00:00:00Because he doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all.
00:00:07Oh, the seven.
00:00:08Yeah, the seven goes in the other corner.
00:00:10Oh, wait a second.
00:00:11He was playing shape to shoot the seven in the side.
00:00:14He didn't get there.
00:00:17Boy, this match has had more twists and turns in it.
00:00:20You know what?
00:00:21The seven ball bank.
00:00:22It's a bit worse.
00:00:23The race's shot of that one is a bit worse.
00:00:25For the side pocket, I hope the seven.
00:00:28Pero dahil dyan, mukhang decide na itong si Reyes na ipapasok dito sa corner pocket
00:00:34at magkakaroon siya ng double bank shot.
00:00:36Panuori natin mga kabilyar.
00:00:38Nani?
00:00:45The eight in the corner.
00:00:48Here I come.
00:00:50We call it two rails.
00:00:53He called that shot.
00:00:57Magandang morning mga kaibigan, mga kabilyard.
00:01:00Welcome to Efren Reyes' reaction and commentary videos.
00:01:03For today's reaction video, ito, panuori natin isa pang napakagandang hill-to-hill match
00:01:09between dito sa napakagaling na pool master na si Efren Bata Reyes
00:01:14versus kay Dennis Hatz.
00:01:16Ito yung isa sa mga pool guru na nakalaban ni Efren Reyes.
00:01:21At ito nga, ginanap ang laban na ito noong 2018.
00:01:25Ito yung West State Tour 10 Ball Championship.
00:01:28Nasa final match na sila dito mga kabilyard, no?
00:01:30At dito nga, naglalaro sila sa 10 ball game, race to 9 match
00:01:34with the winner's break format.
00:01:36Yan yung kanilang breaking format na napili.
00:01:40Makikita natin dito, nanalo sa lag itong si Efren Reyes
00:01:45pero nag-break, walang bola na pumasok.
00:01:47Kaya back to table itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:01:51At dito nga, pwedeng manalo ng 30,000 US Dollars ang magja-champion.
00:01:56At makikita natin dito, itong si Dennis Hatz ay isa rin sa pinakamagagaling
00:02:00na pool master ng US, no?
00:02:03So, panuori natin mga kabilyard, maganda itong laban na ito.
00:02:07At makikita natin yung parehong pool master na maglalaban dito sa 30,000 US Dollars gas price.
00:02:47At dito nga, mukhang may scratch pa itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:02:51Pasok yung cue ball.
00:02:53Foul yan.
00:02:54Kaya, ball in hand advantage dito kay Efren Bata Reyes.
00:02:58So, makikita natin dito, meron pang natitirang anim na bola.
00:03:01At ball in hand advantage, no?
00:03:03Kalat yung itong mga bola sa table.
00:03:07Maganda yung layout.
00:03:08May chance na maka-run out si Reyes dito at maka-first blood dito sa kanilang laban, no?
00:03:31Oscar and Max also in the match.
00:03:36Oh, Oscar drew Max Eberle?
00:03:39Yup, that's right.
00:03:40Boy, you know, this is an open draw.
00:03:42For the people that don't know, this is an open draw.
00:03:44None of these players are seeded.
00:03:45So that means anybody can play anybody.
00:03:48And consequently, you have match-ups like this in the first round.
00:03:53The shame is that one of these great players is going to be on a loser side after one round.
00:03:58I think we've got a...
00:04:271-0 guys, panoorin natin.
00:04:30I see Rodney Morris is playing Corey Harper on the next table back.
00:04:35So, there's some pretty strong first round match-ups here.
00:04:39I don't recognize the gentleman playing Francisco though, do you?
00:04:44Let me see if I can get a look at him.
00:04:46Oh yeah, that's...
00:04:50That's Gerardo Gimito from Fresno.
00:04:52A very good Filipino player.
00:04:54Aha.
00:04:58He actually won the Suwannee tournament once.
00:05:03When it was down in San Diego.
00:05:10Another one.
00:05:12Well, he didn't scratch that time.
00:05:14And dodged a bullet there.
00:05:23Wow, what a privilege, Jay, that you're here so early.
00:05:25I'm used to seeing you for the final matches.
00:05:30Well, I didn't want to miss this one.
00:05:32I didn't want to miss this one.
00:05:36And you know that you met some of the people from the TV crew that's here shooting for the documentary.
00:05:42And they asked me to be here in case they want to do some interviews or something like that.
00:05:47Awesome.
00:05:47Excellent.
00:05:50So, you're going to have to deal with me all three days.
00:05:55Tough life.
00:05:56I'll suffer it.
00:05:58I'll suffer it.
00:05:58I'll suffer through it.
00:05:59Yeah.
00:06:03Oscar wins one game one over there.
00:06:09Well, it looks like this might have a little problem here with the six ball.
00:06:15Does the six pass the ten?
00:06:17That's the question.
00:06:18I think it does.
00:06:25Let's see what he does.
00:06:27Let's see how he gets position on the six ball.
00:06:33Well, he might get too close to his ball.
00:06:35He just rolled up against us.
00:06:40Yeah.
00:06:42Well, he's looking at it like it would have passed.
00:06:45He just rolled too far.
00:06:47Well, he's going to play.
00:06:48Yeah, he'd like to put the cue ball behind that ten.
00:06:51He did successfully.
00:06:53Of course, you're looking at probably the best kick shot shooter that ever lived right here.
00:06:59Efren's looking at it like he can see the edge of the six ball.
00:07:02At ito nga mukhang alanganin yung position nitong sa ace.
00:07:06Tingnan natin kung mapasok yan ni Efren Reyes.
00:07:09Nag-play safe muna siya.
00:07:11At dito mukhang itinago niya sa likuran ng 8.
00:07:14Napakaganda nung play safe na yun ni Reyes.
00:07:16Tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan nito ni Hatz.
00:07:19At makapag-counter siya.
00:07:21Panuori natin mga kabilyard.
00:07:23A rare talent.
00:07:25Well, see, Dennis wanted to put the cue ball behind the eight.
00:07:28But he was unsuccessful.
00:07:30We've got a nice little safety battle going, though, here.
00:07:33There's no pocket for the six, so Efren's going to have to play another safety.
00:07:37He's waiting for Corey Harper to break.
00:07:48Safety battle.
00:07:50Very simple little safety there.
00:07:52He took the obvious shot.
00:07:54Now, Dennis can kick and hit this six ball.
00:07:56The problem is when he hits it, where's the cue ball going to end up?
00:08:06Well, he gave up a shot there from there.
00:08:09He just couldn't hide the cue ball.
00:08:11At dito nga, mukhang bumigay na sa trap ni Efren Reyes, no?
00:08:14Sa mga play safe ni Reyes.
00:08:16Itong si Hatz.
00:08:17At ngayon, open table na ito.
00:08:18Maganda rin yung layout.
00:08:20Mukhang may chance na marun out na naman ni Reyes itong rack number two.
00:08:24Pasok yung sa ace at maganda ang ball position niya dito sa siete.
00:08:27So, panuwa rin natin niyan, mga kabilyard.
00:08:30I've been around this game 50 years, and I haven't seen anyone any better.
00:08:39Ooh.
00:08:41Efren that ball.
00:08:42You called it just right.
00:08:43Efren that ball.
00:08:46His left, Dennis, all straight on the set.
00:08:49It's a little off angle.
00:08:51You gotta be so careful about trying to jam balls in these diamond pockets
00:08:55because they'll reject the ball.
00:08:56Look at this.
00:08:57Look at this.
00:08:58Dennis made a good shot, but he drawed the...
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:00He is having a rough morning right now.
00:09:12Efren's got the luxury of ball in hand with three balls on the table.
00:09:16I don't think it's going to be a problem for him.
00:09:19Efren is...
00:09:21He's either 59 or 60 now.
00:09:24He's 59.
00:09:25Maybe our audience can help us there in the chat.
00:09:27At dito nga, medyo magandang maganda yung position nitong cue ball
00:09:31para sa side packet at konting push lang ito.
