Alex stopped by Bankshot Billiards in Jacksonville Florida to compete in the Predator World 10-Ball Championship. This event put on by Charlie Williams and Dragon Promotions invited an international mix of top players including Canadians Tyler Edey, Luc Salvas, John Morra, Edwin Montal, Ronnie Wiseman and Alex Pagulayan.
On the final day it would be 23 year old American Shane Van Boening who has been making waves fresh off his second place finish at the EnjoyPool.com event that would earn the title World 10-Ball Champion. This young man is fast becoming one of the best players in the world.
Though we would have loved to see Van Boening and Pagulayan square off in the final, Alex would fall one game short with a shocking miss on the 10 ball double hill vs. Cliff Joyner.
Alex would settle for 3rd on his opportunity for a second World Champion title.
Morra, Salvas, Edey and Wiseman would narrowly miss their chance to get to the cash, though all three players earned impressive victories along the way.
While John Morra was competing with the men he was busy in the Junior tournament as well. Finishing 2nd in the World Junior 10-Ball Championship is no easy task but these days Morra is one of the top Junior players in the world.
