from Cagayan de Oro barge into world 10ball R32

MANILA, Philippines
– A pair of unfamiliar Filipino pool players advanced
into the round of 32 in the World Pool Association World
10-Ball Championships Thursday at the Philippine International
Convention Center.
Demosthenes Pulpul narrowly defeated
world women’s champion Jasmin Ouschan of Austria
9-8, and Leonardo Didal came away with a 9-5 win against
Zhang Shu-Chun of China in the afternoon session to
become the first local players to bounce their Round

Pulpul was ready to pack his cue sticks
