The only reason i started watching this game was because of him. He's amazing.

The Greatest Billiard Player of All Time

That's why they call him the Magician! He will always be the greatest player in the world!

watching this vid is like watching micheal jordans buzzer beater arguably the greatest player who ever played the game.

Greatest player of all time

To watch him play is like watching Michael Jordan play basketball, Mohammed Ali box, Yo Yo Mah play the cello, Michaelangelo paint, or Hussein Bolt run the 100. Genius takes many forms, and this man is The Buddha of Billiards.

If even the Earl, who we all know is very hard to please, acknowledges Efren, then he must be very good..

i love Efren Reyes he is so humble at all and i respect him alot not just because im a filipino but bcoz he deserve it. He is amazing in the feilds of billiards he is so nice people and player ..i've nothing to say about him he is the best !

he did a defense and made it an offense. brilliant job!

Greatest player ever!!

This man isn't human

Commentator: " what a horrible roll" afterwards "what a shot" lmao!

true magician

My two favorite pool players in the same match; EXCELLENT! If anybody has this entire match, please upload it. I and many other pool fans will be truly grateful. :-)

the "Z" shot that made him a legend

The Legend make the Z shot.

However Efren and Earl started playing, "no one" in the game is gutsy enough to make a risk of a shot like Efren. He is the only player that sees angles with an x- ray vision like superman, that's why he's the "best" and the greatsr pool player who ever held the cue!

Anybody that's ever spent even a little time playing pool can appreciate how incredible that shot was. Wow

Strickland was a nice person one day

This is my favorite shot in all of pool....I think this is right up there with Mosconi's 5 rail kick on the hill...on tv!

STRICKLAND IS A GOOD SPORTMNSHIP ^^ TWO THUMBS UP TO BOTH PERSON NICE

all-time shots. well-planned and carefully engineered escape by efren. Jimmy White's shot can't unmatch this one or anyone else...

They Efren the magician. The entertainer... everybody who watches efren is just waiting for something special to see.

this guy is a monster!

Wow.! Just wow..

Thanks

I wonder what happened to earl strickland.. He used to be a decent human being like in this video.. :D

..and the crowd go crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Efren Reyes humble man

hay...nakaka-tanggal ka talaga ng stress...Efren.

the best ever

People keep calling 1:05 a lucky shot. when in fact efren was looking at it and studying it and pointed at it calling the ball to the corner before taking the shot.

+Rouhunaattori what are you talking about ? have you ever seen Reyes play pool before ? he pointed at the 8 before he took the shot. he does that to sort of call the ball when in this game he did not have to. if he fails he would have secured the cue ball still. thats how Reyes play and his preparations are excellent. those fancy zig zag shots you saw him made ??? hes been doing that for decades. from the start of his 3 cushion days up to his championships hes been doing that. thats the difference between reyes and other pool players reyes is an excellent 3 cushion player it wasn't a difficult shot what he did in the final moments of this video..

Yes, I have seen many of his games, and I now what he is capable of. But look at his reaction, clearly frustrated the eight went in. There's no way he played that shot to leave him a 3 cushion escape.

Cool

damn!

His shot @1:23 &2:42 ....men !! ! it was so very fcking amazing ! he is not just the Magician he is also a great mathemacian the angles of his shots can prove it !im so fckng proud of him alot yea ! i wonder whats on his mind to make those shots ..haa!! :D Efren Reyes is professional ..ive ,., ahh !i am speach less ..thanks for the upload :)

くっそカッコええ！

Prodigy

applied geometry! lol true legend efren

Where do I find this match complete

the first shot was a lucky a shot, he just tried to defense by putting the cue ball behind the six.. but, then, magic happens, the Z shot !

LOL with the reaction of his opponent in 1:40

1:35 reyes opponent, he did'nt know how the genius shot of efren reyes..

oh no shot clock

Efren didn't take a bath on this game, and that's a fact.:)

Can someone pls tell me what are the rules in this match? If you pocketed the 8 ball, do you have to pocket all balls?

Nothing but a lucky roll @ 1:30. The 8 rolling in hurt him tremendously. He needed the safety he was going for. He played a safety ONLY because he had to because of his previous bad position.

What do you mean safety? There's no way to play safety in that situation, that's efren last hurrah, that's a do or die shot, one miss, you're a dead duck, but efren is efren, the one and only the master magician..( GOAT ).

yung una nyang tinirang dinublete at kombinasyon hndi chamba dahil tinuro nya ng tako yung bolang papasok ( 1:14 ) , yung pnagalawa nyang 3 banda ginawa ulit nya yung nung year 2000 somthing yung taiwanese ata yung klaban nya nun..

Efren want the 5 ball to kiss to 8 ball but saddenly the 8 went in

pack saying efren pocketed 8ball intentionaly. its accident dude look his reaction and interview after the game.

What trouble???

2nd best ever... the p earl is the greatest, & to all of you bitching about his "behaviour", try living with bi-polar disorder for just one week. earl rules.

Manny Boy If it's Efren vs Earl, it's reasonable to say that the best player is whoever is at the table. Either of them can run off several games or even a whole set - at least back then. When they played their race to 120 back in '96, they were both virtually flawless and equally amazing

J. Rogers damn straight, against c.j. wiley, who didn't want to pay, so earl had to take him to court! i think he accepted a one lump sum payment of 557,000, or something like that. if they were to play a race to 100 today, i bet the farm on earl.

kng s basketball c MICHAEL JORDAN , c EFREN BATA REYES nmn ay s BILLIARD TABLE :)

on kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGZ_2Klppraclbw.html if you want to aim hit that ball you doesn't needed to aim the hard long rail.. you can aim the short rail... why he take the long rail because that has a chance the ball can be pocket in dude... what a shot..!! Respect for Reyes...

Thats a clear fluke

earl was a good sport ... but then the color of money match ...came not a good sport then lol

miss-able, but not a fluke - watch enough footage of Efren and you'll see that he is THE master of kick shots, to make or play safe. I'm sure he's been practicing them his whole life

@keeleyg1

J. Rogers It's not magic. It's an excellent escape from a snooker followed by a piece of good fortune. In a situation like this, the player understands that potting the ball is a POSSIBILITY, and he should call the pocket if playing a call-pocket game. Doing this is worlds apart from EXPECTING to pot the ball, which you're suggesting Reyes did in this case. I know he's a genius but I can't swallow that...

He did that more than thrice in other tournament he played in. Efren was a good carom player so that shot was never a fluke. You can watch him play balkline 72.1 in youtube if you want proof.

he intended that to happen... but there is no 100% guarantee that he will succeed because that shot is like a super rare tough shot that only efren would dare to do in a tournament... and that is why he is the magician and a legend

@keeleyg1

Jeffrey Alvarez Wrong. He didn't 'dare' to do anything. By your rationale, he could have easily played to put it safe, but deliberately chose to pot it instead. This is rather hard to swallow. Indeed he is a great player (arguably the greatest), but please try to maintain some sense of perspective...
