00:00:21The End
00:00:31I think it was
00:00:33NANI
00:00:36It's questionable whether you could get enough
00:00:39Here I come
00:00:40Takes a perfect hit to miss a five ball
00:00:43Or you might get in
00:00:46It's fair to you
00:00:50Now this is one that I definitely like going first
00:00:53I pick up the pacer, he's not gonna win this match
00:00:56I like this right here, buddy
00:00:59See, he's got your head
00:01:01Better chance to win
00:01:03I hate it
00:01:08See, he went ahead
00:01:15The Magician
00:01:19Nice
00:01:45Good morning, friends and billiard
00:01:48Welcome to Billiard Masters Reaction and Commentary Videos
00:01:52For today's reaction video, ito pag-uusapan natin yung isa sa mga nemesis na kalaban ni Efren Reyes
00:01:59Walang iba kung hindi itong si Earl the Pearl Strickland
00:02:03Dito nga, gaganapin yung The Pool Masters, nine ball championship
00:02:09At ginanap ito dyan sa Chesapeake, Virginia
00:02:42Mapapansin natin si Efren Reyes ang nanalo sa lag
00:02:43Si Strickland mukhang nasa table ngayon dahil walang ball ang pumasok
00:02:48At tingnan natin kung maka-run out si Strickland dito sa rock number one
00:02:53Sundan 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 stuck the hook behind something if you don't
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 whole 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. I 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
00:03:34Mm-hmm
00:03:35And 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 play, sure
00:03:42Maybe not the best shot in the world, but it's a shot
00:03:45You play the one in here, you play this rail, 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
00:03:57He 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 gonna play the third one
00:04:04All right, but you think he's gonna cut it into the three ball?
00:04:09Yeah, I think so
00:04:09We started with 88 players down to 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 two to seven dito sa corner pocket
00:04:31Very disappointed yan si Reyes, pero ganun pa man, maaga pa
00:04:35At back to table naman itong si Strickland
00:04:39So meron chance ngayon si Strickland na i-combination yan or karambola
00:04:44Pero mukhang tatapusin muna ni Strickland yung mailan-ilang bola dito
00:04:50Para makaposition sa mga object ball nya
00:04:53Ito 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 seven ball
00:05:02He's got a good angle to do that
00:05:04Yeah, he can just float forward here
00:05:12Like this, a little inside angle
00:05:15Perfect
00:05:16He used the whole pocket, didn't he?
00:05:18Yes, he did
00:05:19Now he can go on the...
00:05:21I like where he's looking here on the seven
00:05:23And he wants to get an angle where he can cut the six 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 six to his left
00:05:30There
00:05:31That's what he's doing
00:05:32Yeah, perfect
00:05:33Like this
00:05:35Now he can punch out above the seven ball
00:05:39Like this, good shot
00:05:42Now the seven on the corner, the eight on the side
00:05:44And he's gonna go ahead one game to nothing
00:05:48At dyan nga sa pagpasok ng 7
00:05:50No, mapapansin natin
00:05:51Very 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, no?
00:06:05Kaya dito si Strickland pa rin ang magbe-break
00:06:08Sa rock number two
00:06:09Malakas ang break dyan ni Strickland
00:06:11Tingnan natin kung may pumasok
00:06:13Mukhang malabo yung break na yan
00:06:16Dry break
00:06:17Kaya si Reyes balik sa table
00:06:19Tingnan natin kung makabawi si Reyes dito sa rock number two
00:06:23Sundan natin mga kabilyard
00:06:36At dito nga sa tira na yan mga kabilyard
00:06:39Kailangan niyang i-break yung ball number three, no?
