Cohen Wins 6-Handed Shot Clock for Spouse
In an interesting twist, the (Event #21) 6-Handed Shot Clock also came down to a deal that saw Israel’s Yossef Cohen declared the champion, but taking the runner-up’s purse against Daijiro Tomoto of Japan.
After Tomoto eliminated third placer Liu Zhiqiang of China, Cohen proposed that the Japanese player be awarded the first prize money of PhP160,728 (~US$2,885) but that the Israeli get the title and the PhP95,000 (~US$1,705) prize for second place because his wife wants him to win the trophy.
Liu pocketed PhP67,000 (~US$1,200) for his third place finish.
Cohen has now cashed thrice here and has made the Philippines the tenth country he has won in.
