I saw Eklenti play in person. He is an absolute position playing/shot making machine. He's 19!!! WOW!!! Spectacular performance Sir!!!
I'm amazed at how ppl still seem to underestimate Kaci. Dude is a legit phenom
True story. He's only getting better. Scary.
Wait a few yrs. These young guns show up, shoot like burning hell, and 5 yrs from now they are just another pro. He's definitely got talent.
Kaci needs a shot clock.
and his best move was to not let Alex get to the table..lol
@@madhatter3492 good call.
Alex didn't miss a ball...
lol
He missed the lag
Alex played great, no doubt about it! :)
I bet you would of done the same, Lozer
Or this is how well one must execute against Alex..to come out on top..
Absolutely the #1 highlight from the entire west coast swing, insane! Thanks for posting!
The last one-ball to keep it going took balls man. That was a masterful performance alright. I never heard of this guy before but I won't forget that name now. Well played! Nice to be able to see it. Even if the quality wasn't the greatest. But I guess that's because we're used to everything in HD now. Also - I completely agree with the commentators on alternate break. It's ruined the game. There's just something special about stringing break-and-runs like this that's so exciting. You just don't get that level of suspense building up with alternate break. =) I liked the comment about it being like the "everyone's a winner" idea. Hah! So true.
I know this kid its from my village , since a kid he use to play from 8 in the morning until billiard shop are close lol. He's an Ase
Dam at first when Eklant played Efren I said , "well he's a good player" but watching him a little more this guy is bearly 20yr and wrecking shop🔥
Eklant Kaci has a very strong mind and consistent technique. He will dominate pool for many years to come.
YES!!! Thanks for making this public! I just started to play pool. I'm a 3/4. I love what you are doing for the sport. Thank you!
Just when my confidence is built back up. I see this! Insane
Finally we see winners break! That’s pool how it should be!!
Nice interview afterwards too.
The first time I saw Eklent play I knew he would become no.1 player in the world one day.
He's up to number 13.
First tine i saw him play was when he beat efren. Thats a great match if u havent seen it.
Said the same thing when i seen Alex at 19yrs old in Canada...truly awesome
I said the same thing the first time I saw Shaw play a money match in a random pool hall before he was known
He is without doubt the world's best player today, he just beat Thorston Hoemann in straight pool, that is off the charts! he will be the player to watch for the next 5 years!
Bernie Friend # 1 8-ball player 2002
"when the break works , it's easy" lol...
Wait, what, "one hour sleep, break working, I've run 10 packs before, many players have done this." LOL 😰😰😰 Alex trying to get with the rack girl, Priceless.
Thank you so much for this! It's a pretty rare think we just say and you captured it all perfectly.
Why are the commentators just raving about Alex when kaci is putting on a show
This is just sick...
That is some pretty awesome shooting.
Congrats! What a great feeling and confidence lifter!
Kaci looks so different now, with the extra weight and age and beard...just heard the commentators for his match with Skylar today talking about this match.
I was in the audience here and didn't know who he was at the time, and didn't see him play again till some time later looking as he does now, it was hard to imagine him being the same guy...played faster here too.
Great player.
I love kaci hes amazing and well conditioned for a young dude 💪hes lethal and has beaten earl and efren before amongst many others
Kaci has sped up his shooting pace, and it is allowing him to get into a much better rhythm. Obviously. Alex is one of my favorite players still, poor guy. Everyone gets their doors blown off sometimes though. Sometimes, it's just the other guys night.
this is Amazing bravo klenti 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing! :) Nice shooting Ekent! WOW!
Alex "dogged" the lag! :P :P :P
4.125” pockets as well 😳
Pretty tight, I played on it a few times...after being part of the audience here.
Dude has done a great job speeding up his game.
good call!
Thanks for the streams Daniel!!
this years WCS i really enjoyed watching Ruslan, Eklent, and Bobby I think was his name, plays explosive and fast.
Bobby Emmons.
He made it look so easy anyone who actually plays now how hard that is
Just perfect!
Impressive!!
Where is Alex?
Legendary plus first 😲
aleeex how did you missed that nine
Break, Stroke, Rhythm, Confidence.
Pool is simple - The above is very difficult.
Videos quality was about 1980 though.
