Wednesday, August 6, 2008

Dennis “The Robocop” Orcollo seeks to continue his winning streak as the reigning world No. 1 mixes it up with the world's best billiards masters at the Million Dollar 9 Ball Shootout which unfurls Wednesday until August 10 at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA.

Orcollo, a native of Bislig, Surigao del Sur, is coming into the competition after his runner-up finish in the Singapore leg of the Guinness 9-ball tour last week and grand prize win in the inaugural World 9 Ball Open in Qatar last month.

He will be playing under the banner of the Billiards Managers and Players Association of the Philippines (BMPAP). He will be joined in the cash-rich tournament by compatriots Francisco “Django” Bustamante and Marlon “Marvelous” Manalo according to a report from the tournament’s official website yesterday.

Other noted players competing in the Million Dollar 9-Ball Shootout are reigning World 9-Ball champion Daryl Peach of England, event promoter Allen Hopkins, Corey Deuel, Shane Van Boening, Johnny Acher, Dennis Hatch, Evan Broxmeyer, Tony Chohan and Steve Moore of the United States.
