RESULT: DENNIS ORCOLLO 8-3 TORU KURIBAYASHI
QUOTES: Dennis Orcollo (Philippines): "I'm very happy and you can see the tears in my eyes. If I could fly in the sky then I would fly.
"This tournament is really hard to win but I made it and I'm really proud to have won this. It's my biggest win.
"It was very difficult to play in the final as you try to not think that if you win this game then you are the champion. In the semi-final I wasn't feeling like that but in the final I had to tell myself to just try and control my emotion.
"If you can't stay in control of your emotions then you can't do anything and your mind goes blank.
"So I just controlled myself and continued my game right until the end.
"I was worried when I missed the 6 ball (in the first rack) and it was unexpected but sometimes that can happen.
"After that I knew he (Kuribayashi) would be feeling confident because I had made a mistake but I was still hoping to get another chance and get back some momentum.
"The tournament is short races and if you lose one rack you could then be out. It's a big difference to money games as if you lose a rack there then you have a chance of making a game again.
"In a money game it might not matter if you play badly at the beginning you can still recover but in a tournament if you start badly you may lose.
"This is great news for the Philippines and many people have followed this competition in my country and they will be celebrating. I would love to bring this competition to my country.
"Most of the players participating here are top players with the likes of Ralf Souquet, Efren Reyes and Francisco Bustamante.
"It's a great tournament and you're very, very lucky if you win this."