00:09:35Papasok yan at nakaposition na kaagad itong cue ball
00:09:38dito sa ball number 10 sa corner packet.
00:09:41At dito nga, mukhang makaka-2-0 itong si Efren Reyes.
00:09:45Papasok yung Jez.
00:09:472-0 ang score natin dyan, mga kabilyard.
00:09:49At dito, balik sa table si Reyes para sa rock number 3.
00:09:52Siya ang magbe-break.
00:09:53Tingnan natin kung makapasok siya dito.
00:09:56Mukhang alanganin na naman yung break na yan ni Reyes.
00:09:59Dry break yan.
00:10:00Kaya, back to table itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:10:03At sundan natin, mga kabilyard.
00:10:05Looks like Efren's got the breakdown, but he did come up dry on this particular one.
00:10:10Let's see if Dennis can kind of get unlimbered here and run a rack.
00:10:15You know, it's always a great feeling to run that first rack.
00:10:22The balls are all out in the open, Daniel.
00:10:24Nothing's tied up here.
00:10:28He's just got a main...
00:10:29Not the added benefit of, uh, you know, the low balls in the sequence being at the top end of
00:10:35the table with the higher balls at the bottom end of the table.
00:10:38You're...
00:10:39Ooh.
00:10:39Oh, man.
00:10:43Dennis is not, uh, you know, I talked to him yesterday, too.
00:10:46He said he was going to bed early.
00:10:48He's, you know, wants to be rested and ready for this event.
00:10:53And, uh, he's still looking a little bleary-eyed.
00:11:00See how tight...
00:11:01You see these...
00:11:01You think these pockets are big.
00:11:05I'm going to see.
00:11:06Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:11:08Ha, ha, ha.
00:11:10He was...
00:11:11He was thanking the pool gods there.
00:11:18See these diamond tables?
00:11:20These pockets are deceiving.
00:11:21You think they're big, but, boy, if you hit that rail, the ball won't go in.
00:11:25It'll get rejected.
00:11:30This is a testy little box right here.
00:11:34Well, Dennis is even a little out of line here.
00:11:37He's just got to stun back and forth.
00:11:40He's...
00:11:40He missed it.
00:11:41He's...
00:11:42He tried to throw that in.
00:11:43He tried to throw it in with Ryan English, but it just didn't take.
00:11:46Yeah, he was trying because he wanted to hold up the field ball.
00:11:49Well, these guys are struggling, but, you know, Daniel, it's the first match of the day.
00:11:53It's early.
00:12:09This is really tight.
00:12:11At dito nga, mukhang nakukuha na naman ni Reyes yung kanyang momentum sa rock number 3, no?
00:12:165 volts na lang yung remaining at maganda ang layout ng table.
00:12:20Aiming sa 6 si Reyes ngayon at maganda pa ang ball position para sa 7.
00:12:25Mukhang may chance na marunout nga ni Reyes ito at umabanti pa ng isang puntos, no?
00:12:292-0 ang score natin dito, mga kabilyard.
00:12:31At dito, pasok pa rin yung 7.
00:12:33At last 3 balls si Reyes dito sa rock number 3.
00:12:38Working his way through the remaining balls of this rack.
00:12:42I don't see any problems here.
00:12:49He is starting to get loose.
00:12:59At dyan nga, tulad sa inaasahan natin, mukhang makaka 3 points ka agad si Reyes dito.
00:13:043-0 score natin, mga kabilyard.
00:13:06At dito, makikita natin na sa 0 pa rin ang score ni Hatz.
00:13:11At si Reyes ang magbe-brake sa rock number 4.
00:13:14Dennis Arculio is playing now.
00:13:17I see Ernesto playing.
00:13:19Boy, scratch on the break.
00:13:24Is there any way we keep that up?
00:13:28Raspberry.
00:13:33Well, once again, Dennis starts with an open rack, ball in hand.
00:13:47Daniel, he needs this rack band.
00:13:52This is like...
00:13:55At dito nga, mga kabilyard, mukhang nakakuha ng momentum itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:14:00At makikita natin dito, maganda yung ball position niya.
00:14:04At maganda rin yung kalat ng bola.
00:14:08Meron siya si Hatz dito na pumuntos.
00:14:10Kaya sundan natin, mga kabilyard.
00:14:13Two different times, I think, down over five games.
00:14:16And come back to go hill-hill.
00:14:20You got that all on tape, right?
00:14:22That was a great match.
00:14:23That one.
00:14:31Well, Dennis looks like he's gonna get on the board.
00:14:34Barring any sudden mishaps.
00:14:39Pasok yung 9.
00:14:40Magandang posisyon sa Jess.
00:14:41Ito, mukhang pupuntos na dito si Dennis Hatz para mahabol niya yung 3-0.
00:14:46Aiming sa Jess.
00:14:47Pasok yan.
00:14:483-1 ang score natin ngayon, mga kabilyard.
00:14:50Kaya, makikita natin dito, talagang lumahabol pa rin itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:14:54Breaking siya dyan sa rack number five.
00:14:57May pumasok na bola.
00:14:58Tingnan natin kung maka-break and run siya dito sa rack number five.
00:15:02Sundan natin, mga kabilyard.
00:15:08He's got a little bit of a tricky shot here.
00:15:11Oh, no, no.
00:15:11He's got the one.
00:15:12I didn't see it.
00:15:13I was blocked on that.
00:15:14If he can get on the two, he's in pretty good shape.
00:15:16Let's see.
00:15:18The two will pass the nine ball.
00:15:21It's kind of, I don't think he's got a full pocket.
00:15:34Daniel, the five's going to be even tougher.
00:15:36It is definitely blocked partially by the nine.
00:15:41That's why he's walking around here and taking a close, he's taking a real close look at it.
00:15:45Kneeling down to see how much room he's got.
00:15:57He wiggled that one in.
00:16:01Well, he did something good there.
00:16:03He got close to the five ball, but he's shooting that five ball at about a half a pocket.
00:16:10Even from this close, this shot can be missed.
00:16:14He's also looking about where is the cue ball going to go.
00:16:18He doesn't really want to run into that seven ball.
00:16:25Well, he did.
00:16:26He did.
00:16:27He used the seven ball to his advantage there.
00:16:39Uh-oh, where's the cue ball going?
00:16:41Oh, this can't scratch.
00:16:43This ball can't scratch.
00:16:46Uh-oh.
00:16:46He's treetopped over the nine ball.
00:16:51He's going to have a problem with the eight next.
00:16:53He's going to have a long shot on this eight.
00:16:55Well, he got out.
00:16:56At diyan niya, sa tira na yan sa 7, mukhang nakabalik sa momentum itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:17:01No, may tatlong bola na lang siyang natitira dyan sa rock number five na yan.
00:17:05At makikita natin yung posisyon ng 8.
00:17:08Medyo alanganin yan mga kabilyar, no.
00:17:10Hindi madali yan.
00:17:11Pero makita natin yung posisyon naman ng 9.
00:17:15Kung pumasok ng 8 na ito, automatic yan.
00:17:17Makukuha niya itong rock number five.
00:17:19Kaya tina natin kung magawa niya ng paraan yan.
00:17:27Isn't this called the poison shot, Jay?
00:17:34The cue ball comes off the rail and scratches in the opposite corner.
00:17:39Yeah, but I think he can duck that here.
00:17:41A little bit of inside English.
00:17:42Just like that.
00:17:43So he went down below.
00:17:48Oh, he came out.
00:17:51At dito nga, medyo alanganin yung posisyon ng cue ball.
00:17:53Nakaparalel dito sa ball number 10, no.
00:17:56Pero kailangan pa rin pinahin dito ni Hatz ito para pumuntos ng isa pa.
00:18:01At dito nga, naipasok ni Hatz yan.
00:18:033-2 score natin mga kabilyard.
00:18:05At mukhang maganda yung labanan natin dito, no.
