FORMER world champion Francisco “Django” Bustamante fell by the wayside yesterday as two upstarts–Edgie Geronimo and John Rebong–forged a finals battle in the billiards competition of the POC-PSC Philippine National Games at the Rizal Memorial Billiards Center yesterday.
Geronimo whipped Junbert Ogang 9-1 to rule the winner’s bracket and will face Rebong, who turned the tables on Ogang in the loser’s bracket 9-7, in a surprise finale tomorrow after Bustamante, Jundel Mazon and Jeffrey de Luna, all established names in the game, suffered stunning defeats.
In reaching the finals, Geronimo claimed the scalp of De Luna, a 2006 Doha Asian Games medalist 9-3, while 2010 world 9-ball king Bustamante absorbed a heartbreaking 8-9 loss to another upstart, Ivan Ilao in an earlier match in the loser’s bracket.
