Antonio Lining is the last Filipino standing in the Philippine Open Pool Championships semifinals.

Lining outlasted former World Ten Ball champion Darren Appleton of Great Britain, 9-6, to secure the last seat in the semifinal round of this WPA event Sunday night at the SM Megamall.

The 47-year-old veteran Pinoy campaigner became the country’s only hope after up-and-coming player Carlo Biado lost to Thorsten Hohmann of Germany in a hill-hill encounter, 9-8, for a seat in the semifinals.

Earlier, Hohmann’s compatriot and buddy, Ralf Souquet, and Liu Haitao of China booked seats in the Final Four after completing a five-win run.

Siming Chen of China and Kelly Fisher of Great Britain arranged a titular showdown for the women's division.

Chen survived former Amway World champion Lin Yuan Chun of Chinese Taipei, 9-6 while Fisher defeated former World Women's 9-Ball champion Wu Shia Shia of China.