00:18:08Umahabol itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:18:10Dito sa rock number five,
00:18:11Andin dyan naman si Dennis Hatz para mag-break.
00:18:15At makikita natin talagang nasa magandang ball position naman yung tira dito ni Dennis Hatz.
00:18:22Kaya makikita natin yung husay at galing, no, nitong kalaban ni Efren Bata Reyes na yan.
00:18:28So sundan pa rin natin mga kabilyard.
00:18:30Ito ang Mesquise West Estate 10 Ball Championship.
00:18:36At dito nga, nag-break itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:18:38Tingnan natin kung maka-break and run siya dito sa rock number six.
00:18:42Sondan natin mga kabilyard.
00:18:44Find out how you can sign up, enter, and follow the events that are happening all across the west coast
00:18:50of California.
00:18:51And an additional event happening in Phoenix at Bullshooters.
00:18:57Oscar is also one of the eight members of the Moscone Cup team that will represent the USA against Team
00:19:04Europe in December all the way over in Blackpool, England.
00:19:09Absolutely right.
00:19:11Oscar is having a good year so far.
00:19:14He's really beginning to shine.
00:19:17Well, that safety didn't work.
00:19:19Efren wanted to hide Dennis behind the seven.
00:19:21And as you can see, Dennis can see the one, but I think Dennis will be playing safe as well.
00:19:28Let's see how this safety battle comes out.
00:19:36Wow, he shot.
00:19:37I'm surprised.
00:19:38Boy, that was a nice shot.
00:19:40I thought he was playing safe, but he rolled that one in the side.
00:19:45He's got to be pretty confident to shoot that shot.
00:19:48Does he have a line of sight on a pocket though for this two-ball?
00:19:54I'm not so sure.
00:19:55Side pocket.
00:19:56Again.
00:19:56Yeah.
00:19:57Another tough shot.
00:20:03Oh, wow.
00:20:04Uh-oh.
00:20:06At dito nga, medyo alanganin yung position ng cue ball dito sa object ball ni Hatz.
00:20:11Mukhang i-kick shot niya itong object dito sa side pocket.
00:20:16Tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan niya ni Dennis Hatz.
00:20:18Sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:20:20He'd like to kick the three in the same side pocket, but the chances of that are actually pretty remote.
00:20:39Medyo na-open yung object ball.
00:20:41Itong tres dito sa kick shot ni Dennis Hatz.
00:20:47At dito, babalik sa table si Reyes.
00:20:50Mukhang may chance si Reyes dito, mga kabilyard.
00:20:52Ito, naipasok niya yung tres.
00:20:54At lumalapit doon sa cuatro.
00:20:57Pwede ang position na ito para makaposition sa next object ball.
00:21:01I'm a little bit blocked on the bottom end of the table.
00:21:03I didn't see that four, so he's all right here.
00:21:06He's got a good angle.
00:21:08He's going to come two rails out of the corner.
00:21:10He just wants to make sure the cue ball does not run into the eight.
00:21:13If the cue ball runs into the eight, he will not get position.
00:21:18Pretty good stretching for a nearly 60-year-old man.
00:21:24That was good.
00:21:25He avoided the eight ball.
00:21:27Now he's in good shape.
00:21:32Okay.
00:21:51Dito nga mukhang nakuha na ni Reyes yung kanyang momentum, no?
00:21:55Maganda ang layout ng table at may chance na marun out.
00:21:583-2 ang score natin.
00:22:00Mukhang may chance si Reyes na makaabanti pa ng isang puntos.
00:22:15Once again, pretty tough first round matchup here.
00:22:19Two of the best players in the tournament.
00:22:22And one of them is going to have the very unenviable taste.
00:22:26Aiming si Reyes dito sa ball number 10.
00:22:29At makita natin, pasok yan.
00:22:314-2 score natin dyan, no?
00:22:33Lamang si Reyes.
00:22:33Race 29 lang ito, mga kabilyard.
00:22:35Most of the time, yung ganitong mga laban ay maganda
00:22:39dahil nga halos balikatan yung laban dyan.
00:22:42Mapapansin natin, maganda rin yung break dito, no?
00:22:45Tingnan natin kung makabalik sa table itong si Dennis Hatz.
00:22:51Yeah, I know who he is.
00:22:53They're all playing in this tournament?
00:22:54Yes.
00:22:55Oh my god.
00:22:56Hey, you guys are in for a treat because these guys rarely come to the United States.
00:23:00They're four of the best players in the world.
00:23:02These are like former world champions, current world champions.
00:23:10This field just got a little bit stronger by a power of 10.
00:23:15It just got a little bit more fun.
00:23:17Yeah.
00:23:24You know, it's really an indication of the state of professional pool on the planet that
00:23:31these guys have to travel far to get in tournaments.
00:23:34Obviously from here, they're all going to Las Vegas.
00:23:37There's invitational tournaments over there for the pro players starting next week.
00:23:42Well, they economize, you know.
00:23:45They make sure they can parlay a few different events back to back when they're traveling.
00:23:51Well, if you're flying from the Pacific Rim like Asia or Philippines, you're going to
00:23:58fly into Los Angeles anyway.
00:23:59And this is a hallowed pool room all over the world.
00:24:03There's no place like Hard Times.
00:24:04So the opportunity to play here is very valuable to all these good players.
00:24:12Meanwhile, Efren got very close to his work here.
00:24:15But he's got the right angle.
00:24:16He can make the five ball.
00:24:20At ito nga, mukhang hindi napagbibigyan ni Reyes itong si Dennis Hatz dito sa kanyang
00:24:26break at end run sa rock number seven.
00:24:31Then, last four ball si Reyes at maganda yung position nitong cue ball para sa ball number eight.
00:24:38Sundan natin mga kabilyard.
00:24:39It looks pretty good here.
00:24:42He might have to play to just feather off the nine and develop it a little bit.
00:24:49Nope.
00:24:50He decides to force out.
00:24:54Play the nine in the bottom left corner pocket.
00:25:07He was flirting with that side pocket there.
00:25:10If he hits the point there, the cue ball is going to come back up table.
00:25:14Meanwhile, he's got a little bit of a...
00:25:16Aiming si Reyes ngayon sa last ball sa rock number seven.
00:25:19Mukhang makaka-run out nga si Reyes dito.
00:25:22Pasok yung 10.
00:25:23Maganda yung break and run Reyes dyan.
00:25:24Five-tone score natin mga kabilyard, no?
00:25:27Halfway na itong si Reyes sa kanilang laban.
00:25:29At dito mukhang namimiligro pa itong si Dennis Hatz dito sa kanyang two points.
00:25:35Kaya sundan natin kung makahabol dito si Dennis Hatz.
00:25:38Panoorin natin mga kabilyard.
00:25:42On Francisco Bustamante's table, I see a score of three to two.
00:25:49You got better eyes than me.
00:25:50Looks like boosties ahead.
00:25:53Corey Harper and Rodney.
00:25:59Looks like two to two.
00:26:04Heffern Reyes.
00:26:05He made the nine.
00:26:11I'm not sure how much that one ball he can see.
00:26:18Well, yeah, he's leaning down to look to see if he's got enough, if he can see the edge of
00:26:22the one to make it.
00:26:30He couldn't.
00:26:31He played safe.
00:26:33And it looks like a relatively good safety.
00:26:35I think Dennis is gonna have to kick off the end rail.
00:26:38At dyan nga, maganda yung pagkaka-play safe ni Reyes.
00:26:42At kailangan ang mag-kick shot dito ni Dennis Hatz para patamaan niya itong uno.
00:26:47At medyo alanganin yan kung na-open yan, pwedeng maka-run out na naman si Reyes.
00:26:53Dito nga, two real kick shot ang ginawa ni Dennis.
00:26:56Tinamaan niya.
00:26:57Unfortunately, mukhang na-open dito sa side pocket itong ball number one.
00:27:01So, easy pocket ito para sa uno.
00:27:03Tingnan natin kung makaposition siya sa dos.
00:27:19Can he see the two?
