00:00:00That was a shot.
00:00:04Good shot.
00:00:05Yeah!
00:00:09That was seven.
00:00:11He's fouled, didn't he?
00:00:13Yeah.
00:00:15Oh, wow.
00:00:16Oh, okay.
00:00:19We can get around there.
00:00:21I like to get around the right.
00:00:23I got one rail.
00:00:25I rolled it.
00:00:25I rolled it.
00:00:26Any injuries over my head?
00:00:29Let her rotate.
00:00:39You are gone.
00:00:41You are gone.
00:00:46I swear to you.
00:00:48Ha, ha, ha.
00:00:50I swear to you.
00:00:51I swear it's my baby,
00:00:58I swear to you.
00:00:59I swear to God.
00:01:00Don't let her know.
00:01:01You are there.
00:01:04I swear to God.
00:01:08I swear to God.
00:01:10We don't have to do that.
00:01:12I swear to God.
00:01:46Good morning, my friends.
00:01:47Welcome to Billiard Masters Reaction and Commentary Videos.
00:01:53For today's reaction video, ito pag-uusapan natin yung isa sa mga nemesis na kalaban ni Efren Reyes.
00:02:00Walang iba kung hindi itong si Earl the Pearl Strickland.
00:02:04Dito nga, gaganapin yung The Pool Masters 9 Ball Championship at ginanap ito dyan sa Chesapeake, Virginia.
00:02:14Mapapansin natin si Efren Reyes ang nanalo sa lag, kaya siya ang magbe-break sa rock number 1.
00:02:21Race to 9 ang kanilang laban, 9 ball yung game.
00:02:24At dito nga si Efren Reyes ang nag-break sa rock number 1.
00:02:28Ang kanilang breaking system ay winner's break, kaya dito mapapansin natin may tira pa rin si Reyes, no?
00:02:38At meron siyang chance na makabawi.
00:02:42Tingnan natin si Estrickland mukhang nasa table ngayon dahil walang ball ang pumasok.
00:02:48Kahit tingnan natin kung maka-run out si Estrickland dito sa rock number 1.
00:02:54Sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:02:55Do you want to come two rails out of that pocket?
00:02:58The only problem with this shot is you can get hooked behind something.
00:03:01If you hit the one, I mean the three on the right-hand side, that's why we get behind all
00:03:05that cluster of balls.
00:03:06Right, right.
00:03:11He missed a hole ball.
00:03:15Well, he hit it a little hard, and that shortened it up.
00:03:18Mm-hmm.
00:03:22Well, this isn't so easy, buddy.
00:03:23I don't see a great way to obtain quality position on the two ball.
00:03:28It is the ball.
00:03:31It's about where the five ball spot is a little different.
00:03:33That's the two ball.
00:03:34And it goes here, or the combination is workable.
00:03:37But other than that, I don't see much.
00:03:39I don't see an easy way to get there.
00:03:40Well, I'll play.
00:03:41Sure.
00:03:42Maybe not the best shot in the world, but it's a shot.
00:03:45You play the one in here.
00:03:47You play this real, and play the cue ball to right here.
00:03:50Okay.
00:03:50And play the combination two, three.
00:03:52All right.
00:03:57He hit it.
00:03:58He played it different.
00:03:59Well, I don't know what he's doing here.
00:04:01Is he planning to play the billiard, or?
00:04:02I think he's going to play the third one.
00:04:05All right, but you think he's going to cut it into the three ball?
00:04:09We started with 88 players.
00:04:11Round of two.
00:04:21At dyan nga, mahusay yung pagkakapina ni Reyes na yun doon sa uno.
00:04:24At dito mukhang, ito, hindi tinamaan yung combination nyo sa 2 to 7 dito sa corner pocket.
00:04:31Very disappointed dyan si Reyes, pero ganun pa man, maaga pa.
00:04:36At back to table naman itong si Strickland.
00:04:39So, meron chance ngayon si Strickland na i-combination yan, or karambola, pero mukhang tatapusin muna ni Strickland, no?
00:04:48Yung mailan-ilang bola dito, para makaposition sa mga object ball niya.
00:04:54Ito nga, tuloy-tuloy na ito.
00:04:55Tingnan natin kung ma-run out ni Strickland itong rock number one.
00:04:58I think he played in the side pocket by the 7 bar.
00:05:02He's got a good angle to do that.
00:05:05Yeah, he can just float forward here.
00:05:13Like this, a little inside thing.
00:05:15Ooh, perfect.
00:05:16He used the whole pocket, didn't he?
00:05:18Yes, he did.
00:05:19Now, he can go on the, this is, I like where he's looking here on the 7.
00:05:23He wants to get an angle where he can cut the 6 to his right a little bit.
00:05:26Or, he doesn't have to do that.
00:05:27He can draw it back and cut the 6 to his left.
00:05:30There.
00:05:31That's what he's going to do.
00:05:32Perfect.
00:05:33Like this.
00:05:35Now, he can punch out above the 7 ball.
00:05:39Like this.
00:05:40Good shot.
00:05:42Now, the 7 on the corner.
00:05:43The 8 on the side.
00:05:44And he's going to go ahead one game to nothing.
00:05:48Adyan nga sa pagpasok ng 7.
00:05:50No, mapapansin natin.
00:05:52Very fast facing itong si Strickland sa kanyang tira.
00:05:57At dito makikita natin.
00:05:59Last ball na lang siya sa rock number one.
00:06:01Pasok yan.
00:06:02Kaya, 1-0 ang score natin mga kabilyard.
00:06:05Kaya, dito si Strickland pa rin ang magbe-break sa rock number two.
00:06:10Malakas ang break dyan ni Strickland.
00:06:11Tingnan natin kung may pumasok.
00:06:13Mukhang malabo yung break na yan.
00:06:17Dry break.
00:06:18Kaya, si Reyes balik sa table.
00:06:20Tingnan natin kung makabawi si Reyes dito sa rock number two.
00:06:23Sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:06:25Problem?
00:06:27The three?
00:06:28The three, I think, passes the seven up in the corner.
00:06:31Well, that'd make it a lot easier.
00:06:33But, well, what Buddy's talking about, if it does...
00:06:36At dito nga sa tira na yan mga kabilyard,
00:06:39kailangan niyang i-break yung ball number three.
00:06:41Dahil nga nag-cluster yan.
00:06:44At dito, nagtagumpay si Reyes.
00:06:46Meron pa siyang magandang ball position dito sa tres.
00:06:50Napakahirap ng tira na yan.
00:06:51Pero, nagawa ng paraan ni Reyes.
00:06:53Mukhang maganda ang pinapakitang tira dito sa rock number two.
00:06:57Kaya, sundan pa rin natin yan mga kabilyard.
00:07:02He's a little weak.
00:07:04He sure is. That's tough shot there.
00:07:07He might like that ball.
00:07:09It's hard to gauge the severity of the angle from up here in the booth.
00:07:16Well, he's just a little tentative is all.
00:07:18He got off to a bit of a slow start.
00:07:20But, he needs to get out here.
00:07:24Nice shot. Watch out for the eight.
00:07:27Watch out for the four.
00:07:30At dyan nga sa pina na yan mga kabilyard,
00:07:32talagang very precise yung pagkakapi na doon sa side pocket.
00:07:36Pero, medyo alanganin yung ball position dito sa cue ball.
00:07:40Tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan ulit yan ni Efren Reyes.
00:07:44So, very disappointed siya doon sa angulo.
00:07:47Pero, tingnan natin mukhang may chance naman na makapagplay safe dito si Reyes.
00:07:52Here, cue ball here, here, here.
00:07:57That's a good shot.
00:08:00That's a good shot.
00:08:03Well, I don't want to hit it so thin that I put it right in the middle of the 5
00:08:06.8
00:08:06because I might leave a dead billiard or combination.
00:08:10Right.
00:08:17That's what I thought he might do right there.
00:08:20Okay, that's a great shot.
