Roberto Gomez
If I remember correctly, Roberto Gomez was the number 1 ranked player after the group elimination stage in last year's WPC. He was number 1 among the last 64 players. He beat Corey Deuel and other players to make it number 1 in his group with no defeats.
As a 'reward' for his efforts though, he had the misfortune of having his very first knock-out match against the player who was seeded as number 64, Ronnie Alcano and the rest is history.
Based on what I have been hearing about him, he is a pretty dangerous player so Neisl Feijen will have his hands full trying to beat him.

Andam Breaks Taiwanese Stranglehold
Veteran Leonardo "Dodong" Andam nicknamed "The Rattlesnake" showed
he still had some venom in his cue stick when he overcame a tough field in
the sixth qualifier to book a place in the 2007 World Pool Championships
which opens on Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum, the renowned "Mecca"
of Philippine sports and entertainment.
The 47 year old Andam joined Alwi of Indonesia who won the sixth qualifier
to break the stranglehold of the machine-like Taiwanese who had won
three of then four previous qualifiers and relegated the hometown favorites
to the spectators gallery. Coincidentally, Alwi is also named "Dodong."
But Andam corrected the seeming anomaly when he bested a field of 84
with a super display of skill and coolness under pressure even when all
seemed lost. Down in a clash with fellow Filipino Elvis Calasang who rocked
and rolled to a 6-3 lead, Andam clawed back in a classic display of pool
that had the fans at the Star Billiards Center gasping in awe to win 7-5.
Facing young Jherome Pena who gave snooker ace Steve Davis a run for
his money in last year's round of 32, eventually losing 8-10, Andam
demonstrated his superb positional play, exquisite safeties and perfect
positional play to rout Pena who could merely sit and watch in amazement
as the veteran ran out rack-after-rack in effortless fashion 9-4.
Alwi showed he was not afraid of the reputation of the Taiwanese when he
beat two of their aces - Kung-Fang Lee in the semi finals 7-5 and followed
it up with a 9-7 win over Hung-Hsiang Wang in the finals.
Andam, a part-time fisherman in Mindanao, finished 65th in last year's
World Pool Championship and is perhaps best remembered for his four gold
medals in the 1991 Southeast Asian Games. He also won the "Match of the
Masters" International 9-ball championships in 2000 and was first runner-up
in the Philippine International Open 9-Ball Championship in 2005.

Hey guys, have you read this article before?
Makisig TV launches four big international pool events
Manila, Philippines---Four big 9-ball events headlined by the Philippines'
best have been lined up starting the first quarter of next year after Makisig
Network and Bugsy Promotions inked a pact recently.
Reigning double world champion Ronnie Alcano will banner the Philippine
charge in at least three of those events that will carry handsome purses as
Makisig, which was launched two weeks ago, threw in its hat in the pool
arena.
A regional showdown, ala "The Contender" format on television, will most
likely be the first project. This will pit five bets from Luzon slugging it out
with five from the Visayas in a virtual reality series aired live by Makisig
over Skycable and IBC13.
The second endeavor will be Alcano vs Wu Chia-Ching, the youthful former
world champion from Taiwan as they clash in a one-day classic for the
right to be named world champion.
After this, a made-for-television event will be held as a challenger to the
winner of that match will be determined, making for interesting jockeying
for position among the contenders in the globe.
Two more full-field events will also be held and beamed worldwide through
Makisig Network and the international television channel.
"This is just our small way of making the dreams of our countryman
happen, and that is to get the most exposure in pool as possible," said
Makisig chairman Hermie Esguerra. "The Filipino is a world power in the
sport, let's harness it."

LATEST: Gomez wins seventh qualifier
Filipino Roberto Gomez has qualified for the 2007 Philippines World Pool
Championship.
Gomez defeated Lee Kun-fang (Chinese Taipei) 9-5 to take the seventh
qualifying spot out of the ten available.
The Filipino player, who made his debut in the 2006 competition, narrowly
missed out on qualifying earlier this week when he lost in the semi-finals of
the third qualifier on Sunday.
But this time he was the one celebrating after his victory at the Star
Billiards Center in Quezon City, Philippines, over Lee, the 1997 World Pool
Championship runner-up.
In the main 2006 event, Gomez enjoyed a fine opening phase as convincing
victories against John Wims (Ireland), Masaaki Tanaka (Japan) and Corey
Deuel (USA) saw him finish top of his group and qualify for the Last 64 with
the best record out of any player.
His 8-2 triumph over Deuel was particuarly impressive, especially as the
American then won the Most Valuable Player award in the 2006 Mosconi
Cup one month later.
Unfortunately for Gomez, he then ran into Ronnie Alcano, who had
mastered the use of the soft break, and Alcano completed a convincing
10-1 victory on the second television table.
This year's main event begins on Saturday, November 3 but Gomez will not
be in action until Tuesday, November 6 when he meets Holland's Niels
Feijen, in what promises to be a cracking affair.
Group 16 is now...
A. Niels Feijen (Holland), B. Daryl Peach (England), C. Rodolfo Luat
(Philippines), D. Dharminder Singh Lilly (India), E. Charles Bryant (USA), F.
Toh Lian Han (Singapore), G. Matjaz Erculj (Slovenia), H. Roberto Gomez
(Philippines).

LATEST: Another Chinese Taipei man in
Chinese Taipei continued their stranglehold over the 2007 qualifiers as
another of their players has made the 2007 World Pool Championships.
Chang Yau-Mau defeated countryman Chu Hung-Ming 9-6 in the final of
the eighth qualifying tournament, held at the Star Billiards Center, Quezon
City, Philippines.
It means that four of the eight spots so far contested have gone to
players from Chinese Taipei, but a further six players from that country
have also been defeated in the final matches.
With only two tournaments left, a number of Chinese Taipei men are high
up on the points table, and may have a chance to step in if any of the
people in the main tournament drop out.
Chang, who will be making his World Pool Championship debut, has a
difficult task as he becomes Player H in the tough-looking Group 13.
His first match will be on Tuesday afternoon against American Shane van
Boening, the winner of the 2007 US Open earlier this month.
Group 13 is now...
A. Shane van Boening (USA), B. Dennis Orcollo (PHI), C. Marcus Chamat
(SWE), D. Pat Holtz (SCO), E. Wojciech Trajdos (POL), F. Satoshi