00:27:22Oh, yeah.
00:27:23I mean, the pocket?
00:27:26He's shooting at it like it does.
00:27:35Efren can expand his lead here.
00:27:44I'm gonna go eat.
00:28:00They're probably playing like two LOS.
00:28:02would make sense to me.
00:28:05Race to nine.
00:28:07Because these matches, a lot of these matches
00:28:09are going to take close to two hours.
00:28:11Some of them are going to take an hour, an hour and a half.
00:28:14I'd say the average
00:28:15is about an hour and a half for a race to nine,
00:28:17ten minutes.
00:28:24My friend's
00:28:25very quickly warmed up.
00:28:27Yeah, he's cruising right now.
00:28:29He's feeling loose, definitely.
00:28:33At dito nga, hindi pwedeng
00:28:35pagbigyan talaga si Reyes sa mga ganong
00:28:37klaseng ball position. Kaya
00:28:38nakukuha ni Reyes yung momentum niya
00:28:41dahil nga sa kanyang mga
00:28:43play safe at na-open naman
00:28:45ng kalaban. Yan ang strategy ni Reyes
00:28:47sa kanyang mga laro. At
00:28:49dito makikita natin mga kabilyar, last
00:28:51two ball na lang si Reyes.
00:28:53Mukhang aabanti pa ng isang punto si Reyes
00:28:55dito sa rock number eight. Pasok
00:28:57yung ball number eight na yan at
00:28:59last ball dito sa ball number
00:29:01ten para umabanti ng isang
00:29:03pangpuntos si Reyes.
00:29:05At dito nga, pumasok yung
00:29:06Jess. Six to nine score natin mga
00:29:09kabilyard, no? At makita natin yung
00:29:11husay at ganda ng pagkakatira
00:29:13doon ni Reyes.
00:29:14Mukhang ito, may chance
00:29:16ngayon si
00:29:18Dennis Hatz na
00:29:19makapuntos dahil nga, tutok na itong
00:29:22ball number ten dito sa corner
00:29:23packet. Available yung shot niya
00:29:25doon sa uno at pwede niyang
00:29:27i-combination nito later on.
00:29:29So sundan natin kung magawa ng
00:29:31paraan niya ni Dennis Hatz.
00:29:32Yes.
00:29:33Okay.
00:29:38First of all, do you want to commentate
00:29:39next night?
00:29:41Second of all,
00:29:42do you actually find out if
00:29:44the
00:29:46does the ten count on the
00:29:47break?
00:29:49Or if it counts on the break?
00:29:51Or does it spot up?
00:29:58At dito nga, napakaganda
00:30:00nung posisyon ng cue ball sa
00:30:01dos, no? Combination nyan, two to
00:30:03ten, alam na this. At yun nga,
00:30:05naipasok ni Dennis Hatz, panalo
00:30:07siya dyan. Six to three score
00:30:08natin mga kabilyard. At dito,
00:30:10bibreak si Dennis sa
00:30:12rough number ten.
00:30:14Maganda ang break niya, malakas.
00:30:15Tingnan natin kung may pumasok.
00:30:17Yun nga, may pumasok doon sa
00:30:18corner packet. Kaya sa table
00:30:20pa rin itong si Dennis. Sundan
00:30:21natin mga kabilyard.
00:30:23Look at this one ball.
00:30:27He always has the option to
00:30:29push out after the break.
00:30:32Which, what he might be doing
00:30:34here. It's a beautiful
00:30:35pattern. It looks like some
00:30:36sort of a practice drill was
00:30:38laid out.
00:30:44Well, the first practice he's
00:30:46going to have to have is, where
00:30:47do I push out to? Yeah, he
00:30:49called a push. Just going to
00:30:50roll it down to the end
00:30:51rail.
00:30:54And I'm going to tell you
00:30:55something, Daniel. If
00:30:56Efren can see this one ball, he
00:30:57will probably do something with
00:30:59it, whether it's shoot at it or
00:31:01play safe.
00:31:05At dito nga, nag-push itong si
00:31:07Dennis. Available yung tira ni
00:31:09Reyes doon sa uno, no?
00:31:11Sa corner packet. Pwede rin sa
00:31:13side packet. Tingnan natin kung
00:31:14anong discarding ni Reyes dito.
00:31:16Sundan natin at panoorin mga
00:31:18kabinyard.
00:31:19So, he'll have to put something
00:31:23on the cue ball in order to do
00:31:25that.
00:31:30He's jacked up a little.
00:31:35She goes in beautiful.
00:31:36Wow!
00:31:37Wow!
00:31:38Even Dennis acknowledged that shot.
00:31:41Napakahusay nung cueing doon ni Reyes, no?
00:31:43Nakapag-backspin shot na ipasok niya
00:31:45yung uno sa corner packet dahil
00:31:47dyan. Nagkaroon ng available shot
00:31:49itong si Reyes dito sa dos.
00:31:50At dito, pumuposition siya
00:31:52ngayon para sa quatro.
00:31:53Mukhang, alam na di, sabi nga, no?
00:31:55Kalat ang bola.
00:31:57Magandang layout ng table.
00:31:59Positioning si Reyes dito.
00:32:01Tingnan natin kung marunot niya
00:32:02yung rack number 10.
00:32:07I'll tell you what,
00:32:08Efren showed a world-class
00:32:10shooting ability on that
00:32:12opening one ball.
00:32:20Can he complete this rack?
00:32:39Efren's looking pretty good.
00:32:43Not bad for a guy that just came off the plane
00:32:46late last night.
00:32:48From the Philippines.
00:32:49Yeah, he and Francisco and Dennis Orcullio
00:32:51were all on the same flight.
00:33:05Pasok yung 8, mga kabilyard, no?
00:33:07Alam na di, sabi nga natin,
00:33:08talagang mukhang isang pagkakamali lang
00:33:10doon ni Dennis Hatz sa kanyang push
00:33:12na run out na ni Reyes
00:33:14itong rack number 10.
00:33:16Meron talagang pagkakalagyan
00:33:18kapag binigyan mo ng kahit konting puwang
00:33:21itong si Reyes.
00:33:22At may chance siya ngayon
00:33:23na ubusin itong bola, no?
00:33:26Para sa rack number 10.
00:33:28Pasok yung Jess.
00:33:297-3 score natin.
00:33:30Lamang ng apat na punto si Reyes.
00:33:33Siya ang nag-break dito
00:33:34sa rack number 11.
00:33:35Tingnan natin kung may papasok na bola.
00:33:38At dyan sa break na yan ni Reyes
00:33:39medyo masamaan ng konti, no?
00:33:41Kaya back to table si Dennis Hatz.
00:33:44Max and Oscar are probably
00:33:47the two most methodical players
00:33:49in this whole field.
00:33:50That was very well put.
00:33:52Methodical.
00:34:01Well, Dennis
00:34:03failed to play good position
00:34:05on the two ball.
00:34:06I think he's got a kick at it.
00:34:11Oh, he played a bank.
00:34:12He played a bank.
00:34:13He called the corner
00:34:13and it go...
00:34:16Wow!
00:34:17Pretty nice little shot.
00:34:19Yeah, pretty nice little shot there.
00:34:22You know, he's kind of
00:34:23in desperation mode.
00:34:25So, he's just gonna go
00:34:27for anything right now.
00:34:29Yeah, truth to be told.
00:34:33The pressure...
00:34:34You know, when you're...
00:34:34Daniel, when you're buried
00:34:36in a match like this,
00:34:37there's no more pressure.
00:34:40You can kind of
00:34:41just free wheel it.
00:34:42He's pulling off
00:34:43what you call
00:34:44the woo-ee shots, you know.
00:34:46Woo-ee.
00:34:47But eventually,
00:34:48the woo-ee runs out, you know.
00:34:51Nice big draw stroke there.
00:35:07Well, he didn't want
00:35:08to get jacked up
00:35:09over the ten ball
00:35:10and he is a little bit.
00:35:12His bridging is...
