September 7, 2009, 4:17pm

Dennis Orcollo and Yang Ching-shun renew their rivalry as the two money-game kings of their respective countries battle in an epic race-to-50, 10-ball match on Tuesday dubbed as Face Off Series 2-One More Time at the newly-opened Club Capo Exclusive in Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City.

Orcollo, the challenger, is seeking revenge from a humiliating loss at the hands of the Taiwanese during their encounter almost three years ago at the Gateway Mall in Quezon City.

“Napahiya talaga ako noon, lalo pa’t dito mismo sa bansa natin nangyari, parang yung pride ng buong Pilipinas ang nakataya,” said the 30-year-old stalwart of the star-studded Bugsy Promotions of businessman Perry Mariano.

Orcollo has since won a number of local and international tournaments, including the money-rich Qatar World Open 9-Ball Championship in 2008 and the International 10-Ball Championship last May in Las Vegas.

But Yang has remained consistent and continued making waves in the international scene with his string of successes, including the overall championship of the 2008 Guinness 9-Ball Tour.

Besides the bragging rights, Orcollo and Yang will also dispute the $10,000 top purse at stake in this two-day event which will be shown live on Solar Sports and in MJC Network (Channel 113 in Sky Cable and Channel 80 in Destiny) with a live streaming over the internet through www.jbet.net and www.clubcapo.tv