00:06:42Dahil 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 yun
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 not even have, he might make 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 sluggish start
00:07:20But he needs to get out here
00:07:24Nice shot
00:07:25Watch 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 eh
00:07:42Efren Reyes
00:07:44So very disappointed siya doon sa angle
00:07:47Pero tingnan natin mukhang may chance naman na makapag play safe dito si Reyes
00:07:52Here, the cue ball here
00:07:55Here
00:07:56Here
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
00:08:18Right there
00:08:19Okay, 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 then
00:08:30Earl seems a little tentative
00:08:33Yeah
00:08:35Now you can go up and down the table or use inside English
00:08:39Since he's such a great lover of inside English
00:08:41Well he does do that, he loves it all right
00:08:44Well that's not an easy shot that he just did
00:08:47No
00:08:48Not a thing easy about that
00:08:53He's on the wrong side of this
00:08:54No, he's all right
00:08:56Just far enough
00:09:03At dahil ganja, nakakuha ng magandang ball positioning itong si Reyes
00:09:08Mas tutok yan sa 8 at maganda na rin ang position yan sa 9
00:09:11Eh dito makikita natin yung papano pagkabatikan itong si Reyes nung sa rock number 2
00:09:18At 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 dollar entry fee, that makes it attractive
00:09:40Rock number 3, dito nga nag break si Reyes
00:09:43At ayan, very unfortunate
00:09:44Na-scratch pa yung bola no
00:09:46Sa daming mga ball ang papasok
00:09:48Yung ball number 1 pa yung na-scratch
00:09:53Dahil nga dyan, balik sa table itong si Strickland
00:09:57Kapano orin natin makabilyan
00:10:27Back just a little for the 7
00:10:28Of course that's down the road
00:10:42That's a good shot
00:10:43Yep
00:10:43Got 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, he's going to play the angle about just a little left of where he's at right there
00:11:09In order to get 2 rails to round on the 8-9
00:11:13He'll shoot a 7 angle 2 rails, maybe hit the 3rd 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
00:11:23Exactly, that's perfect
00:11:25That's where he wanted to be
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
00:11:47Itong laban nila ni Reyes, no?
00:11:50Nasa
00:11:50Last 2 ball na lang siya
00:11:52Pero may balak siyang kombinasyonan
00:11:56Itong 8-9
00:11:59Pero tingnan natin kung magawa yan paraan ni
00:12:02Earl Strickland
00:12:06I find it helps to use low right English on this type of shot too
00:12:13Good shot
00:12:152-1 advantage Earl Strickland
00:12:18And it's off the monitor but he defeated quite a number of terrific players
00:12:23Well, he changed his break though
00:12:24He came out in the middle of the table to break the balls
00:12:29Before he was breaking off the rail
00:12:33Well, he's got a push here, I think
00:12:36There's no way to thin this ball
00:12:39If he hits it thin enough to get it safer
00:12:40At dyan nga sa break ni Strickland
00:12:44Walang pumasok kaya back to table si Reyes
00:12:46Pero medyo alanganin yung posisyon ng cue ball
00:12:49Para dito sa object ball niya, no?
00:12:51Tingnan natin kung papaano gumalaw dito si Reyes
00:12:54At kung ano yung discarte niya dito
00:12:57Kung mag-play safe
00:12:58O mag-poose
00:13:00Kaya sundan natin mga kabilyard
00:13:02He hit the left-hand side of the one
00:13:04He can
00:13:05Huh? He 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 one
00:13:13Earl, kill him on this
00:13:14He'll just drop him over there for the six
00:13:16Well, it's a free shot to put him by the six
00:13:19Because the seven, two, and nine balls
00:13:21Will stop the one ball
00:13:22Right, he'll knock it right down there by them
00:13:30Oh
00:13:31He's lucky to go that way
00:13:32Well, he got a snooker
00:13:33He'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
00:13:44Either side of the one he hits, he's got action
00:13:47He's gonna go to the end rail because he kind of tied the one up
00:13:52I mean the two up rather
00:13:57He's got lucky
00:14:00He'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
00:14:13Medyo alam nga na niya yun ang posisyon nitong object ball nila
00:14:17Dahil nakadikit dito sa isang bola nang sa 8
00:14:19Kaya walang possible packet ito
00:14:22Pwedeng mag counter safety dito si Reyes, si Striklan
00:14:26He should be behind the six if he hits at the right speed and if not, he leaves it pretty
00:14:33tough anyway
00:14:35That's on
00:14:38Boy, I don't know great. I don't know how to shoot this shot
00:14:44That's what I meant. Yeah, that's a good shot. That's what I meant. It looked pretty good. Sure
00:14:55Well, you just got a one-rail kick here. I 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
00:15:04Right. Touch. Maybe a touch. That's all you got to do is touch it.