00:35:13He's got a little problem
00:35:14bridging here
00:35:15and then getting
00:35:16position on the seven.
00:35:18See how...
00:35:19See how much
00:35:20he's got to elevate...
00:35:21Aiming sa 6,
00:35:22medyo alanganin yung
00:35:23position na yun,
00:35:23mga kabilyard.
00:35:24At ito nga,
00:35:25manipis ang tira na yan
00:35:26ni Dennis Hatz, no?
00:35:27Ganun pa man,
00:35:28medyo maganda pa rin
00:35:29dahil naka-cover yung 7
00:35:31sa likuran ng 6.
00:35:33At dito,
00:35:33tingnan natin si Reyes
00:35:34kung ma-bank set niya ito
00:35:36para dyan sa tira na yan
00:35:38or mag-play safe siya.
00:35:40Dito nga,
00:35:41mukhang nag-play safe lang
00:35:42si Reyes
00:35:42at gustong itago
00:35:43sa likuran ng 9.
00:35:44Hindi nangyari yan.
00:35:45Kaya ito,
00:35:46si Dennis Hatz ngayon
00:35:48ang magbabank naman
00:35:49sa side pocket.
00:35:51Dennis is banking
00:35:52this ball cross side.
00:35:54Let's see.
00:35:56Swish.
00:35:57Woo-wee.
00:35:58Swish.
00:36:00Like I said,
00:36:01there ain't no pressure now.
00:36:02Just get up there
00:36:02and shoot.
00:36:06Matagumpay
00:36:06yung bank set doon
00:36:07ni Dennis Hatz, no?
00:36:09At aiming siya ngayon
00:36:10sa 7.
00:36:10Medyo kailanganin pa
00:36:11niyang pinahin nito.
00:36:13Pero,
00:36:14mahihirapan siya
00:36:14dahil mukhang
00:36:15pwede pang
00:36:16may scratch dito
00:36:17si Dennis.
00:36:18Tingnan natin
00:36:18kung hindi siya
00:36:19may scratch dyan.
00:36:20Mukhang alanganin
00:36:21yung kanyang tira.
00:36:22At mahihirapan siya
00:36:24sa
00:36:25pagpektos, no?
00:36:26Dahil nga itong
00:36:27cue ball
00:36:27ay nasa kaddikit
00:36:28ng
00:36:29side rails.
00:36:30At dito,
00:36:31tingnan natin
00:36:31kung magawa niya
00:36:32na paraan yan.
00:36:34At yun nga,
00:36:34mukhang
00:36:35muntik pang
00:36:36may scratch.
00:36:36Pero ganun paman,
00:36:38naipasok yan
00:36:39ni Dennis Hatz
00:36:40at aiming siya
00:36:41dito sa
00:36:41three ball.
00:37:05Last ball si Dennis
00:37:06sa rock number 11.
00:37:07Mukhang nga
00:37:08abad din
00:37:08ng isang puntos.
00:37:09Pasok yung Jess.
00:37:107-4 score natin,
00:37:12lamang pa rin
00:37:12si Reyes ng tatlo.
00:37:14Si Dennis Hatz
00:37:15ang magbe-break
00:37:15sa rock 12.
00:37:17What he just said
00:37:19was,
00:37:20I don't feel too bad.
00:37:21I haven't hit balls
00:37:22in two months.
00:37:22I feel pretty good.
00:37:24He just hit one
00:37:25off the table here.
00:37:26Once again,
00:37:27Efren will start
00:37:28with ball in hand.
00:37:29What was that,
00:37:30Dennis?
00:37:30What did you say?
00:37:38Like I said,
00:37:39if you want to make
00:37:40a comeback,
00:37:40you got to break good,
00:37:41and that ain't it.
00:37:46And the way Efren's
00:37:47playing right now,
00:37:48I fully expect to see
00:37:49him run out again.
00:37:56I don't know why
00:37:57Efren shrugged his
00:37:58shoulders there,
00:37:58like the five doesn't
00:38:00go past the eight?
00:38:00I'm not sure.
00:38:01It looks like it'll pass.
00:38:07Maybe he was just
00:38:08flexing his muscles.
00:38:16You got a million of them,
00:38:18Jay.
00:38:29You know,
00:38:30Daniel,
00:38:31I think Efren gets
00:38:31inspired when he sees
00:38:32a field full of good
00:38:33players.
00:38:34It's still a challenge
00:38:36to him after all
00:38:37these years.
00:38:39The beauty of pool
00:38:40is you have to prove
00:38:41yourself over and
00:38:42over again.
00:38:44It doesn't matter
00:38:45how great you are.
00:38:46The only thing that
00:38:47matters is how great
00:38:48are you right now.
00:38:49That's it.
00:39:08Diyan nga sa Rock 12 na yan
00:39:10Makita natin talagang yung momentum ni Reyes
00:39:13Tuloy-tuloy
00:39:13Aiming siya dito sa ball number 9
00:39:16Last two balls siya sa Rock 12
00:39:17Tingnan natin kung abanti pa ng isang punto si Reyes dito
00:39:21At alam naman natin
00:39:22Easy pocket na lang itong Jess na ito mga kabilyard
00:39:25Mukhang kalahati ang magiging tambak dito ni Reyes
00:39:28Dino kay Dennis Hatz
00:39:3030,000 US dollars ang pwedeng mapanalunan dito mga kabilyard
00:39:33Pasok yan at 8-4 score natin
00:39:36Mukhang nakakalyamado na dito si Reyes
00:39:41At siya pang magbe-break sa Rock number 13
00:39:44Maganda yung pagkaka-break na yan ni Reyes
00:39:46Tingnan natin kung may papasok
00:39:49Medyo masama at yung humahabol
00:39:51Hindi pumasok din
00:39:53Kaya back to table itong si Dennis Hatz
00:39:56With the ball in hand advantage
00:39:58Dahil na-scratch nga itong uno
00:40:00Tingnan natin baka mag-play safe ulit si Dennis dito
00:40:04Para sa foul
00:40:05At makuha ni Dennis
00:40:07At manalo siya sa table
00:40:10By a foul decision
00:40:11Ito nga itinago niya no
00:40:13Sa likuran ng dos yung uno
00:40:16Tingnan natin kung makik-shot yan ni Reyes
00:40:18No matter where you put him he finds a way to hit the ball
00:40:30Very nice hit
00:40:32You know that was a very hard ball to hit
00:40:34When you're kicking off a rail like that so close to it and the ball's out in the middle of
00:40:39the table
00:40:40It's a small ball
00:40:42It's kind of like a short hopper in baseball
00:40:44Yeah
00:40:46Well Dennis tried to play a combination on the nine
00:40:50And he missed it
00:40:51He didn't give up much to Efren here
00:40:56Efren can actually make it
00:40:58Dennis just looked over and let us know that
00:41:00I saw that too
00:41:03Now this is a tough shot
00:41:04He's going to have to use the bridge
00:41:07And it's a thin hit
00:41:17I think Efren was playing that safety all the way
00:41:20Kicking
00:41:25Dennis just called the corner
00:41:31He asked if he could make him shoot again after he missed
00:41:34But no
00:41:34No, no, no
00:41:35That's always
00:41:36You know that's been a misunderstood rule
00:41:38About the international ten ball rules
00:41:41I've noticed
00:41:49Nice shot there by Dennis
00:41:50That was a nice shot
00:41:51Considering I thought he was actually hooked
00:41:56My personal feeling, Daniel
00:41:57Is there's no reason ten balls shouldn't be played
00:42:00With the same rules we play nine ball with
00:42:03All the way
00:42:04I mean even winning on the break
00:42:07It's actually harder to make the ten ball on the break
00:42:10Than it is the nine ball
00:42:11Including luck counts
00:42:13Everything
00:42:14Everything
00:42:15Same rules
00:42:16Why not
00:42:17No question about it
00:42:18You add that one extra ball
00:42:20And it's a harder game
00:42:29Jay, you like to open all the cans of worms, don't you?