00:08:21Great shot.
00:08:24Under pressure, that's even more magnificent.
00:08:27This is going to be a good match.
00:08:30Earl seems a little tentative.
00:08:34Yeah.
00:08:36He can go up and down the table or use inside English.
00:08:39Since he's such a great lover of inside English.
00:08:42Well, he does do that.
00:08:43He loves it all right.
00:08:44Well, that's not an easy shot that he just did.
00:08:48Not a thing easy about that.
00:08:53You're on the wrong side of this, didn't you?
00:08:54No, he's all right.
00:08:56Just far enough.
00:09:03At dahil ganja, nakakuha na magandang ball positioning itong si Reyes.
00:09:08Tutok yan sa 8 at maganda na rin ang position yan sa 9.
00:09:11Eh, dito makikita natin yung papanong pagkabatikan itong si Reyes nung sa rock number 2.
00:09:17At ayan, pasok yung 8.
00:09:20Last ball na lang si Reyes para dito sa rock number 1.
00:09:25Kaya sundan natin yan mga kabilyard.
00:09:34I like the $150 entry fee. That makes it attractive.
00:09:40Rock number 3. Dito nga, nag-break si Reyes.
00:09:43At ayan, very unfortunate.
00:09:45Na-scratch pa yung bola, no?
00:09:46Sa daming mga ballang papasok yung ball number 1 pa yung na-scratch.
00:09:53Dahil nga dyan, balik sa table itong si Strickland.
00:09:58Apanong ri natin mga kabilyard.
00:10:00He plans to play the combination. I don't believe the 8 goes.
00:10:06I don't know about you. Well, actually, I do know about you.
00:10:10I kind of prefer to plan right now what I'm going to do with that 8 and 9.
00:10:15I'm going to have something in my head what I want to do with it.
00:10:17Well, I'm sure he's going to play position on the 7 to come two rails around and play that 8
00:10:22and 9 combination.
00:10:23Right.
00:10:24He's going to try to get straight in on the 6 so he can draw it back just a little
00:10:27for the 7.
00:10:28And, of course, that's down the road.
00:10:41Well, that's a good shot.
00:10:43Yep.
00:10:44Got a nice angle.
00:10:46He wants an angle here to play before it be able to play straight in on the 6.
00:10:51That's pretty good.
00:10:52He's kind of jumpy.
00:10:53He's kind of jumpy.
00:11:03That's perfect.
00:11:04Okay.
00:11:04He's going to play the angle about just a little left of where he's at right there in order to
00:11:10get two rails around on the 8 and 9.
00:11:13He'll shoot a 7 angle, two rails, maybe hit the third rail down here about the last diamond.
00:11:18Sure.
00:11:20Being careful not to adopt an angle that might cause him to scratch.
00:11:24Exactly.
00:11:24That's perfect.
00:11:25That's where he wanted to be.
00:11:28Okay.
00:11:35That's what he's doing, taking a little extra time.
00:11:38He does not want to scratch.
00:11:39Right.
00:11:40He don't want to rub the ball and all that.
00:11:44At ito nga, mukhang minabadalina ni Strickland itong laban nila ni Reyes, no?
00:11:50Nasa last two ball na lang siya pero may balak siyang combinationan itong 8 sa 9.
00:11:59Pero tingnan natin kung magawa yan paraan ni Earl Strickland.
00:12:03Okay.
00:12:03Sundan natin, mga kabilyay.
00:12:06I find it helps to use that low right English on this type of shot, too.
00:12:13Good shot.
00:12:152 to 1 at 90-0 Strickland.
00:12:19That's off the monitor, but he defeated quite a number of terrific players.
00:12:23Well, he changed his break, though.
00:12:25He came out in the middle of the table to break the balls before he was breaking off the rail.
00:12:33Well, he's got to push here, I think.
00:12:36There's no way to thin this ball.
00:12:38If he hits it thin enough to get it safe.
00:12:41At dyan nga, sa break ni Strickland, walang pumasok kaya back to table si Reyes.
00:12:46Pero medyo alanganin yung position ng cue ball para dito sa object ball niya, no?
00:12:51Tingnan natin kung papaano gumalaw dito si Reyes at kung ano yung discarte niya dito kung mag-play safe or
00:12:59mag-poose.
00:13:00Kaya sundan natin, mga Bilyard.
00:13:02He's on the left-hand side of the 1.
00:13:04He can.
00:13:05Huh?
00:13:06He can.
00:13:06Well, he can play.
00:13:07Well, why is he pushing out then?
00:13:11Now he can really hit the left-hand side of the 1.
00:13:13Earl, kill him on this.
00:13:15He'll just drop him over there by the 6.
00:13:17Well, it's a free shot to put him by the 6 because the 7, 2, and 9 balls will stop
00:13:22the 1 balls.
00:13:22Right.
00:13:23He'll knock it right down there by them.
00:13:32Well, he's lucky as he can be right there.
00:13:36He got very lucky there.
00:13:38Well, he made a good hit.
00:13:40Now here's a place where I kind of like Matt saying this.
00:13:45Either side of the 1, he's got action.
00:13:47He's going to go to the end rail because he kind of tied the 1 up.
00:13:52I mean, the 2 up, rather.
00:13:57He's got lucky.
00:14:00Well, he's got lucky first.
00:14:03At dyan nga, makikita ninyo yung husay sa counter safety nitong si Efren Reyes.
00:14:09Talagang hindi rin magpapatalo sa mga play safe itong si Reyes.
00:14:14Medyo alam nga ninyo yun ang position nitong object ball nila dahil nakadikit dito sa isang bola nung sa 8.
00:14:19Kaya walang possible pocket dito.
00:14:22Pwedeng mag-counter safety dito si Strickland.
00:14:28And he should be behind the 6 if he hits at the right speed.
00:14:31And if not, he leaves it pretty tough anyway.
00:14:35That's on.
00:14:38Boy, I don't know, Brady.
00:14:39I don't know how to shoot this shot.
00:14:44That's what I meant.
00:14:46Yeah, that's a good shot.
00:14:47That's what I meant.
00:14:48It looks pretty good.
00:14:49Sure.
00:14:50Yeah.
00:14:55Well, he's got a one-rail kick here.
00:14:58I believe that's all he had.
00:15:00I'd rather go three rails, except that the three is maybe a touch in a way.
00:15:05Right.
00:15:05Touch.
00:15:06Maybe a touch.
00:15:07That's all you got to do is touch it.
00:15:14Well, that's...
00:15:14Well, he tried to go three rails.
00:15:16That was just true.
00:15:17That's a huge ball.
00:15:18You know what I think he tried to do, Brady?
00:15:19I think he tried to hit it one rail.
00:15:21Okay.
00:15:21And it was high ball.
00:15:23And what happens when it gets real dry in here, that ball lengthens out.
00:15:28But most of the time, it's not dry in here.
00:15:31You know?
00:15:31So that angle would have been true.
00:15:34You understand what I'm saying?
00:15:35Sure, sure.
00:15:37Now, there's a number of ways to play this.
00:15:39He can go one rail into the nine ball, one rail into the two ball, two rails into the two
00:15:43ball.
00:15:44I think...
00:15:45Or do this and play safe.
00:15:46Well, I think the nine was deader than George Washington at the side.
00:15:49He didn't even look at that.
00:15:50I don't know what he did here.
00:15:52He can't even stop the cue ball and put it behind the nine.
00:15:56I don't think...
00:15:58I don't know why he didn't set the cue ball straight in and play position with that combo.
00:16:02Well, maybe he can or he wouldn't have done this.
00:16:04He's banking the ball.
00:16:05He's shooting to make it.
00:16:09Okay.
00:16:09That's a good shot.
00:16:11At dyan nga, napakahusay nung ginawang play safe ni Strickland.
00:16:16Mukhang mahirapan dito si Reyes dahil nga ito, nakadikit pa sa 9 yung cue ball.
