Live Action from the Philippines!!! Dennis Orcollo vs Anton Raga race to 25

[Z-Nole]

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.

How old is The youngster? He looks like he’s 15.

I think he's 21 or 22 now.

Damn, Raga is the robocop killer.

Damn, Raga is the robocop killer.

Robocop got his revenge when they played a bigger set, race to 35 for 1 million php (about $20,000 USD).

Here's part 2, part 1 is on the same guy's page. https://www.facebook.com/PinoyPoolMaster/videos/745430952509778/

I didn't really ever think of alt break vs. winner breaks as being a spot, but apparently it is. In winner breaks, Orcullo crushed him.

Technically neither format is a "spot" since there is no inherent advantage to either player (other than who breaks first). Any advantage of one format compared to the other, if there is one, is purely psychological.

In winner breaks, Orcullo crushed him.

The first set to 25 (that Anton won 25-18) was also winner breaks. I believe the match that Anton won a few weeks back was alternate breaks.

He has a nice stroke. Reminds me of Biado's stroke.

They sure don't act like the set was for a million pesos.
