Salute to this two legends from PH Efren & Django🇵🇭 and also they are the best tandem for me.

I was rooting for Bustamante that time, he was such in great shape, but man Reyes just unstoppable in this match, that 9 racks in the row just unbelievable. Too bad they've met in the semis..

Reyes at his peak of his prime. But what impress me the most is his superb breaks in this game. Its very rare that i see Efren break that consistent. Wow this is a battle of 2 MAESTROS.

His break in the 3rd and final day of the match "The Color of Money" with Strickland was even better. He transformed after 2 days of terrible breaks and he came back from 17 racks under, as you probably know.

I think he played so well here because him and Django are best friends. They've played each other hundreds if not thousands of times.

@@OrrosGG Efren's prime was in his 20's. No one could be him, he said so himself. He got banned from pool tournaments and quit pool for 5 years to learn 3 cushion billiards, and after a few years got banned from that because he kept winning those too. That's why he took his friend's name Cesar Morales and came to the US to hustle.

You also see Efren rarely miss but he did in rack 2 with the 6 ball because of his mistake not getting enough angle to pot it

Efren used his left hand at 18:37 with a perfect position on the 6th amazing just amazing Legend!

The British one was the best one out of the pair honestly. The American one was super generic

Sid's always reminded me of Monty Python's sportscaster skits.

Thank you Matchroom Pool for posting this great video. Damn, this is incredible pool by Reyes. Truly one of his best games. He deserves the title of the GOAT, and was already beginning to get it back then, despite all the other incredible players. It took him another 15 years to truly prove it, not only in victories -- especially in the Derby City Classic games -- but also in the great money matches.

Well, that man should be made a national hero in his country. What a great great player. What a great human being as well🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

If Bustamante did not scratch,he is possible to win victory,but both of them i will salute them.....

Awesome match. Efren Reyes is most definitely the GOAT when it comes to pool

This semifinal was the ideal final

Our legendary childhood heroes are still around, but so bittersweet to watch them at their peak…was a good time to be alive. #djangojeteyedpredatorfan4life

Parihas na magaling sa billiards...Bustamante lookalike zorin legaspi phillippine actor. 👍👍👍👍

Woww grabe, grabe ang isang efren " Bata " reyes a.k.a " The magician " 1-3 halos hindi na pinatira si bustamante naiinip na sa kakaupo halos uminit ang pwet niya sa kakaupo HAHAH napahanga mo kami idol efren, hindi na kami magugulat kaya pala idolo ka ng lahat lalo na ang papa ko ❤ magaling din sa billard 🎱 ikaw ang "Da Greatest Player Ever n Da World," Mahal ka namin lahat. 🌏🐐🎱🎱🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆

Janggo ,,the most strongest in billiards breakballing,

Great Efren Reyes an unmatched pool player ever lived before on this planet he's got many things on him that make him the Goat the whole world loves you sir you put the pool in a superb level long live Bata Reyes.

Superb play.. well done ER! 👍🎱

Greatest performance in pool

Jim Amps up, Syd amps down. These two characters are trying to inject excitement into the play that doesn't need it. Almost hilarIOUS!

The British dude is a great commentator

Miss this kind of tournanent

Best commentator ever

Great fight, and the ref too

Makalla Tab is so pretty.

I forgot this match up that Django up 3-1 then Efren goes for 9 rack in a row. 🐐 Things.

i watched efren when he was in mid 20's here in the philipines if thre's only video camera by that time the (mirons)pr the viewers say this man comes from another planet and efren at the age of 20 if he is already in america i think no one can beat him even the best of the best american hustlers

Jimmy White tan bueno como Efrén, así varios como por ejemplo Willy Mosconi o Earl Strickland, juegos que vale la pena ver.

Hell no, If they are as good as Efren, why most people, players, commentators, critics, and fans all says Efren is the GOAT..

11-4 same result as the 2022 semi final match between fransisco Sanchez Ruiz v Shane van boening

Bustamante juega vien. Pero no es rival para reyes

Organizers make sure to prevent all-Filipino finals. They always put them in the same bracket. This is an example.

Gotta love the commentator lol

Why did he have to call Efren old? He is ONLY 45 years old.... It is still young by any standards...

4 racks missing. bad job matchroom!

洞口太大

Who is the annoying commentator with the scottish accent at the beginning? Had to switch because he is painfully awful to listen to.. Talks quick.. then slow... the goes dull... the goes hyper... then sounds like he's about to burp & then moans out a sound.

Bustamante es bolollon en billar .. j j j
