Pagulayan beat Grover Foster 11-8, to meet Stan Shuffett in Round Four, Corteza nipped Michael Banks 11-4 to face Robb Saez, Kiamco edged Dennis Hatch 11-10 to test the mettle the survivor of Daryl Peach and Hunter Lombardo tussle, Lining routed Basher Hussain Abdulmajeed 11-1 to slug it out with Ralf Souquet and Mazon prevailed over Li Wen Lo 11-6 to meet neither Kevin Bailey and Kenichi Uchigaki who is still playing as of presstime.
Despite the successful games of the five Filipino cue artists backed up by Energen, Kopiko, Negros Billiards Stable and Puyat Sports, the RP contingent also suffered heavy losses.
