Twelve Filipinos spearheaded by former champion Carlo Biado, last year's semifinalist Johann Chua and teen sensation AJ Manas toppled their rivals to advance to the 64-player knockout stage of the 2025 World Pool Championship at the Green Halls in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, July 23.

The 41-year-old Biado, who seeks to duplicate his 2017 title, flashed his vintage form and defeated fellow Filipino Lee Vann Corteza, 9-4, while Chua had an easier time in routing Hungary's Oliver Szolnoki, 9-3.

Eighteen-year-old Manas, for his part, made heads turn by stunning reigning UK Open champion Aloysius Yapp of Singapore, 9-5, to join Biado and Chua in this 128-player tournament that offers a US$1 million (around P56.9 million).
