Dennis Orcollo overcame Wang Hung Hsiang to win the Guangzhou leg of the Guinness 9-Ball Tour with an 11 - 9 victory.

The victory earned Orcollo the top prize of US$15,000 and more importantly assured him a spot in the Grand Final in Jakarta, Indonesia next month.

Only the top ten players in the Tour's Order of Merit list will qualify for the lucrative Grand Final and a qualifying spot in the WPA World Pool Championship. Orcollo was clinging on to 10th place prior the Guangzhou leg.

On the hill at 10 - 7, the player known as "Robocop" blew a chance to close out the match as he failed to pocket the three-ball on a seemingly easy attempt, allowing Wang to win the rack.

The Filipino ace then committed another foul in the 19th rack and his Taiwanese foe converted on a 1 - 9 combination shot to narrow the gap to 10 - 9.

Wang nevertheless failed to tie the match in the very next rack as he bungled an attempt on the two-ball, leaving Orcollo to clean the rack and triumph for the first time in the six-city tour organized by ESPN STAR Sports.

"Wang was really a tough opponent, but I was confident and ready throughout this tournament. I was actually feeling dizzy when I was up 7 - 5 so I had to get something to eat during the break. Thankfully, someone bought me a chocolate bar and it gave me some energy," revealed Orcollo.

He also dedicated this victory to his son Ralph Dency, who will be turning 6 on October 2.

Added Wang, "Dennis was just too good today. The turning point came at the 20th rack when I missed the two-ball. I had my chances but I missed them - it's a pity."

Orcollo earlier demolished Yang Ching Shun of Chinese Taipei, 9 - 1, in the semifinals.

Wang, who settled for $6,000, made the championship match by nipping Singapore leg winner Alex Pagulayan of the Philippines, 9 - 8.

The Philippines has now won the last two legs of the only WPA ranking Tour in Asia. Chang Jung Lin of Chinese Taipei claimed the first three legs in Taiwan, Penang and Genting Highlands.
