dropped their quarterfinal matches.

Kiamco, from Pasil,Cebu, lost to Huidji See of the Netherlands,
200-55, while Orcollo, the 28-year-old pride of Surigao del Sur, bowed
to Oliver Ortmann of Germany, 200-7.

Ortmann went on to win the title when he subdued See, 200-171 in the
finals to take the top prize of $12,500. See settled for $5500.

In the semi-finals, See bested Austrian Martin Kempter, 200-41 to set
up the final against Ortmann, a former world 9-ball champion, who beat
Danny Harriman of the US, 200-123.

Kempter and Harriman went home with $3,400 each while Orcollo, Kiamco,
Schmidt and Hohmann each received $2,450.
