Fresh from conquering the 2008 Mati 9-Ball Open Tournament in Mati, Davao, Pasig-based Jech Limen is scheduled for action, this time in Seoul, South Korea, for the 5th Annual Asia 10-ball Championships from November 10-14 at the Hamilton Hotel.

"I will do my very best," AZBilliards.com quoted Limen as saying.

Limen's inclusion in the Asia 10-Ball follows an invitation given by tournament promoter Dragon Promotions, said his manager, Jonathan Sy of the Negros Billiard Stable.

"While fate and destiny seems to be on our side the Korean Consul approved the visas of Jech (Limen)", said Sy, who also handles the careers of Lee Vann "The Slayer" Corteza, Villar Cup Alabang leg champion Warren "Warrior" Kiamco, Japan based Ramil "Bebeng" Gallego and 2008 Dubai Champion Ricky "Bai" Zerna.

Sy added that he hopes Limen would be able to duplicate championship feats in the 2004 Davao 9-Ball Open.

Asia 10-Ball promoter Cindy Lee of Dragon Promotions, meanwhile, said the first place winner will take home $10,000. Runner-up wins $5,000 while the third and fourth placers are guaranteed $2,500 each.

Fifth to 16th placers are guaranteed at least $600 each.

Among international cue masters, Mika "The Iceman" Immonen of Finland, Thorsten "The Hitman" Hohmann of Germany, Raj Hundal of India, Lee Chenman of Hongkong and Young Hwa Jeong of the host country, have so far confirmed their participation.