00:42:32Never been afraid
00:42:35You know, I do know
00:42:36I happen to know Oscar Dominguez would disagree with that
00:42:39He
00:42:39He
00:42:40He is many
00:42:41As well as a few other pros
00:42:43All agree
00:42:44Well
00:42:46Agree
00:42:46That the ten ball rules
00:42:49Are really
00:42:51Specific to the pros
00:42:52You know
00:42:53The call pocket format especially
00:42:55Oh, a lot of
00:42:56A lot of the pros
00:42:56The better players
00:42:57They like it
00:42:58Because it gives them more of an advantage
00:43:00Spoken to Tang Ho about it
00:43:02Raj Hundal about it
00:43:07Well
00:43:07I
00:43:08My opinion differs
00:43:09I'm more of a promoter
00:43:10And I say
00:43:10I know that it's exciting for the audience
00:43:12When they see a player luck a bow in
00:43:14Meanwhile
00:43:14Dennis is in big trouble right here
00:43:18Well
00:43:18The good news is he hit it
00:43:20The bad news
00:43:22I'm not so sure
00:43:23I'm not so sure this five goes past the nine though
00:43:26He made it funny
00:43:27That's more good news
00:43:31Efren might be playing the nine ball
00:43:34Yeah, no
00:43:35Look at that
00:43:37Look at that
00:43:37He passed it, didn't he?
00:43:38He tried to cheat that diamond pocket
00:43:41Efren looks up at the pool gods
00:43:42And says
00:43:43Why me?
00:43:44They said
00:43:45Because you're Efren
00:43:53Dennis got
00:43:55A real good break there
00:43:57Just to come back to the table
00:44:04Wow
00:44:05He almost lost the cue ball
00:44:13They're waiting
00:44:14They're waiting
00:44:14Corey Harper
00:44:15Shooting the ten ball
00:44:16From down table
00:44:17Didn't even come close
00:44:23Well
00:44:23It's not an easy shot
00:44:24When you've got to shoot
00:44:25With the cue ball
00:44:26On the rail like this
00:44:32She goes
00:44:33She goes
00:44:33And it looks like good speed
00:44:34Yeah
00:44:35You can shoot the seven
00:44:36On the side
00:44:48Dennis is now
00:44:49Now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada
00:44:51Originally from Buffalo, New York
00:44:57The all-time champion of the Joss New England Tour
00:45:02He's won something like 30 events on that tour in the last seven years
00:45:07Pasok ang Jess
00:45:088-5 ang score natin
00:45:09Numahabol itong si Dennis Hatz
00:45:11Mukha talagang may chance na magkaroon tayo ng heel-to-heel match dito mga kabilyard
00:45:17Nasa last rock na si Reyes
00:45:19At nasa top of the hill na siya
00:45:218-5
00:45:22At umahabol itong si Dennis Hatz
00:45:24Tingnan natin kung makahabol siya dito
00:45:26At magkaroon tayo ng heel-to-heel match
00:45:278-5 also means
00:45:30You're still in the match
00:45:34Absolutely
00:45:37He's got to find a way to make that break work for him though
00:45:45Dennis really spending time on this rack
00:45:49Making sure
00:45:51The one ball is frozen
00:45:53To the top two balls
00:46:03Get ready for a big break
00:46:05From the big D
00:46:20Came up empty
00:46:25But that two ball is in a bad spot here
00:46:27Tied up
00:46:29Against the eight
00:46:34Efren would really have to thread the needle
00:46:36To get position on this two
00:46:39That's what he's trying to do
00:46:42Oh my god
00:46:44He scratched in the side from an impossible angle
00:46:51Efren's just shrugging his shoulders
00:46:52He can't believe he scratched
00:46:53That's where he wanted to play position
00:46:56Where Dennis just placed the cue ball
00:46:58Efren wanted to be there
00:47:00To shoot this two ball on the side
00:47:03Now Dennis will probably go forward
00:47:05And play a 3-10 combination next
00:47:09At dito sa pangatlong pagkakataon
00:47:12Mukhang may chance na may combination ni Dennis
00:47:14Itong 3-10 combination sa corner pocket
00:47:17Tingnan natin kung magawa niya yan
00:47:19Para umabanti ng isang puntos
00:47:20Pasok yung Jess
00:47:22At yan nga panalo si Dennis
00:47:238-6
00:47:24Mga kabilyard no
00:47:25Humahabol itong si Hatz
00:47:27Siya ang magbe-break dito sa rock
00:47:29Number 15
00:47:39Well
00:47:39He made a ball
00:47:41He didn't scratch
00:47:42But
00:47:46He's got a long shot on the one here
00:47:48And the two is out
00:47:49And he opened
00:47:55Oh he rattled
00:47:56Boy he just wobbled that one ball in
00:48:03Well it went in
00:48:04But it wiped its feet on the way
00:48:07And that's for sure
00:48:08After this two ball
00:48:09The remaining seven balls
00:48:11Are all down table together
00:48:13They're closely clustered
00:48:15On the bottom half of the table there
00:48:25Don't see a lot of problems here
00:48:26But he's just got to be careful
00:48:28Not to get on the wrong side
00:48:29Of any of his shots
00:48:31He wants to stay close to the object balls
00:48:33He doesn't want to have any long shots now
00:48:41Just that maybe the five to the six ball
00:48:44Could get a little tricky
00:48:45And that's what he's looking at right now
00:48:48Well he's going to have
00:48:50A couple pockets for the six ball
00:48:52After he gets the four out of the way
00:49:02Don't go behind the seven
00:49:04Don't go behind
00:49:05He did it
00:49:06He did it
00:49:06He over hit that ball
00:49:08He got himself hooked behind the seven
00:49:10That was a careless error right there
00:49:13No he's visibly upset
00:49:17Well I can understand why
00:49:18He may be able to go rail first
00:49:21And try to make this ball
00:49:27Now he's
00:49:30He's looking to see if the six
00:49:32He's calling
00:49:33He's calling the five
00:49:34I'm not sure if he's shooting at her
00:49:36If he's going rail first
00:49:37Let's see
00:49:39Yeah
00:49:40He did
00:49:40He's going rail first
00:49:41And he's
00:49:42He's perfect for the side pocket
00:49:43He can see the ball
00:49:45So all that
00:49:46All that
00:49:48All that
00:49:49All that drama
00:49:49Yeah
00:49:50All that drama
00:49:51Mukhang maganda yung break and run dito ni Dennis Hatz
00:49:54No
00:49:54At may chance siya ngayon na
00:49:57Makahabol pa ng isang puntos
00:49:588-6 ang score
00:49:59Lamang ng dalawa na lang si Reyes
00:50:01Nasa top of dahil na si Reyes dyan
00:50:03No
00:50:03At tumahabol itong si Dennis Hatz dito kay Reyes
00:50:06At dito mukhang may chance tayo na magkaroon ng balikatan
00:50:10At aiming siya sa last ball sa Rock 15
00:50:15Pasok yung just
00:50:168-7 ang score natin
00:50:17Isang puntos na lang
00:50:18Makakatabla na si Dennis
00:50:19Tingnan natin kung magawa niya ng paraan yan
00:50:21You stay tuned in the
00:50:24First match of the day between Efren Reyes
00:50:27Wow, what a beautiful break by Dennis Hatz
00:50:32Well, Dennis
00:50:34Stomps his foot on the ground
00:50:35Because the last ball rolling
00:50:36The five ball
00:50:37Hooked him on the one
00:50:38Which is always the case, is it not?
00:50:41Why is it?
00:50:42Why is that?
00:50:43Why is that?
