tolentino, 8-3, to stay on the winner?s bracket and extend his winning streak to three.

Also keeping a perfect record were Johann Chua, Ricky Zerna, OFW Allan Cuartero and Rene Cruz.

Chua capped his run of victories with an 8-7 decision over Ramon Mistica.

Zerna also survived Oliver Villafuerte in another hill-hill encounter, 8-7.

Cruz stunned comebacking Leonardo Andam, 8-5, to complete the list of players on the winner?s bracket of the event that attracted 47 participants.

Two notable players also got the early exit door ? reigning national junior champion Jonas Magpantay and veteran campaigner Ramil Gallego.

Relegated to the loser?s bracket early on, Magpantay lost 4-8, to Anjo Huelgas, kissing his hopes goodbye of earning a spot in the World Pool Summit.

Gallego also got the boot, bowing to Reggie Geronimo, 7-8.
