US open Player list? is there one
- Thread starter tonyc
- Start date
New updates to the list but the only Filipino added is Almoite, Ambrosio. Again, where is the six pack listed above?
Also, does anyone know, if Lapena, Albrecht is Filipino?
Al Lapena is filipino but lives in the USA.
I'd be very surprised if Dennis O., Warren K. and Santos aren't there. Dennis wants to win this one badly, and Warren has done well here.
LaPena been living in Jersey for years now......
Thanks Jay.
When you and Ken are doing the draw, give me a call so I can help you place my Filipino squad accurately across the board.
I've heard that Dennis Orcullo will most likely not be going, but it seems like Lee Van Corteza and Warren Kiamco will be registering during the coming days.
I think Fransisco Bustamante, Efren Reyes, Jose Parica and Roberto Gomez will play in a tournament in California just days before the US Open, so weird if FB won't play.
If you were talking about another "killer" from Philippines, Joven Bustamante, I am pretty sure he will not play. FYI, he finished 3rd in the World 8-ball Championship 2 (or 3) years ago.
Orcullo is definitely not in need of backers. If the reason was money, then please wait in line, there are several others wanting to stake him to some tournaments, myself included

lol, I hate laying 2-1 on staking anyone for the cash, but I will stake Dennis in every tournament he wants to play in.

Good news on Bustamente.
I just got word from a reliable source on the reason why Orcullo will most likely not be there. It seems that people in the Bartram camp have threatened Orcullo into not showing up.
They are worried that if CB is within 100 yards of Orcullo, then he will not be able to say NO to another big spot putting his bankroll in jeopardy.

Yeah, the Orcullo-camp mentioned something about a "smooth criminal"
More bad news for you, I was just told that neither Efren or Busta will play. Sorry. You should have made a stipulation in your bet, and asked for odds
Oh well, I still think Alcano or Gomez will take it, and if not, you have Parica and Van Corteza

And Alex.....
Has Barry and the US Open done something to upset the Filipinos? There are more people from Kuwait
entered than the Phillipines. Especially confusing with Efren & Busta already here in the states.

I posted in this thread about a month ago, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is part of the reasons.

Efren is here in the States and he isnt playing in the US Open and he gets a free entry?
Well, atleast Puyat Sports is not going to send him or Django to the Pacman 9-ball event, or the US Open.
I was told that his next fligth was 2nd of November going to Japan.
IF he is in USA for the Pacman 9-ball event, someone else (pacman?) is responsible for it, not his sponsor and businesspartner Puyat Sports.
Sorry -what is the pacman event?
