Recap

Published August 1, 2026

Rome played host to one of the Pro Billiard Series' most prestigious women's events in August 2026, with the Masters Showdown doubles format drawing top talent to Italy for what promised to be a compelling weekend of competition. When the final ball dropped, it was Chezka Centeno standing at the top — adding yet another title to what has become one of the most decorated resumes in women's pool.

Centeno, the Filipina standout from Zamboanga City known on tour as "The Flash," arrived in Rome already riding remarkable momentum. According to Wikipedia, she had claimed the World Ten-ball Championship in both 2023 and 2025, and just days before this Rome event, she had secured the 2026 WPA Women's World 8-Ball Championship in Green Bay, Wisconsin — defeating Great Britain's Kelly Fisher 9–6 in the final, per the WPA. The Rome doubles crown added to what was already shaping up as a landmark year in her career.

At just 27 years old, Centeno has established herself as one of the most consistent performers on the international women's circuit. Her ability to perform at the highest level across multiple formats — eight-ball, nine-ball, ten-ball, and now a high-profile doubles setting — speaks to the breadth of her game. The Rome event provided another stage for that versatility, and she delivered accordingly.

Details on the full bracket, runner-up finisher, and prize structure for this event were not available at time of publication. ForceFollow will update this recap as additional information is confirmed through official Pro Billiard Series channels. What is clear from the record is that Centeno's summer of 2026 ranks among the most productive stretches any women's player has put together on the global cue sports circuit in recent memory.

For the Pro Billiard Series, landing a talent of Centeno's caliber as champion in Rome only reinforces the draw of the Masters Showdown format and the organization's growing footprint in European pool. With women's billiards continuing to expand its international profile, events like this one in Italy serve as important markers of where the sport is heading — and Chezka Centeno, based on the results of 2026 alone, appears to be leading the way.
