Carlo “The Black Tiger” Biado won the 2024 Predator WPA World 10-Ball Championship in Las Vegas, defeating Japan’s Naoyuki Oi 3-1 in sets in the final. The Filipino player earned the $75,000 top prize and added another world title to his record.

The championship concluded a significant week for Biado in Las Vegas, where he had finished as runner-up at the Las Vegas Open by Rums of Puerto Rico days earlier. Biado won the world title after his runner-up finish at the earlier event.

The tournament featured strong international competition, with Russian star Fedor Gorst and Estonia’s Denis Grabe earning bronze medals after losing in the semifinals. Gorst fell to Biado in their semifinal match, while Grabe lost to eventual finalist Oi, who advanced to the championship match.

Biado’s victory reflected a dominant performance by Asian players throughout the Las Vegas tournament series, with competitors from the region winning all major titles. The Philippines and Chinese Taipei each claimed three victories during the week-long competition. This world championship adds to Biado’s legacy as a top player from the Philippines, complementing his two World Nine-Ball Championship titles won in 2017 and 2025.

The 2024 Predator Pro Billiard Series ran at the CSI Expo Las Vegas with ten days of competition across five professional tournaments and a combined prize fund exceeding $500,000. Biado’s world title was the lead achievement of the series, showcasing professional 10-ball competition at the elite level.
