Spent most part of the afternoon and early evening watching the championship match of the 2007 World Pool Championships held at the Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City in the Philippines.
England's Daryl Peach wins with a score of 17-15 against the Philippines Roberto Gomez.
I think it was some sort of sweet revenge for Peach for what the Filipino crowd did to him. Imagine the crowd cheering evertime he missed a shot. I am a Filipino and I am somewhat embarassed at how the crowd reacted on his shots. Yeah it's all about passion and loving your own countryman but they could have also shown respect to the opponent.
Anyways as what the the local announcers were saying. This could have been the sloppiest championship round ever what with all the errors incurred by each competitor. Gomez had his chance to win in the 31st rack but he muffed the 9 ball. Peach sank the 9 ball and run out the last rack of the game.
Congratulations to Daryl Peach.