00:50:44Always the last ball
00:50:45Yeah
00:50:46Dennis says the same
00:50:47Dennis says, yeah, right
00:50:47Came up and said the same thing to us
00:50:49It's always the last ball
00:50:51He's probably going to push out here
00:50:54Maybe send the cue ball down table
00:50:56Leave some distance
00:51:00Efren sitting in his chair stoically
00:51:05Inwardly
00:51:05Thanking his lucky stars
00:51:09Because this was a good break
00:51:11Look at the ball
00:51:12It's all spread out
00:51:20Push out
00:51:20He tied up the four ball
00:51:24Efren will probably try to play some kind of safe off the one
00:51:27I don't think he
00:51:27Oh, he's letting Dennis come back to the table
00:51:30I think he's doing that because the four is tied up
00:51:53Back to table si Reyes
00:51:55At tingnan natin kung may pasok niya itong uno
00:51:59At matapos niya na itong match na ito
00:52:02Pero nahihirapan nga dito si Reyes
00:52:04Dahil mukhang nakukuha ni Hatch yung kanyang momentum
00:52:08Sa rock by rock
00:52:10Dito
00:52:11Naypasok ni Reyes yung ball number one
00:52:14At may magandang tira naman dito sa tres
00:52:17Tingnan natin kung marun out na ni Reyes ito
00:52:20Break up the four
00:52:22This is the key shot of the match right here
00:52:27Yeah, he did get a great angle on this
00:52:32Well, the four got a little funny
00:52:33The four bounced out too far
00:52:36Now Efren might play a thin safety off the four
00:52:39And try to make the ten at the same time
00:52:42Don't be surprised
00:52:45This is the magician
00:52:46He comes up with a lot of tricks
00:52:52It's hard to see from where we're at
00:52:54But
00:52:56I can tell the gears are turning in his head
00:52:58Yeah, he's calling the ten ball
00:53:02This is for the match
00:53:04Very tough billiard here
00:53:06Real thin hit off the four
00:53:09Oh, it looks like he's playing the combo
00:53:11Oh, he did play the combo
00:53:13He played the combo
00:53:14He missed it
00:53:16But I think he tied Dennis up
00:53:20Now here's a situation where Dennis
00:53:22Must hit the four ball
00:53:23He cannot afford to give Efren ball in hand
00:53:26With that four ten sitting like this
00:53:29I think so
00:53:30Yeah, yeah
00:53:32He's going to pull a jump cue out
00:53:33Dennis asking about the jump cue
00:53:35He may even play the four ten combination here
00:53:43My jump cue's in my car
00:53:46Nope
00:53:52Somebody give that man another case
00:53:57He's calling the ten ball
00:53:59What he'd like to do is come off the edge of the four
00:54:02And play a billiard into the ten
00:54:03The important thing is
00:54:05He needs to hit the four first
00:54:08He's jumping over the six ball
00:54:15This guy's so big and strong
00:54:17He could jump that cue ball over the moon
00:54:21Oh, he's looking at the combination
00:54:26Well, he hit it
00:54:36Well, he did go airborne
00:54:38Four ball
00:54:41Is going to be open for Efren
00:54:46And it looks like a good opportunity to just close this out
00:54:50Got a little tricky opening shot here, Daniel
00:54:52But if he can get to make this four and get position on the five
00:54:57He can win the match
00:55:04Well, he got a little funny on the five ball here
00:55:06This is not what he wanted to do
00:55:06He did get on the 50 hard line, didn't he?
00:55:08Yeah
00:55:11He could bank the five cross side
00:55:13But I suspect he may opt for a safety instead
00:55:17Because if you try to bank this ball and miss
00:55:19You basically give up the game
00:55:27Well, you know
00:55:28She goes down the rail to the corner pocket there
00:55:32And he could play this in such a way
00:55:35Not like a two-way shot
00:55:37At dyan nga sa cinco
00:55:38Medyo alanganin, no?
00:55:39Mahaba yung papasukan
00:55:40At kailangan niya makuha ng ball position dito sa seis
00:55:43So, tingnan natin kung mapina ni Reyes ito
00:55:46At makakuha siya ng magandang position sa seis
00:55:49Para dyan sa rock number 16
00:55:51Last rock na si Reyes dito, mga kabilyard
00:56:00At dun nga, medyo makapal yung tira ni Reyes
00:56:03Hindi pumasok
00:56:03May chance naman ngayon na ma-steel ni Hatz itong rock number 16
00:56:08Sundan natin, mga kabilyard
00:56:09Will the five pass the ten? That's the question
00:56:13Oh, yeah, I think it absolutely
00:56:15Well, if it'll pass the ten, he can make it
00:56:19I think it does
00:56:25Yeah, he's got a
00:56:26It doesn't look like it does
00:56:28But I think it does
00:56:29He's got a tight fit
00:56:31He's got a tight fit getting the cue ball past the nine
00:56:33And he's also got a tight shot making the five past the ten
00:56:37Yeah, he's going to have to put a little spin, a little swerve
00:56:39He actually did hit the ten on the way in
00:56:43Ah, boy
00:56:44No, no more
00:56:46He just looks up and says
00:56:47Are you kidding me?
00:56:49At the last minute, the seven ball rolled down and blocked the six
00:56:54That was
00:56:55That was a horrible roll
00:56:57I have to admit that
00:56:58After he made that good shot
00:57:00But the important thing
00:57:02You've got to remember
00:57:03Dennis is still at the table
00:57:05He's still in control
00:57:07He's just got to think
00:57:09What can he do here in this spot?
00:57:11That's what he's got going for him right now
00:57:13But he still came
00:57:14And when he passed the booth here
00:57:17He looked over and said
00:57:18Only me
00:57:21I got news for you
00:57:22It ain't only you
00:57:24Listen, Daniel
00:57:25The great players
00:57:26Even in a bad situation like this
00:57:28They find the best thing to do
00:57:33That's what sets them apart, Jay
00:57:34Yeah
00:57:35He's got to come up with a good safety here
00:57:37There's no pocket
00:57:38He's got to come up with a good safety
00:57:42This is where you really
00:57:44Dig deep in your knowledge of pool
00:57:57What will Dennis Hatch do here?
00:58:00He knows the match is on the line
00:58:02He cannot give Efren an open shot
00:58:04I think the most important thing here
00:58:06Is he's got to make sure to leave distance
00:58:08Between these two balls
00:58:18I think he's going to thin this
00:58:20And come
00:58:22Oh no
00:58:23He did absolutely nothing that I was going to get
00:58:26Well he wanted to get the cue ball
00:58:28Behind the seven
00:58:29And it just didn't get there
00:58:33That was
00:58:33We called it a horrible call
00:58:35Dennis
00:58:36I mean a horrible roll
00:58:40I thought he was going to
00:58:41Try to do the same shot
00:58:42But leave the cue behind the nine
00:58:48Efren can smell the prize here
00:58:50Or at least
00:58:52The way forward
00:58:54Well
00:58:55Dennis got buried in the match
00:58:57He made a great comeback
00:58:58And then
00:58:59Thanks to that bad roll on the seven ball
00:59:03It looks like Efren
00:59:05Can take this match right now
00:59:12I'll tell you
00:59:13He didn't get the best spot on this nine ball
00:59:15He's got to come with a good shot
00:59:18Last two ball na lang
00:59:20Dito si Reyes
00:59:20No
00:59:21May chance na manalo na si Reyes
00:59:22Dito
00:59:22Medyo alanganin lang
00:59:23Yung position nitong
00:59:25Nuebe
00:59:26Tingnan natin
00:59:26Kung magawa ng paraan yan
00:59:27Makapal yung tira ni Reyes
00:59:29Nag-alanganin siya
00:59:30Doon sa side pocket
00:59:32No
00:59:32Dito may chance na may steal
00:59:34Ni Hatz
00:59:35Itong Rock 16
00:59:36At tumabla
00:59:37Magkaroon tayo ng heel to heel match
00:59:39Mga kabilyard
00:59:47At dito nga aiming sa last ball
00:59:50Pasok yung Jess
00:59:51All eight tayo mga kabilyard
00:59:53No
00:59:53Heel to heel match tayo
00:59:54Dito
00:59:54Makikita natin
00:59:56Isang Rock na lang
00:59:57Para sa championship match na yan
00:59:58Nag-break dito si Hatz
01:00:00May pumasok
01:00:01Tingnan natin
01:00:02Kung may magandang position siya
01:00:04Medyo alanganin
01:00:05Yung position ng cue ball
01:00:06Sa uno
01:00:06Dumikit
01:00:07May chance ngayon si Reyes
01:00:09Panoorin natin mga kabilyard
01:00:10Looking to see if he can cut it in the side
01:00:13I think it does go
01:00:15It's a tough shot
01:00:16We're gonna need a ref on this though
01:00:18No, no, no
01:00:19They're not gonna
01:00:21It's tough to cut a ball
01:00:22When you're that close to it
01:00:23Especially when you're jacked up in the air like that
01:00:25Let's see
01:00:26Wow
01:00:28But look at the distance he's got
01:00:30And it's almost straight
01:00:32Look at the distance he's got on the
01:00:33Yeah, on this three ball
01:00:36Tough time trying to cheat the pocket
01:00:38You can't cheat the pocket here
01:00:43It's hard enough to make this ball
01:00:45But then get position on the four
01:00:48This shot might be a lot harder than the last one
01:00:53This is a ten foot shot right here
01:00:59Miss cue
01:01:00Miss cue
01:01:03Well, it turned out to be a good miss cue
01:01:07Because
01:01:07And doon nga
01:01:08Nagmintis itong si Hatz
01:01:10Pero ganunpaman
01:01:10Iniwanan niya ng masamang
01:01:12Posisyon itong tres
01:01:14Kaya no choice dito si Reyes
01:01:16Kundi mag-counter safety lang siya
01:01:17Kaya panoorin natin yan
01:01:23Now, what's Efrin going to come up with here?
