MANILA, Philippines—Filipino bet Jeffrey De Luna put on a clinic against Fil-Canadian Alex Pagulayan en route to a 11-0 win to keep his hopes of a spot in the Round of 16 of the 2021 US Open 9-Ball Championship in Atlantic City Thursday (Manila time).

It was a complete domination for De Luna as he potted all balls and relegated Pagulayan to a glorified spectator.
