FILIPINO billiards master Efren "Bata" Reyes showed that he still has enough magic tricks left by clobbering American Jayson Shaw, 9-6, to jumpstart his title bid in the 11th Predator International 10-Ball Championships yesterday at the Robinson's Galleria in Ortigas.
Reyes, who won the tournament last year here in Manila, took a bye in the first round of the week-long event that offers $10,000 to the champion.
Sharing the limelight are Ronato "Volcano" Alcano, Ramil "Bebeng" Gallego and youthful RJ Bautista who beat their respective rivals.
Alcano who won by default over Reda Belhaj, 9-0, and edged countryman Johann Chua, 9-8, Gallego routed compatriots Lee Vann Corteza, 9-6, and Jericho Banares, 9-5, while Bautista upset Max Eberle of the United States, 9-6.
Jundel Mazon upset reigning World no.9 ball champion Francisco "Django" Bustamante, 9-3, to arranged a second round showdown with Bautista, a product of National Collegiate Billiards League (NCBL) or much known B-league and member of the PCSO billiards academy.
