I've been hearing about this kid for the past 3-4 years here. Has he ever made it out of PI for to compete in any major tournaments?
 
Thanks for the link, Terry! Nice way to distract me from a day's work.

Raga just won 25-18. Looks like they're starting another set.
 
At this level, I don't think there is any significant difference in skill by these two world beaters. The large difference in score, IMO, is simply the result of psychology. Anton is simply in the head of Dennis right now and it's affecting Dennis' play.
 
Tables have turned for the second set. Dennis is up 25-15, but this set is race to 35.
 
I know it's part of the game in the P I but it seems like they would get a lot of skids from all that chalk on the table from when they mark the table when they are shooting over a ball.
 
I think this is the rematch from the money game ($2500) last Dec22 where Dennis lost 25-21. It was in alternating break format, and there was a racker. Dennis was asking for a rematch for $10k, race to 25 alternating breaks but rack-your-own. They did agree to a rematch but Anton's backers did not agree with the amount of bet. Im not sure about the terms of the game/s today though. I will ask around. :)
 
500,000P is equivalent to $10,000. Alternate break is the handicap Dennis gives Raga, who won't play him winner breaks. Raga is a Tier One player over there, the top of the line in the Philippines and only seven or eight players usually get this distinction.
