GOMEX + 2 BUSTAMANTES ENTERS QUARTER FINALS
Francisco "Django" Bustamante and his nephew Joven "The Shark" Bustamante, and Roberto "Superman" Gomez all advanced to the quarterfinal round of the 2007 World Pool Championship last night at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
In the round of 16, Django ousted compatriot Alex "The Lion" Pagulayan, 11-2, while The Shark continued his giant-slaying ways by beating Satoshi Kawabata of Japan, 11-9, as Superman swept Neils Feijen of the Netherlands 11-0.
Today, Django will face the winner of the match between Daryl Peach of England and Harald Stoika of Finland.
"Malaki ang tsansa ko dahil ito lang naming kapatid ko, si Alex ang matinding kalaban," said Django. "Kahit sino na ang makalaban ko hindi na ako takot dahil wala na ang kinakatakutan ko."
Pagulayan, on the other hand, said he was not disappointed with his loss because he lost to the guy whom he predicted would win the championship this year.
The Shark, on the other hand, arranged a round of 8 showdown with Karl Boyes of England, who stunned Konstantin Stepanov of Russia, 11-4, last night.
"Nakita ko na ang laro niya (Kawabata) kaya kinabahan ako," said Joven, who upset Dennis Orcullo last Wednesday and 2005 World Pool Champion Wu Chia-ching of Taiwan last Thursday.
Roberto Gomez overwhelmed Neils Feijen of The Netherlands 11-0, to land as the third Filipino in the Quarterfinals.
