BILLIARDS players and enthusiasts from all over the globe are having a grand time at the bigger and better Star Billiards Center in Quezon City.
“This is a pool player’s paradise,” said veteran sports anchor Ted
Souquet is one of the fancied players in the WTBC slated on Nov. 25 to 30 at the World Trade Center in Manila.
“Star Billiards Center is the only place dedicated to billiards where everything is free,” said Lerner.
Almost everything. Of course, the imported cue sticks on display there are for sale.
Here are some of Star Billiards Center’s freebies: internet use, overseas calls to the United States and Canada, mobile phone charging (any brand), soft drinks and biscuits.
The players can play at any of 40 world-class pool tables for free. There’s also a giant plasma television to keep spectators from getting bored.
Its owner and Billiards and Snooker Congress of the Philippines president Sebastian “Baste” Chua also added a portion to the left side of the lavish pool hall where fans can get a bird’s eye-view of actions on 16 Brunswick tables.
The down-to-earth billiards patron shelled out nearly P10-million to complete the addition.
Selected actions on that side of the pool hall can be seen online through www.clubcapo.tv, a professional provider of high-quality video streaming of pool and other events.
