  • The Philippines’ Rubilen Amit won the 2009 JBETpoker.net Women’s World 10-Ball Championship at The Block of the SM North Edsa in Quezon City.

    It was Amit’s first international victory since falling short in the 2007 Amway World Women’s 9-Ball Championship in Chinese Taipei where she finished second.

    Amit joins the ranks of countrymen Efren “Bata” Reyes, Alex “The Lion” Pagulayan and Ronnie Alcano, who have won world titles in 9-ball and 8-ball.

    Along the way, she had to beat a heavily favored Jeanette “The Black Widow” Lee of the United States in the quarterfinals.