00:16:23Tingnan natin kung paano discard yan ni Reyes ito.
00:16:26Panuori natin mga kabilyard.
00:16:29And into it that way.
00:16:30I think it's an easier hit.
00:16:32Better chance to win.
00:16:34I hate having to go above the four and short.
00:16:40See, he went actually went too short.
00:16:51Bein' on two won't matter.
00:17:01He's got a nice angle here.
00:17:09Well, this isn't my favorite angle for this kind of shot.
00:17:14Come out two rail.
00:17:15One, two.
00:17:16Just like that.
00:17:17Good shot.
00:17:20Low left English.
00:17:22You come back towards the seven ball.
00:17:37At dyan nga, tulad na naasahan natin, talagang mahusay din itong si Strickland, no?
00:17:43Kapag naka-balling hand advantage, merong malaking chance talaga na marun out yung table
00:17:48dahil napakaganda nung kalat ng bola at maganda yung layout ng table.
00:17:53So, dito, mapapansin natin talagang mabilisan si Strickland.
00:17:59Pasok yan.
00:18:003-1 ang score, no?
00:18:01Lamang na lamang dyan si Strickland.
00:18:02Kaya, siya pa rin ang magbe-break sa rock number 5.
00:18:06Mukhang minamadali ni Strickland itong laban niya kay Reyes.
00:18:10At makapansin ninyo talagang mahusay, no?
00:18:13At dyan, sa break na yan, medyo disappointed si Strickland.
00:18:17Walang pumasok.
00:18:18Back to table naman itong si Reyes.
00:18:20Kaya, sundan pa rin natin, mga kabilyard.
00:18:24Hit to his left and float the cue ball over for the three ball in the same pocket.
00:18:29Or he could plan to play the combination,
00:18:31but I don't think that that's the right shot.
00:18:33No, I don't either.
00:18:34He's right there.
00:18:35Right there.
00:18:36Exactly.
00:18:37This is perfect.
00:18:40Everything, just connect the dots here.
00:18:41All you gotta do is get on the...
00:18:42Well, the five ball either has to play the combination or get a good angle on the four.
00:18:46Yeah, I believe I would play to get an angle on the four.
00:18:52Now, if the four goes in the side comfortably,
00:18:54you can just draw this back and towards the four ball,
00:18:57you'll have the right angle.
00:18:58Yeah, looks like it will.
00:19:02Just like this.
00:19:03Now, you can come across one natural rail
00:19:05for perfect position on the five ball.
00:19:13Nice, nice.
00:19:18Now, you go up one rail to the right side of the eight ball.
00:19:22Or two rails to the right side of the eight.
00:19:24Like this.
00:19:27And that's a good shot.
00:19:29At ito nga, mukhang bumalik yung momentum ni Reyes dito sa rock number five na yun.
00:19:34Napakahusay yun.
00:19:35Pinapakita niyang cue ball control and positioning.
00:19:38No, exactong-exacto kung nasaan yun sa kanyang object ball.
00:19:43May kikita natin dito na sa last three balls na lang si Reyes
00:19:47at may chance na marun out niya ito
00:19:50at makahabol sa score ni Strickland at 3-1 ang score.
00:19:54At ito nga, mapansin ninyo talagang mahusay at magaling yung kanyang birada dito sa rock na ito.
00:20:02Last two ball si Reyes.
00:20:04Mukhang nga abanti ng isang puntos dyan.
00:20:06At dito, tutok pa itong cue ball sa 9.
00:20:10Talagang mahusay yung kanyang ginagawang tira.
00:20:13Pasok yung 9 na yan.
00:20:143-2 ang score natin.
00:20:15Lamang pa rin si Strickland ang isang puntos.
00:20:18Pero si Reyes naman ang mabibreak dito sa rock number six.
00:20:21Kaya sundan natin mga kabilyad.
00:20:24He's prepared to defeat these great modern-day champions.
00:20:28I think so.
00:20:31Oh, he kind of hit it with the easy break, and he's going to make a ball.
00:20:36Now, if he doesn't get straight in, he's got action here.
00:20:39But he got straight-ish.
00:20:45Earl is at a 9.23 pace.
00:20:47Ray is 9, or excuse me, 7.92, and that's mostly because of a couple of bad kick shots.
00:20:52Now, buddy, this is rough here.
00:20:54He's really got to spin this.
00:20:55He's got to spin it a lot.
00:20:56I'm not sure I wouldn't go rail first with, like, just above center ball.
00:21:02Awful small pockets here.
00:21:04Okay.
00:21:05All right, well, maybe he can get beyond the 8 here.
00:21:06We'll see.
00:21:10Oh, that's a pretty shot.
00:21:11He's got a lot of juice on it.
00:21:13He still didn't get down far enough.
00:21:14No.
00:21:14But he got down far enough to rail first.
00:21:16Yes, he did.
00:21:19I like hitting this fairly easy, too.
00:21:23I don't want to hit this too hard.
00:21:26The problem with this is if you get a shot at the 3, it's going to be a long one.
00:21:31It's going to be a long shot unless you draw it.
00:21:33Oh, what's he doing?
00:21:34Well, maybe he's got a curve to get far enough in there to go rail first and make it.
00:21:42See, he's got a shot, but it's a long one.
00:21:45Well, he's got some choices here.
00:21:51He might be able to miss the 5 if he hits it easy.
00:21:55But I'm not so sure I wouldn't just go to make this.
00:21:59It is a pretty good clip, and there's an excellent chance he'll have a good shot with the 5 ball.
00:22:05I believe he's going to sense the 3.
00:22:07You have a thing you can just do the best to make the 3.
00:22:14I didn't think he was going to roll.
00:22:16That's a great shot.
00:22:17Great shot.
00:22:19I like the fact that the way he shot it, it's almost 100% make on the 3.
00:22:24Dribbling that ball long distance in battle conditions is usually bad news.
00:22:30Now, one rail underneath the 7, like that.
00:22:33Nice shot.
00:22:37Now, the rest of this rack pretty much a foregone conclusion.
00:22:42At dyan nga, sa pagpasok ng 6 na yan, mukhang makaka-break and run si Reyes dito sa rack number
00:22:486.
00:22:49Mahusay yung pinakita niyang break doon.
00:22:51At meron siyang available shot.
00:22:53Dahil dyan, may chance ngayon si Reyes na tumabla dito sa score na 3-2.
00:22:59At itong last 2 ball na lang si Reyes, tutok pa itong cue ball para sa 8.
00:23:05Napakahusay at magaling yung pinapakitang tira dito ni Reyes.
00:23:09At may chance na makatabla si Reyes for the first time dito sa laban na ito.
00:23:15At ito talagang pinatras pa ni Reyes at dito kinuha yung ball number 9.
00:23:21Aiming si Reyes sa last ball, pasok yung 9.
00:23:24All 3 ang score natin mga kabilyard.
00:23:27At ganoon pa man, si Reyes pa rin ang magbe-break sa rack number 7.
00:23:31Kaya panoorin pa rin natin.
00:23:36Well, he's using the...
00:23:38I don't like that break.
00:23:40I don't either.
00:23:41That break is not worth a quarter.
00:23:44It's kind of like the deal about a good big man will beat a good little man,
00:23:47all other things being equal.
00:23:49I believe if you crack the balls a little harder than your opponent with accuracy
00:23:52that good results will occur.
00:23:54Meanwhile, this doesn't go anywhere, does it?
00:23:56Does it go inside?
00:23:56No, that goes straight in.
00:23:57Oh, okay.
00:23:58Well, he's in business then.
00:23:59He can just roll it straight forward.
00:24:03Good shot.
00:24:04Now a little inside English and lay the cue ball over right about the right-hand side pocket.
00:24:15Like this.
00:24:16Good shot.
00:24:20Now you can just stop the ball or draw it back a little bit.
00:24:26Good shot.
00:24:30No problem here.
