Seeking to become the fifth Filipino to win the event after Efren “Bata” Reyes , Ronnie Alcano , Francisco “Django” Bustamante , and Carlo Biado , Chua frittered away a 6-2 lead to finish tied at third. From 128 players vying for the top purse of $250,000, the biggest ever in the World Nineball Tour, Chua worked his way to the top.
Still, it was a campaign Chua chose to be proud of as he made the top four for the first time after always getting the boot in the round of 32 in 2018, 2019, and 2023.
