31:02 finesse by the magician

[@thequetzalcoatl2287]

Respect to Shannon for his words after the match.

[@believer4445]

I've played pool 40yrs, amazing the angels efryen sees...

[@loriw2661]

1:29.03 Efren touches 1/16th of an inch from the side pocket, predicting where the cue ball will go after a bad ass cut into the corner pocket, then one rail and…BAM!…the cue ball hits that exact spot!!!! We don’t call him “The Magician” for nothing. AMAZING!!! Shot of the match IMO.

[@rmo4222]

Shannon Dalton the envy of all what-a-be's, never had job in his life been hustling since he was 10 or so? Reyes the king of pocket billiards. from where hustle the name of the game.

[@thomashanson6607]

Hustle has always been about forcing someone to go in a direction they weren't planning on going. Lends itself to good pool naturally.

[@thequetzalcoatl2287]

Thank you Evgeny

[@sfincione2000]

Excellent match. I love the tactics in one-pocket. Great game

[@TheAudiophile81]

I have played one pocket for money couple of times but i start to like it more and more need to practice it

[@rmo4222]

One pocket test your skills, problem is most don't have the skills to compete. One pocket will make you better pool player. The thinking game and patients which most pool bangers don't have. why most hate it and don't play it. Lack of skills and patients.

[@Stollberger72]

You mean patience. Patients you'll find at a hospital. ;-)

[@rmo4222]

after most pool bangers play the find themselves in Hospital, metal hospital. they can't take the stress!

[@Stollberger72]

Do they play Metallica in metal hostptal? ;-)

[@LVSinger]

R Mo : Absolutely correct! One pocket is way outside the abilities of most average players...and thus, commonly disliked by them. The skilled players, ['B' and above], love this marvelously challenging 'chess' game.

[@rmo4222]

I play it ever chance I get. It improves my safety play, banking, cue ball control. One mistake can cost 3 or more ball or even the game depending on level of player. Makes you think of shots you wouldn't usually think of. My one and two rail kicks are very good along with reverse bank shots now, which comes up a lot in One pocket. When I play other games after one pocket I see a lot more options than I use to.

[@gtzaskar6353]

I was on the balcony watching this match.

[@johntate9647]

Both world class players. Shannon is great doing commentary too.

[@tonym2513]

He’s also got the coolest case on earth. Looks like someone shoved a cue stick up a cow’s ass and called it good.

[@dukeellington1987]

43:27 great shot by Shannon. Efren left him a tiny window and he capitalized on it big time

[@gethindavies]

1,13:45, what an attempt!

[@sfincione2000]

1:30:25 With 1 ball to go I can't understand why Efren didn't just bank the 8 cross table and draw under the 10 wedging Shannon between the rail and the 10. Straight after that Shannon made a great two railer.

[@M.Huraib]

glad you spoiled the ending with the thumbnail !

[@sambarbera4389]

Mohammed Huraib has

[@BFDERISE1]

Very good match thanks for posting.

[@scotstrong6161]

Why is it that none of the pool videos seem to be able to keep up with the score?

[@johntate9647]

Fine shooting Shannon.

[@HoosierRooster]

Shannon has beat Efren playing one pocket more than anybody Efren has has extreme respect for Shannon's game and he just dogged it

[@user-vq7ht9km4c]

looks like table not horizontal. for releaser there were no touch the cushion where you spoiled - don't guess why foul

[@724riff]

ya know the last game was hill hill and efren was having a hard time playing out of shannons break ,,, and although i am pretty bew at this game i was wondering if tajing a fould to the short rail on this side in the middle diamond under the four or whatever it was ,....... shannon had no reasonable shots or banks ,,,,,,, so i was wondering if that was efrens best shot as opposed to selling out that whole set like that

[@724riff]

im also surprised efren did not take an intentional under the 2 ball on shannons side on the short rail

[@RoyHorbison]

that shot at around 11:10 lol

[@trumanhw]

