“The Lion” Unstoppable in Calgary

“The Lion” Unstoppable in Calgary Before a crowd of over 400 spectators, reigning world champion Alex “The Lion” Pagulayan completed an undefeated run to win the SML Entertainment 9-Ball Championship. Pagulayan started the event with a dicey 11-10 win over Mike Yancowski from Edmonton. After that match, Pagulayan never looked back. He scored wins over Eldon Gauthier, Mike Vidas, Craig Kerry, and Edwin Montal to put him in the final four on the winners’ side Saturday morning.
Pagulayan's first match on Saturday was a dominating 11-3 win over Danny “Kid Delicious” Basavich, followed up by an 11-3 win over Earl Strickland. Strickland came back with revenge on his mind after an 11-3 victory over Brady Gollan on the one-loss side. The final match against Strickland was much closer but yielded the same result as Pagulayan scored a 15-10 win to earn first place and $10,000 in prize money. Strickland settled for $6000 for second place. Tyler Edey earned $1,000 in bonus money for being the top finishing player from Calgary.
