#2 in USA Jennifer Barretta Finally Makes it through the round robin stage


Manila, Philippines- Jennifer Barretta signed a breath of relief when she heard she made it through to the top half cut at the Worlds. The American #2 ranked barely missed the cut last year, and this year remains as the only USA player standing. She plays the nation's top favorite, and only Filipina left as well, Ms.Rubilen Amit. Dragon Promotions brings the greatest women's tournament in the world once more to the Philippines with the 2013  Yalin Women's World 10-Ball Championship!  This year's edition will take place October 28th - November 4th,2013  to luxurious Resorts World Manila, an upscale hotel and casino adding onto the dynamic atmosphere of the coveted championship.  An elite 48 world class lady pros, the best of the best from 20 countries, will attend the event to decide who is the World Champion. Matches will air live daily from 11pm - 8am EST on www.insidepool.tv  and broadcasted worldwide by ABS-CBN Sports and affiliates.

Barretta played her fifth and final match on TV against Belgium's Kamiisha Khodjaeva, a teenaged sharpshooter. Barretta thought she had to win the match in order to qualify, and proceeded to play a horrible match on live TV.

"Just not used to the pressure of the big lights, camera, and crowd" said Barretta afterwards.

Upon losing the match however, she was informed that she had the necessary number of game wins above the match wins to qualify. Her whole world was turned upside down and back back to heaven in a matter of seconds.

Former World 10-Ball Champion Amit took a loss in her group which gave her a lower seeding into the elimination stage of the Worlds. She has a long trek to the finals which will include facing USA's lone warrior in Barretta.

They face each other 12:00pm in a USA vs Philippines battle. Live on www.insidepool.tv
