Efren ?Bata? Reyes, acknowledged as the greatest pool player of all-time and one of the most humble athletes the Philippines has ever produced, hangs on to the No.1 spot in the race for the IPT Tour Viewers Choice Ultimate 8-Ball Challenge on April 29 in the US.
Reyes who has banked on the wholehearted support of the fans of philboxing.com of journalist Dong Secuya in recent days leads the standings with 23.84 percent of the votes cast with American teenager Austin Murphy who surged into the lead for a brief moment from out of nowhere, is a close second with 23.12 percent.
Early leader Vilmos Foldes has dropped to third with 16.74 percent as his own campaign supported by a top Hungarian pool site lost steam.
Today is the last day for voting and it would be most welcome if the philboxing.com fans rally around Reyes with one final surge that would ensure his place in the Challenge Match showdown race-to-fifteen.
