MANILA, Philippines – Filipina cue artist Rubilen Amit ended with a 4-1 record to advance to the next round of the Yalin Women’s World 10 Ball Championship on Saturday, November 2, at Resorts World Manila.
However, Amit fell one rack short of her last game to gain an outright spot in the Top 16.
Amit lost to Taiwanese competitor Ho Yun Tan, 2-6, to settle for second place in Group 5. The top player in each group advances to Round of 16 while the 2nd and 3rd placers will settle for a knockout match before entering the Sweet 16.
Amit actually took the 2-0 lead but a crucial miss on an open 9 ball in Rack 3 paved the way for Ho’s comeback, taking the final 6 racks.
“Nakakapanghinayang; kung napasok ko pala ‘yun, top seed ako,” Amit said after the match. (I’m disappointed. If I made the 9 ball, I could have been the top seed.)
Pressure is now on the side of Amit, being the last Filipina standing in the 48-player tournament.
Her fellow compatriots Iris Ranola, Gillian Go, and Cheska Centeno were all booted out of the tournament.
“Nakaka-pressure din kasi ako na lang ‘yung Pilipino; ipaglalaban mo ‘yung bansa mo.” (There’s pressure because I’m the only Filipino left and you have to fight for your country.)
The knockout stages begin on Sunday, November 3. – Rappler.com
