Finally, a Filipina brings home the bacon in the 2009 JBETpoker.net Women’s World 10-Ball Championship. Competing in a 5 day play with 48 women pool players from around the world, Rubilen Bingkay Amit emerged triumphant. Being a dark horse and a non-favorite at the start of the competition, her victory is a total surprise and delight to Filipino and world pool enthusiasts.

Pitted against veteran and experienced pool players, Bingkay’s first semi-finals was with Japan’s Akimi Kajitani, one of Asia’s stable top players in women’s world pool and has placed 3^rd in two world championships. It was a tough game for Bingkay but she won over Kajitani 9-6 in order to make it to second world pool Championship finals.

It is sweet victory for the Philippines to have the soft-spoken and petite Rubilen Bingkay Amit competing against Taiwan’s Shin Mei Liu, two time world champion with Amit still looking for her 1^st win. Despite Liu’s taking first blood, Amit fought back and dominated the game to win 10-4 to become the First Women’s World Pool 10-Ball Champion. This proves that in the world of pool and billiards, the Philippines is a force to be reckoned with having Reyes, Bustamante, Pagulayan and Amit.

Make way for the 1^st Women’s World 10-Pool Champion and 1^st Filipina World Champion – Rubilen Bingkay Amit!
