Last year at the open a lot of filipinos lost..... Ramiel Gallego got drilled by Mika Immonen playing ten ball, also Shane VB drilled Gallego. Playing 9-ball.
Few years back Alex Pagulyan played Shannon Daulton for $5000.00 and lost..... Shoot Jose Parica has lost so much money to different players... Kevin Bailey from VA got a load of weight from him. And got in his pockets... Efren give Eddie Abraham the 7 and the Break and lost..... Sure these guys were gitting Mountains of weight... But the point is filipinos dont always win,
I saw the Daulton/Alex match, but it was way more than a few years ago unless they played again. I saw them play around 98 at Q-Masters in Va. Beach during the US Open. Alex had already played everyone in the house including I *think* tony watson and some locals and won every match. He finally matched up with Daulton and Shannon had him on the hill in about an hour on a 10 ahead set, Alex got it back to even and they played several more hours before Shannon won... I'm thinking it was 9 hours but I might be wrong.
