Wow! Not a bad pay day if it's around $20K...Thank you for the info Masayoshi
... Anyone know what the payout is for the champion?
Ralf is one of the best tournament players in pool history, but I simply can't stand watching him play. It took him 6 minutes to shoot a fairly trivial safety. I know he was looking whether the combination was on or not, but come on.
Japanese events tend not to list the payout, but past years have been Around 2.3 million yen, with the recent weak yen, that would be roughly $20,000.
He beat De Luna too on the same trip to Cebu with Alcano.
Just an update - this 17 year old beat alex yesterday 17-5.![]()
What is the name of this 17 year old kid and when will we see him play in the USA? Aside from Alex Pagulayan, who are the top PI players he has beaten?
anthony raga or "anton raga." he's beaten jeffrey ignacio 3 times (race to 21) and ronnie alcano, no handicap. he's beaten jericho banares giving jericho 9-10 handicap. dennis always gave him 9-10 handicap, but dennis never won against this kid. someone is setting an even match between him and dennis this december.

an update on this kid. he beat Alex Pagulayan last week in 3 matches. scores were 17-5, 21-14 and 21-14 no handicap.![]()
arps can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he was referring to Faraon, but rather Anton Raga, who is 17.What game were they playing?
I just tried to find Faraon's age. One article said he is 26. Does that sound correct as far as you know?

Wow, that indeed is impressive for a 17 year old. Is this kid (Anton Raga) participating in the Manny Pacquiao tournament?
Ruben Bautista (HT finalist) is in the Philippines right now as a guest to Raga's financer. He says he saw this kid run 15 balls 7 consecutive times. He was impressed.
He is actually in the tournament, he lost to Thorsten though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKtK_ROpmu4
