Orcollo Sweeps 3 of 4 Tournaments!
With the return of the “West Coast Swing‚“ of pool to California, top pool-players from all over the world flew in to experience the heat. This year’s “swing” events featured three 10-ball tournaments and a 1-pocket tournament. The prospect of one player dominating was unlikely considering the company of Efren Reyes, Francisco Bustamante, John Morra, John Schmidt, Thorsten Hohmann, Edgie Geronimo, Rodney Morris, Alex Pagulayan, Dennis Orcollo and many more world-beaters. Despite the competition, “Robocop” Dennis Orcollo, took on all the champions and won three of the four events. 3 out of 4 isn’t bad, especially if you can’t play the fourth event because of your travel schedule.

San Francisco, CA - The 4th Annual Cole Dickson 10-Ball
The “West Coast Swing” started in San Francisco’s, Family Billiards for the 4th Annual Cole Dickson Memorial 10-ball tournament. The unstoppable Dennis Orcollo won it undefeated despite a field of 78 players consisting of Efren Reyes (who went two and out), Rodney Morris, John Schmidt, Francisco Bustamante, Edgie Geronimo and Vilmos Foldes, Oscar/Ernesto Dominguez and more.
Besting Rodney Morris on the first day, Orcollo started off the second day with a tough match against Santos Sambajon. With Sambajon leading for most of the match, Orcollo played catch up, trailing 6-3 (race to 9) and gradually making a comeback. With both players on the hill and despite a dry break by Dennis in the last game, Santos failed to cut a tough 5 ball allowing Orcollo to win the match.