It was encoded that way for the CZcams share, the higher quality on the paid site.
I like how the commentators barely talked about the match at all until like the 7th rack lol
One hour of sleep ?? Wow
Great moment but it would've been great if you could do more than 480p

Eklent Kaci 👑👑👑
good player!!
wow, just wow
What’s the rack lady’s name? She’s cute!
29:10 wtf
Anyone else notice how Daniel is always emulating a foreign player's accent anytime he's talking to them!??
It’s out of respect.
His American accent isn't natural either...he's European, British, I think.
Klenti on fire, alex for sleep.
The chairs there are comfortable?
Hahaha hahaha
only thing i can say is amazing ,,,,,,,, but i do wanna ask more of the old timers a question and something i struggle with ........... as far as modern equipment cloth and rails especially it seems to take far less pool stroke to go twice as far which seems to require a softer smoother easier stroke in general on the simonis cloth or other fast tables . i cant slow my stroke down without decellerating or punching the cueball and in the end i get so much cueball squirt that i miss way more balls than i care to admit ,,,,,,,, if i am playing 10 ball i may run 2 or 3 racks then miss 2 or 3 of the easiest shots from the cue ball wandering or over spinning from a long pool stroke from my young days . any help or drills would be appreciated
riff724 riff724 good players adjust to equipment, great players adjust faster. Work on stroke drills and lagging the cue ball across the table, table and a half, and two times across the table until you can do it consistently. Shoot stop shots from different distances until you can control the slide of the cue ball and maintain accuracy. Those are the building blocks that every other shot is built upon. Good luck!
awesome
They been making fun of them “asswaits”
But i betcha they do start using something like tht
Watch
Why is this trend of NOT shooting the last ball? the are like 'yeah, we are so good that ... the last ball on the table if I we get a good shape at .... wont be taken into consideration'. Really? I've see hundreds of balls missed by pros in perfect shape. Especially the last ball/shot!!
I used to think this way as well. Until I started playing more and got much better and got familiar with much better talent. The odds of them missing those kinds of shots are so infinitesimally small that giving it to them is exactly the same as them shooting it. These guys are really that good and those shots are really that easy. It's like playing the lottery. Yeah, there's a chance you could win, but it's such a tiny possibility that you might as well not waste your time.
And, like you say, if they get good shape on it, they'll give it to them. If they get tough on the 10 however, they'll make them shoot.
In some cases you don't want to allow players to get into a rhythm. When gambling it was common to give people 2-3 ball outs when they were sitting in the pockets just to keep the money running. Also if you are running ahead, it's a nice gesture and makes the other player think you respect their game, when you aren't allowing them to get into rhythm and keeping the money turning over.
I think they should shoot every ball it may be respect for the opponent but it's disrespect to the game and the spectators.
This is insanity...
He didn't run 72. In eight games he pocketed 17 on the break and Alex gave him the last ball each rack. So he really only made 55 shots in a row. Still extremely impressive being the game is Ten Ball. also, making it "loser breaks" would make it more of a chess match and not so one sided.
I agree. I wish he made him shoot the 10. He would most likely make it but there is always a chance for him to miss.
If it were loser breaks, you would break EVERY game.
i really dont get the "its okay dont play the 10ball" at the end..
This seems counter to getting pool popular with the masses. Why would you post a video of great pool and then make it unwatchable? PPV for quality pool will continue to ensure it is never taken seriously.
they give away the low-def stream, and charge for the high-def stream. I'm sure someone will say that's a bad business model yada yada etc. but the truth is almost nobody will pay for pool streams, and nothing the streamers ever do is good enough. Even if it's free and high-def, someone will complain about something. I'm just glad they at least shared this on YT rather that hiding it in their PPV.
alpaul yea, i totally agree. i always supported this channel and recommended it but now theres almost zero content. why on earth would i pay a monthly fee to watch "local hero" johnny shmo play mediocre pool in poor lightning when there is highest quality snooker available cost free?
there are some new quality pool channels though, like BSN, orangefork and railbirdstv etc, which i really like. but hopefully barry hearn and matchroomsports will set things right next year and american pool will be on tv again. he already has made wcop and wpm the best produced pool on tv
Having someone not shoot the final shot at the end or not shoot the final shot every now and then is fine. But not having him shoot almost every final shot? Idk i think thats a bit much
Da-yum GINA .. What the hell is really going on?
