Jose Amang Parica Wins AZ State One Pocket Championship!

Congratulations to Filipino pool player Jose Amang Parica for winning the 2011 Desert Classic Tour’s Arizona State One Pocket Championship, held at Kolby’s Corner Pocket in Tempe, Arizona! Yes, you read right, friends! The Great Amang has added another trophy to his endless string of career wins! And I kid you not!

From AZ Billiards:

Jose Parica is widely known in the pool world as "The Leader of the Invasion" as he was the first Filipino player to bring their pool playing abilities to the US. Over the weekend of June 18th and 19th, it was Arizona that Parica was invading to show off his one pocket abilities at the Desert Classic Tour's Arizona State One Pocket Championship, held at Kolby's Corner Pocket in Tempe, Az.

One Pocket is a very popular game at Kolby's, due in part to the efforts of former Derby City One Pocket Champion Scott Frost and "Preacher" Ronn Rutan; so it was no surprise to see a field of 31 players at the event.

As the tournament chart would have it, Parica faced off against Frost in the second round of the event. The match went hill-hill with Frost coming back from a 2-0 deficit, only to lose the case game to Parica.

After the win over Frost, Parica would cruise on to the hot-seat match where he faced young gun Bobby Emmons. Emmons has never met a shot he doesn't like, and it showed in their match as Emmons "fired at will", making shots from everywhere on the way to a quick 3-1 win.

Meanwhile, Frost was in unfamiliar territory as he made his way through the one loss side of the brackets. Nevertheless, he still found his way to a rematch with Parica in the semi-finals. To Frost's dismay, he would not be winning this State Championship as Parica sent him to the rail with a 3-0 scoreline.

The final match between Parica and sharpshooting Emmons started out with Emmons still in gear and making balls from everywhere to take a quick 1-0 lead in the extended race to 5. After that first game, the pool gods turned their back on Emmons and those shots that he liked earlier in the day showed that they weren't as friendly with the title on the line. Emmons missed a couple of shots and that was all the pool veteran Parica needed to take control of the match. From that point, Parica put on a clinic in One Pocket tactics and Emmons found himself falling deeper and deeper behind. Five games later, it was Parica with the 5-1 win and yet another Championship to add to his impressive resume.

Parica pocketed $1045 for first, while Emmons settled for $605. Frost won $300 and Rutan won $175 for fourth.

Mabuhay ka Amang!

"Respect for the Great One! The AnitoKid!"

World 9-Ball Championship Qatar, Doha 2011 Graphic

Filipino pool player Ronnie Alcano will try to become the first Filipino to win a triple crown in billiards when he competes in the 2011 World 9-Ball Championship in Doha, Qatar, on June 25 to July 2, 2011. Alcano, aka The Volcano, is currently ranked No. 2 under the World Pool-Billiard Association and plays for the Negros Billiards Stable and JSY Sports of businessman Jonathan Sy. He has won the World 9-Ball Championship and World 8-Ball title in 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Francisco Django Bustamante will also compete in the prestigious event. Bustamante, who plays for Puyat Sports, is making his title retention bid and will try to become only the fourth player to win the World 9-Ball crown at least twice. He is also in contention to become the third Filipino to win a world championship twice. Efren Bata Reyes and Alcano, are the only double world champions from the Pool Capital of the World.

Other Filipino pool players seeded in the event include Dennis Orcollo (Bugsy Promotions), Antonio Lining (Negros Billiards Stable and JSY Sports), Lee Vann Corteza (Negros Billiards Stable and JSY Sports), and Oliver Medenilla.

Some of the pool players from the international circuit who will see action in the 2011 World 9-Ball Championship in Doha, Qatar, include Earl “The Pearl” Strickland, Johnny “The Scorpion” Archer, Fong Pang Chao, Chang Jung Lin, Chris Melling, Thorsten Hohmann, Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach, Ralf Souquet, Mika Immonen, and Huidji See.

The best of luck to my fellow Pinoys! Mabuhay!
