[@Unknown-qy3dx]

Efren Reyes, or the magician, did not gain his exquisite and unique proficiency from nothing. He started playing pool since he was 8 y/o and now he's 65 y/o (dated today) which means he has been playing pool for 57 years (born August 26, 1954). Efren has mastered the entire pool table angles, strikes force, unimaginable control and precision on the cue ball, and a very high self-confidence with absolutely no vanity (He's very humble and friendly by the way). Two more things about Efren Reyes, he has never underestimated any opponent, and he has never neglected the calculation of any hit no matter how easy the ball is. God bless Efren Bata Reyes.

[@youcanbesmartaskhow3857]

He started playing as early as 5 years old. We've heard that story. And if you watched enough games, you would see he HAS made mistakes. Like against Tony 'The Sniper' Crosby [2006?] he made multiple 'miscalculations ' on relatively easy shots. Despite his success he stays very humble, and has played at the highest level since 1985, an incredible period of time to be "in his prime". He is the greatest.

[@xiewei3453]

[@kimberlyfrost4730]

One of the most enjoyable pool shooters in history. The one thing that sets him apart from most is his understanding of risk vs reward. That left handed shot to push the 6 ball past the stripe is a classic example of that. He knew it was risky but he also understood that had he made it he would have had an easy run out. Been watching him do this for many years and his success shows how profitable that mindset can be.

Efren reyes never lose in big money. Reyes the best ever pool player

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

Yes Efren did lose a big money game to Buddy (The Who?) Hall! In 1985 - Efren (aka Ceasar Morales) matched up with Buddy - Even - for 10K, 10 ahead 10 ball (1 foul, push out rules). It was at Red's 9 ball open pool tournament in Houston, Texas. Buddy initially wanted to play 9-ball but Efren opted for 10 ball. Buddy agreed, and won the 10 ahead set. Efren and, or his backers quit but said they wanted to play the next day. Btw, after that match both split the gate money made from the sweaters, that paid to see the match in the tournament room. Also, Buddy was there to play the next day only to find that Efren and party left town. Earlier Efren won the 9 ball tournament defeating Wade Crade (aka Billy Johnson) in the finals. After winning the tournament he matched up with other great players like Keith McCready, St. Louis, Louis, Roberts, and Mike Sigel defeating all comers, with the only exception being Buddy Hall. For Efren to do what he did, the very first time he set foot on American soil, is a testament to his great talent.

[@planetX15]

+Bonhzeppelin So in 32 years he hasn't lost a "Big Money" event? That's still quite impressive.

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+planetX15 I was specifically responding to Jose's comment that Efren NEVER lost a big money match, and simply pointed out he was incorrect. BTW, $10,000 in 1985 today would be just over double that amount. Also, Reyes conceded he was no longer the Money King in the Philippines, and handed over the MK title to Dennis Orcollo. Efren humbly said he couldn't beat Dennis for money, but could beat him in tournament play. So Efren has lost at least twice in the past 32 yrs. ;-)

Cord: "billiard player" is a perfectly acceptable phrase. I'll explain: -- When *speaking in-person* to someone who is English-fluent, "pool player" works fine, but *be tolerant, neighborly, and considerate* of the fact that the word "billiard" in all of it's various national language spellings is much easier to understand (and translate) in almost all of the world's *written* languages. The English word "pool" -- sometimes confusedly -- has a dozen different meanings; "billiard(s)" always describes one of the *cue sports* . And yes, I'm totally aware of the fact that pocket billiards (pool) differs markedly from any of the pocket-less carom billiards disciplines. You'll agree i'm sure, that the world needs *tolerance* and international friendliness more than ever.

[@raycarltonbilliards5798]

Hope you'll appreciate more info about what was really going on there folks. Here's the exact reason *(I was there)* : The face off ("stare down") was of course scripted beforehand -- set up and rehearsed with the production team for dramatic effect. Happens with many mano a mano sports events (boxing, cage fighting, -- even some televised tennis and chess matches). Photo op, tension-building publicity stuff. It would be far beyond Reyes' everyday humility to ever look hatefully and challengingly at his opponent like that, without being coaxed to do so for essentially silly, theatrical TV purposes. They were both laughing during the rehearsal for that mutual "stare down." They finally managed to suppress the awkward grinning and convinced the production crew that they'd deliver when the on-camera moment came. Efren knew full well that the mutual stares were a pretense.

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

@@raycarltonbilliards5798 I had no idea this happened in professional pool matches. I can see how a stare down / face off would indeed create more viewership / interest in this match thereby justifying selling commercial time during the match at a higher dollar amount than usual. People that love the game are going to watch anyway but bringing in people who are not necessarily that interested in pool and affected emotionally through witnessing the stare-down would be susceptible to this type of manipulation and want to see who wins the "fight". Yes, it's silly and fatuous but highly effective as a money maker for everyone connected to the production of this pool match-up final.

