Alcano arrived yesterday from Dubai, UAE where he beat buddy Dennis Orcollo for the crown worth P1.2 million.
"I’ll save the money in the bank," said the soft-spoken cue artist, who also won $100,000 when he beat German ace Ralf Souquet in the final of the World 9-ball Pool Championship last November.
Meanwhile, Alcano said he is also set to receive a Toyota Innova car today, courtesy of Purefoods.
In the Japan Open, Alcano is again expected to run into a slew of top Filipino players, including defending champion Antonio Lining, who beat compatriot Don Don Razalan in the final of last year’s championship. – Rudy Santos