Outlaw the magic rack
I would love to get an actual pronunciation of this kids name that we all can use...
@31:00
Amazing pool, but the commentary about winner vs alternate breaks is stupid. That 5-0 scenario is much more hard fought and deserved if you're playing alternate, since you've won 2 or 3 of your opponent's breaks. So it makes sense that it would be harder to come back as well, you're only 5-0 because you've made mistakes.
While watching an 8-rack like this is fun for the novelty, if every match panned out like this it would be boring as hell. Actual good, exciting matches are close, and you get that way more often with alternate, because it actually allows both players equal chances, and you have to "break serve" to get ahead, rather than just win one single lag.
someguywhocanfly Agreed. It’s always the same for both, if the other guy can get 5-0 ahead in either format then the opponent can do it too. The difference is just that in winner breaks, it is easier to get to a flow state.
How about if in this 8-0 situation, Alex would be given a chance to try to run 8 and catch up?
I think the benefits of each just come down to the experience of playing it. If no-one had ever played winner breaks they'd probably hate the idea, but some people grow up with that and some grow up with alternate.
Yeah, that idea is nice. I play alternate (UK pool tho) and apparently in some leagues if you dish (run a rack), your opponent gets a chance to counter-dish, and that can keep going until someone fails to get one. Supposedly it's gone up to 4 consecutive dishes in 8 ball for one frame haha.
There is no one good way to do the break, no matter which way you go it ends up losing something to gain something. Alternate break can be closer in score and more "fair" but then you don't get to see big comebacks or high runs. I would want to see how many racks a player can put together as much as seeing close matches.
Agree and disagree at the same time. Let me clarify: After the tournaments started with the alternative break, the better players started to loose more more often to weaker opponents, because they can’t be in the „zone“ anymore. This run by Kaci shows what it means to be in the zone. He could play another set and run. But with the a-break he can’t anymore. Couple of years ago I played against my couch. He run 15 9-Ball racks out, so 7:0, 7:0, 1:0 and then missed the first show. After racking up for more then an hour I couldn’t play anymore. He destroyed me that day, BUT that was just more fun watching this happen than playing saves every rack or so. If you ask professionals, nobody wants to play a-break. It’s just against the whole beauty of this game. Pool is not snooker. Imagine you run a rack of straight pool, and then your opponent has the next rack to play? Wouldn’t that be stupid??? Cheers ;)
EKLEND KACI NEXT SALIVA
I just call him kaci
Carlos biado the best
Would it more impressive without the magic rack
Wenlong Zhang nope
If a player always makes a ball on the break, with a shot on the one. Plays position for easy shots I suspect they could win. LOL
Lo
That will teach you to lose the lag Alex !
Haha albania forever
If he were any slower, he would go backwards.
You must have had side action on Ruslan when Elect pocketed the 20k. Kaci didn't shoot slow in this match. Alex is even even slower now that you brought it up.
while i appreciate the skill it takes to accomplish this, THIS is the reason why pool does not grow. NOBODY wants to sit and watch someone run rack after rack after rack, especially someone new to or unfamiliar with the sport. People will tune in to just about anything to watch professionals COMPETE, not sit on their asses. I dont have the answers but something needs to change to interest more people in the sport.
If NOBODY enjoys watching someone run rack after rack why was the the applause so great after he did it? I believe it's a personal preference if you like to see people string racks together. But defensive battles are interesting too.
Dude's talking about walking up and touching people like it's normal. Ask before you touch the Fillipinos, or anyone for that matter. Jesus.
And you don't get this good...growing up on "barboxes"..
that magic rack is big--thats a reason he ran 8 racks---me and a buddy used mine to play 9 ball and i made the 9 5 games in a row, and almost 6--due to a monster break and a perfect rack........
Making the 9 is a sign of a bad rack not a good one. When the balls are tight, the 9 does not move much unless kicked in by chance.
Maybe next time he can do it while playing a tuba and eating a pastromi sandwich with the other hand. Would you be impressed then?
It's sort of unfair !! Like, switch break is the best.
Pagulayan you are capable of murdering your opponent. You can do this to Eklent and zero him. Get your revenge next time.