[@raycarltonbilliards5798]

Regarding "I had no idea this happened in professional pool matches" . . . *it doesn't happen* -- this was a one-off stunt mandated by the producer Kevin, a highly unprofessional hyper-salesman who eventually went bankrupt, but overall did have good intentions and lots of much-anticipated experimental ideas (backed up by much of his own wealth) for the sport at the time.

Efren's life is an historic success story with built-in worldwide appeal. Things get even more interesting for future Efren fans everywhere because: I predict that by the year 3000 -- a living hologram -- an *_imperishable life-endowed hologram_* of Efren Reyes with all his abilities, will be brought in by shrewd gamblers to triumph over the AI (Artificial Intelligence) android robots who are winning all the *_3-dimensional pool tournaments_* played on 15-meter cubical pool tables in zero-G space environments in all of the Milky Way galaxy's populated solar systems and exoplanets .

[@jonathanklopf7581]

even though I wasn't playing, I was so stressed out! rooting for Efren.

[@stannmorla5443]

He wouldn't be called "Bata" for nothing; he is youthful in his game. Congratulations Efren! Pinoy pride, you are...

[@BikewithViNViN]

Pacquiao and efren are legends and the humbleness is unexplainable

[@lskshmariemostolesdhksks9719]

yes ..❤❤

[@da324]

The 1 ball 3 ball to finish the match was the proper shot sequence. He hit the 3 a bit soft. He wanted the ball to basically come back to where he shot the 3 from to have a straighter shot on the 1 ball in the side. He would have then pocketed the 8 in the bottom right hand corner. He made it work, though tougher than he intended. He's the best to ever do it.

[@lucilalizarondo7655]

We proud of you Bata.. Congratulations 👏👏👏

[@hasliebradyvlogs.5231]

His humble and legendary magician. 🎉

[@nguyenpoon5610]

Efren Keep smiling always ❤️ from Nepal.

Efren Reyes is such a brilliant player a real magician

[@monroemullinix5974]

Wayne Gretzky. The only other sports figure who is so unanimously recognized as the greatest to ever play their sport.

[@joel2421]

Nope, Sir Donald Bradman the greatest Cricket player ever, is number one on this list. Gretzky would be 2nd.

Tiger Woods , Best Golfer in modern era !

[@Tovek]

Holy smokes! This was one heck of a match. It was like a roller coaster! It would have been amazing to have been there but honestly I’m glad I got to watch it at home because I was very vocal about my enthusiasm lol.

[@raycarltonbilliards5798]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tovek]

@@raycarltonbilliards5798 Thank you for posting it!

[@raycarltonbilliards5798]

You're welcome Juan. *

[@daniejohnson90]

This is why Efren is the greatest of all time. Realized he wasn't making balls on the break so brought in the soft break to leave clusters knowing he moves better than Rodney... Simply beautiful.

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Great observation

[@bctorogi365]

I wonder why he start nreaking slow... really greatest player...

[@ezscootrr]

58:13 is the best shot of the game.

[@ianmarkooo]

And he uses left hand their. Wth hahahahahaha

[@mandojoaquin1953]

Efren "Bata" Reyes, is the very best pool player in his generation.

[@alvarogodoy7991]

Our own efren bata" the ultimate legend in billard" the greatest" pool player" pinoy pride"

[@kathrynwagner478]

Here's the deal......Efrin is my favorite pool player EVER! This match was a nail biter and I really would have loved to see Rodney win (not 100%) he is such a handsome young man and very curteous.

[@u-next1724]

when a combination of Pythagoras, Isaac Newton and Albert Eintein becomes a billiard player then he is :P GOAT

[@raycarltonbilliards5798]

U-Next: One of the _best-ever_ comments! Thanks for sharing with us. You have plenty of creativity, young man. 🏆

[@chainesaw]

King of the world. Love this guy . Spend it well my friend.

[@raycarltonbilliards5798]

As you may already know, his last name, Reyes, is the Spanish plural of the word "king". Quite fitting.

[@novadeguzman4111]

[@louiefernandez3835]

again, excellent performance::: Efren Reyes!!!

[@raycarltonbilliards5798]

The best!

[@jaybuza3794]

As a Filipino that is extremely addicted to pool, it's amazing to know the best was Filipino himself. Heavy motivation for a young player like myself. 👍

[@raycarltonbilliards5798]

Jay: T totally agree. Efren is a wonderful role model for young and older folks alike, and for emerging players *_like yourself_* everywhere. Pool players of all ages around the world (and millions of non-players too) all love Efren. His skills, sportsmanship and *unmistakable human kindness* dazzle everyone. *_He probably has inspired more players to begin playing our wonderful sport, than any player in the 170-year history of professional billiards_* . 1
