Filipino cue artist Francisco “Django” Bustamante clustered four straight racks to beat Taiwanese player Yang Ching-shun, 9-3, to win their match-up inthe Philippine Bigtime Billiards (PBB) Face Off series late Saturday at the Pagcor Airport Casino in Parañaque City.
The win was worth $5,000 for Bustamante, while Yang settled for $2,500. With Bustamante’s win, Team Philippines is now tied with Team Asia, 3-3, in the PBB Face Off series. “The ball rolled in my favor,” said Bustamante.
