MANILA, Philippines – Nagtala ng tatlong sunod na panalo sina dating world champion Alex Pagulayan at reigning Villar Cup titleholder Roberto Gomez kahapon upang makapasok sa knockout stage ng 9th Annual Predator International 10-Ball Championship na ginaganap sa Riviera Hotel and Casino sa Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ipinagpatuloy ni Pagulayan ang kanyang pananalasa nang kanyang paluhurin si veteran internationalist Mike Davis, 10-3, at dinimolisa naman ni Gomez si Charlie Bryant, 10-1 para makasama sa Last 32 via the winners’ bracket sa prestihiyosong event na ito na hatid ng Dragon Promotions.