HA! I was about to say VERBATIM, "@11:10 is smart hit. "

[@RoyHorbison]

that was a very nice shot yes so the 4 caromed off the 7 downtable/away from pocket. then the 7 went off the bank and hit the 2 and the 3 hard enough to scatter out and away from that corner lol TAKE MY MONEY EFREN JUST TAKE IT AND GO AWAY

[@trumanhw]

wow @39m awesome control

[@erickort1987]

Efrens nickname might be the magician but another might be ...the surgeon,he carefully diesects every shot when playing one pocket

[@clemensoy7]

At around 31:00, Superb shot by Efren. He shot the 11 ball and hit the 7 ball with the white ball to kick the 6 ball out...Didn't see that coming!

[@georgemcnulty4691]

11:10 "hmm I see to be in a little bit of a jam..............wait ill just move all the balls on my side of the table. this one pockets a walk through the park" lol

[@Toobula]

But that right pocket was not Efren's friend throughout.

[@believer4445]

Lucky not scratching, after missing straight in....

[@bilabong1946]

Yes!

[@soundautomatic1]

Daulton is uterly brilliant at 1 pocket

[@hunchemlnarik1668]

In his prime, or when he was playing regularly, he was top three, if not the best. He's also very quick to give props to Efren, which makes him a class act. Also, he was a great rotation player. I am pretty sure he has won the derby city nine ball, which is a feat Scott frost or Tony chohan will never come close to accomplishing.

[@RangeWilson]

Eh, reasonable try by Efren in the last game. He was in jail after that opening break.

[@user-vq7ht9km4c]

great game for pool. greatest at billiard. I'm charming at all

[@joebradley1520]

The guy commentating by coughing throughout this whole match was most excellent!

[@ontheroadroe]

That was a great match, I guess Efren just felt 99 percent certain he was going to drop that ten ball as he sold the game out to Shannon with everything open after it failed to fall?

[@supermingsu]

I think he lost patience and decided to gamble. Not like playing other players, he didn't have big advantage in safety battle at least in this match. If he made the ten ball, he should also got an open table and finish it up. With obvious over 50% chance to make that ball, in my opinion, it's worth a try. But unfortunately, the pool god was not on his side this time.

[@poolzokka]

At 1:30:40 ...how can u not bank the 15 to your pocket, maybe make it and draw the white to the long cushion behind the 8-ball. How?!? ...one of the worst mistakes of Efren in Ballselection at One Pocket, i'd ever seen from him.

[@PoolMonsters]

I liked the 15 as well. If you are going to shoot the 8, you better freeze it on the 10. What a great two railer by Shannon in response.

[@eduardofernandez2078]

yaahhhnnn...

[@Toobula]

Game 3 - excruciating to watch. How many near misses for Reyes? 6? 7? and four of them were finished by Daulton. He was shooting long bank shots like me, for crying out loud.

[@TheAudiophile81]

Wow what a miss by Shannon @24.00

[@haroldredden1304]

I love pool but this game takes way too long to play. They would have a stroke if a shot clock was used.

[@tonym2513]

Uncultured swine

[@daaam2160]

Break, rack 5. All the difference. Most unpredictable shot of the game. The break. Unfortunate for... (No spoiler here)

[@724riff]

i am new to the game but i was wondering why efren didnt take a foul and leave the cue on this side of the table at the middle of the short rail under what looks like the 2 or 4 ball shannon had no banks or cuts reasonable anyway and it was better than selling oput that entire set ....... idk but does that foul look like a good option to you ?

[@gopitribe5036]

Around 1:25:13, what is the foul that cost Efren a ball? I'm brand new to one pocket.

[@loupankey2345]

After the cue ball hits an object ball, no ball contacts a rail.

[@gopitribe5036]

@@loupankey2345 Ah, thank you Lou!

[@slackwaresupport]

battle of the pink shirts?

