The other Filipino tandem in the event, Dennis Orcollo and Ronnie Alcano, were eliminated by the Germans in the semi-finals (9-6). Bata and Django meanwhile survived their match (9-8) against 2007 winners, China’s Li He-wen and Fu Jian-bo to set up the stage for the race to 11 finals.
Bata and Django stormed the finals with a 4-2 lead before the Germans tied it at 5-5 and eventually led by 1.
The Filipinos forced a tie at 6-6 before Souquet made it 8-6 in their favor. However, Efren and Django won five of the last six racks to win the title which they previously won in 2006 against the Americans.
They pocketed $60,000 and put the Philippines on top of the billiard world once again. Congratulations to our Filipino teams.
