Not o­ne opponent scored more than 5 games against Pagulayan early in the event.
The crowd at the Olympic Oval cheered the feisty young Torontonian o­n as he tried and tried to get back into the game against the tough Archer, butArcher played perhaps his best game of the event, dominating the table with his superb safety play and near perfect breaking. Archer put balls in off almost every break, and ran the table time after time.  When he got in trouble, Pagulayan ran the balls, but was often hooked with no clear shot, and any safety work he attempted was counteredruthlessly by Archer. InsidePOOL
