Leonardo Andam just made it to round of 64. He is the 9th Filipino to make it to the next round. Filipinos are doing very well, they now have 9 out 10 who have already played and De Luna and Manalo might join them too assuming they win their current matches. Even if they lose, they still have another chance in a knockout match because they have both won their first games today already. Taiwanese have already lost 3 players so far but it is just Lining for the Filipinos.

Hurray for Andam!! The 'rattlesnake' still has some 'sting' left in him. I hope Andam and Ramil Gallego go far in this tournament. Gallego had a spectacular run in the US Open. Losing his very first match, he won about 12 games in a row in the loser's bracket beating the likes of Efren, Bustamante, Hohmann, Mike Davis, etc. In the current WPC, he won 2 games in a row and gave Chang of TPE who made a name for himself in the Guinness tour, quite a beating.
I am sure that nobody would like to face these 2 old warriors anytime soon.
Earl on the hill. He is about to notch his first win. Montal on the hill too against Hohmann. Manalo starting to pull away at 6-3. Is it bye-bye to Thorsten? Earl will still have a chance if he wins this. He will next face the loser of the Manalo vs Li match in a knockout match. This will be the last match today in the TV table.

Thorsteh Hohmann is OUT. He was beaten by Edwin Montal 9 to 6. Jeff De Luna is making mincemeat out of FU of China. He is currently leading 6 to 0.
Marlon now on top 7 to 3.

Earl has just won his first game. He needs to win his next one against the loser of the Manalo vs Li match. It is now being shown live now on SOPCAST. Marlon was already on the hill 8 to 3 but his opponent is coming back, now 8 to 6 Marlon's favor but Li is on the table.

Manalo and De Luna just won their matches. That makes it 3 out of 3 for the Philippines on Day 3 (including Andam) and 11 out of their 12 players already going to the round of 64. Not only that but all 3 won both of their matches in convincing fashion. How strong is that? Only Luat, Orcullo and Gomez left to qualify for the Philippine team tomorrow.
