Alex “The Lion” Pagulayan trounced compatriot Ronato “Volcano” Alcano in the 13th Annual Derby City Classic 9-Ball in Indiana, USA last Tuesday.
Pagulayan took home the $10,000 top purse for his latest feat.
“Matagal-tagal na din tayong hindi nagkampeon kasi matagal din tayong nahinto sa paglalaro,” said Pagulayan, a former World 9-Ball and US Open 9-Ball champion.
Pagulayan is putting his focus back to billiards and has been walking seven miles a day to prep himself for the game.
Pagulayan’s next event is the Fat Boy 10-Ball challenge which begins today.
