- The last two undefeated players at the 2001 Masters 9-Ball Championship were two of the greatest players of all time. Any time these two players meet on the table, you can expect a classic.
Strickland, 39, was the reigning US Open 9-Ball Champion and Player of the Year from 2000.
Reyes, 46, was also near the top of his game, with recent wins at the World 9-Ball Championship and US Open One Pocket Championship.
Grady Mathews and special guest Buddy Hall were in the booth.

I miss Grady... damn fine commentator. Such insight & knowledge. A true legend.
As a pool player who's only started watching and loving the game for the past two or three years, it's incredible to see Earl in his prime after only seeing Reyes over and over again. I now finally see why people would talk so highly of him, he really was incredible in his prime.
This isn't his prime,! Not even close
Got to grow up watching and later competing against all the legends...the hay day of pool is over
babe wake up… new earl vs reyes dropped
This was pre-911. What a time to be alive.
What was different back then in your opinion?
Efren always had the edge with the brains. But in terms of natural talent... Pocketing and cue ball power... Earl might be the best talent ever
on the same page as me
Omg! Even the intro is epic! Can’t wait to watch.
I Love the commentators...."That's not a gentle tap..a rap, rap, rapping at my door" at around (25:46 ) And the Laugh of the other commentator...Priceless! Wholesome fun and gest. I can't get enough of that moment. I keep replaying it. Earl is so entertaining and cringeworthy at times. He genuinely shocked the commentator with his tapping of the balls. I don't know any guy who appreciates having their balls tapped. LMAO! JK! Great commentary and wonderful match!!
My best moment in playing pool - - - I played Efren in 2017; the game was the best three out of five in nine ball. Of course he beat me and I enjoyed it. - - - If you are ever in the Huntsville Alabama area just stop by Steve's Cue and Grill - - - as you walk in you will see a picture of Efren and I on the left just outside the entrance of my cue repair shop - - - I'm there every week, if I'm not in my shop just walk up to the bar and look to your right - - - I am normally setting at the first table having coffee or unsweetened tea if I am not teaching someone how to shoot pool - - - if you shoot pool, since I own all the Diamond pool tables in the bar, the table time will be on me and I will let you break!
Awesome man I will have to remember that and come see you. That must be an awesome memory of playing Efren as he is a class ack sounds like you’re too my man
The commentators were not on Efren’s side at all. I love them all but back then they were not on his side.
Earl is just the worst. I bet being around him for too much time is just draining. Can't imagine being around someone that is just that miserable
34:40 best laugh ever
lol, Cletus the slack-jawed yokel
This is gonna be good.
Ahhh.. Grady and Buddy. RiP, best in the business.
buddy still alive
Nursing home in metrolpis ill
Thanks Pat!!
I find it comical how the commentators reprimanded Efren’s play choices constantly. You’re in the booth for a reason big dog.
THEY KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE WAIT THAT EFREN HAD TO WAIT TO BREAK, BUT WHAT ABOUT 2 RACKS BEFOR WHEN EFREN TOOK 33 TIMES TO RACK THE RACK? SAME FOR BOTH, SO JUST CAUSE EARL IS WINNING IT DIDNT EFFECT HIM!!!!
“He could play it off the seven…” As the goat squeezes by the 7 like nothing.
1:19:45 Commentator: "He played that ball in the wrong hole"
Efren: *Proceeds to run out effortlessly*
Buddy is allowed to talk like that, us not so much.
Foul.
Crap Earl, stop sharking
The tournament tonight but still can’t wait for this to start
Großartige Spiel 🎉🎉🎉
2 of the best
Brings back memories back in the day those 5-1/4” pockets with winner breaks. Wowser the swings that could happen.
5 inch pockets
@@tgh223 I remember 35 years ago playing 9 ball tournaments on this 9’ gold crowns some had 5-1/8”+. Bar tables with no shelf & 5-1/4” are massive buckets. Lol. Anyway them days are long gone & I got 4” pockets on my 9’ table now. Cheers
This table used in this game was 4.5inches pocket not 5inches.
@zanethindI have a 9’er with 4” pockets. Grey Simonis on black. Cheers
@@rafaelvillamor9702ya they do look tighter than 5”. Maybe 4-5/8” Ha. Cheers
loved all the comments but boy was i ready for bed after all the yawning ! lol
Earl was phenomenon
If only Earl had a shrink early on he might not have so many haters.
What's wrong with Earl?
He seems to have a rug? The red flag is up Mister commentators. Yapping Yapping 😅😂
The fact they are hitting the ball to try and get a better rack is crazy I didn’t realize pros did this smh. To get a good rack, if the spot has indentation last in it, simply place a ball on the spot place your hand on the ball and while pressing firmly down on the ball massage ball evenly on and around the spot. You don’t damage the felt by smacking another ball into it. It’s a simple technique I’ve come up with using common sense. How people don’t think of this is crazy.
Earl never gets up the check efren's rack and says oh the seven ball needs to be tapped. When he has the advantage he never says anything.
Fraught with peril. 😂 Love Grady
*RACKING: TRUSTING YOUR OPPONENT, WHICH YOU ARE BEATING, TO GIVE YOU A GOOD FAIR RACK? FRED GORST SAID IN PODCAST, HE ALWAYS GIVES A SHIT RACK TO OPPONENTS*
Earl is such a bratt i can barely stand watching him play unless its straight pool cause he doesnt act like an emotional child
April 2001, year & month I was born
the pearl 🤩🤩
Mr. N. 😂😂
This is why winner breaks is dumb asf
what the F in 2022 somebody invented the sarno rack after this debacle now its the plastic ball holder i dont like that crap there always stopping to pull that fn thing
Earle and Mike Sigel: two of the whiniest players in pool history. That underscores their lack of character/
Earl , the winner strictland badge sport , big baby
1:15:13 wtf is this commentating?!
Lol don't be bitter lil bro
Buddy & Grady you can't get better than that.
@@trudaroof tremendous players... but commentating is another thing bud
34:40 peak commentating
"These idiots in here disorient me". Earl is such an @$$hole 🤣
I really do not like Efren - no idea why.
Not sure what the commentator was talking about when he said the nine went into the corner. No.
