Alcano beats Slivka 11-1 and other updates
- Thread starter f210
- Start date
Cortezza, Gabica, and Valle are still alive on the losers side...Alcano and Luat are going strong on the winners side.
Wouldn't it say something if the Filipinos go 1-2-3 like last year, but this time with their 2nd-3rd string players?
Though, still a long way to go in this tourney.

Anyone know how Jason Klatt is doing against Immonen? I'm hoping he can keep it going. Erik Hjorleifson went as far as 9-12 two years ago and I'd love to see a similar showing from this kid from Winnipeg as well. He is one to keep an eye on in the future. He recently won the Canadian 8-ball championships, and has already done well at the Open. It's strange to think that just a few years ago I always went easy on him, cuz I felt bad for beating a little kid. lol Now I'd get my butt handed to me by this guy.
van van beat mccreesh 11 to 1... then later tonight at q-masters ran over kuo for 2000. the guy is sick...

Lee Van Cortezza appears to be the next Marlon Manalo and Dennis Orcollo. This is his very first tournament in the USA and yet he is doing excellent after the preliminary rounds jitters. Who are they going to come up with next year?
The Philippines has such a deep bench that even though the top guns are not present, their 2nd to 3rd rate players are at par or even better than the other top ranked players from the rest of the world.
That is why I have always said that the Filipinos are stronger than the Taiwanese. Aside from Chao, all the rest like Kuo, Chang, Yang and even the current world champion WU are only good when they are battling in their home yard.

I hate to rub it in to Ryan, but he made fun of Kuo for losing 11-4 to Slivka. Now Ryan loses 11-1. Hmmm....