00:15:13Well, he tried to go three rails.
00:15:17You know what I think he tried to do, Grady? I think he tried to hit at one rail.
00:15:21Okay. And it was high ball and 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. You know, so that angle would have been true.
00:15:34You understand what I'm saying? Sure, sure.
00:15:37Now, there's a number of ways to play this. He can go one rail into the nine ball, one rail
00:15:42into the two ball, two rails into the two ball.
00:15:44Or do this and play safe.
00:15:46Well, I think the nine was deader in George Washington at the side. He didn't even look at that.
00:15:50I don't know what he did here. He 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.
00:16:03He can or he wouldn't have done this.
00:16:04He's banking the ball. He's shooting to make it.
00:16:09He's shooting to make it.
00:16:09Okay. That's a good shot.
00:16:10At 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.
00:16:23Tignan natin kung paano diskartiyan ni Reyes ito. Panuorin natin mga kabilyard.
00:16:29And into it that way. I think it's an easier hit. Better chance to win.
00:16:34I hate, I hate having to go above the four and short.
00:16:40See, he went actually went too short.
00:16:45This is your own hand that was also what I said tonight.
00:16:48Mr. Reyes is on two.
00:16:51Being 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, one or two.
00:17:16Just like that, good shot.
00:17:20Low left English, you 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 nakabolinhan advantage, merong malaking chance talaga na marun out yung table dahil napakaganda nung kalat ng bola
00:17:51at maganda yung layout ng table.
00:17:53So dito, mapapansin natin talagang mabilisan si Strickland.
00:17:59Pasok yan.
00:17:593-1 ang score, no?
00:18:01Lamang na lamang dyan si Strickland.
00:18:02Kaya, siya pa rin ang magbe-break sa rock number five.
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, but I don't think that that's the right shot.
00:18:33No, I don't either.
00:18:34He's right there.
00:18:35He's right there.
00:18:36Exactly.
00:18:36This 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, you can just draw this back and towards the four ball,
00:18:57you'll have the right angle.
00:18:58It looks like it will.
00:19:02Just like this.
00:19:03Now, you can come across one natural rail for 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, or two rails to the right
00:19:23side of the eight, like 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 yung pinapakita niyang cue ball control and positioning, no?
00:19:38Eksaktong eksakto kung nasaan yun sa kanyang object ball.
00:19:43May kikita natin dito na sa last three balls na lang si Reyes at may chance na marun out niya
00:19:49ito at 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 balls 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.
00:20:14Three itong score natin.
00:20:15Lamang pa rin si Strickland ng isang puntos.
00:20:18Pero si Reyes naman ang magbe-break dito sa rock number six.
00:20:21Kaya sundan natin mga kabilyad.
00:20:23Is he 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 gonna make a ball.
00:20:36Now, if he doesn't get straight in, he's got action here.
00:20:39But he got straightish.
00:20:45Earl is at a 9.23 pace.
00:20:47Ray is 9, or excuse me, 7.92.
00:20:50And that's mostly because of a couple of bad kick shots.
00:20:52Now, buddy, this is rough here.
00:20:54He's really gotta spin this.
00:20:55He's gotta spin it a lot.
00:20:56I'm not sure.
00:20:57I'm not sure I wouldn't go real first with like a just above center ball.
00:21:02Awful small pockets here.
00:21:04Okay.
00:21:05Alright.
00:21:05Well, maybe he can get beyond the 8 here.
00:21:07We'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 real 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 three, it's gonna be a long one.
00:21:31It's gonna 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 real first and make it.
00:21:41See, he 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 five if he hits it easy, but I'm not so sure I wouldn't
00:21:57just
00:21:57go to make this.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59It is a pretty good clip, and there's an excellent chance he'll have a good shot with
00:22:04the five ball.
00:22:05I believe he's gonna sense the three, I don't think.
00:22:08Exactly.
00:22:08He's gonna just make the three.
00:22:14I didn't think he was gonna roll it.
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 three ball.
00:22:24Dribbling that ball long distance in battle conditions is usually bad news.
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:30Now, one rail underneath the seven.
00:22:32Like 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
00:22:48number 6.
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 two ball na lang si Reyes, tutok pa itong cue ball para sa 8.
