Mark Estiola and Sean Mark Malayan both secured quarterfinal finishes in the 3rd Qualifiers of the Kamui Road to World 10-Ball Championship — enough to earn them a spot in Stage 1 of the prestigious World 10-Ball Championship 2025.

Stage 1 will feature 64 players, composed of Top 8 finishers from each Kamui qualifier, the highest-ranking point earners, and wildcard invites. From there, only the Top 8 will advance to the Final Stage.

The Final Stage — or main event — will feature 96 of the world’s best players, including the WPA Top 40, national federation picks, wildcard entries, and the 8 players who make it through Stage 1.
