@@jmgonzales7701 Pool and Snooker are chess games played on felt just as baseball is played on grass. While not mandatory physical condition is a factor but contact is left to other sporting competitions. I like your thought but these games are what they are and can be played by just about anyone and maybe that’s as it should be.
For me Efren vs Bustamante in 1999 world 9 ball championship semi finals is the best, both played at incredibly high level, almost no error , Efran won 9 racks in the row, oh my god..
@@c.w.9501 Yeah I watched it a live on ESPN back then, I was like what?? Felt sorry for Bustamante, he was on fire in the tournament prior to the match, and the several racks before that incredible 9 racks by Reyes. Man I was rooting for Django that time, he was such a young and great player back then..
@@stephaniedelacruz227 yes! Theyre also Kumpares, Efren's son is Francisco's godson and Francisco's son is Efren's godson, Theyre really tight friends/family
To everyone asking WHY it was an ILLEGAL BREAK: In some tournaments, a certain number of balls have to cross the head-line. The head-line is that line on the breaking end of the table that defines where "the kitchen" is. Only two balls crossed the head-line, and more than that many were required.
@@patrickodonnell7111 That's called a "push out." In 9 ball, you can shoot a "push out" on the first shot after the break. You can do almost anything on a push out, except knock the cue ball off the table, or pocket the cue ball - you don't have to hit any ball, but you can hit any ball. After the push out, the opposing player can choose to take the shot, or pass it back.
how come when they are lining up there shots it looks like they are going to hit the bottom of the cue ball but as they pull back they rock the stick up when they go forward instead of just pulling the stick straight back and forward
Efren is that one nice grandpa that would come up with creative excuses to your parents so they couldn't stop you from going outside with your friends to play.
Pool will never play to the masses until we get the excitement into the game like this. The crowd has to be allowed into it,the announcers' have to be like Hockey, Football etc. This match had it all.
Man I love these two legendary pool 🎱 players. If Michael Jordan is called the "Black Jesus" of basketball. Then, Efren is considered the "Brown Jesus" of pool 🎱 table
Philippines are happy people but when it comes to business there faces tell a different story...look at all the legends Reyes,Bustamante,Manny pacquiao etc
I would have beaten atleast one of these pros in my good days in Blackwell Job Corps 1999-2000. Played with lots of good players and won many tournaments. Missed those days.
Everyone praising efren but django's stroke in this match is flawless.

django pretty much carried the offensive in this game
Reyes looked like a little kid when he won.😄
Why wouldn’t you?
@@davebooth7808 Yes. Definitely.
He's Efren "the kid" Reyes
Because he’s a clown, a goof ball.
@@garybaines6442 ah the clown itself has replied
Best defensive game I've ever seen. This still gives me goosebumps...
Efren + Django is literally the GOAT duo 👀 their chemistry is out of this world
Efren will never understand how valuable he is to the world of pool. He must be protected at all costs 😂

Efren is already a national treasure in the Philippines
Pool is very complex, i just wished there was other versions of it that were far more athletic.

What does that mean, "...protected" ???
Best defensive game I've ever seen... The four players i admire✅👍🇩🇪🇵🇭 they are legends👏👏👏
Django is the real MVP of the game and the final. He was in beast form.
Four of the best ever! If I walked into a match and saw any one of them I’d go home!
Not me, I'd take my beating and smile the whole time.
@@kneecappahkappa5535 Haha, I’m with you in that one!

I’d stay and learn something
you'd do that with any pro

Agree completely
I think his match against Jimmy White is spectacular as well. Jimmy's a beast.
I don't think anyone will ever dislike Efren.. such a lovely personality.. ❤️
Earl Strickland lol
@@starluxstudio619 except they are good friends lol

A good game of safety is highly enjoyable
Efren and Bustamante are the most entertaining, if not the most formidable duo ever!
They are bestfriends that's why they seem to work as one..
@@stephaniedelacruz227 yes! Theyre also Kumpares, Efren's son is Francisco's godson and Francisco's son is Efren's godson, Theyre really tight friends/family
But it was the safeties and counter safeties of Efren that gave them shooting chances
Best referee ever too.
Hot as hell as well
Always love watching these two play… wonderful precision, accuracy and mental fortitude… GG’s ❤❤❤
Reyes is such a joy to watch play.He just lives for playing the game.

Why wasn’t it ball in hand when the shot was passed back and he didn’t hit the one ball first.

Even the magician got nervous.. how about us...
For $60k vs two of the world's best, hell yeah he's nervous lol.
This is just like me and my friends playing pool, we just cannot pocket any ball in less than 20 minutes.

