Top lady player Rosemarie Moses-Arnold and veteran cue artist Boyet Sequioco ruled the green felt table last week at Round Two Bar and Grill in Garapan.<\/p>\n
Moses-Arnold was simply unbeatable in the pioneering sports bar\u2019s 4th of July celebrations two Sundays ago.<\/p>\n
After getting a bye in the first round, Moses-Arnold went to work against Simon Kapileo and advanced to meet Charlie Peter. <\/p>\n
She beat the burly basketball center and squared off against Nathan Peter for the twice-to-beat advantage in the championship round.<\/p>\n
Moses-Arnold relegated Nathan to losers bracket play and then met up with him again in the championship when Nathan hurdled Charlie in the semis.<\/p>\n
The rematch went like their first match with Moses-Arnold winning the game and lining her pockets with the $40 winner-take-all prize.<\/p>\n
Nathan and Charlie had only bragging rights to show for their runner-up and third place finishes.<\/p>\n
Other pool players that participated in the Liberation Day competition were Donald Kapileo, Jean Navarro, and Mike Cohen.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Sequioco reclaimed the Miller Lite Invitational 8-Ball Tournament after losing it to Jon Morris a week ago.<\/p>\n
But unlike Moses-Arnold on Sunday, the Olangapo City, Philippines native had to rise from the ashes to win the championship.<\/p>\n
Sequioco got his customary bye in the opening round before outplaying a player named simply as JR in his second trip.<\/p>\n
Owen Rumley then ended Sequioco\u2019s dreams of an undefeated run when Rumley upset the crafty veteran in the third round.<\/p>\n
Sequioco went back to the drawing board in losers bracket. With his back against the wall he dropped Sunday\u2019s deposed champ Bert Mettao before advancing to the semis with a win over Larry Guerrero.<\/p>\n
Paired opposite Richard Celestino for the right to face Rumley in the finals, Sequioco brought out his \u201cA\u201d game and set up a rematch with the winners bracket topnotcher for all the night\u2019s marbles.<\/p>\n
Sequioco proved wiser in his second game against Rumley as he won the first game and the rubber match to hoist the evening\u2019s championship. He took home $70 for the win, while Rumley and Celestino settled for the $40 and $25 runner-up prizes.<\/p>\n
Tony Martinez, Kippy Aiken, and John Salas also saw action in the Thursday night 8-ball event.<\/p>\n
Sequioco won two consecutive Thursday night 8-ball tournaments before Morris snapped his streak last July 1.<\/p>\n
