Professional career

In 2005, He won the Skins Billiards Championship, another tournament televised on ESPN, by besting Danny Basavich in sudden death. This was Sambajon's greatest win, earning him $73,500, the most he has earned from a single event.

He nearly had the chance to compete in the WPA World Nine-ball Championship in 2004 but could not, due to passport problems. He made his debut at that tournament in 2006.

He served as Efren Reyes's corner man (players who reached the finals of an IPT event get to have someone who would instruct or give them advise during the match) at the final of the 2006 IPT World Open Eight-ball Championship.