00:24:31Just roll it forward here.
00:24:34It don't take him long, does it?
00:24:36No, it sure doesn't.
00:24:38No, they had one match in this tournament.
00:24:40It lasted for three hours.
00:24:43Personally, I think we need to take steps to address that sort of situation.
00:24:46That's ridiculous, three hours for a race to 11, which it was.
00:24:54Just draw it back, pass straight in on the 7 like this.
00:24:58Hard to go wrong here.
00:25:01You just go down to the end rail and back up a few inches.
00:25:05You better hold.
00:25:07Wow.
00:25:08Well, he just went a little farther than he meant to.
00:25:12Yeah, he got hit at left-handed, I think, though.
00:25:21Good shot.
00:25:22And Earl Strickland goes ahead four games to three.
00:25:28At dyan nga mukhang naka-abanti pa rin itong si Strickland.
00:25:334-3 ang score natin mga kabilyard.
00:25:35Lamang dyan si Strickland.
00:25:37At siya pa rin ang magbe-break dito sa rock number 8.
00:25:40Medyo maganda yung pinapakita ni Strickland dito.
00:25:43Pero hindi naman lumalayo itong si Reyes.
00:25:45At dito mukhang may chance na tumira ulit si Strickland.
00:25:49At muntik pang may scratch.
00:25:50Pero dahil dyan, hindi yan ay scratch at may available shot itong si Strickland.
00:25:55Tingnan natin mga kabilyard kung marun out niya itong rock number 8.
00:25:59But, you know, the safety, Earl will play safe sometimes, and I think this would be well advised in this
00:26:05current situation, don't you?
00:26:07Yeah, just stretch it out a little, let it drop it down below the 8 just stick right there.
00:26:13You're going to take no chances with it.
00:26:18Like that.
00:26:23That's even better because, uh, he completely took away the short rail.
00:26:29Yeah.
00:26:32But I definitely like going three rails.
00:26:35A lot of, most three cushion players do, but I think...
00:26:39Oh, no, no.
00:26:43No, he went three.
00:26:44Good shot.
00:26:45Look at how clear he hit that.
00:26:47He got kickin' out on you.
00:26:53At dyan nga, sobrang lupit at sobrang galing nung, uh, uh, two rail, uh, three rail kick shot ni Efren
00:26:59Reyes na yun, no.
00:27:00At, uh, walang masabi dyan si Strickland.
00:27:03Dahil talagang tinira ni Efren yun, hindi yan fluke or, uh, anumang klaseng chamba.
00:27:09Intentional shot yun mga kabilyar, no.
00:27:11Ganong kahusay sa mga kick shot itong si Efren Reyes.
00:27:13At dito nga, dahil dyan, nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataon ngayon na magkaroon ng playsafe.
00:27:18At dito, binawian ni Reyes ng isang playsafe si Strickland.
00:27:22Eh, sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:27:24Well, I might shoot at this. He has room to go rail first.
00:27:28Yeah.
00:27:30I mean, he's probably not gonna have position on the three ball, but I think this is worth the attempt.
00:27:36Or he could go lengthways.
00:27:38That's not a bad shot either.
00:27:41Better chance to get safe if he misses, uh, in that fashion.
00:27:51That's a pretty good shot, right, sir?
00:27:52Well, that's a loss there. He's got a free bank.
00:27:56At least I believe it will be a loss.
00:27:59Can't he load this up with left English?
00:28:01And he doesn't even have to draw it to get the cue ball to go around the eight and over
00:28:05towards the left side of the three ball.
00:28:08This is an absolutely free shot if he doesn't have to elevate the cue.
00:28:12He didn't have to do anything to it.
00:28:14All right, just hit it with a little left.
00:28:16Right.
00:28:23But he's got to make it.
00:28:25He wants him a shot. He can hit it.
00:28:27Well, if he can hit it, I don't know if he can hit it or not.
00:28:30Yeah, he can hit it.
00:28:32Guarantee he can hit it.
00:28:34Well, it doesn't look like it from my vantage point.
00:28:43Well, I may be wrong, but I believe he can hit it.
00:28:45Okay.
00:28:48Well, I believe he would have already shot.
00:28:49You have a better angle than I have.
00:28:51I think he would have already shot if he could hit it, don't you?
00:28:53Yeah.
00:28:54The monitor there looks like, you're right, the monitor over there looks like he may be completely hooked.
00:29:00Well, here he goes.
00:29:01Well, he may be able to go rail first, gently.
00:29:04All right, he was able to do it.
00:29:07Well, you're right.
00:29:08He was kicking at it.
00:29:09He was kicking at it.
00:29:10He was kicking at it.
00:29:11Well, he used a lot of right English, and he curved it a little bit from his left to his
00:29:15right.
00:29:16Meanwhile, he's in business here, buddy.
00:29:19But he was actually kicking at it.
00:29:22Well, I think he was, too.
00:29:24Now, whether we can get Earl after the match to admit that.
00:29:26I think he said it right then.
00:29:30He was the most surprised person in the joint.
00:29:35Well, there's been a lot of times in our joint careers where we have been the most surprised people at
00:29:41the place.
00:29:41Yeah, like I said, you can talk to yourself.
00:29:44You can even answer yourself.
00:29:45Just don't say, huh.
00:29:52Now, two rails out of the far left-hand corner.
00:29:55Just like that.
00:29:56A little too firm.
00:29:58You gotta be careful.
00:29:59At dito nga mukhang nakabawi ng tira itong si Strickland.
00:30:03At may chance siya ngayon umuvertake pa ng dalawang puntos.
00:30:064-3 ang score natin.
00:30:08At last two ball na lang itong si Strickland dito sa rock number 8.
00:30:12At dito, tutok na tutok na itong Jess.
00:30:15Ay itong 9 sa corner pocket.
00:30:17Pasok yung 9 na yan.
00:30:195-3 ang score natin dyan, mga kabilyard.
00:30:21Mukhang nakakalamang talaga dito si Strickland.
00:30:24At siya pa rin ang nasa breaking advantage.
00:30:26Siya ang magbe-break sa rock number 9.
00:30:28Kaya sundan natin kung madagdagan pa itong lamang ni Strickland.
00:30:33Medyo sub-laced yan.
00:30:35Nag-bounce yung cue ball.
00:30:36Kaya foul yan.
00:30:37Volley na an advantage kay Reyes.
00:30:40Very disappointed dito si Strickland.
00:30:41Tingnan natin kung anong magagawa niya dito.
00:30:46I just try to get, I like to get straight in on this two ball.
00:30:50Being a right-handed player, I mean if I can.
00:30:52Exactly, try to get straight in on this.
00:30:55Exactly, try to get straight in on this.
00:30:55I can just reach my arm over the table.
00:30:59The three ball's on the far right-hand side.
00:31:02Anyway, he's in business here.
00:31:05Low left English.
00:31:06He wants to come beyond the seven ball.
00:31:12Like this.
00:31:15Beautifully done.
00:31:18Now the four is by the side, you know, in the left-hand side pocket.
00:31:21All he's got to do is draw this back.
00:31:33Got to watch out for the seven ball.
00:31:35I just come back two or three inches here.
00:31:37I wouldn't come back much.
00:31:38He's going to look and see is that comfortable to get on the five ball with,
00:31:41and I believe it is.
00:31:42All right.
00:31:54Now this is worth taking a second look at.
00:31:56The last thing in the world you want to do is end up with a tough shot to get on
00:31:59the five.
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:15Now he just floats down to the in-rail.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:21Not even a big deal if he gets straight in on the five here.
00:32:24He took no chance of that occurring.
00:32:27I didn't like his position, like, because he had hit that ball so thin, you know.
00:32:31Of course, you know, with the angle and everything, he's going to get out, but still.
00:32:36Well, he could have made it easier, is your point.
00:32:39Right.
00:32:39A lot easier.
00:32:42Well, he's in pretty good shape here.
