Francisco BUSTAMANTE under pressure • Amazing Finish!

[@joshuahaynes7413]

tough out. most average players would've taken that shot and played a bank this is the difference in a world class player and average

[@DatAnydex]

Joshua Haynes Man, you are so right. I myself was expecting top right English, but not the bank!

[@joshuahaynes7413]

Elias Antonas he had to much angle to work with and he didnt wanna risk a scratch letting the cue ball go like that

[@andrew_owens7680]

And its just that little bit less ball that he hits for the bank that keeps him from smacking it hard. It doesn't take much force then to get to the other side with the cue. I would not have seen that shot, much less made in in a hill hill match with lots of money riding on it. That's why he's Bustamante.

Things learned in this video: - Django is far from done; - Pagulayan is one of the funniest, coolest, most talented cats in pro pool; - the awesome, totally genuine mutual respect and friendship shared between many of the Pinoy pro players. Awesome...that last part is something most all pro players need to embrace more fully. :)

5 years later and your still not wrong

[@SdfuNoob]

Man, alex is the fucking best LOL

[@MrGlockshna]

Alex is hilarious.

[@chinodesgra0212]

Sportsmanship at its funniest!! Alex you da man!!

[@Sharivari]

Daaaamn, show us what Francisco was doing when he recreated the situation after winning the match.

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

Makes me smile everytime I come back for it :)

[@ttunderbridge5762]

lmao at alex. that guy would be a blast to hang out with.

[@AccordionJoe1]

Next to Reyes, Bustamante is perhaps the greatest player of the last 50 years.

[@robertcooper96]

You might want to look up a couple of guys banned Shane and Earl. They're pretty good as well

[@mark250k]

Perfect camera angle!

[@caseysrodeo14]

Incredible shot selection no doubt!!!!!

[@marklesterbatang4353]

Alex P is great too He is a Half Filipino pool player one of my favorite

[@eastern3318]

Now this is how you Busta Move!

[@robertchamberlin2072]

Alex needs to be on Joe Rogan

[@alaniverson6265]

Such a great and professional player alex pagulayan

[@tigran1982]

I don't get why he didn't hit the 7 soft with a little bit of follow leaving himself a good angle on the 8 instead of the draw shot. He made the rack much harder than it should be.

[@POVPOOL]

Possibly table conditions. If you hit that ball firm you generally shoot with more accuracy. I would venture to guess, combination of adrenaline and preventing a bad roll on a slow shot.

[@ericmaldonado1373]

Amazing finish under a sportsman friendly atmosphere.

[@joeglatt2826]

Great watch

[@zebragirl8086]

phenomenal match! These few shots doesn't do that entire rack justice. From the safe at the one from the one to the two same hole and the finish was classic Busty at his finest! Loved it! Thank you for sharing this povpool. camera game on point, loving this hi def!

[@JFC360]

Great shot selection

[@elbertfalcon6158]

still one of the gods of billiards...

[@aronbustillos5764]

How can anyone thumbs down this

[@zanethind]

Filipinos are amazing under pressure also I would've gone for the cut since I wouldn't be confident in that amazing bank

[@cakins1986]

1:40 Christopher Walken in the house!

[@2869may]

My 2 favorite payers...

[@liakosliakos348]

Alex is the man!

[@2003wrosario]

Amazing match!!!

[@erod4489]

what an opponent, they're true champions

[@crondawg101]

I must be missing something. Why didn’t Francisco shoot the 7 with follow and ergo create the angle that would naturally bring the cue ball into position for the 9?

[@marshalrodriguez4647]

Nice Alex. I love it. Hahaha.

[@marioandradenegos810]

Great Out!!!

[@zanethind]

I can't work well under pressure and I don't do my beat when talking either

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

I laughed out loudly!

[@physika]

bank shot is way beyond me, what a shot by django.

[@liakosliakos348]

physika play more 1 pocket brother! Django played 2 way shot, if he missed he would of left 8 ball on one side of table and cue on other!

[@physika]

why not the usual top right and go 2 rails back to the 9 ?

[@inycepoo]

Not enough angle, speed required would be twice that of the 1-pocket bank, rail made it difficult to access proper part of cue ball. If cue ball were off the rail, spinning the 8 in with mostly right spin and a little top would've done the trick but he could only use the tippy top portion = not enough action

[@arpeemac]

he would need to force follow the shot with inside english and pray that it does not hit the 10. what makes this shot harder is that the cue ball is next to the rail. huge percentage missing that shot.

[@TheBilliardCorner]

Balls of steel to go for a bank. But he is BOOSTIE!

[@nibzlegend99]

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@quantumimmortality551]

2:08 my reaction everytime I miss the money ball in a game

[@northwinds9155]

i wonder what efren will do in that situation

[@mikemartin8495]

Excellent play. If he misses, he leaves the balls on opposite ends. I didn’t see it. But that’s what separates the great ones from a person like myself.

[@POVPOOL]

that's right. it's a 2way shot to play a safety. notice the speed at which he hits the 8.

[@mikemartin8495]

POVPOOL Yup. Phenomenal!!

[@robertchamberlin2072]

Alex and Courey Deuel

[@AngryRobot87]

would a shot to the corner pocket with force follow and a touch of right english work in this case?

[@martinmartin8666]

I guess it would.but i think you have to hit it harder.and apparently he wasn't comfortable with it.he is a pro in banking shots.from what I've learned playing always go for the shot you are comfortable with.

[@martinmartin8666]

Then again im not good.just average at best..

[@AngryRobot87]

@@martinmartin8666 make sense, thanks buddy.

[@wilsongautama1688]

Friendship match 👍

[@keeleyg1]

Wow that's one of the best shots under pressure I have ever seen. Would surely have left it over the pocket if he missed it. Some pair of balls...

[@بلياردوماستر]

لا تنسوا اللايك

[@unclebred]

Alex make me repeat his part Hahahahahahahaha

[@hajishaikh1719]

After Efren Reyes. Bustamante is my favorite

[@markkevinlim4734]

If you watch closely, the shot on the seven ball looks like he's about to miss.

[@robertthomas7239]

Lol not even close.

[@さだはる-g1t]

やっばいな

[@thewarlordscalling6537]

Let him play the short...let him finish the balls.Alex missed a similar ball in similar circumstances himself.y resign?

[@stevewilliams2732]

I think he played the wrong shot...the bank was lower % and he still almost got on top of the 9 ball..position from both shots was hard so why take a harder shot?I'd bet money he misses that bank more than he makes it...

[@bunchan76]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@DatAnydex]

I understand the 'honor/respect' thing on the last ball ... BUT I would let them shoot it every time. I've seen the best prove their humanity missing easy, up close shots you think they'd never miss. Same thing in golf.

[@POVPOOL]

You're right, anything can happen but, in this case I think Alex was being a good sport toward his elder Busti who, honestly played a phenomenal out.

[@DatAnydex]

You are correct

[@adekbudi72]

Elias Antonas thats why golf is soo boring

[@mzpogi]

😂😂😂
