EFREN REYES VS FRANCISCO BUSTAMANTE - 2003 US Open 9-Ball Championship

Two of the most highly accomplished Filipino players in the history of the game, face off twenty years ago with Efren Reyes taking on Francisco Bustamante at the 2003 US Open 9-Ball Championship.
Francisco “Django” Bustamante had just won the Challenge of Champions a month before this event, and had won a Joss NE 9-Ball Tour stop a week before this match.
Efren “Bata” Reyes was coming off a win at the Las Vegas Open a month before this match and had won a San Miguel 9-Ball Tour stop earlier in the year.
Jim Wych and Billy Incardona provide the expert commentary and Incardona tells fans who is the better karaoke singer and who is the better dancer between Reyes and Bustamante.
Watch late in the match to see which other match on the floor was intriguing enough to distract both Reyes and Bustamante.

Bustamante has won over 70 International titles and is considered one of the best pool players of all time. 🤜🏽🇵🇭🤛🏽

They are both Filipinos and they really, really know who is the BEST/G. O. A. T.

[@jdmikeg4]

Bustamante and Reyes are like best friends. They've been playing each other for years, DECADES. This is just another game for them.

Qué hermoso partido. Un juego muy limpio. Al final el oponente le demostró su respeto al no permitir el tiro final. Disfruté de principio a fin. Dos grandes jugadores.

I love that gesture at the end. Bustamante resiqns and Efren doesn't need to shoot the last Ball. :) It's good sportmanship.

[@patriciajrs46]

I think this is just wonderful! At one tournament, here on you tube, he and Bustamonte are team partners. I believe Efren is the best!! These two players have played hours of pool, carom, snooker, and anything else in the philipines, before they ever came to America to play.

The real legend matches for me are with Efren and the Pearl!But this match with Bustamante is great as well!!!

[@respectmyauthoritah1875]

Two of the best players ever to play the game.

[@WhateverUre]

Francisco Bustanmante what a guy

[@MsTyrie]

It seems that a bonus on making the 9 ball on the break adds a bit of risk of scratching and more turnover. I'm okay with that.

[@HDJoltTV]

I kinda doubt the $500 reward changes how the pros are taking their breaks

[@Neillybob63]

What the hell was the camera guy doing the last few games of the match?... the view of bottom third and the complete right side of the table were barely non-existent. Wrecked what would have been an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable match.

[@sergeykhachaturov9397]

Yes, he has hit em 34 mph

Yes because you can beat Django much more efficiently.
