Amit, Biado, Chua win Predator World teams title


The Philippines again showed their brilliance in billiards as they were crowned as 2022 Predator World Teams Champions on Sunday (Austria time) in Klagenfurt, Austria.

The trio of Rubilen Amit, Carlo Biado, and Johann Chua defeated the British team of Kelly Fisher, Jayson Shaw, and Darren Appleton, 4-3, 4-3, 4-1.

In a report by Chino Trinidad on 24 Oras on Monday, the win was particularly special for Biado and Amit, who were part of Team Philippines that ended as runner-up to China in the finals of the tournament back in 2014.

“It feels amazing to be champions,” said Amit in a report by the tournament's website. “We’re, we’re very, very happy, and very and relieved. Finally, no more matches, we can rest and just enjoy it and enjoy Austria and Klagenfurt!"

Chua said he was also thankful for winning the tournament for the first time.

"It is my first medal from a World Championship, and I am so thankful and so happy to make it with this team. We knew our opponents are really tough, but we came here to enjoy it," he said.

According to its website, the Predator Pro Billiard Series is, "a series of open, professional events held around the world to provide more opportunities for professional and aspiring pool players to compete in high-quality events, earn more income, sharpen their skills."
