Orcullo Cashes Out In Reno

Sands Regency Hotel and Casino, Reno, NV, USA - Dennis Orcullo once again proved that he might be the next big thing for Philippine billiards, as he bested 158 players enroute to winning the 43rd Annual Reno Open, June 6-11.

Dennis was undefeated all-the-way to the finals, emerging from the winner's bracket with a twice to beat advantage in the finals. Orcollo's notable victims on the way to the finals are Corey Deuel (9-5) and Kim Davenport (9-1). Davenport got the chance to go to the finals for topping the loser's bracket. In the finals, Davenport survived the first finals match 9-7 to earn a decision match and a fitting revenge to Orcullo. In the second match though, Orcullo prevailed 9-8, winning the trophy.

Dennis, dubbed as "Philippine's Money-Game King" took home $12,000 for the win.
