By Val Marvin G. Macanas

Rubilen Amit has won three billiard games last yesterday and the most recent was against Line Kjoersvik of Norway. She beat him with an 8-2 score at the Women’s World 10-Ball Championship held at Robinson’s Galleria.

Rubilen is now 28 years old. Still fresh to dominate the women's world of billiards. Last year she was a double gold medalist in the 2009 Laos SEA Games.

Now she is about to add a feather to her hat. In beating Line Kjoersvik of Norway who is a 12-time national champion in Norway, she has entered the semi-finals of the Women’s World 10-Ball Championship 2010. She is now sure to get $5,000 by just entering the semi-finals.


Rubilen said,“Maybe I’ve got a little bit lucky but I felt a little embarrassed for her (Kjoersvik) because she really missed some big shots. If I were to hit it, I would have opted for a safety shot but it’s her (Yu) decision, maybe she thought she could hit it. I got lucky there.”


She will face Ga Young Kim in the semi-finals who defeated Yu Ram Cha in a convincing way.
