                    [Summary] => Thorsten Hohmann more than held his own against Efren "Bata" Reyes in a duel of World Pool titlists, fashioning out a 7-4 win that sealed a slot in the semifinals of the On Cue 2: Battle of Champions 9-ball Showdown at the Robinson’s Galleria Trade Hall yesterday.


Displaying awesome pocketing, Hohmann defeated Reyes before hundreds of the Filipino idol’s adoring fans in the posh venue and probably millions more tuned in on Studio 23 as the German reigning World Pool champion closed out his stint in the eliminations with a 3-1 win-loss record.

Filipino masters Efren "Bata" Reyes and Francisco "Django" Bustamante were playing Tom Storm and Nick Van Den Berg, respectively at presstime.


Hsia was a late call up after compatriot Ching-shun Yang turned down the offer of a trip to Holland and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
