Team Asia blanks Team Europe on second day of the Reyes Cup --[Reported by Umva mag]

FILIPINO ACE Carlo Biado smashed Mickey Krause, 5-3, on Wednesday night to cap Team Asia’s four-match sweep of Team Europe in Day Two to move on cusp of ruling the inaugural Reyes Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

That Mr. Biado triumph powered the Asians from turning a slim, shaky 3-2 edge over the Europeans in Tuesday’s opener to a commanding 7-2 advantage in this three-day, race-to-11 event that is being done in honor of Filipino legend and Team Asia skipper Efren “Bata” Reyes.

And Mr. Biado, who has won almost everything after topping the world nine-ball and 10-ball championships, was at the center of it all as he summoned the magician-like wizardry of Mr. Reyes in the former’s disposal of the beleaguered Mr. Krause.

Mr. Biado also decimated Mr. Krause in the fifth rack of the team match — the first duel of the day — that resulted in a 5-3 Team Asia triumph where the host had to dig deep in rallying from 0-2 down.

It was all Team Asia from there as Taiwanese Ko Pin Yi, another world beater, downed Spanish conquistador Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, 5-3, and the duo of Duong Quoc Hoang and Aloysius Yapp destroyed David Alcaide and Eklent Kaci, 5-2.

And then Mr. Biado entered the fray to complete what had been a dominating performance for Team Asia.

Mr. Biado is expected to figure prominently again when Team Asia go for the jugular in the final day being played Friday night. — Joey Villar
