OKBET Cue Sports News, Wonder child AJ Manas finishes his Bacolod billiards tournament run on a good note. Following in the footsteps of pool great Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes and veteran Warren Kiamco, emerging teen phenom AJ Manas aspires to make the national team at OKBET Cue Sports News.
BACOLOD, Philippines — AJ Manas, the 15-year-old Antipolo City player who defeated famous Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes on Wednesday, October 5 at the OKBET Cue Sports News, came to an end Thursday afternoon, October 6, during the 1st Mayor Albee Benitez MassKara Billiards competition in Bacolod City.
Manas was eliminated in the round of 16 by Jundel Mazon, the previous Guinness World Series of Pool 10-Ball Challenge winner from 2010 at OKBET Cue Sports News. After defeating national team star Warren Kiamco, 8-7, in the round of 32 on Thursday morning, the rising adolescent remained happy. “Talo, panalo, may aral kang makukuha (Win or lose, you learn something),” Manas said after the game to reporters.
He said that playing alongside legends and peers he admires motivates him to achieve better. Before taking on Reyes, Manas knocked off another billiards champion at the OKBET Cue Sports News, Jerico Banares, in an earlier game. Manas’ inexperience boosted his enthusiasm.
According to tournament organizers, this is AJ’s first open/professional tournament and just his fourth competition in his career, after three amateur tournaments. At an interview, AJ said that he began playing billiards at the age of seven in his grandfather’s Antipolo establishment in the OKBET Cue Sports News. The young athlete aspires to be a member of the national team so that he may “travel the world” and, ultimately, aid his family.
The 64-knockout game between Manas and Reyes was “full of suspense,” according to local journalist Junel Ray M. Britanico, however it was not the only upset of the day. Dennis Orcollo, the fifth-ranked billiards player in the nation, was also ousted by Cebuano pride, Boots Augusto, in a close encounter that finished 8-7.
Manas quickly jumped up to a three-game lead. “There was hush in the atrium as Reyes took his turn to cue the ball, and every missed stroke the champ made was greeted with a surprised response from the spectators at the OKBET Cue Sports News.” “However, Reyes, also known as ‘The Magician,’ cheerfully laughed off every mistake he made,” Britanico remembered.
Britanico said that Reyes was four balls away from winning the game when he missed a corner shot on the tenth ball, therefore ending his tournament run and the opportunity to win the P350,000 grand prize.
Finally, “even Reyes appeared stunned by the decision as he walked away from the table, apparently sad.” “However, after a time, he returned to his chair to meet admirers, sign autographs, and take photographs with them,” Britanico continued at the OKBET Cue Sports News. Thousands of people shared and commented on the news of Manas defeating Reyes.
Many remarked that even Reyes’s magic could not last forever, yet they provided solace and pledged to remember him as “The Legend. Manas, too, was taken aback. “It was a privilege to play against a legend at the OKBET Cue Sports News.” “I want to learn from him eventually,” he remarked. “I have been studying him attentively and like him, whenever I play, I do not hurry, I think of my plays and I concentrate in between pauses,” he said.
Johann Chua, a gold and silver medalist at the most recent Southeast Asian Games and one of the players that advanced to the quarterfinals, acknowledged Manas’ abilities and urged him to keep training and competing in future events at the OKBET Cue Sports News. “Billiards is a very tiny world.” It’s enlightening for us to compete against the masters. “It is the ideal approach to improve one’s talents,” Chua remarked.
