Pinoy cue artists crash out of W Cup

MANILA, Philippines -  Filipino pair Johann Chua and Carlo Biado bombed out of the 12BET World Cup of Pool after surrendering a numbing 2-9 loss to China in Saturday’s quarterfinal round at York Hall in London.

On-form Chinese Wu Jiaqing and Dang Jinhu dished out a near-flawless shotmaking, keeping Chua and Biado glued to their seats the whole time to cruise to the one-sided win and dash the Filipinos’ title aspirations in the $250,000 event.

The Chinese set up a semis duel with Austria’s Mario He and Albin Ouschan, who edged England Team B in their side of the quarterfinals, 9-7.

The other Last-4 pairing pits holder Ko Pin Yi and Chang Yu Lung of Chinese Taipei, who aims to become the first back-to-back winner in the 32-team tourney, against USA’s Shane van Beoning and Skyler Woodward.

The Taiwanese clobbered Japan, 9-2, while the Americans outclassed Finland, 9-4, back in the Last-8.

Chua and Biado fell three victories short of their quest to capture a fourth crown for the Philippines after the 2006 and 2009 triumphs of legendary Bata Reyes and Django Bustamante and the 2013 feat of Lee Van Corteza and Dennis Orcollo.