01:01:25He's got to play a safe
01:01:30This match is nowhere near over
01:01:31This game
01:01:36I can't tell if it's
01:01:37I'm not sure if this is a good safety
01:01:39Where Dennis can't see the three
01:01:41But he's looking at it like he can see the edge of the three ball
01:01:45Efrin wanted to hide Dennis behind the six and seven
01:01:48I mean behind the seven and eight
01:01:50Yeah, Dennis can see the edge of the three ball
01:01:52So he can play a safe
01:01:53Which he did
01:01:55Good speed
01:01:57Oh, but he leaves a shot open for Efrin
01:02:01Yeah, but
01:02:03This is a triple tough shot right now
01:02:07And remember, Efrin missed a much easier nine ball last game
01:02:17Safety all the way
01:02:19He didn't even try for it
01:02:21He didn't even try for it
01:02:22He just played a hook
01:02:23Now, this is a good hook shot
01:02:26Dennis may have to try to jump this ball
01:02:31I'll tell you what
01:02:32This turned out to be a hell of a first round match
01:02:36You're telling me
01:02:39To go hill-hill like this
01:02:44Dennis made the motion for a jump shot
01:02:49But it's hard to jump those balls from that distance
01:02:52And keep the cue ball on the table
01:03:00He knows the match is on the line here
01:03:07The outcome of this shot will probably be
01:03:09Will probably be determined
01:03:11The winner of this match
01:03:14He's going
01:03:15Well, he's not going to go airborne with that cue
01:03:18He's thinking about going around
01:03:22The eight ball
01:03:27He'd come off the rail
01:03:31He's going to go around the ten
01:03:33Better make sure you hit it
01:03:35He did
01:03:36He hit it
01:03:36And the four ball gets a rail
01:03:39Now, can the three ball go past the five?
01:03:42Yeah
01:03:43I think it does, Jay
01:03:45This could be it
01:03:46But
01:03:49We're going to have to see
01:03:53The ducks are on the pond
01:04:01Efren knows this is it
01:04:02He's got to run these balls
01:04:06At dyan nga sa posisyon na yan
01:04:07Mukhang nakakuha ng chance si Reyes
01:04:10Ang problema lang
01:04:12Itong 7 at 8
01:04:13Naka-cluster
01:04:14Yung
01:04:15Yung
01:04:15Yung
01:04:16Says at 9
01:04:16Naka-cluster din dun sa itaas
01:04:18Tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan yan ni Reyes
01:04:20Para dito sa final rock
01:04:21But he can reach it
01:04:23He can reach it
01:04:25Question is
01:04:25Jay
01:04:26Where does the seven ball go?
01:04:28Oh, the seven goes
01:04:29The seven's got
01:04:30I think the seven goes in the corner pocket
01:04:33I think it passes the eight
01:04:35Because
01:04:35He doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all
01:04:37Yeah, you're right actually
01:04:43Oh, the seven
01:04:43Yeah, 7 goes in the other corner.
01:04:45Oh, wait a second.
01:04:47He was playing shape to shoot the 7 on the side and he didn't get there.
01:04:52Boy, this match has had more twists than turns in it.
01:04:57And here, it's a bit of a 7 position.
01:04:59It's hard to see the angle because it's 8.
01:05:03But Rez's got a 2-rail bank shot or Z-shot.
01:05:10It's a 2-rail bank shot for the bank shot.
01:05:12Tignan natin kung magawa ng paraan ni Rez sa crucial shot na ito.
01:05:16All 8 ang score.
01:05:18Napakaganda nung tira na yan ni Rez at mukhang papasok yung 7.
01:05:22Pumasok nga mga kaibigan, napakaganda nung ginawa na yun ni Rez.
01:05:25He was either playing safe.
01:05:27He was playing safe.
01:05:29Now look, this is not easy here.
01:05:31Look at the distance he has.
01:05:34He's got it.
01:05:36He's gonna have to use the bridge
01:05:40and cut the 8 ball in.
01:05:42Make sure that the cue ball doesn't scratch in the corner
01:05:45and comes 2-rails back up table for the 9.
01:05:48Another tricky shot.
01:05:53Oh, he missed it.
01:05:54He overcut it.
01:05:55He overcut it.
01:05:58I'll tell you what.
01:05:59That 2-rail bank on the 7 was pure Efron Rez.
01:06:04Who else would have thought of that?
01:06:06Itong unfortunately, hindi naipasok yung 8, no?
01:06:08Medyo alanganin pa na rin yung posisyon nitong 8.
01:06:11Kaya, no chance si Dennis Hatch dito
01:06:15kung di pinahin niya ng mapino ito.
01:06:17Kaya lang, malayo yung cue ball.
01:06:19So, napakahirap nito, mga kabilyard.
01:06:21So, subukan talaga dito si Dennis Hatch
01:06:24kung makakayanan niya ito.
01:06:25The only thing he can do.
01:06:38To cut this ball in, he's got to hit the thinnest edge of that 8.
01:06:48He's calling the bank.
01:06:50He's calling the bank.
01:06:51The 1-rail bank.
01:06:52And when you're this distance
01:06:55from the object ball with the cue ball,
01:06:59this bank is extremely difficult.
01:07:14At dito nga, mukhang bumigay na yung positioning ni Dennis Hatch
01:07:19at na-open ang table kay Reyes.
01:07:21Last 3 ball na lang ito, final rock.
01:07:23Mukhang alanganin dito si Dennis Hatch, no?
01:07:26Dahil nga si Reyes, hindi na niya pakakawalan ito.
01:07:28At makikita natin kung paano gawa ng paraan ni Reyes itong tira na ito.
01:07:33Ito nga, napakahusay nung ball positioning niya.
01:07:36Last 2 ball.
01:08:06Alanganin ang posisyon ng cue ball,
01:08:08pero mukhang ito, over-extend, no?
01:08:11Isi Reyes dito sa tira na ito.
01:08:13Tingnan natin kung magawa ng paraan yan.
01:08:15Final ball, last rock.
01:08:18At dito, naipasok ni Reyes yung Jess.
01:08:20Manipis pa ng konti, pero panalo pa rin siya dyan.
01:08:23Thank you guys for watching.
01:08:24See you on my next video.
01:08:27Dennis, Dennis, Dennis.
01:08:29He's upset.
