World Pool Masters #6 = Efren Reyes vs. Ralf Souquet

[@toshiru07]

i dont know how many times efren has brought me to the edge of my seat eagerly anticipating the next shot!! amazing match.

[@juandeveraturda4392]

Win or lose, Efren Reyes is our national pride and honor! Mabuhay!

[@TropangMentalGAgoals]

The greatest of all time ika nga hehhehe

[@LeonFleisherFan]

What a nailbiter! Interestingly, while I've (rarely!) seen Reyes (my favourite player) play worse (rushing things, unlike here, where he seems to be fighting the speed of the table, running out of learning time so to speak), I've never seen him make so many mistakes. Ralf doesn't appear to have an easy time adjusting to the apparently brand new cloth either (notice most mistakes are on shots where the cue ball slides/deflects), but on the whole makes the usual fine job of it. Thanks for this!

[@victory01]

wow! great quality. thanks poster!

[@GrahamFos]

man ive got heartache to see efren play like that. hes my favorite player.

[@victory01]

that was a killer shot! reyes is super creative. he does is so naturally its sick!

[@Szylwius]

Great upload, thank you!

[@derwahreTJ]

always love the vids. keep em up!

[@MrGalaticos]

Damn! What a match! I've never seen so many mistakes made by this two professionals!!

[@killercraigaaaw]

Great match. It's nice to know that both of these players are human after all. It's difficult to root for either one of these guys, only because you would be rooting against the other. Reyes and Souquet are both great competitors. It was nice to see a hill-hill match.

[@JackRabbitS1im]

Why are there so many glitchy errors in the video quality of all BClub's videos? I am asking seriously, because I don't see video errors like that anywhere else on KZbin. Not really complaining, just curious?

[@MarkDConnelly]

Wow! Reyes going between the 2&9 to try and hit the 1. Amazing effort.

[@IcarusFlying]

wow that was hard to watch. incredible match. excellent playing for anyone. bad playing for them. this video introduced me to Ralph, so i was cheering for Effren. that's just too bad. Still a very close match.

[@MacManLtd]

I think this is one of the videos they had to reupload b/c of some ads in it. I'm saying this b/c i feel I've seen this already, either on youtube or on tv.

[@TheImmortalFlip]

@32KOAST Filipino fans of reyes are pool players.. Billiard halls in the Philippines are everywhere.. it's second behind basketball in terms of popularity in Philippines.................

[@bushidoway]

good match, i thought there was gonna be a different outcome because of the 2nd to last, but it was def clutch

[@andre0407]

It was great. Thanks. :)

[@BishopLab]

I'm pretty sure Souqet is one of the few, if not the only tour player to have a winning record against Efren. I don't remember ever seeing Strickland best him even once in a televised match. Ralph may not be the most exciting player but he is at the very highest level and if u ever wanted to pick someones game to emulate, pick his.

[@antonionaimlopezhernandez6091]

Alcano fue su terror, Strickland y parica

[@tibeatz89]

souquet is my favourite player! thanks for this video! i've been waiting for a new souquet-match so long =)

[@LeonFleisherFan]

To avoid misunderstanding, the latter was meant to be a response to those who believe Efren to be thrown off by Ralf's rhythm (or lack thereof). There's simply no use obsessing over distraction of any kind. To concentrate on what one has influence on is all we can do, to complain about what others do or are like a loss of time and effort. Also, one's got to admire Ralf for not relenting, for not shooting before he's made up his mind, for putting his stamp on the game, for shrugging off criticsm.

[@tetah04]

10:44 that was a sick shot.. damn!!

[@frontdesk6225]

LOVE U M TAPP

[@christopherdelislemusic]

You mean 2006, the year it says in the description?

[@Vintage_375]

One of the best pros vs pressure matches I've seen in a long time.

[@junkyjuice21]

wow that was a heart-pounder

[@wpkid7]

@NAMTRIP this tourney is alternate break instead of winner break

[@TVOham]

In the beginning of each match they do what's called a "lag" where each player hits a ball off the opposing cushion and whomever gets closer to the cushion nearest them on the way back gets to have the first break. That means they also get the sudden death breaks as well. As far as all other occasions, whomever wins the rack before gets the next break.

