Defending champion Francisco "Django" Bustamante and Efren "Bata" Reyes led the Philippines' assault into the Round of 64 of the 2011 World 9-Ball Championship at the Al Saab Sports Club in Doha, Qatar. Bustamante hurdled Alazmi Majed of Kuwait, 9-4, in Group D while Reyes downed Konstantin Stepanov of Russia, 9-3, in Group A to advance into the knockout stage of the tournament. Dennis Orcollo, Carlo Biado, Oliver Medenilla, Jeffrey De Luna, Allan Cuartero and Antonio Lining also defeated their rivals to advance to the next round. Orcollo defeated Jalal Yousef of Venezuela, 9-3, in Group A while Biado downed Lee Gun Jae of Korea, 9-2. Mendenilla won over Nguyen Phuong Thao of Vietnam, 9-4, in Group G action as De Luna beat Riyan Sehawan of Indonesia, 9-4, in Group H. Cuartero got past Marcus Chamat of Sweden, 9-5, in Group L and Antonio Lining bested Toru Kohbayashi of Japan, 9-4, in Group P. Ronnie Alcano was not unfortunate as the former World 9-Ball champion bowed to Radoslav Babica of Poland, 9-8, in Group I. Two more Filipinos might make it to the Round of 64 as Caneda Villamor and Roberto Gomez are among the Pinoys in the losers' bracket playing as of posting time. - Reuben Terrado/JVP, GMA News
