Efren "Bata" Reyes rose back from the losers' bracket to beat American Shannon Daulton twice in the finals and win the Galveston Classic One Pocket tournament on Friday at the Moody Gardens Hotel and Convention Center in Galveston City, Texas.
It was Reyes' third consecutive title in less than a month after he ruled The Manny Villar Cup Kadayawan Leg in Davao City and the 2009 World Cup of Pool with partner Francisco "Django" Bustamante in Quezon City.
The 55-year-old Reyes, a member of the Billiards Managers and Players Association of the Philippines and Senator Manny Villar's Team Villards, was sent into the losers' bracket late in the elimination round but bounced back by beating Cliff Joyner to earn the second finals slot against the erstwhile undefeated Daulton.
Reyes, who is one of the best One Pocket players in the world, had a tall task of beating the American twice and he did that by winning the first match, 3-1, and then scored a pulsating 3-2 squeaker to rule the inaugural edition of this tournament and pocket the $25,000 top prize.
Reyes is set to take on fellow Asian pool legend Chao Fong-pang in Face Off Series 3 - The Grandmasters slated on Oct. 28-29 at the posh Club Capo Exclusive in Tomas Morato, Quezon City.
