Bata Reyes in Top 20 pool money list

Six Filipino cue masters led by Efren "Bata" Reyes made it to the top 20 of www.AZbilliards.com's money list this year. The list showed Reyes, known as the "Magician" for his variety of trick shots, at the third spot behind Xiao-Ting Pan of China who topped the list and American Johnny Archer. Xiao, who recently reigned in the Amway Women's World 9-ball tilt, overtook Archer in the list after her Amway win.

Another female cue master, Jeannette Lee of the United States, is at fourth with earnings amounting to $33,000.