00:32:44One natural rail with a seven ball.
00:32:55Now he'll get an angle inside the eight.
00:32:57Now he decided to go the other way, just as good.
00:33:00Low left English, he'll hit the rail before the left-hand side pocket.
00:33:03I'll let the left English slide him down towards the nine ball.
00:33:08See, I think that's risky.
00:33:10At dito naman, mukhang nakakabawi si Reyes dyan sa mga tira niya na yan.
00:33:145-3 ang score, lamang si Strickland ang dalawang puntos.
00:33:17Pero si Reyes ito mukhang abanti rin ng isang puntos siyan.
00:33:21Ayan, pasok yung 9, 5-4 ang score natin, lamang pa rin si Strickland.
00:33:25Pero si Efren Reyes naman ang mayroong breaking advantage ngayon dyan sa rock number 10.
00:33:31At mapansin natin talagang focus itong si Reyes dahil nga isa sa pinakamagagandang laban niya ito at kalaban niya dito
00:33:40yung kanyang pinakamortal na karibal sa larangan ng pool and billiard.
00:33:45Walang iba kung hindi si Earl Strickland.
00:33:48Dito nga mukhang nauungusan ni Strickland si Reyes pero tingnan natin kung paano makahabol itong si Efren Reyes.
00:33:56Si Reyes ngayon ang magbe-break dito sa rock number 10 kaya sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:34:26It's kind of important here.
00:34:27I like to come down far enough where I don't have any trouble.
00:34:30He was looking to see.
00:34:31So I think he can draw this two rails, miss the nine and come underneath the six.
00:34:43He wants to use low left and come two rails, a short two rails, out of this lower right-hand
00:34:49corner.
00:34:52Okay, well, he, uh, boy, that was, that was risky, buddy, wasn't it?
00:34:57Yeah, it was a lot risky.
00:35:01I don't know, I'm surprised at what he did there.
00:35:05Where's that?
00:35:06He's following it, didn't he?
00:35:08Yeah.
00:35:10Wow.
00:35:10At dyan nga, nagpakita ng mahusay na trick shot din itong si Strickland, no?
00:35:16Maganda yung pinakita niyang pakarga doon at saka yung paikot ng bola para makakuha ng ball position dito sa next
00:35:23object ball niya.
00:35:25Mahusay din talaga sa cue ball control itong si Strickland at saka fast pacing, no?
00:35:30Yung sa kanyang pagtira dito sa mga bola.
00:35:33Pero accurate, napakataas ng accuracy niya sa kanyang paketing skills.
00:35:39At dito, may chance na maka-run out si Strickland sa rock number 10.
00:35:43Sundan natin, mga kabilyard.
00:35:54I go below the eight here. I don't try to pull it above the eight.
00:35:58I mean, just punch it out one, right?
00:36:00Right, right.
00:36:01I don't know if you've got that much angle.
00:36:03Oh, yeah, I can do that.
00:36:05If you can do that, that's what you do.
00:36:06Yep.
00:36:17Well, now he's back in perfect line.
00:36:22Barring the unpredictable, he's going to go ahead six games to four.
00:36:32At dito nga tulad sa inaasahan, panalo si Strickland dyan sa rock number 10.
00:36:37Rock number 11, siya pa rin ang magbe-break.
00:36:40Ang score natin ngayon, 6-4.
00:36:41Lamang na lamang dyan si Strickland, no?
00:36:44Race 29 lang ito, mga kabilyard.
00:36:46At dito nga, nag-ahabol pa itong si Efren Reyes.
00:36:50Walang buwalang pumasok, kaya back to table si Reyes.
00:36:52Yeah.
00:36:52Efren does not have a shot here.
00:36:55Now, I'll show you what I like here, if he can do it, but I don't know if he can.
00:37:00If he can get around that enough, I like loading it up with writing.
00:37:03Just knocking it out one rail and just trying to park the cue ball right there.
00:37:07Yeah, I think he can do that.
00:37:08I think he can do that.
00:37:10And he hits it easy, so the English takes quickly.
00:37:12Right, that's a good shot.
00:37:13You just feathered this ball.
00:37:14Just bunt it.
00:37:16Bump it out.
00:37:18Now, he can't go two rails, even though that's an easy hit, because the one ball figures to hit the
00:37:23five.
00:37:23Right.
00:37:24There's no way to get it safe.
00:37:26Exactly.
00:37:30Well, he can't roll out.
00:37:32I don't think he can roll out.
00:37:37Well, if I rolled out, I'd roll it an inch or so to my left, or a half inch.
00:37:43Let Earl take it.
00:37:44If it was questionable whether you could get enough in this.
00:37:46Well, I don't like this two-rail kick.
00:37:48It takes a perfect hit to miss the five ball.
00:37:52He kicked it in.
00:37:55He kicked it in.
00:37:56He may have a shot.
00:37:58He may have a cut shot.
00:38:03Oh, that's awful lucky there.
00:38:05Well, you and I know he wasn't playing to make it.
00:38:07He was awful lucky.
00:38:11Well, he was pretty fortunate that other time when the one ball went in long ways.
00:38:16I don't remember who won that game, but a lot more ways to sell out than making it the length
00:38:23of the table.
00:38:24Well, there are a lot of things he can do here.
00:38:26We can park him behind the five.
00:38:28We can thin it, cutting it to his right, which is what it looks like he's going to do.
00:38:32Like this.
00:38:44Well, I'll show you the shot I like here.
00:38:45I don't know if Earl will do it.
00:38:46I like kind of a masse rail first kick.
00:38:49I like mashing it slightly around like this and coming off the side of it and the cue ball back
00:38:54down here.
00:38:57I prefer the two-wheel kick.
00:39:00Okay.
00:39:01He's looking at it now.
00:39:07I think I prefer hitting here and here with English.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:12Well, he's really got to load it up with English to lengthen it out off that second rail.
00:39:16Yeah.
00:39:16It's a draw shot.
00:39:22Perfect.
00:39:23That's the way I like it.
00:39:24Yeah, that's a beautiful shot.
00:39:25And a nice call on your part, too.
00:39:29He's going to draw it in order to hit it full.
00:39:33Now, he's got some options here, buddy.
00:39:36He can come in here to the end rail and go two rails off the ball or one rail into
00:39:41it,
00:39:41and what speed he hits it and how thick he hits the two-ball to determine what direction the cue
00:39:46ball goes.
00:39:47Right.
00:39:47I think he's trying to hit it full.
00:39:49He's trying to hit it full.
00:39:50Yeah, I like the full hit, too, and sometimes the cue ball will go through the object ball.
00:39:55Right.
00:39:56He's going to try to get the cue balls close to the seven, six, and the four as he can,
00:40:00and he'll bank the two.
00:40:01If he hits it one rail, he'll bank the two out the way from him.
00:40:04He'll hit it pretty firm.
00:40:07This shot right here.
00:40:08He'll hit it pretty full and pretty hard.
00:40:12No?
00:40:13Golly, that's not a rail.
00:40:15No rail.
00:40:15Yes, it is.
00:40:16It is, but if he hits two rails in the object ball, the cue ball travels out, it travels a
00:40:23lot slower than if he hits the ball going in.
00:40:25Yeah, he hit the ball going in.
00:40:29The cue ball wouldn't travel nearly that fast.
00:40:32Well, if he had, it's academic anyway.
00:40:39At dito nga mukhang nakalusot na si Strickland at may chance siya ngayon na marun out itong rock number 11
00:40:45na ito.
00:40:46Mukhang mahihirapan si Reyes na makahabol dahil two rocks na ang lamang dito ni Strickland.
00:40:52At ito mukhang minamadali na naman ni Strickland yung pag-ubos ng bola dito sa rock number 11.
00:40:59At makikita natin yung very precise precision shot ni Strickland.
00:41:04Hindi ito pangkaraniwan at dekalibre yung kanyang cueing skills.
00:41:09At tingnan natin kung makabawi pa si Reyes dito.
