Honeymoon couple flashed Bustamante out of World Pool
Inquirer

FRANCISCO “Django” Bustamante fell prey to spectator rudeness on Wednesday.
After charging back from 4-1 down, Bustamante was closest to catching up -- until his German opponent, Thomas Engert, got unsolicited assistance from a Filipino fan at the third row of the VIP section.
Bustamante, second strongest RP bet after Efren “Bata” Reyes in the 2006 World Pool Championship, lost his bearing after being jolted by a cellphone.
But don’t buy reports that it was the phone’s wild ringing that did Bustamante in.
No. Bustamante was flushed by a lovey-dovey couple that flashed the built-in camera in their cellphone immediately before he could take a crucial shot at the one-ball.
Bustamante, behind, 6-7, balked and frowned.
Momentarily jarred, he heaved a sigh of frustration, bent and resumed play.
Disaster! He did pocket the yellow one, but the cue ball, instead of sailing toward the top rail close to the two-ball, hit the jutting edge of the side pocket to roll back to where it started.
Indeed, it could have been easy sailing if not for the dirty distraction.
Django uncharacteristically missed his next shot, dropped the rack, and went on to exit from the power-packed tournament, losing 10-6.
The girlfriend, pearl earrings matching her pearly teeth, got her desired portrait, with Django about to pocket a ball for background.
Of course, the young couple, obviously on a honeymoon, felt sorry. But the great harm had already been done.
Tongues clucked, there was hissing regret among fans behind the back of the pair that seemed buried in a dream world.
Bustamante next rushed out of the floor and rearranged gears under a television beam. Yes, he said, he was having tough luck, his game was not as smooth, with the route often rutted -- (“Magulo linya, masama dating ng bola.”)
He wanted to shrug everything off and say it was all in the game. But Django could not get over the distraction from the sideline.
“Mahirap na nga, sinilaw pa (That flash bulb ruined everything),” he tried to explain.
Not only that. Django could not get over the fact that the lovey-dovey pair appeared to be laughing at him after the incident. “Pinagtawanan pa nga ko,”” Bustamante shook his sullen head.
Maybe organizers should first conduct a seminar on pool hall manners before hosting the next World Pool Championship. Recah Trinidad

wala talagang disiplina mga filipinos, I also read it somewhere na sobrang bastos daw talaga ng mga audience dyan sa WPC, cellphones ringin, tumatayo habang hinde pa tapos ang isang rack, 'coz I believe hinde ka pwedeng lumabas hanggat hinde tapos yun rack,
nakakahiya tayo...
