EFREN REYES vs SHANNON DAULTON - 1999 Derby City Classic 9-Ball

"The Magician" takes on "The Cannon" late in the 9-ball division of the very first Derby City Classic in 1999.
Efren Reyes is accepted by most followers of the game as the best all around player of our modern times. You name the game and he has won multiple titles in that game. He has many nicknames, including "The Magician" or "Bata", but we all know him as the GOAT.
Kentucky's Shannon "The Cannon" Daulton was known more for his banks and one pocket game, but he was still a very formidable opponent for anyone playing 9-ball.
This is 9-ball, race to 7, winner breaks. Reyes still had a buyback in the event.
Bill Incardona and Danny Diliberto were in the booth.

Loving these matches from the early days of Derby. Also love 9 ball and one pocket from the greats of the 90s like Cliff etc.

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING CLASSIC ERA POOL ALIVE FOR US ALL...With all the disciplines, especially 14.1 and 1 hole.

I played Efren in 2017; the game was the best three out of five in nine ball. Of course he beat me and I enjoyed it. - - - If you are ever in the Huntsville Alabama area just stop by Steve's Cue and Grill - - - as you walk in you will see a picture of Efren and I on the left just outside the entrance of my cue repair shop - - - I'm there every week, if I'm not in my shop just walk up to the bar and look to your right - - - I am normally setting at the first table having coffee or unsweetened tea - - - if you shoot pool, since I own all the Diamond pool tables in the bar, the table time will be on me!

Haven’t watched a match this good in a while.

Efren won the first ever one pocket tournament at Derby City apparently as usual he showed he's the best player In pool history because no matter the game or how old he is he's still dangerous as a butcher knife

[@MrMotastic]

That last rack had me on the edge of my seat.

[@hustlinao1488]

There was no long line to play this legend in the 90,s at any game at Derby! SHANNON "THE CANNON" DAULTON

[@zanethind]

One of the best matches I've ever seen. Hell of a performance by both men and congratulations on Shannon winning

[@tomburns890]

Anyone know what size pockets they used on this table. They kept saying the wrong angle wouldn’t accept certain shorts. 4.25”. They look like 4.5”. Thx

[@Sc3tchy]

wow wooooow wow what an incredible match! congratulations Shane!!

[@louisbuzzi869]

Efren Reyes is the GOAT

[@zanethind]

Reyes didn't look like he was having it here but great catch up from him from being down to two

[@Rick-ro8bf]

40:02 Sir. Raymond Ceulemens says... hmmmm, you sure about that Bill? haha I think there's a match on youtube of them playing balkline. I'm looking for it after this.

[@adamdew6789]

let us know if you find it!

[@magicayu]

@Rick-ro8bf @adamdew6789 It's the Efren Reyes vs Raymond Ceulemens 71/2 balkline match on iralee3c channel (on youtube) that Bill was talking about.

[@dillhole4603]

👁️👁️ hello

[@ksi5530]

hello mate

[@raskolnjikov1]

Efren´s kicking here was horrendous. Shows how much luck you need to make all those "famous" kick shots.

[@LeonFleisherFan]

The luck percentage diminishes greatly with practice - only need to watch some pro-level 3-Cushion (another of Efren's favorite games) to realize how accurate one can get. I remember quite distinctly, back when I was young and played on a daily basis, the feel one develops. They say playing pool is like riding a bicycle, and while this is true to an extent, the reality is, the feel for intricacies comes and goes with practice.

[@raskolnjikov1]

@@LeonFleisherFan yes it´s knowledge plus lots of luck

[@thetexascaromclub8741]

Reyes never was the best balkline player at any time in his career not close , he enjoyed it and plays it good but Billy somehow got the idea that he’s a top player of it but that’s not the case at all