00:41:35Now, that shot's on.
00:41:37Yes, it is.
00:41:38Now, he's playing it just.
00:41:42That's okay.
00:41:43Yeah, this is fine.
00:41:45Yeah.
00:41:48I would have probably, for that particular shot right then, I would have probably let the same way eat it.
00:41:54But I'm just saying, a lot of times that shot comes up to where you gotta shoot it that way
00:41:59you can.
00:41:59So, it's fine.
00:42:29Talagang mahusay yung pinapakita doon ni Strickland.
00:42:32Pero dito sa rock number 12, mukhang hindi pinagbigyan si Strickland dahil walang pumasok.
00:42:39Back to table naman si Reyes.
00:42:44No problem with the two ball, except you gotta be careful if you don't want to have to hit the
00:42:49six when you make the two ball.
00:42:50I don't know that he can avoid that.
00:42:54I might consider if he has the right angle, if I see it right, to go two rails around the
00:42:58nine.
00:42:59That's if the three passes the nine.
00:43:01Yeah, I think he can go two rails around it.
00:43:04Well, if he does that, he doesn't have to interfere with the six in any fashion.
00:43:10What he might do here, he might have to be worried about getting behind the four.
00:43:13He might have to hit it like that.
00:43:15You know what I mean?
00:43:16Yeah.
00:43:17Come around two rails on the back and cross it.
00:43:19I don't think he's got to hit it that hard.
00:43:21Well, let's see what he does here.
00:43:23I don't know.
00:43:23He's hitting it inside.
00:43:24That's what it looks like.
00:43:28Why would he do that?
00:43:30Well, he must not have thought he could do the other shot.
00:43:34Yeah, evidently it was a shot where he was going to run into it.
00:43:38Now, there's a shot where you can go three rails.
00:43:41I'll show you on the monitor if I see it right.
00:43:43I might be wrong.
00:43:44You make the three.
00:43:45One with right angles.
00:43:47Two, three, and back here for the four ball.
00:43:51Yeah, that works for me.
00:43:58That works for me.
00:44:00He can't draw this ball.
00:44:01You can't interfere with the seven and eight down there.
00:44:08He hit it pretty easy.
00:44:11Well, that's fine.
00:44:12That's just as good the way he did it.
00:44:14Yeah.
00:44:15He did it the same way, only he played position for the corner.
00:44:18Right.
00:44:18Which is really the place to play that, really.
00:44:20Right.
00:44:20Okay.
00:44:21Yep, you're right.
00:44:26He's kind of laughing.
00:44:28Yeah, I like that little giggle expression that he gets.
00:44:33There he goes.
00:44:34Where's it going?
00:44:36Where's it going?
00:44:37I don't know.
00:44:38If he had to do that, he might as well have played it in the other pocket.
00:44:40Yeah.
00:44:44Well, he can't get cute.
00:44:46He cannot afford to not get out here.
00:44:48No, no, he can't.
00:44:50He's got to get out.
00:44:56Oh, God.
00:45:01I can't stand it.
00:45:02That kind of stroke, man.
00:45:05You know what that reminds me of?
00:45:07I'll tell you in just a second here.
00:45:10As our score is going to go to eight games to five.
00:45:12Maybe.
00:45:13He got straight in on me.
00:45:14At dito nga, mukhang nakabawi ng momentum si Reyes sa rock number 12.
00:45:19Last two balls na lang siya dito sa table na ito.
00:45:23At mukhang may chance na umabanti.
00:45:25Dahil nga tatlo na yung lamang dito ni Strickland.
00:45:29At ito, last ball na lang si Reyes para sa rock number 12.
00:45:33May chance na makahabol ng isang puntos.
00:45:35Kaya makikita natin dito, mga kabilyer, no?
00:45:38Mukhang wala din na remorse at saka nervyos itong si Reyes sa kanyang tira.
00:45:43At 7-5, lamang na lang ng dalawang punto si Strickland.
00:45:47At dito, mukhang may pumasok, no?
00:45:50Doon sa corner pocket na yun.
00:45:52Medyo alangan nila yung position ng cue ball para sa next object ball.
00:45:56Pero tingnan natin kung ganong kagaling si Reyes sa mga ganitong situation.
00:46:14Bete-baile in tamper.
00:46:14Yeung suntan natin.
00:46:14All right.
00:46:18Well, I thought it was tough.
00:46:21Yeah, he missed the shot, but he had a shot to get position.
00:46:25He had to go between the eight and the six.
00:46:27Now, does Earl have a half or a third of a pocket?
00:46:29Like a half a pocket, yeah.
00:46:31Well, if he does, he's close to the two ball, which makes the accuracy not that difficult.
00:46:36Well, he was shaking his head.
00:46:38Well, I think Earl will play the combination if he doesn't have a respectable opening there.
00:46:46Grady, I give my students and stuff when I teach, they'll say,
00:46:52Man, I can't tell if that ball will go or not.
00:46:54I say, Well, I'll tell you how you can tell if it will go.
00:46:57You use that ball just like it's the cue ball.
00:46:59You address it.
00:47:01You address it like it's the cue ball and see if you can shoot it in that pocket.
00:47:05If you can shoot it in that pocket, then it'll go.
00:47:16Well, Ephraim may face the same dilemma.
00:47:18Well, he's got more of a hole.
00:47:21He's got more of a pocket.
00:47:27Well, if he had it back, I think he'd like to take the combination.
00:47:31Maybe.
00:47:31Yeah, you're right.
00:47:32Yeah, he definitely doesn't want to do that.
00:47:37He doesn't want to do that.
00:47:38My nose is cold.
00:47:38It's cold in here.
00:47:40Well, they usually keep it cold for some reason.
00:47:47That's a good angle.
00:47:50Well, maybe it's not a good angle.
00:47:52Maybe he's going to cut it more than I think.
00:47:55Yeah.
00:47:56But he's okay here.
00:48:09He's an interesting player, Ephraim.
00:48:11He's always fascinated me.
00:48:12He gets a lot more cue ball movement than you think he needs.
00:48:18Now, he'll come up one rail.
00:48:19At doon sa pagkakamali ni Strickland na yun, nakabawi ngayon ng posisyon si Reyes.
00:48:24At ito mukhang may chance na may steal ni Reyes itong rock number 13 kay Strickland.
00:48:31Naganda yung layout ng table at may chance na marunout niya para makahabol dito si Efraim Reyes.
00:48:37At ito nga, panoorin natin kung paano niya i-clean up ito.
00:48:40Pull it back out a little bit.
00:48:48Good.
00:48:49There went that following.
00:48:51He followed it.
00:48:53He's messed around here.
00:48:54That nine is a huge thing here.
00:48:57You know?
00:48:57Yeah, he'll have to make the nine on this shot or hit behind it and knock it over the side
00:49:02rail.
00:49:02I believe he can go inside the nine with a thin hit inside English like this.
00:49:09Yep.
00:49:10Good shot.
00:49:11Well, he had a lot more adventure.
00:49:13Not out.
00:49:14Then what do you want?
00:49:16Now the score is 8-6.
00:49:17It's a close match again.
00:49:19At dyan nga tulad sa inaasahan natin mga kabilyard, no?
00:49:22Tutok na yung 9.
00:49:23At ito, paunti-unting humahabol si Reyes.
00:49:267-5 ang score.
00:49:28May lamang si Strickland dyan.
00:49:30Pero ito, humahabol si Reyes.
00:49:346-7, no?
00:49:36Lamang pa rin ang isang punto si Strickland.
00:49:38May pumasok sa side packet, yung uno.
00:49:41At dito, may available shot sa dos.
00:49:447-7.
00:49:45You can either play the 4 off of the 7 ball.
00:49:48Or the 7 combination.
00:49:50Or the combination.
00:49:51Or you can do it with the 5 ball, but I believe it's easier with the 4 ball.
