Rubilen Amit captured her second gold in grand fashion, blanking Malaysias Suhana Dewi B Sablu, 11-0, in the finals of womens 9-ball pool singles of the 23rd Southeast Asian Games at the Makati Coliseum yesterday.
The 24-year old Amit simply dominated her Malaysian opponent in their race-to-11 finals at the close of the billiards and snooker competitions.
"Im really happy with this win. And we really appreciate the support given us by our countrymen throughout the competitions," said Amit.
She earlier won the womens 8-ball pool singles gold two days ago to cap a splendid show by the RP billiards team in the Games, finishing with eight golds to go with two silvers and one bronze.
