"At last!" said Pagulayan who adds the prestigious title to his big wins as the 2004 World Pool Champion and the 2005 U.S. Open. "Everything went wrong for Dennis and all the rolls went my way.

Pagulayan earned $15,000 for the win with Orcollo collecting $6,000 for the runners-up spot.

Pagulayan had to overcome Chia Ching Wu of Chinese Taipei 9-6 in the semi-final with Orcollo defeating Ching Shun Yang also of Chinese Taipei in a final frame decider 9-8, setting up the all Filipino final and halting the dominance of Chinese Taipei, one player, Chang Jung-Lin who had won all 3 previous stops in the years Asian 9 Ball Tour.