00:23:05Napakahusay at magaling yung pinapakitang tira dito ni Reyes.
00:23:08At 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 three ang score natin mga kabilyard.
00:23:27At ganun pa man, si Reyes pa rin ang magbe-break sa rack number 7.
00:23:31Kaya panoorin pa rin natin.
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, all other things
00:23:48being equal.
00:23:49I believe if you crack the balls a little harder than your opponent with accuracy that good results will occur.
00:23:54Meanwhile, this doesn't go anywhere, does it? Does it go on the side?
00:23:57No, that can go straight in.
00:23:57Oh, okay. Well, he's in business then. He can just roll this straight forward.
00:24:03Good shot. Now a little inside English and lay the cue ball over about the right-hand side pocket.
00:24:15Like this. Good shot.
00:24:20Now you can just stop the ball or draw it back a little bit.
00:24:30No problem here. Just roll it forward here.
00:24:34It don't take him long, does it?
00:24:36No, it sure doesn't.
00:24:38Oh, they had one match in this tournament that lasted for three hours.
00:24:43Personally, I think we need to take steps to address that sort of situation.
00:24:47That's ridiculous. Three hours for a race to 11, which it was.
00:24:54Just draw it back past 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.
00:25:08I don't know.
00:25:09He just went a little farther than he meant to.
00:25:12Yeah, he got hit it left-handed I think though.
00:25:21Good shot.
00:25:22And Earl Strickland goes ahead four games to three.
00:25:29At dyan nga mukhang nakaabanti pa rin itong si Strickland no.
00:25:334-3 ang score natin mga kabilyard.
00:25:35Lamang dyan si Strickland at siya pa rin ang magbe-break dito sa rock number 8.
00:25:40Medyo maganda yung pinapakita ni Strickland dito pero hindi naman lumalayo itong si Reyes.
00:25:45At dito mukhang may chance na tumira ulit si Strickland at 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.
00:26:23That'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 kicking that.
00:26:49He got kicking that on you.
00:26:53At dyan nga sobrang lupit at sobrang galing nung uh...
00:26:57uh...
00:26:57uh... three rail kick shot ni Efren Reyes na yun no.
00:27:00Uh... walang masabi dyan si Strickland.
00:27:03Dahil talagang tinira ni Efren yun hindi yan fluke or uh...
00:27:07anumang klaseng tsamba.
00:27:09Intentional shot yun mga kabilyard.
00:27:11O ganun kahusay sa mga kick shot itong si Efren Reyes.
00:27:14At dito nga dahil dyan nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataon ngayon na magkaroon ng play safe.
00:27:18At dito binawian ni Reyes ng isang play safe si Strickland.
00:27:22Eh sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:27:24Well I might shoot at this.
00:27:25He has room to go rail first.
00:27:28Yeah.
00:27:30He's probably not going to have a position on a 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 in that fashion.
00:27:51That's a pretty good shot right there.
00:27:52Well that's a loss there.
00:27:53He'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 anglers?
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.
00:28:14Right.
00:28:15Just 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.
00:28:26He can hit it.
00:28:27Well if he can hit it.
00:28:28I 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.
00:28:44I may be wrong but I believe he can hit it.
00:28:46Okay.
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.
00:28:55You're right.
00:28:56The 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 and gently.
00:29:04Or he was able to go.
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 angles 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.
00:29:36Well there have been a lot of times in our joint careers where we have been the most surprised people
00:29:41at the place.
00:29:41Yeah.
00:29:42Like 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.
00:29:57A little too firm.
00:29:58You gotta be careful still buddy.
00:29:59At dito nga mukhang nakabawi ng tira itong si Strickland.
00:30:03At may chance siya ngayon umuvertake pa ng dalawang puntos no.
00:30:074-3 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 10 ay itong 9 sa corner pocket.
00:30:17Pasok yung 9 na yan.
00:30:195-3 ang score natin dyan mga kabiliard.
00:30:21Mukhang nakalamang 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 kaya foul yan.
00:30:37Volley na an advantage kay Reyes.
00:30:39Very disappointed dito si Strickland.
00:30:42Tingnan 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.
00:30:53Exactly.
00:30:53Try to get straight in on me.
00:30:55Exactly.
00:30:55Try to get straight in on me.
