Dennis Orcullo in Derby City Classic

[f210]

According to these articles, he is participating in all 3 divisions namely one-pocket, banks and 9-ball plus the ring games. I am not sure about the banks and 1-pocket but I bet he is a strong contender in the 9-ball category. In a recent special money-game mini-tournament held earlier this week, he retained the Philippine 'money game' king title by prevailing over a very strong field consisting of Efren, Busta, Alex Pagulayan, Alcano and Corteza.

Here are the articles:

WOW! Can you imagine how strong he has to be playing right now? I'm happy for him. Feel a little bad for who draws him...

Great!! I will probably draw him first round!!! I need to have all the luck in the world to win a game or two against the average joe, let alone these pros. It will all be worth it, though. I will just be happy getting to play in the same field as these people. I really am not worthy!!! Just a few weeks away now. I can't wait.

For the Filipino posters here, how is Dennis at one-pocket or banks? I know he is good at 9ball but what about these 2 other games? Also, the news article also said he is joining the 'ring' games. Any confirmation of this from the organizers? I do not trust the accuracy of these write-ups.

Do we already have the final line-up of the players for the ring games? Is Efren Reyes going to be there this year?
