if he was doing that then he wouldnt be able to focus on the shots and the order of the shots necessary to win the game since its not about only pocketing a ball one at a time but also setting up your next shot with the cue ball and thats only 1 shot, you need ot basically map out which shots to take in which order to take them to yeild the easiest possible position for every single shot, so you need to calculate what ball to hit and where u need the cus ball for the next shot, on top of figuring the order of the shots so you can have the cus ball in the position after each shot for the following shot, times that by the number of balls the player need ot make and you see the game is more about stragtey and realization of the order of shot needed to clear a certain rack

Yeah man it's almost strickland had a meltdown in the end, fouling the ball hitting it w/ his stick, so much frustration running in his head, he had a freakin 17 RACK LEAD, and he blew it away, he was getting outplayed, then mentally he just crumbled in the end.

Efren said 9 ball is his least favorite pocket billiards game but still he excels at it. Efren reyes the best.

the most humble person I've seen

Srickland is a great shot maker. He never missed (or rarely missed) a makecable shot. But then, so is efren. The difference is efren's overall in-depth knowledge of the table. His superb skill on angles, kicking, trick shot and other weird shots that earned him the name 'magician' that he consistently applies to overcome obstacle. Strickland once told efren that he was just 'lucky' when making those weird shots. Efren's response? '...how can i win (against you) if i don't make those kind of shots!'

Thats is Efren's humbleness and respect for anyone

Earl is a better 9 ball player w/o doubt but Efren is the GOAT in Pool. 9 ball, 8 ball, Straight Pool One Pocket, Billiards, Bank Ball whatever Ball he can play at a high level.

earl strickland needs to take some anger management classes

It's easy to root for Efren, and easy to not care if Earl loses. Efren us humble and classy. I've learned a lot from his attitude at the table. He never shows up his opponent.

Earl is a great shot BUT Efren is a LEGEND

The master at work ! ! Just another win by the best player ever ! ! Thank you efrem REYES ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Its Earls fault,he blew a 17 game lead no excuses.

Man, you know these guys were totally wasted after this marathon. Missing shots like that.

Efren once again proving he's the Goat.

"this man has some problems." LOL, that's an understatement. earl is a child in a man's body.

I. do. not. like. Earl. Strickland. Efren Reyes is a more established player and is a professional player. It's not hard to see the different skill levels when watching them in a match. Earl is a very good player; however, Reyes has more respect for the game.

Efren is the best small table player I’ve ever seen, and what a lovely man!!! Then there’s earl hahahahaha

Simply the best..!! Always was , always will be.!!

Why do people say love him to Earl?He have attitude problem.I still remember when i first watch efren vs earl.The first look on earl face,i already hate him without knowing he have a attitude problem.And he have so many story when he didn't make a ball.And like to critic people so unmature just a game.

It's not just a game when in the end you can win 100,000$

You can say that Strickland turned the crowd away and sunk himself with attitude, but honestly, it would just be torture to play Reyes. He is to good. Hardly ever missing a shot (the ball AND the positioning for the next). You would just sit in despair.

Robert Gallo like, for example, you have to know your table each and every time. When he see that some balls in a very bad position, he can just failed a shot purposedly, let the enemy clear the other ball the the bad positioning ball, enemy failed the shot, he can finaly shot the bad positioning ball since the position is changed. Less energy used since the enemy is clearing most of the ball, but he can still finish the table. I mean, it's just one of the possibilities. There's a lot of reason that we don't know yet

If you are talking about the missed 2, that was fatigue. He already had ball in hand. No reason to play mind games at that point

this is good game, no one hurts, no cheating, and a clever thing that works on the mind of a player that makes him on the top. this is great sports! billiards!

Earl "the girl" Strickland...Hahahahahahahahaha...

Funny thing, each Win costs $ 833.33. So, 120 Wins totals $ 100,000. Tiring game and anything can happen. Efren got the best out of tantrum Earl

what was the score?

Does anyone know why this was a race to 120 instead of 100? It seems like a race to 100 would've been long enough and made more sense given that they were playing for $100,000.

@gad0 Efren receieved 55K. The parity was 65-35 and Efren bought at 10K insurance from his manager. He won, so he netted 55K.

I thought it was some part of the movie!

Reyes is such a gentleman playing this game, The Pearl is a friggin whining CRY BABY.

240 resolution is NOT good enough. You are FIRED!

I don't know Strickland personally, but I imagine a race to 1-freaking-20! for $100k, vs Effren Reyes, losing a 17 game lead could be a little taxing, mentally.

@tzytnt2007 smart crowd!!!!

If earl had kept his head on straight he would’ve won... but massive props to efren, 17 games down vs prime Strickland for the comeback is fucking ridiculous.

0:35 sportsmanshiplessness

Earl has no class

HE EVEN GOT A KISSED FROM a fan

Earl ran out of cocaine toward the end. Check that insane look in his eyes. He looks like an angry hillbilly at a bar getting ready to fight, a wife-beater before a rampage or after he gets caught. Earl imagined he could win through drug enhanced stamina. But he forgot that Efren is naturally accustomed to playing all day and night his entire life. Reyes is a patient, intelligent, wise man who embraces games of strategy like chess and all forms of billiards. Even Earl's natural talent and fierce competitiveness is no match for the Filipino's gracious cool calm determination. Efren never came unnerved. Earl's loss was deserved. Justice was served.

I didn't know Pete Webber played 9 ball.

Nice camera movement, no shot seen

117-120:)

Earl made incredible shots though, but he became his worst enemy.

Earl = Floyd

galing u idol...maarte ka lang minsan khit kya muna ipasok... haha

Earl the egoe Strickman

I understand why earl always throws tantrums in a game especially if he aint playing well or missing shots becoz earl play the game for perfection while Efren plays the game mostly for pride and fun and just to give the fans a fun game to watch.its almost impossible to beat earl in short races especially in 9 ball but long races like this efren always have the advantage coz imo.he is mentally stronger than earl.both legends and both greatest pool players that ever lived.

You can see the pressure of the moments and days of play in both men. Efren handled it, and executed regardless. Earl let it break him.
