Great stuff. Love to watch Earl. Commentator volume started out a little low volume, but it improves in places, but not consistently.

If someone were walking in to their apt while I was watching this (which they weren’t) they may have heard me say “chalk the cue.......chalk......what are you doing man....the cue...chalk....”

[@markhowardganzon8992]

32:07 Now that's just unbelievable. Absolutely my favorite player.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Upstate Al predicted the 30 second run out to the second in the 7th game.

[@billiarduniversity5842]

Can't believe this guy said that must be an Efren hater

[@barryzeeberg3672]

oh oh (1) opponent is earl (2) trailing (3) clean up most of the rack and then miss easy shot (4) repeat (3)

Great commentary, but I dont care what any of these men have to say, efren reyes is by far the superior player. I'm as big a fan of Strickland and any as he USED TO BE one of the greatest, but compared to efren he is the weaker link. Earl is NOT what he used to be and that is a fact, plain and simple. They dont call him the magician for a reason. Look at the lack of cue ball control on all of Stricklands breaks.... look at the inconsistency of his recent wins. And look at the fact that not only does efren have the highest amount of money won, but also is control of emotion on the table. I'm sorry commentators, but you're dead wrong.

[@zerzoornickelback]

@18:45 Commentators. If Efren can't make the shots that Earl can make, then why is Efren's nickname is "The Magician" while Earl's is "The Pearl"? Isn't it because one can make shot no else thought of and the other is just there to put on a good show and look entertaining to the crowd?

[@jasraboin]

Mustafa Sadraddin Efren doesn’t have the power stroke Earl has. They ve beat each other several times. A straight pool match would be interesting

[@53mikewill]

Probably cause it rhymes pal

[@markhowardganzon8992]

Because he was considered the "John McEnroe" of pool.