00:30:55I can just reach my arm over the table on me.
00:31:00The three balls 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 left hand side pocket.
00:31:21All he's gotta do is draw this back.
00:31:33Gotta 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 gonna look and see.
00:31:39Right.
00:31:39Is that comfortable to get on the five ball with?
00:31:41And I believe it is.
00:31:43Right.
00:31:54Now this is worth taking a second look at.
00:31:56The last thing in the world you wanna do is end up with a tough shot to get on the
00:31:59five.
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:15Now he just float down to the end 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.
00:32:27See, I didn't like his positioning because he had hit that ball so thin, you know.
00:32:31Of course, you know, with the angle and everything, he's gonna get out, but still.
00:32:36He could've made it easier is your point.
00:32:39Right.
00:32:39A lot easier.
00:32:42He'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.
00:32:59Just as good.
00:33:00Low left English.
00:33:01He'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.
00:33:155-3 ang score lamang si Striklan ng dalawang puntos.
00:33:17Pero si Reyes ito mukhang avanti rin ng isang puntos siyan.
00:33:21Ayan, pasok yung 9, 5-4 ang score natin.
00:33:24Lamang pa rin si Striklan.
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.
00:33:39At kalaban niya dito yung kanyang pinakamortal na karibal sa larangan ng pool and billiard.
00:33:45Walang iba kung hindi si Earl Striklan.
00:33:48Dito nga mukhang nauungusan ni Striklan si Reyes.
00:33:52Pero tingnan natin kung paano makahabol itong si Efren Reyes.
00:33:57Si Reyes ngayon ang magbe-break dito sa rock number 10.
00:34:00Kaya sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:34:02Well, he hit him a little harder.
00:34:04That's better, that's better.
00:34:05Hit him a little harder, but that side over there's not worth a quarter to break the balls
00:34:08from him anyway.
00:34:10No, he has not made a ball.
00:34:12Earl tried it one time.
00:34:14He seen that right away.
00:34:18Well, I don't like giving it more than once or twice, boy.
00:34:22Boy, you're right about that.
00:34:26This is 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, short two rails, out of this lower right-hand
00:34:49corner.
00:34:52Okay, well, he, boy, that was a little risky, buddy, wasn't it?
00:34:57Yeah, it was a lot risky.
00:35:00Yeah.
00:35:01I don't know.
00:35:01I'm surprised 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
00:35:22ball position dito sa next object ball niya.
00:35:24Mahusay 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.
00:35:38At dito, may chance na maka-run out si Strickland sa rock number 10. Sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:35:54I go below the 8 here, I don't try to pull it above the 8.
00:35:58You can just punch it out one way.
00:36:00Right, right.
00:36:01I don't know if you've got that much angle.
00:36:03Yeah, 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 gonna go ahead 6 games to 4.
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?
00:36:43Race 29 lang ito, mga kabilyard.
00:36:46At dito nga, nagahabol pa itong si Efren Reyes.
00:36:50Walang buwalang pumasok, kaya back to table si Reyes.
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 riding.
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 feather this ball.
00:37:15Just bunt it.
00:37:16Bump it out.
00:37:18Now, he can't go two rails, even though that's an easy hit,
00:37:21because the one ball figures to hit the five.
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 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.
00:38:24There are a lot of things he can do here.
00:38:26He can park him behind the five.
00:38:27He can thin it, cutting it to his right, which is what it looks like he's going to do.
00:38:32Like this.
00:38:43Well, 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 masseing 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-rail kick.
00:38:59Okay.
00:39:01He's looking at it now.
00:39:07I prefer hitting here and here with English.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:12Well, he's really got it loaded 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 got to draw it in order to hit it full.
00:39:33Now, he's got some options here, buddy.
00:39:35So, he can come in here to the end rail and go two rails off the ball or one rail
00:39:41into it and what speed he hits it and how thick he hits the two-ball determine what direction the
00:39:46cue ball 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.
00:39:52And 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 closer to the seven, six, and the four as he can
00:40:00and it'll bank the two.
00:40:00If he hits it one rail, it'll bank the two up away 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.
00:40:22It travels a lot slower than if he hits the ball going in.
00:40:25He hit a rail then?
