Actually, he ran a seven pack against Jeong.
 
Sorry guys but can anyone tell me what time it starts tonight. I'm using TVU (Star Sports) but I always seem to miss it. When to they play the re-runs. Last year they played it at night time here (eastern time) and nothing is showing.

Thanks
 
I'm gonna start working on learning those moves in the San Miguel beer commercial. I know I have it in me.
 
It's on right now - 1140 a.m. pacific time, Bustamante and a player named Vaic from South Africa.
 
If you didn't stay up and watch the Deuel - Ortman match, you missed a great one. I think anyone who hasn't seen it should make sure to watch the rerun, if they show it.

Big names impress on Day Two of WPC

A total of 32 players have now earned their positions in the knock-out stages at the 2007
Philippines World Pool Championship.

A further four groups played on Sunday in a total of 40 matches in the $400,000 event.

The most impressive showing of the day came from Francisco Bustamante of Philippines,
who ran seven straight racks against Jeong Young-Hwa of Korea en-route to a 9-0 whitewash.

Also in Group 9, Oliver Ortmann was one of a trio of former champions who made their way
through with 2-0 records, including a superb 9-6 win over American Corey Deuel.

But Deuel (pictured above) was celebrating later in the day as he battled back to eliminate
Filipino Antonio Lining, who had the unwanted record of being the first player from the
Philippines to not make the Last 64.

Another former world champion performing well was Mika Immonen (Finland), who sealed his
passage with an ill-tempered win over America's Jeremy Jones, and the Philippines' Alex
Pagulayan.

Other Filipinos advancing were Ramil Gallego who hammered Asian 9 Ball Tour winner Chang
Jung-Ling of Taiwan 9-1 to be the top seed from Group 7.

Lee Vann Corteza also went through but not before dropping a game to battling Serbian Goran
Mladenovic. The Pinoy star dumped Jeremy Jones out of the competition in the final match
on the Group 12 losers' side.

For Mladenovic it was a day to remember. Following his against-the-odds win over Corteza,
he was well beaten by rising star Karl Boyes of England.

However, he made it through at the last with a gritty showing against Tyler Edey (Canada),
that saw Edey dog a 9 ball to gift the Serb a 9-7 win.

Other notables on their way home include 2004 World Pool Championship runner-up Chang
Pei-Wei (Taiwan) and quality Filipino Antonio Lining.

The remaining 64 players compete on Monday and Tuesday, with the last 64 phase commencing
on Wednesday 7th November.

Taking place over nine days, the event is televised live for over 60 hours by ESPN Star Sports
of Asia and Sky Sports in the UK as well as being available over the internet via this website.

The format is groups of eight players competing in double elimination, with two wins seeing you
through to the next round and two losses spelling defeat.

Play starts tomorrow (Monday) at 3.30pm as a further four groups battle it out.

Among those in action include - Ralf Souquet (Germany), Raj Hundal (England), Thorsten Hohmann
(Germany), Fu Che-Wei (Chinese Taipei), Thomas Engert (Germany), Li He-Wen (China) and the
unpredictable American Earl "The Pearl" Strickland.

Local fans should have plenty to cheer about as Leonardo Andam, Jeff De Luna and Marlon
Manalo are all in action.

Both players had some shining moments. However, each of them did fumble more than once. The win was anybody's several times. Oliver happened to take advantage of a Corey Deuel mishap at the end there, a miss in the side pocket.

On the Accu-Stat ratings, if I had to guess, I've give 'em each a high .800s score, which ain't too shabby. :)
