Boyet Sequioco won his second consecutive Miller Lite Invitational 8-Ball Tournament last Thursday at Round Two Bar and Grill in Garapan.<\/p>\n
And Sequioco sure picked the right time to pull off the trick by winning the big bucks edition of the tournament.<\/p>\n
His successful title defense proves that the 40-something security company employee has indeed regained his stature as one of the island\u2019s top pool artists.<\/p>\n
Sequioco began the evening like he usually does the past few weeks\u2014on a bye. He then hurdled compatriot Senen Pangilinan in his first trip to the green felt table before dismissing Korean Kim Wook to advance to the winners bracket final.<\/p>\n
Ranged against American Jon Morris, the Filipino would make all the right moves and was the first player to advance to the finals, which earned him the invaluable twice-to-beat advantage in the championship round.<\/p>\n
After watching Morris finish off Japanese Naoji Tominaga in the losers bracket final, Sequioco was a bit rusty, struggled a bit and lost Game 1 to Morris.<\/p>\n
But with his back against the wall and the championship reduced to a one-game affair for all the marbles, Sequioco stopped Morris on his tracks to win the championship and the $115 first-place prize that goes along with it.<\/p>\n
Morris settled for the $65 runner-up purse, while Tominaga was awarded $45 for finishing third.<\/p>\n
Other Round Two regulars that graced the Thursday billiards competition at the pioneering sports bar were Mark Vidal, David Peter, Toshi Nogami, and Joe Shaffer.<\/p>\n
Last week, the Olangapo, Philippines native went unscathed in winning the title over sure-shot Jerry Soriano.<\/p>\n
Round Two didn\u2019t host a Sunday and Tuesday tournament this past week.<\/p>\n
Round Two hosts three regular tournaments a week. The Sunday Winner-Take-All Fun Tournament starts at 1pm and entry costs is $5 per player. Depending on the number of lady participants, the competition switches from regular to an 8-ball handicap format. <\/p>\n
