Wow, who is this young gun billy Thorpe, what a player you are young man, thank you for that game. And I’m a huge efren Reyes fan and I have to say if you stay at this game it’s going to be your name people will be talking about in the future. And I have to add you talking about the game and complimenting efren for the game he played was a class act.

Efren Bata Reyes played Ok. Even though he was sick. He never quits Because of sickness and keeps right on playing pool. That is a dedicated Pool player if you ask me. Him being real sick makes anybody not shoot There best or do there best at any sports. And Efren was sick during this Pool Tournament. I can say the man has a (Heart Of Gold). As sometimes he Helps others in desperate needs and gives his winnings to complete Strangers In order to help them. Bless his heart. Good man there. Thanks for allowing everyone to watch these Pool Games on here also. I hope you continue to Keep this going like this. 🎱🇺🇸

MrRex1949 : "Efren played okay"!?! He played PERFECT dum-dum. Your knowledge of him and pool is as weak as your grammar and syntax. After you learn the difference between an adverb and a personal pronoun you can study a little pool.

Truman Peyote : Let me tell you something here. #1. I like Efren Bata Reyes. He is one hell of a Pool Player. And not only I mentioned about Efren Bata Reyes being off in playing Pool. But others did as well. All because they mentioned like me he was sick and had a bad cold. Causing him not to play as good as he generally does. I noticed you never said a dang word to others who said the same thing I did. Was that because you're a racist or something huh???? You better learn to read better and re-read what I indicated OK? As if you read my message. I never made no indications he was a bad Pool Player. Get your facts straight. 👍🎱🇺🇸

Of my 45 years of watching Efren shooting... I still have not seen anyone come along shoot prettier pool than him. I am sure, all pool player, both pros and amateurs would agree Efren is the prettiest pool player to watch.

I really like this Billy Thorpe as well. Very good but was also extremely respectful of his competition. I really like to see that.

Very good match. Hardly any mistakes after the first two games. Wonderful run-out in the last game by Reyes. On the hill. Long shot on the one, nails it and gets perfect shape on the two. But after that, every shot was a testy shot. Pulling that out at that moment is what makes him a champion.

Great match! Billy I look forward to watching more as you played well even efren was pouring it on.

I guess Efren applied a litmus handicap when he apparently intended to miss two shots in rack 1 on ball 1 followed by a pause on ball 4 in the 2nd rack. The second shot on ball 1 in the first rack is visibly doable but he made a defensive shot failure.

Good match to watch. Thorpe is amazing. He might have won if not for that very slight mistake on the push-out when he was on the hill, which he acknowledged. And apparently Efren will quit pool when they carry him out of the hall feet first.

@ugaugauga488

@@paeng46 Look were he was pointing his cue after shooting ng 2, he was aiming to be on the diamond or lower,. He shot with a lower right spin so that will throw the cue ball down, but he hit it too soft. Also look at what he did on 1:12:55, he knew it was too soft, he landed about 3 inches above so the angle was steeper. If had landed lower he can follow the cue and nudge the 4 off the rail. The table might not be showing that the actual angles and distances due to the angle of the camera.

If the opponent is clapping even though they just lost .. it means they have high respect to the opponent. Who could blame them. Efren is classy player.

What a match! Superb!

As excellent as this guy Billy is, and he really is, Efren is still at another level. Despite Billy's better breaks and a lucky pocketing of the 9-ball, you just can't give Efren even 1 mistake because it might cost you the game for sure.

Efren...The best that's ever lived

guy has a good style

5:40 Efren just felt like shooting a fun shot

Efren is so Efren' amazing!!!!

ilove efren reyes

the freaking GOAT

efren can still beat all players in the world.. hes play style is the best :D alot of player can beat him but still he can beat them all :D

hey genipool, just curious, where you there? thanks fora all the videos of course..

At this point in his career, he's can still beat top tier players provided jumpcues are not allowed. just an observation.

Concession: You must not concede the 9-Ball. The penalty is loss of game PLUS one additional game. Unscrewing your playing cue while your opponent is at the table is loss of match.

This match should have never went to the hill if Billy would have not gave Efren 2 games he probably would have won! Great Match either way!

Glad to see Efren deservedly win, he played great. Would of been a shame to see Billy win after fluking the 9 to tie at 6-6

Indeed. Apparently that wasn't what Thorpe meant to leave, but so one would have to cue over the 7 - in which case Efren may not have taken on the shot after the Push-Out.

at 5:40, why was Reyes able to pot the 2 ball without it being ball at hand for the opponent? Can someone explain this rule to me? I don't normally play like that.

A player might be get lucky for a shot, or a match, or even a tournament, but playing at the very highest level consistently over 40 odd years it'll pretty much even out :-) If he does "get lucky" more often on a consistent basis than some other players then it's to do with the pace and nature of his shots giving the balls more of a chance. So not really luck at all.

those who take it literally doesn't understand the game but those who are knowledgeable in this game pretty much understand why Efren is saying that..."get lucky" Efren doesn't have much educational attainment, but he was really meant to be genius of this sport. Poor guy never expected that he will be interviewed time and again whenever he won big matches, even worst was in English language. So this interviews became the hardest and most challenging moments for him. So to make the interview short and simple, the best line of reasoning that he get used to say was.. he get lucky. And that reasoning becomes so popular because he keep saying it over and over again. The more he keep saying it, people admire him and like him more, because it was understand and accepted by many as an expression of Efren's humility and humbleness. They all know and believe it's was not luck but the unbelievable talent Efren have, in achieving everything he have done in this sport. Anyone who love this sport will surely like Efren.. he is the true genius, the maestro, and the best ever that played this sport.
