  • Filipino pool legends were upset by Japanese in quarterfinal round

    Former World Pool Power the Philippines easily disposed of Norway, 4-0, but dropped a heartbreaking 7-5 loss to Japan in a shootout and bowed out in the quarterfinal round of the World Pool Team Championships in China late Wednesday.

    That was a biggest upset in the World of Pool

    It was a sorry setback for the Filipinos, made up of Efren “Bata” Reyes, Francisco “Django” Bustamante, Dennis Orcollo and Rubilen Amit, who appeared headed for a big comeback after trailing the Japanese, 1-3, in the early going of their quarters duel and forcing a sudden death shootout.

    The shootout went back and forth and was tied at 3, 4 and 5 but Reyes missed on his turn, enabling Japan, composed of Yukio Akagariyama, Toru Kuribayashi, Naoyuki Oi and Chihiro Kawahara, to pound out a 7-5 decision.

    The Filipinos settled for $12,000.

    With the win, Japan moves up to face China 2, which beat Canada, 4-2, while Chinese-Taipei, routed Swedem, 4-1, to take on defending champion Great Britain, which nipped China 1, 6-3, in a shootout, in the other semis clash.

    Reyes is already G.O.A.T. in pool but he is getting older, he trying his best, challenges recent pool generations.