[@ColinZabransky]

In 9-Ball, after the break the first shooter has the opportunity to execute a 'Push Out' where the cue ball is moved. If the opponent doesn't like the push, he returns the shot to the first shooter.

[@nycjin2977]

Agreed. I've always had respect for Ralf's game. I saw him in the 2000 US Open straight pool finals and he was always composed and seemed unflappable. He's always respectful and a nice guy to boot.

[@vanceoliver]

@COLUMBINE1818 agreed.

[@garywest3438]

Trying to watch a World Pool Masters and ever few moments it's cut off and want complete any of the matches.

[@italiombiano]

you are mistaken, it is Rodney morris, not randy

[@zabogi]

between the two and the nine!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME !!! lol

[@de23Emil]

nice! keep posting!:D

[@italiombiano]

@ 11:15 how the HELL did he get between that 2-9, man that guy is nasty, off a kick lol. efren is a beast no matter how you look at it, two legends, i cant say which player i like better

[@golfingmadeeasy]

Where's the sound?

[@IronMonkee]

It's nice when you like both players, because then you're happy at who ever wins.

[@sHarivaRi1]

true story.

[@32KOAST]

@idunnowhattotype yeah, running a pool hall is a tough buisness, majority of successful ones have pros running it. I play at Shooters in Toronto and Jon white owns it. I believe he was a former world snooker champion.

[@AlexisHizamshahMohdSazali]

gud game

[@mikecabral1579]

Shot clock!!

[@sHarivaRi1]

Can anybody explain what a "former" World Champion is?

[@Chichi441544]

Former world champion means some one who was a champion before but isn't one now.

[@victory01]

i don't think his accuracy has hurt. the only thing i've noticed go down is his ball speed.

[@QuotaPBaby]

your supposed to watch it and get into the anticipation

[@jobw87]

Those are 2 of my 3 top favs! And what a match? My eyes were glued to the screen, even when I was driving. I'm so :0)

[@StevenNorko]

That REF is one Hellava good lookin lady.❤

[@frontdesk6225]

WOULD MARRY MS TAPP IN A HEARTBEAT

[@heylookitsbschmidt]

The game is a "nail biter"....

[@d1st0rt3dsan1ty]

I love watching Reyes play, so I'm kind of disappointed that this clip skipped literally half of the racks. :-l

[@useranother667]

nobody wants to watch ralf take all day to take a shot

[@DV7Dave]

Why do you say rigged?

[@cirrus8791]

The sponsor names on the overhead view is obnoxious and distracting...

[@capoman1]

The commentator said "Ralf is far from intimidated by Reyes..." I think that "farfromintimidated" is actually a German word.

[@LeonFleisherFan]

Even if so, I'm sure Efren would be the first to tell you that it's his fault if he can't deal with it. Also, in formats not implying alternate break, there's a recipe indirectly based on Irving Crane's old saying: "The guy in the chair can't hurt you!"

[@billd9266]

please don't use stop action. or overhead view.

[@sHarivaRi1]

In Billard it doesnt matter which hand you prefer ;) Like Guitargasm said. Only 10-15 percent of world population are left handed. So its not surprising that most of the pro players are righthanded ;) I'm left handed too.

[@ekuut181]

@Nkellbe1 I think what he meant by that statement is that it was a "nail biter" kind of game and her nails were still intact.

[@Guitargasm17]

Most people are right handed

[@kristiantheheathen]

@NAMTRIP - Some American pool player (I forget who) was quoted to have said, "The more I practice, the luckier I get.") Reyes creates his "luck" more often than not. And that remark about Hitler? How low can you go?

[@gavinhadley7672]

..Souquet has Efren’s number for sure

[@eviljdog]

game 14 was very strange

[@jhampereyra]

this is just the 1st round..Its still Efren won the championship via 9-7 racks over Randy Morris...if Im not mistaken...