00:40:25Yeah, he hit the ball going in.
00:40:28The cue ball wouldn't travel nearly that fast if he hadn't.
00:40:35It's academic anyway.
00:40:39At ito nga mukhang nakalusot na si Strickland at may chance siya ngayon na ma-run out itong rock number
00:40:4411 na 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.
00:41:12I've seen none of the other players draw and shoot.
00:41:14What do you do? I'd be interested to learn something.
00:41:16I draw this ball to here and back over here.
00:41:19Oh yeah, I show guys that sometime in an exhibition they don't realize you can do that.
00:41:26I draw it below the side and then back above the side.
00:41:29Yeah, that's a nice shot.
00:41:30Yeah.
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.
00:41:47I would have probably put that particular shot right then I would 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.
00:42:03So,
00:42:04I'm going to have a lot of times that shot.
00:42:04So,
00:42:05Ito nga last ball na lang si Strickland sa rock number 11.
00:42:08Mukhang nga abanti ng isang punto si Strickland dito.
00:42:11So,
00:42:11So,
00:42:11yung 9 na yan,
00:42:127-4, no.
00:42:13Lamang na ng tatlo.
00:42:14Itong si Strickland.
00:42:16Talagang pinahirapan niya itong si Efren Reyes.
00:42:18Last two rocks na lang itong si Strickland at pwede nang manalo dito sa championship match na ito.
00:42:25Pool masters, no.
00:42:26Yung labanan na ito.
00:42:27Kaya,
00:42:28makikita natin talagang mahusay yung pinapakita doon ni Strickland.
00:42:32Pero dito sa rock number 12,
00:42:34mukhang 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 wanna have to hit the six
00:42:49when 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.
00:43:03Well, 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, you 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 gotta hit it that hard.
00:43:21Well, let's see what he does here.
00:43:23I don't know, he'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's gonna run into it.
00:43:38Now, there's a shot where you can go three rails.
00:43:40I'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 to 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.
00:44:13Yeah.
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.
00:44:49No, he can't.
00:44:50You gotta get out.
00:45:01I can't stand it that 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 gonna 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 no.
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.
00:45:43Seven-five.
00:45:44Lamang na lang ng dalawang puntos si Strickland.
00:45:48At 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 gano'ng kagaling si Reyes sa mga ganitong sitwasyon.
00:46:00He can't go forward much here.
00:46:02There's all kinds of stuff in the way.
00:46:05If he draws the ball and comes over here some kind of way, I might come over here and all
00:46:09the way back over here.
00:46:11He can play at two rails and try to go up between the six and eight.
00:46:14All right.
00:46:18I 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 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.
00:46:45Great.
00:46:47I 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.
00:47:05Uh-huh.
00:47:05If you can shoot it in that pocket, then it'll go.
00:47:07Right.
00:47:13Well, well, Ephraim may face the same dilemma.
00:47:18Well, yeah, 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...
00:47:30combination.
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:31You're right.
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:32He definitely don't want to do that.
00:47:37My 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.
00:47:55But he's okay here.
00:47:58But he's okay here.
00:48:09He's okay here.
00:48:10He'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, here come up one, Rayo.
00:48:19At doon sa pagkakamali ni Stricklan 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 Stricklan, no?
00:48:31Naganda yung layout ng table at may chance na marun out niya para makahabol dito si Efren Reyes.
00:48:37At ito nga, panoorin natin kung paano niya i-clean up ito.
00:49:19At dyan nga tulad sa inaasahan natin mga kabilyard, tutok na yung 9.
00:49:23At ito, paunti-unting humahabol si Reyes.
00:49:267-5 ang score.
00:49:28May lamang si Stricklan dyan.
00:49:30Pero ito, humahabol si Reyes.
00:49:346-7, no?
00:49:36Lamang pa rin ang isang punto si Stricklan.
00:49:39May pumasok sa side packet yung 1.
00:49:41At dito, may available shot sa 2.
00:49:43God bless.
00:49:447-5.
00:49:454 off of the 7 ball, or the combination, or you can do it with the 5 ball, but I
00:49:53believe
00:49:53it's easier with the 4 ball.
00:49:58He missed it, oh.
00:50:00Well I want to go get a little cue.
00:50:01Thought he'd get...