Django was a killer here.. Not the best version of Efren but they are the best tandem in pool back in time.. Django is underrated IMO
Truly great players that deserve that win! Great job! 📕
Awesome match. All are great players and Ms. Michaela Tabb refereeing, how great is that.
Efren is that one nice grandpa that would come up with creative excuses to your parents so they couldn't stop you from going outside with your friends to play.
That's a creative yet fitting description 😁

Efren Reyes has ALWAYS Been such a CLASS Act & a Great Ambassador for the sport of pool!
Michaela Tabb what a Gorgeous woman
Efren surprisingly emotive player in this match.
He loves the game solo much ,May GOD bless him
Best defensive game I've ever seen
11:05.That win selbration was cute 🤭❤❤
Man I love these two legendary pool 🎱 players. If Michael Jordan is called the "Black Jesus" of basketball. Then, Efren is considered the "Brown Jesus" of pool 🎱 table
Django was carrying
So funny EFREN BATA REYES HAS Z LOT OF FUN ANYWSY THEY DESERVED WELL BRAVO TO BOTH🎉🎉❤❤
Some of the best safety play you’ll ever see, that’s for sure.
Nothing but the best congrats 👏 Reyes, Bustamante From Buffalo's in New Orleans Louisiana
Beautiful break of Reyes, there he was on focus.
Efren is definitely the 🐐, but people often forget just how great Bustamante is too. Probably the greatest duo to ever team up.
Oh my..... ....there are 4 legends in 1 table❤❤❤❤
Philippines are happy people but when it comes to business there faces tell a different story...look at all the legends Reyes,Bustamante,Manny pacquiao etc
I have never seen ER so pumped-up
I would have beaten atleast one of these pros in my good days in Blackwell Job Corps 1999-2000. Played with lots of good players and won many tournaments. Missed those days.
No one has the winning dance moves like Reyes
5:45 I l9ve that guy so funnny and so smart 😂🤣😂😂😭😭
Bustamante saved this match for real
So cool to see a game bring that kind of joy out in grown men! love it!
I love Efren... Legend
Looking good as usual there MS Tabb
Biliard first from Indonesia ❤❤
Love the crowd!
Django was more stead in the last few racks. To Django's credit he saved Efren from not so accurate preparations!
9:30 that was such a beautifully played shot 👌
Idk why this brought tears to my eyes
That was awesome
Bustamante & Reyes is the Reak Legends......🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Ang galing tlga nila Mang Efren at Mang Django
Great match, just good shots under pressure.
Efren dancing is among the best things in the world
The FIRST time i saw REYES happy like that..this make my day
him and Django are best friends in real life too. Often times they'd compete on the road together and share hotels so they are definitely pals
The best duo
10:51 kahit legend kinakbhn pdin hehe 😅
All these guys on both teams are just so good. Unbelievable.
Reyes and Bustamante, two of my favorite players.
They’re so happy, that’s awesome
Efren was so nervous he made alot of mistakes here he was lucky Django was on point
Daaaaaammnn. Safety after safety after safettyyyy! Legends.
Am not a player nor have been able to hold a cue stick. But I love watching pool. Lol
I would love a hug from Michaela too 😅
The position he got on the 3 after he made the 1 got me rewatch, rewatch and rewatch.
Best defensive match I've ever seen.
When I’m deep in a poker tournament in try to channel my inner Ralf Souquet.
Bro Emoted 💀💀💀
Proud to say my middle name is Efren, what a 🐐
Hello
LOVE TO WATCH replays of Efren Reyes and Django Bustamante....
Congrats ❤❤❤❤
Reye's celebration was the greatest in the history of sports, straight up.
He looked like Kirby celebrating 🤣
What a game of tactics
There is more pressure in team sport setting like this and also golf.
,,Mahirap buwagin ang tandem na yan hahaha.😂👍❤
My two most humble and favorite players. You know who I’m talking about..
Boost carried the legend in this In particular match But still an epic match the witness in person if you were there
I would agree! Bustamante was on point, making the more difficult shots and great play on safeties/snooking!
5:36 that was an crucial awesome stock kill the ball kick shot
protect Efren at all cost
Mi estimado Efrén reyes es el mejor de todos los tiempos nada que discutir
Crowd is the second opponent here...
Love thes dance at the end Efren!!
This that 04 pistons defense
The greatest pool player I seen was many yrs ago

They make it look so easy, but the Philipino team was making some difficult shots.
I want to watch this tour in its entirety, where can I find it? Please answer if anyone knows
