                    [Summary] => Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes failed to flash his old brilliance and bowed to Earl Strickland in the quarterfinal round but the American ace lost to Malta’s Tony Drago, who went on to beat Taiwanese Hsia Hui-kai for the World Pool Masters crown Sunday in The Netherlands.


Reyes, who booted out unfancied Tom Storm in the first stage of the three-day, $62,000 event which gathered 16 of the world’s top cue masters, absorbed a 6-8 beating from Strickland after blowing a 3-0 lead.

                    [Summary] => Efren "Bata" Reyes drew first blood against Earl "The Pearl" Strickland last night, winning their opening race-to-11 contest, 11-7, of their $20,000 race-to-33, one-on-one showdown at the Casino Filipino in Parañaque.


Reyes, the 1999 world champion, and Strickland, a two-time world titlist, split the first four games and were tied at 7-all before the Filipino pool magician won the next four racks, the last three with Strickland getting the initiative on the break.