00:50:02He's traded cues.
00:50:04He's changed cues.
00:50:06He's playing...
00:50:07He played dish out with a break cue.
00:50:08I've done that.
00:50:09I've got a breakthrough that I like and it plays similar to my playing.
00:50:14I've done that quite a few times.
00:50:16At ito nga mga kabilyard, mapapansin natin na medyo may dalawang cluster, yung 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.
00:50:34I don't know that it even matters.
00:50:36You remember when we used to all kid him because he had like a $7 cue when he came over
00:50:41here and he played with that thing for like five years?
00:50:43That one he's got there. It cost $12.
00:50:46$12?
00:50:46$12. The one that's leaning him against his keys over there.
00:50:55It's a Filipino cue. It cost $12.
00:50:58Well, meanwhile, he's gotten out of line here. This 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.
00:51:13Uh-oh.
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'll 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.
00:52:42At doon nga, mukhang na napahirapan itong si Strickland.
00:52:46Mahirap yung position ngayon para kay Reyes.
00:52:49Konting pagkakamali dito, talagang ma-e-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 they're hitting it that thin, he'll be all right.
00:53:11If he could hit it that thin.
00:53:12He's shooting at this pocket over here.
00:53:14Well, I like shooting at it in the pocket by the night ball.
00:53:17Yeah.
00:53:20Got to 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 seven's frozen on the other lip of the pocket now.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:38That's a very thin cut.
00:53:39Ganun pa man.
00:53:41Sa sobrang hirap ng tira na yun.
00:53:42Pero napina pa rin ni Reyes.
00:53:44Napaka lupit 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 na 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 para sa rock na ito.
00:54:35Pasok yung 9.
00:54:36All seven 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 pocketing skills nitong si Strickland.
00:54:49931 kumpara dito sa 830 ni Efren Reyes.
00:54:53Ito nga mukhang sumabsad pa yung bola dito.
00:54:57At kailangan magbang shot pa nitong si Efren Reyes.
00:55:01Medyo natuwa siya dito pero tingnan natin kung makuha niyang ibang shot itong uno.
00:55:07Ganun pa man, hindi yan pumasok.
00:55:09Open na open kay Strickland.
00:55:33I caught the three ball, but he's going to have a shot.
00:55:36Yeah, he's okay.
00:55:38He's all right.
00:55:40Whew.
00:55:42Well, do you draw this down to the end rail and back up?
00:55:45Do you try to risk hitting the five?
00:55:47He can't roll this.
00:55:49He's got seven shots.
00:55:50Here, you get it.
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.
00:56:08That's what I thought.
00:56:09It's the high side of the five.
00:56:10Nice shot, Earl.
00:56:17Well, he can do whatever he wants as regards to getting on the six from this angle.
00:56:21I like playing it for the corner.
00:56:24There's a touch of left English.
00:56:27Back line.
00:56:28He'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.
00:56:46That is pretty much a shoot stop if I see it again.
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.
00:57:13Kaya tingnan natin kung makabawi pa dito si Efren Reyes.
00:57:18Ayan na.
00:57:19Eight 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 bank this cross corner.
00:58:07At dyan nga, dry break, no?
00:58:09At mahirap pa itong posisyon ng cue ball para sa uno.
00:58:12Tingnan natin yung discarding ni Reyes dito
00:58:14at kailangan niyang makapuntos
00:58:17dahil nga last rock na lang dito si Ars Strickland.
00:58:21Bankshot ang ginawa ni Reyes.
00:58:23Muntik pang hindi pumasok.
00:58:25Medyo makapal yun.
00:58:26Ganun pa man.
00:58:27Naipasok pa rin ni Reyes doon sa corner packet
00:58:29at available yung dos, no?
00:58:31Tingnan natin kung maka-run out ng si Reyes dito
00:58:33at tumabla tayo.
00:58:35Magkaroon tayo ng heel-to-heel match.
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 at the corner, you mean?
00:59:13Right.
00:59:13Yeah.
00:59:14Well, he's going to have to play the six on the other side now.
00:59:17It's harder to get the right angle.
00:59:19I would rather play for the three-rail angle here.
00:59:23I just play the five and play the cue ball straight across,
00:59:26close to the three, the six.