[@johnzainzebeedee3354]

Chris King lol😂

[@daniellogston1512]

Efren gave him that set , he didn’t win a damm thing .

[@genipool]

Sure

[@SergioSoaresRibeiro]

1:08 think it was a push, bad or doble cue contact

[@Toobula]

I don't see it.

[@thomashanson6607]

What's with that little disc Shannon put on the right side of the rail and then Efren moved it?

[@rmo4222]

He fouled and owns ball, sometimes plays will intentionally foul to lead the opponent without shot.

[@steveperez3501]

If you foul and don't have a pocketed ball to spot, you owe a ball. Once you pocket the ball or balls you owe it gets spotted after your inning or after you clear the table, whichever occurs first.

[@steadyjohn65]

means he owed a ball from the foul?

[@ernestodelacruz9392]

Bakit kasi pareho ang kulay ng damit

[@douglasgreen7125]

no foul on SD

[@apisai1243]

Never played this so called one ball! What's the rules? I've won millions on online 8ball. So I'm pretty good. Come at me!

[@danialariff155]

Its called one-pocket.....

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

Online probably means u can’t stroke a cue

[@andrewkellers9275]

😕😕😕😕 I nodded off....it's 2020 now....and it's still as boring as ever

[@rhianngacusan814]

there is a clear attempt here by reyes to make shanon raise the bet.

[@timteevin4517]

Thriller?

[@sfincione2000]

Funny comment by Shannon to Efren "You been drinking this morning?" and then to someone off camera "He lost the cue ball by about one sixteenth of an inch all game" =) hah

[@chankom]

is it towards the begining? Lol

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

Just proves it happens to the best of them, at the time he retired I thought that it was because he just was off enough so he was not as competitive as he had been

[@CertifiedSlamboy]

Jesus. Shannon is so slow.

[@AngrierGorilla]

use right arrow on your keyboard, a 2 hours match lasts 30 minutes

[@mu99ins]

@@AngrierGorilla I never knew that. Thanks.

[@tonym2513]

In his defense, Efren is the best one pocket player that ever lived, and he didn’t discover the game until he came here to rob American pool players at 9ball. Shannon has been around a long time and he knows Efren is magic. If I were in his position too, I’d be thinking the same thing he probably is thinking while looking at the table: how is this shot going to cost me the match?

NO MORE REMATCH FOR YOU BOY. YOU WANT TO EARN MORE FROM OUR 8 DIVISION CHAMPION. WE ARE SATISFIED EVEN IF HE LOST TO ANOTHER BOXER BUT NOT YOU. TALKING TOO MUCH. HOW MUCH MORE IF WIN??? NO WAY STAY HOME AND PLAY BASKETBALL HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[@erickjanes4122]

Wtf are you getting at

[@joshbell3614]

I love defensive pool strategy but this is unbearable.

[@kingjames1056]

Josh Bell yes it is OMG garbage

[@RoyHorbison]

the defense in one pocket i think is more interesting and complex than in other games including snooker

[@kingjames1056]

Roy Horbison fuck that I'm good wit 9 Ball

[@RoyHorbison]

yep it's not everyone's cup of tea that's for sure lmao

[@patrickgilfillan1868]

It's definitely not more complex than snooker, just much more than other pool variants. Really it's just "don't leave a shot at their pocket". Not saying that's bad, although I personally don't find it good to watch.

[@voodazz]

zzZZZZZzzzzzzz.....

[@kingjames1056]

How do you play this wtf . Not 9 ball this gay

[@Deathbysnusnu125]

Ya it would be tough for someone with no brains to play this game

[@martinsawicki2716]

Yeah you need brain for this you numbskull

[@martinquinn3382]

" with no brain " jerk !

[@kingjames1056]

Martin Quinn lol you called me a jerk

[@rmo4222]

how do you play this? It takes skills, something you would develop. so you like the slop games where you don't have to call a pocket. One pocket not slop you only have one pocket, but 15 options.
