Chezka Centeno outplayed compatriot Rubilen Amit, 7-3, in the gold-medal match of the Women’s 10-Ball of the 30th Southeast Asian Games billiards at The Manila Hotel Tent on Saturday.
Playing a near-flawless game, Centeno raced to a 6-1 lead, allowing Amit just two more points before clearing the final rack on her break.
Amit threw in the towel before the 20-year-old Centeno took her final shot on the 10-ball, conceding the match for the silver medal.
“Aside from being the present, she’s also the future,” the 38-year-old Amit said of Centeno, whom she praised for her humility inspite of all her accomplishments.
