FILIPINO pool players Dennis Orcollo, Reyna Maria Legaspi, and Carmille Buhat kicked off their campaigns on a high note at the 2025 JOY Heyball Masters Nanning Station in China.
In the opening rounds on Friday, the trio all notched victories against local competition. Orcollo defeated Zhu Hongming 7–3, Legaspi edged out Huang Yong 7–5, and Buhat dominated Dao Damudingjiamuqi 7–2.
As of this posting, Orcollo is set to face Sato Chiaki, Legaspi will go up against Sun Jung-Tse, and Buhat takes on Julian Serradilla. A win will secure their spots in the Top 48 of the International Group, while a loss will send them to the losers’ bracket. / RSC
