World 8-Ball: Orcollo barges into the finals
Orcollo, a former fisherman from Surigao del Sur, outclassed Shane Van Boening of the US (9-4) and Takhti Zarekani of Iran (9-2), respectively, to reach the semifinal round.
He is playing under the banner of Perry Mariano's Bugsy Promotions.
"Masuwerte lamang ako kasi nakauna tayo," said Orcollo, who took a 5-3 commanding lead over Alcaide and never looked back.
He will face Neils "The Terminator" Feijen of the Netherlands in the finals.
Feijen blanked former World 10-Ball champion Darren "Dynamite" Appleton of the UK to make it into the finals.
The champion will receive the top prize of $40,000 while the runner-up will pocket $25,000.
Feijen earlier beat Oliver Medanilla of the Philippines, 9-4, and countryman Nick Van den Berg, 9-8.
Other Filipinos who made it into the Last 16 failed to advance to the semifinals.