[@djoncarlo]

can someone tell me why ralf nearly always breaks, like at the last game. how come he broke and not efren? im new to this game

[@joeygonzo]

Efren once told me, he can't beat Ralph if he didn't have a good night's sleep the night before the match. lol I kid you not. I once saw Chamat and RS take 3+ hours to race to 11. It was so disgusting the crowd were almost yelling at them b/c they were holding the next session.

[@Bart_Depestele]

@masterswish mmm well it depends, full moon .. instinctive feelings .. ;)

[@Bart_Depestele]

@Dominic Donald get a life bitch

[@jjooeegg1]

Efren Sunshine wins again!!!!

[@tzytnt2007]

@sk80soarus i think he's playing with a 314 2 shaft, dunno about the cue

[@Bart_Depestele]

This is better than porno :-) Thanks for upload BCn

[@hudas75]

he mention in the early interview that he own efren, by tournaments or money games?

[@truStyle101]

@sk80soarus he's playin with a Joss custom cue and a predator 314 shaft

[@johnraphaelcaadan714]

5:20

[@arvadj753]

the quility of the video is holy shit

[@nickb2187]

Why wasn't it a foul (ball in hand) when Reyes didn't hit the 2 ball just before 30:00?

[@123datang]

@NAMTRIP u need to have the skills first before you can get lucky

[@billspicer6008]

You are correct. Some people just don't get it. This was one of the best and worst matches I've seen.

[@RonnieTheRocketFan]

10:22 the 9ball disappears

[@richiandreas7609]

11:00 Only reyes can do it...

[@joeygonzo]

Where did it COME from, you mean. He was suggesting to all Pinoys to hold off eating and quitting on watching the match.

[@32KOAST]

reyes is great, but majority of people who are a fan of reyes, arent pool players at all.

[@joeygonzo]

@MrMudneck He hit that cueball a tad too low.

[@joeygonzo]

I've never seen Efren play this bad.

[@sharpskinhead1976]

the best!!!!

[@Kornhulio18]

horrible video compression! Really annoying

[@BufardeLL]

I can't see the balls because of quality !

[@useranother667]

xvideos comment

[@honeybun6912]

two of the best Pool players Mike Sigel and ? Name the old timer?! ..... Ralph Greenleaf!!!

[@nivrealedasor265]

Dapat typhoon itawag dito kay Kaiser ksi parang hangin na paikot ikot eh

[@lskshmariemostolesdhksks9719]

Haha 😂

[@hotd34me1991]

Poor Efren he almost never screws up his position I think he was probably shaken up from playing someone in his league even a top rank pool player like Efren can get nervous.

[@max369963]

Funny how people can twist a statement and make it sound negative, he was remarking about her being nervous and chewing her nails. DUH.

[@rubic64]

why is so many jumping on the commentator? concentrate at the match and not a joke that you didnt understand because the joke was great! it was not an insult as you might think, he meant that she tewed them apart of nervs

[@Bloodstryke]

skip to 5:18 to start match

[@joshhustla]

i think ralf juz got lucky ,thats what it is,efren is the god of pool thats all i can say......

[@shyan042688]

i just noticed how closely ralf souquet resembles michel foucault...

[@luishernandez-ld6ul]

Yo le gano a reyes fasil

[@Zialox]

they call Souquet the kaiser?? lol epic matchup tho

[@useranother667]

more like the boring slowfuck

[@rebeccacaadan7129]

Elena of Avalor 5:20

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Never seen efren play this bad

[@joemac92]

don't read the comments..u dont want to spoil this one

[@benzino248]

Archer is worse...he'll look and look, but so will Ralf. However, Ralf usually makes more shots after he has studied 30000 different options in his head.

[@lemonite1]

Cuz its rotation and ya' gotta git a good shot on the lowest numbered ball, nine ball can become an ugly game.

[@alwinfeolino695]

i think he "push"

[@phixxwutwut]

@uchihay2g johnny archer def
