Yep, if you guys want to cast a match between two of the best in the world and produce a video here, go for it. Otherwise, shut up, support pool, and support the commentators for doing the same. Thanks for the match!

Ronnie…A young Efren....What a pleasure watching these to play. My all-time favorite players

Admittedly, I did NOT have the greatest time covering this match. Although it was an honor, I was ill prepared and Truman and I are not used to working with each other. In Truman's defense, he does not have all the experience as a commentator that he should most likely have earned before doing such a high profile match. But hey, this video is FREE, remember. Beat me or join me!

You& Truman needs to read up on your pool player's and who the best is and was, Efren Reyes is not the best player that ever lived, the best player in the world is Alfredo de Oro he has 22" world titles in straight pool & 22" world titles in 3 cushion billiards, Efren Reyes don't come close to that margin, Alfredo de Oro is Nick named ** the grand daddy of pool** because he's the best ,go study pocket billiards so all you commentators can stop lying to pool player's and pool fans.

A spliff, a snickers-bar, and world-class pool !! Thats a menu hard to resist!!………..Cheers…..

That runout on the 7th rack by Alcano was artistic. Amazing to watch these two.

@21:25 what a shot!

It’s 2019, and I truly think this is the best match on KZread. You see the true creativity and knowledge these guys have acquired. Alcano was playing at the top of his game in this video. He’s kinda fell off since then. A true pleasure to see these Philippino gods play.

More of Ronnie Alcano please!

Thanks for uploading this. I would have loved to watch the PPV but too late here on the east coast!

So when you play the object ball OFF another object ball it's a carom, and when you play the cue ball off a ball to re-use the cue ball to pocket another, it's a billiard. Is that correct? I'd (earnestly) like to get this accurate. :) Thanks for watching -- and thank you also for your edification.

2 of top 5 players of all times for me. alcano won the world champioship in 2006 if im not mistaken, and i havent seen him missing more than 2 shots per game. its too bad he came when reyes exited his prime. as for alcano, he said his idol is efren, he has the same mustache as him and some people say that he did an operation on his upper lip to get it looking like one of reyes. incredible story behind those two masters.

Thank you POV pool for another wonderful video and capturing another hour of great pool. We also thank you for allowing goplaypool com to be part of this experience.

I can confirm that these guys are good at pool

The camera quality is awesome guys. I would tone the light and/or contrast down just a shade though. Balls are so bright you can't read the numbers easily. Light reflection off the next table is a little strong too. Keep it up and thanks.

good stuff, thanks for posting this

I've never seen Efren miss so many easy shots. It looks like he was rushing a little bit. He's still one of my favorites.

Great vid pov! Kept it up!

What track starts the clip?

A carom is any contact between two balls other than the initial contact of the cue ball to the object ball after the stroke. A billiard is the when an object ball redirects the cue ball into the ball intended to be pocketed. This comes from billiards where the cue ball must strike two object balls to receive points. SO, every billiard shot--like the one at 9:57--is a carom shot, but not every carom is a billiard shot. However, using the terms in this manner applies only to pocket billiards.

It was a hell of a hit, definitely deserved a little applause

Commentator is having constant poolgasms.

the shot on 21.20,.whoa,i didn't see that coming!

yes u will have a problem but with enough practice u get used to it u must play on tables with blue cloth a lot some tines its hard to see the 2 ball on a blue cloth so people that play on blue will have trouble with the green 6 on green cloth / and people that play often on blue will have trouble on 2 ball begin blue but with enough table time u get used to it so practice practice practice just pick one color table and stick to it i suggest blue since most tournaments use blue

amazing

I was a darn good pool player in my day but even so, I wasn't near this guys caliber.

I was too excited about the match to do even a remotely decent job. I know it's youtube so its easy to be exceedingly critical without thinking it through, but I actually take the criticism to heart and intend to do better in the future. Regards

You sir are an inspiration. Not very many people now a days have a true passion for the game like you do. There was absolutely nothing wrong with your commentary at all. Honestly, besides watching this video several times a week for shooting inspiration, I truly enjoy your completely sincere reactions to the amazing shots made by both of my #1 players (they're tied in my book,lol). Please, PLEASE do more commentary!!! I've seen a video of your game and it makes me happy that this game, obsession is still alive and carrying on. Thank you again for the enjoyment of your take on the match. 👌👍

Wow, incredible display of talent here..

Who is live streaming the one pocket in Sacramento?

Yeah. It was great to watch two masters of the game, but I couldn't deal with the commentators and muted the sound after 10-15 minutes.

Looks like a fun time

that was amazing how the commentators didn't know Efren was selling the game

Hard times for Efren

Who are those crazy guys just casually playing a few games while this is on?! For crying out loud, go get a beer and pull up a stool! Legendary skill on display. Probably didn't recognise them; Reyes especially is so unassuming.

Thanks for posting this. I've never seen Efren so inconsistent.

dear commentators, the shot at 9:57 is call "carom", not "billiard".

By the way I like commentary. Isn't the best I've heard and isn't the worst. At least they are watching the match, unlike some commentators who talk about everything under the sun and don't even comment on the match. I don't mind some enthusiasm. Not everybody who watches these things is a jaded knowitall who knows everything there is to know about the tiny world of professional pool--and if that describes you, just turn your sound off, shouldn't be too hard.

New to pool, wanting to learn more. So i am trying to work out why they sink their respected objects, then sink the black but then sink the others solid/stripes? Thanks.

10 ball is the new pro 9 ball. That one extra ball makes a huge difference not to mention 10 ball completely takes out the luck factor. If you want to learn how to play pool, WATCH THE PROS! B/c if you aren't trying to do what the pros are doing then who are you trying to play like. Look at the decisions the pros do in all the different situations and try to replicate it. Chess is like pool. It's all about the right move. Good Luck!

Great great match! they play with smaller pocket and still do the same level as they are!

And for the announcers... keep ur head up guys its not as easy up there as it seems and if u truely love the game its easy to get caught up in good play... keep the vids comeing and practice practice practice;)

That first table run was insane.

These commentators sound like this is the first time they've ever seen a pool game. Lol.

Shot at 10ish minute mark is a billiard.. carom is when you pocket a ball by hitting an object ball and having that object ball strike another object ball. Shooting the cue ball into an object ball and having the cue ball hit and pocket another ball is a billiard shot. bad explanation but it's the difference lol. Cool game.

ေကာင်းပါတယ်

lol you actually replied. In any case, thumbs up to you for great effort.

is this the gold crown 2?

Ten (10) ball.

Ronnie Cue is just so amazing, lots of power and stun ball shots.

he shot it at 2;30 o'clock forcing the cue ball to bump the rail and the counter-english so that it moves downwards away from the rail, instead of moving forward.

idk about all the drama i think it was great all around remember its about the pool love the video its one of my favorite matches

21:26 what? Is it even possible? Or just Bata Reyes?

Sorry that you didn't get to see any one-pocket from the chuck markulis event. I was mis-informed, i guess.

I believe you are right... Dennis does appear to hit the 2 first.

5-ball and a 2-ball. It was the 5-ball off the 2-ball combo ;)

Sorry to say so, but it looks suspiciously like Efren is dumping. Giving away one break on an easy miss would be one thing, but three times?!? Looks a little fishy to me.
