One of the biggest surprises of this year’s WPA Men’s World 10-Ball Championship has been the resurgence of Filipino Alex Pagulayan.
After using a powerful break to easily defeat reigning Alfa Las Vegas Open champion Wiktor Zielinski in his first-round match Tuesday morning, the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Famer then bested Peru’s Gerson Martinez Boza the following day, 8-5. Thursday morning, the former World 9-Ball champion punched his ticket to the single-elimination final 32 portion of the event, gutting out another 8-5 victory over Petri Makkonen of Finland at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