00:50:16At dito nga mga kabilyard, mapapansin natin na medyo may dalawang cluster.
00:50:21Yung 7-9 at saka itong 8-5.
00:50:24Mukhang alanganin yung tira na ito.
00:50:26Tingnan natin kung anong gagawin ni Reyes.
00:50:29Panuori natin mga kabilyard.
00:50:55It's a Filipino cue.
00:50:56It cost a lot of dollars.
00:50:58Well, meanwhile, he's gotten out of line here.
00:51:00This is tough.
00:51:03He has to elevate the cue to keep from scratching if he plays it over there.
00:51:06Or, well, he's going to load it up with Inside English and try to go to the end rail between
00:51:10the 8 and 9, like this.
00:51:14Well, he can't make anything here.
00:51:17There's nothing that goes.
00:51:19And I'm telling you, he's struggling through every race.
00:51:20Yes, he is.
00:51:23There's no shot here, buddy, except back in the 5.
00:51:27Unless the combination is easier than I think it is.
00:51:35Well, I'd like to get a close-up.
00:51:36If that 7 is frozen, Earl's got problems here.
00:51:41If it's frozen and out a little bit, which it looks like, I don't even think he can make a
00:51:45ball here.
00:51:47At dahil sa tira na yun, mukhang makakabalik dito si Strickland, no?
00:51:51At ito nga, sumablay dyan si Efren Reyes.
00:51:55Kaya may chance ngayon na makabalik itong si Strickland.
00:51:58If that's the case, I might play the 9 ball with the cue ball.
00:52:03And maybe the 7 a double kiss in or something?
00:52:06Maybe.
00:52:07Just maybe you could play the 9 with the 5 to stick.
00:52:15Yeah, that's a possibility.
00:52:17That would certainly be creative.
00:52:20He's playing the 9.
00:52:26He hit it pretty good too, I tell you.
00:52:29He hit it real good.
00:52:30Yes, he did.
00:52:32That's a good shot right there.
00:52:34Never got a hand.
00:52:37Man, this is not hair sharp.
00:52:39Ooh.
00:52:42At doon nga, mukhang na napahirapan itong si Strickland.
00:52:45Mahirap yung position ngayon para kay Reyes.
00:52:49Konting pagkakamali dito, talagang ma-steal ni Strickland yung rock na ito.
00:52:54Kaya tingnan natin kung anong pahirap ang gagawin ni Efren Reyes dito kay Strickland.
00:53:01Sinisilip niya yung sinko at may chance siya na mag-combine.
00:53:04Pero tingnan natin, mukhang alanganin.
00:53:07Sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:53:08If he hit it that thin, he'll be alright.
00:53:11If he could hit it that thin.
00:53:12He's shooting at this pocket over here.
00:53:14Well, I like it shooting at it in the pocket by the 9 ball.
00:53:17Yeah.
00:53:20Gotta hit it real thin to shoot it in the other pocket.
00:53:23Yeah, it looks different on the monitors than it does.
00:53:26That's a very thin cut.
00:53:28I believe the 7's frozen on the other.
00:53:30Glipp of the pocket now.
00:53:33Yeah.
00:53:38That's a great shot.
00:53:40Ganun pa man.
00:53:41Sa sobrang hirap ng tira na yun.
00:53:42Pero napina pa rin ni Reyes.
00:53:44Napakalupit nung kanyang precision shot na yun.
00:53:47At dahil dyan, nagkaroon siya ng available shot dito sa object ball niya.
00:53:51May chance na tumabla si Reyes dito sa rock number 14.
00:53:54At ito nga.
00:53:56Meron ng pagkakataon si Reyes ngayon
00:53:58na magkaroon ng chance na makahabol.
00:54:02At ito, last three ball si Reyes para dito sa rock na ito.
00:54:05At mayroong pagkakataon ngayon si Reyes
00:54:09para sa rock na ito.
00:54:11Yeah, he did.
00:54:13I'm telling you, he's struggling.
00:54:16He's struggling.
00:54:16Well, right now, Earl is a little bit too.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:20Or he can just go to the side really if he's got around the 9's shot.
00:54:25Well, it's getting more interesting but he's gonna go to 8 games to 7.
00:54:28Yeah.
00:54:31There.
00:54:32We're not careful.
00:54:33All the fake houses will be closed.
00:54:35Pasok yung 9.
00:54:36All 7 ng score natin.
00:54:38Tabla tayo sa pangatlong pagkakataon, mga kabilyard.
00:54:40Hill to hill match ito at neck to neck.
00:54:43Pero mataas ang percentage ng queuing at paketing skills nitong si Strickland.
00:54:49931 kumpara dito sa 830 ni Efren Reyes.
00:54:53Ito nga, mukhang sumabsad pa yung bola dito at kailangan magbangshot pa nitong si Efren Reyes.
00:55:01Medyo natuwa siya dito pero tingnan natin kung makuha niyang ibangshot itong uno.
00:55:07Ganun pa man, hindi yan pumasok.
00:55:09Open na open kay Strickland.
00:55:13Well, buddy, if I see this correctly, he can make this ball.
00:55:18Come down to the end rail here and back up about in here.
00:55:22That's what he wants to do if he can.
00:55:24If he can do that, that's exactly what he wants to do.
00:55:33I caught the three ball.
00:55:35But he's going to have a shot.
00:55:36Yeah, he's okay.
00:55:38He's all right.
00:55:40Phew.
00:55:42Well, do you draw this down to the end rail and back up?
00:55:45Do you try to risk hitting five?
00:55:47He can't roll this.
00:55:49He's got so shot.
00:55:50Well, boy, he's been playing.
00:55:52He'll draw it right into the five.
00:55:53Well, I think it hits the high side of the five.
00:55:56You can elevate the cue slightly, which is another one of the Earl's Strickland Fortes.
00:56:08Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:56:09He's the high side of the five.
00:56:10Nice shot, Earl.
00:56:17Now, you can do whatever he wants as regards to getting on the six.
00:56:20From this angle, I like playing it for the corner.
00:56:24There's a touch of left, English.
00:56:27Back side.
00:56:28Oh, he's going to go to the side.
00:56:29That's just as good.
00:56:30Well, there he goes.
00:56:34There he goes.
00:56:43Nice shot, nice shot.
00:56:51At ito na nga, mga kabilyad.
00:56:53Last three ball si Strickland.
00:56:54Mukhang mauna siya sa top of the hill, no?
00:56:57At may chance na maka last rock dito si Strickland.
00:57:01All seven ang score natin.
00:57:03Balikatan ang labanan.
00:57:05Talagang napakahusay nitong dalawang manlalaro na ito.
00:57:08At hindi magpapatalo dito si Strickland.
00:57:11Mukhang mauna siya sa top of the hill.
00:57:14Kaya, tingnan natin kung makabawi pa dito si Efren Reyes.
00:57:18Ayan na, eight, seven na.
00:57:20Lamang na si Strickland.
00:57:21Last rock.
00:57:22Siya pa rin ang nasa breaking advantage.
00:57:25Kaya, sundan natin kung makabawi pa dito si Reyes.
00:57:28I'm going to go back to this other side again.
00:57:44Still using that long ridge you alluded to earlier, buddy.
00:57:47Yeah.
00:57:52I don't...
00:57:53I think the other side is definitely the best breaking side.
00:57:56Well, like you firing the rack guys, he's going to let that side of the table go.
00:58:00He won't stay there and go down.
00:58:02Not making a ball on the break.
00:58:04Well, you got to shoot here.
00:58:05You got to back this cross corner.
00:58:07At dyan nga, dry break, no?
00:58:09At mahirap pa itong position ng cue ball para sa uno.
00:58:12Tingnan natin yung discard ni Reyes dito at kailangan niyang makapuntos dahil nga last rock na lang dito si Ars
00:58:20Strickland.
00:58:21Bangshot ang ginawa ni Reyes.
00:58:23Muntik pang hindi pumasok.
