The match between the Philippines and Russia went to the way I thought it would, but it was not as close as I thought it would be. The Philippines team played some great pool, and after sharing the two team Scotch Doubles games and putting the score at 1-1, they then ran away with it 4-1.
In the singles 9-ball matches, Lee Van Corteza was the first to take down Roman Pruchai (8-4). Then Antonio Lining beat Egor Plishkin by the same score 8-4.
Next up in the 10-ball discipline, it was 2-time US Open runner-up Ronnie Alcano, who destroyed Ruslan Chinahov (7-1), to put the match score at 4-1 putting them in the final on Sunday afternoon. It should be noted the they did not even have to use Dennis Orcollo in the singles matches. (It must be nice to have a spare of this caliber waiting in the wings.)
PHILIPPINES 4 v RUSSIA 1
