FILIPINO Carlo “The Black Tiger” Biado failed to exact vengeance against German Ralf “Kaiser” Souquet in the Philippine Bigtime Billiards (PBB) Face Off Series dubbed as “The Prince versus The Emperor” late Saturday at the PAGCOR Airport Casino in Paranaque City.
The reigning World Pool Masters Champion Souquet asserted his dominance over the 2011 BSCP National Pool Champion Biado, winning, 9-3, in the race-to-9 10-ball affair.
The former WPA World 9-ball and 8-ball champion Souquet pocketed the $5,000 cash purse and kept his bragging rights over the Bugsy Promotions ace Biado.
Souquet defeated Biado in the Guinness 10-ball tour in Jakarta and the Philippine International Open 10-ball Championships in Manila last year.
Mega Sports World General Manager Louis Watts and BRKHRD Corp president Verna Mariano awarded the $5,000 cash purse to Souquet while Jojo Bautista of Pagcor and BRKHRD Corp vice president Manolito “Cocoy” Alano of BAKAS (Bayan Ko ay Sagipin) handed the consolation $2,500 cash prize to Biado.
Another blockbuster match featuring former World 9-ball and 8-ball champion Ronato “Volcano” Alcano against ex-World 9-ball ruler Daryl “The Dazzler” Peach of Great Britain is slated on Nov. 19 and World 9-ball Champion Francisco “Django” Bustamante vs. Peach on Nov. 26. /correspondent MARLON BERNARDINO