00:58:25Medyo makapal yun.
00:58:26Ganun pa man.
00:58:27Na ipasok pa rin ni Reyes doon sa corner pocket at available yung dos, no?
00:58:31Tingnan natin kung maka-runout na si Reyes dito at tumabla tayo.
00:58:35Magkaroon tayo ng heel-to-heel match.
00:58:44Now, he just wants to use some right-hand English.
00:58:47He wants an angle on the forward.
00:58:49He does not want to be straight in.
00:58:53That will do nicely.
00:58:54He wants to get where he can get almost just real close to straight in on the five here
00:59:01because he wants to go forward just an inch or two.
00:59:03So he'll have an angle to come down on the seven.
00:59:07Right.
00:59:08I believe I'd rather do it that way than to try to.
00:59:11And to try to play in the corner, you mean?
00:59:13Right.
00:59:13Yeah.
00:59:14Well, he's going to have to play.
00:59:15He's going to have to play the six on the other side now.
00:59:17It's harder to get the right angle.
00:59:19So I would rather play for the three-rail angle here.
00:59:23I just play the five and play the cue ball straight across close to the three, the six.
00:59:27So when I shoot the six on the side, I come around three rails.
00:59:33You see what I'm saying?
00:59:34Well, I think he's going to play this for the corner, the six ball, I mean.
00:59:37Let's see.
00:59:40No, he didn't.
00:59:42Well, that's the wrong angle on that ball.
00:59:44Well, I don't know if he got there or not.
00:59:46If he didn't get where he can cut it the right way, he's going to have to play this in
00:59:52the corner.
00:59:53It's the wrong angle.
00:59:55Yep.
00:59:59Well, he's going to have to play this in the corner and go three rails or with low right
01:00:05English or play the combination.
01:00:08I don't know what else he could do here.
01:00:10Draw his ball.
01:00:12Two rails out of the corner up there.
01:00:14Yeah.
01:00:14Well, as you mentioned, that's not an efferent.
01:00:19He doesn't like that.
01:00:20Right.
01:00:22He's going to play for the combo.
01:00:29Well, as getting on combo's goals, that's not bad, but this is eminently missable.
01:00:34It sure is.
01:00:36I miss it about 80% of the time.
01:00:38Oh, these are hard shots, especially in the heat of the back.
01:01:05At ito, pareho na score natin.
01:01:08Lamang na ngayon si Reyes ng break, no?
01:01:12At dito siya ang magbe-break sa final rock.
01:01:15Hill to hill match tayo, mga kabilyard.
01:01:38Now, where do you roll out to here?
01:01:42Well, I don't know where, but I know you're very careful.
01:01:47Oh, he's rolling out to a hook?
01:01:50Well, I think you have to.
01:01:51Mr. Strykman, as he has?
01:01:53I think you have to, man.
01:01:56I think you rolled out to half a hook.
01:01:58If he's hooked, he'd get to shoot again as me.
01:02:01Well, if I'm not play this like a one-packing shot, if he tells me...
01:02:05Medyo masaklap yung break doon ni Reyes.
01:02:08At dito nga, mukhang napagbigyan pa itong si Stryklan, no?
01:02:13At walang pumasok sa break na yan ni Efren Reyes.
01:02:16Pero mahirap yung position nitong cue ball sa uno.
01:02:19At kailangan niyang mag-kick shot para sa play safety.
01:02:24Pero alanganin yan, mga kabilyard.
01:02:26Mukhang binalik ni Stryklan kay Efren Reyes itong push ni Reyes, no?
01:02:33Dahil nga, hindi maganda yung tira doon.
01:02:36Pero ganun paman, lalo pang pinahirapan ni Efren Reyes itong si Stryklan sa tira na yan.
01:02:46Oh, I might have to shoot his jump shot here.
01:02:50This is the type of thing for which Efren has become famous.
01:02:53He finds ways to get safe when nobody else can very well.
01:02:58He might can go.
01:02:59Earl might have a shot here.
01:03:03He may have a shot here.
01:03:06All right.
01:03:09Come down through here with a whole lot of spin.
01:03:12Just missing the time.
01:03:14And coming across and clipping this ball.
01:03:16Bringing it back to here and bringing the cue ball back down the table.
01:03:19Well, that might work.
01:03:21You know, but I think he can twirl this around the right edge of the two ball.
01:03:26And go rail first and actually play to make this like this.
01:03:30Good shot.
01:03:34Napakahusay nung ginawa ni Stryklan doon na pauna banda niya yung uno.
01:03:39Dahil dyan, nagkaroon siya ngayon ng pagkakataon dito sa ball number two.
01:03:43Unfortunately, medyo mayroong harang doon sa itaas yung shade.
01:03:48Ah, 4 ba yun?
01:03:49Ah, pero tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan niya ni Stryklan.
01:03:54Oh, it went. Okay.
01:04:03Well, he got tough here.
01:04:05He's gonna have to bank this cross corner.
01:04:07I don't think he wants to play safe here.
01:04:09I mean, he could play it cross side too.
01:04:10But I like the cross corner shot.
01:04:15Yeah, I do too.
01:04:18I don't dislike the cross side.
01:04:22I don't dislike the cross side.
01:04:25I play this cross corner.
01:04:26I play the cue ball all the way down.
01:04:28Yeah, right, right. Exactly.
01:04:29All the way down with it.
01:04:44At dyan nga, yan ang pinakang magandang nangyari dito kay Efren Reyes.
01:04:52Nagkamaliin ang bang siya dyan.
01:04:53Si Stryklan, no?
01:04:54Mukhang sumablay siya dyan.
01:04:55At dito, may chance na si Reyes.
01:04:57Pero unfortunately, medyo nakaangat yung dos doon sa corner pocket.
01:05:01Mahirap ito, mga kabilyard.
01:05:03Pero disappointed pa rin dyan si Stryklan.
01:05:06Hill to hill match ito.
01:05:07Kaya medyo nerve-wracking yung mga ganitong situation.
01:05:12Pero tingnan natin anong gagawin ni Efren Reyes.
01:05:15Bank shot.
01:05:16Boom.
01:05:16Patoy tayo dyan, mga kabilyard.
01:05:18Ang lupit nung ginawang bank shot dyan ni Efren Bata Reyes.
01:05:24Now, this is a tough shot.
01:05:25Do you give yourself the extra chance to make the nine?
01:05:29Or do you go three rails and try to get on the combination?
01:05:32Oh, man.
01:05:33I don't know.
01:05:34Just however you feel, however it looks there.
01:05:38You don't do that.
01:05:41Oh, look at this.
01:05:42And he got...
01:05:44He got position.
01:05:45About as good as you can get.
01:05:50Oh, man.
01:05:51At just a position na yan, mga kabilyard, medyo alanganin talaga yan.
01:05:55Pero tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan ni Reyes itong position na yan sa ball number six.
01:06:02Na last four ball na lang siya dito.
01:06:04Kailangan niyang maipasok itong six na ito.
01:06:06Dahil kapag hindi ito pumasok, 100% si Stryklan ang mananalo.
01:06:12So, kaya no choice si Reyes dito kundi niya maipasok ito.
01:06:15At dito nga, solid na solid, no?
01:06:18Pasok yung six.
01:06:19At ito, may chance na si Reyes ngayon para manalo dito sa rock na ito.
01:06:27There's no way in the world he's drawn this, I don't think.
01:06:33I might be wrong.
01:06:37No, that's what I thought.
01:06:41Boy, I'm saying he's got every wrong world, hasn't he?
01:06:45So far.
01:06:50Ayan, napangiti na si Reyes.
01:06:52At alam na di, sabi nga ng mga pool master, no?
01:06:55Medyo malakas pa ng konti.
01:06:56At ito, si Hakto na yan.
01:06:59Last rock, last ball si Reyes.
01:07:02Thank you guys for watching.
01:07:03See you on my next video.
01:07:06Ayan.