00:59:27So when they shoot the six on the side, they come around three rails.
00:59:32Okay.
00:59:33You see what I'm saying?
00:59:34Well, I think he's going to play this for the corner.
00:59:36The six ball, I mean.
00:59:37Let's see.
00:59:40No, he didn't.
00:59:42Well, he...
00:59:42That'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,
00:59:51he's going to have to play this in the corner.
00:59:53That's the wrong angle.
00:59:55Yep.
00:59:59Well, he's going to have to play this in the corner
01:00:02and go three rails or with low writing 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, if he...
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 combos goes, 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.
01:00:39Especially in the heat of the back.
01:00:40So,
01:00:41Sa pagkakataon na ito, mukhang kailangan i-combination ni Reyes, no?
01:00:45At yun nga,
01:00:46na-combine niya yung 7 at saka 8.
01:00:49Napakahirap nung ginagawa na yun ni Reyes.
01:00:51Talagang very precise pa rin yung tira ni Reyes dito, no?
01:00:55At ito nga,
01:00:56tutok na yung 9.
01:00:58At mukhang magkakaroon tayo ng heel-to-heel match dito.
01:01:01Napakaganda nung labanan na ito.
01:01:02Dalawang nimesis sa kanilang mga panahon.
01:01:06At ito,
01:01:07pareho na ang score natin.
01:01:09Lamang na ngayon si Reyes ng break, no?
01:01:12At dito siya ang magbe-break sa final rock.
01:01:15Heel-to-heel match tayo mga kabilyard.
01:01:28Well, buddy, he made a ball on the break but he snuckered.
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.
01:01:53I 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...
01:02:02I'd play this like a one-pocket shot if he tells me...
01:02:05Medyo masaklap yung break doon ni Reyes
01:02:08at dito nga mukhang napagbigyan pa itong si Strickland, 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 Strickland kay Efren Reyes
01:02:31itong push ni Reyes, no?
01:02:33Dahil nga, hindi maganda yung tira doon.
01:02:36Pero ganun pa man,
01:02:37lalo pang pinahirapan ni Efren Reyes
01:02:39itong si Strickland sa tira na yan.
01:02:42Oh, he kind of took a...
01:02:46Oh, he 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.
01:02:57Maybe I can go...
01:02:59Earl might have a shot here.
01:03:09Come down through here with a whole lot of spin.
01:03:12Just missing the five.
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, 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 Strickland doon, no?
01:03:36Na 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, no?
01:03:47Yung shade, ah, 4 ba yun?
01:03:49Pero tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan niya ni Strickland.
01:04:01Oh, it went.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:03Well, he got tough here.
01:04:04He's going to 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.
01:04:29Exactly.
01:04:29I'm all 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 Strickland, 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 Strickland.
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.
01:05:26Do 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?
01:05:33I don't know.
01:05:34Just however you feel, however it looks there.
01:05:38You don't do that?
01:05:40Oh, look at this and he got...
01:05:44He got position as you're about as good as you can get.
01:05:50Oh, man.
01:05:51At just a position na yan, mga kabilyard.
01:05:54Medyo alanganin talaga yan.
01:05:55Pero tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan ni Reyes
01:05:58itong 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,
01:06:09100% si Strickland ang mananalo.
01:06:12Kaya no choice si Reyes dito,
01:06:14kundi niya maipasok ito.
01:06:15At dito nga,
01:06:17solid na solid.
01:06:18Pasok yung six.
01:06:19At ito, may chance na si Reyes ngayon
01:06:21para manalo dito sa rock na ito.
01:06:27There's no way in the world he's drawn this,
01:06:29I don't think.
01:06:32I might be wrong.
01:06:38That's what I thought.
01:06:41Boy, I'm saying he's got every wrong world,
01:06:44hasn't he?
01:06:45So far.
01:06:50Ayan, napangiti na si Reyes.
01:06:52At alam na di,
01:06:52sabi nga ng mga pool master,
01:06:54medyo malakas pa ng konti.
01:06:56At ito,
01:06:57si Hakto na yan.
01:06:59Last rock,
01:07:00last ball si Reyes.
01:07:02Thank you guys for watching.
01:07:03See you on my next video.
01:07:04Yeah.
