About Dennis Orcollo

Dennis began playing billiards at the age of 8 in the house of his grandfather which was located in a remote town in Surigao Del Sur, on the island of Mindanao. At night he would sneak away to practice his skills while his grandfather was sleeping. Dennis’s prior job used to be a fisherman before he tried his luck in billiard. Dennis would expend his skills by playing games throughout different towns by finding means to travel and giving up many nights of sleeping. Dennis’s sheer determination and love for the game earned him the nickname of “Manila Money Game King". Although not yet winning any world title, he is currently ranked number 7 in the Philippines, number 24 in Asia and number 59 in the world. In the one month that he has been in the USA for the IPT qualifier, he won first place in the 2006 Open 9- Ball World Championship Bar Table Tournament in Oroville CA followed by the 2006 US Bar Box 8 Ball Title in Nevada. He has also placed fourth in the 2006 US Bar Box 9 Ball Championship. He considers his winning of the coveted IPT membership card in Bellflower, California last Feb.19, 2006 as the turning point of his career.
