Carlo Biado (born October 31, 1983) is a Filipino professional pool player.

Early life

Biado originated from the province of La Union. He started playing pool when he was age 13 and worked as a caddie at the Villamor Air Base golf course while he was still a student. After work he would play billiards in the evening. He stopped pursuing high school education when he was on his first year and the sport serves as a means of livelihood. He earned money from bets in the billiards place he helps manage.[1][2]

Career

In 2015, Biado reached the final of the WPA World Ten-ball Championship, defeating David Alcaide and Nikos Ekonomopoulos in the knockout rounds. Biado would eventually lose the final to Taiwan's Ko Pin-yi 9–11.[3]

In 2017, Biado defeated Jayson Shaw of the UK, 11–7, to win the men's 9-ball event of the 2017 World Games.[4]

Also in 2017, Biado defeated countryman Roland Garcia, 13–5, to win the 2017 WPA World Nine-ball Championship.[5] The following year, Biado would also reach the final of the 2018 event, however, would lose 10–13 to Joshua Filler.[6][7]

Biado reached the final of the 2019 WPA Players Championship, losing to Kevin Cheng 12–11.[8]
