Efron knew he was going to beat her because despite missing a lot of shots , at 29 minutes she missed an easy shot so he missed the next shot to boost her confidence. Efren is a fierce competitor, he’s also very decent, humble and endearing.
I played eight ball once and my opponent won ten games straight(you win you break) He would shoot with one hand whenever he could. Nice guy and it was fun to watch him play
What I find hilarious is the looks on players faces, why so damn serious. I am 70 now but in my younger year when I use to stick we had a great time laughing and acting up. Now days it seems you have to be packing and have backup...
I agree with you! When I was playing a lot of pool in the 80s and 90s, laughing and joking around and having fun was the whole point of playing pool. Even in our tournaments we only got serious near the end of the tournament where a distraction at the wrong time could be an expensive mistake. A lot of these modern tournaments seem so dark and serious and without much fun element to them.
Efren didnt make mistakes he pretended to miss. You should know that by now. He always gives upcoming players chances on purpose. He could have beaten her 7-0 if he wanted.
Kinda boring, like he was playing his daughter. Wanted to let her win. She needs to go & practice. Efren played with a scrub, so he played like one. But He's a true Champion!!!👍👍
Even though he hit the 2 ball, one of the balls, either the 2 ball or the cue ball has to hit the rail or it's considered a foul on a miss or defensive shot.
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!
@@AISEARATOKALAU After playing Efren I lost my right eye because of a stroke. It's taken me a couple three years to get my game back. I'm not As good as I once was but then I am a lot older than I was in 2017.
Great game but it was not a tough fight. Both players played good with mistakes, and if it was hill vs hill to the last game then that would be a tough fight
Oh come in..in frame 12 Efrem made a ball on the break so wth did she get the next shot..WTF IS GOING ON???? And hen she refuses to shoot?? WTH are you people doing to 9-balls rules?? GRRRRRRRR..WHAT???? Efrem tries the side bank to hit the 2 ball ???? I am no pro..and yet I would have shor the long bank to hit it and pocket it...It really appears like he is DELIBERATELY trying to lose... MAFIA BETS and pressure??? He could have easily buried her 7/0.. Bulls h i t. LOL..AND THEN she skakes his right hand after he spent the whole match wiping his nose with it...LOL
In game 12, Efren makes the one on the break and she goes up to the table then "gives it back to him" like he played a push out. Did i miss something?? I've watched it twice and I'm confused!!
I think they are playing the 3 point rule where you need a combination of making 1 or more balls on the and having the difference of balls pass the head string. plus with the option that you can give the shot back to the breaking player if you don't have a shot on the ball. That happened twice when Rita broke she made a ball on the break but then she gave the table to Efren.
Efren only sank 8 balls to win the game of rack 5 after she made the break. She actually should have continued to shoot after the break with one of the balls down the pocket.
The thing is…. No one is ever embarrassed by losing to Efren. I don’t care if he is still shooting pool at 80. It’s Efren freaking Reyes. Winning against him, and also losing to him, is a badge of honor. Because the entire pool world, knows he’s the best, ever!! I wish I was good enough to have played that legend. But alas, I’m 50, and not going to get better. So it’ll never happen. I do enjoy these videos when I’m on a “pool kick”! Don’t play much at all anymore myself, so the binging comes in spurts.
Efren was a hustler as a kid, so even as a professional, he hustles pretending to lose at the beginning, just like in this match 😂😂 He always knows when he has the game under control 👍
Efren Reyes hadn't taken this game as seriously as previous ones! Most likely it's because he's competing against a woman of whom may have grown to admire and is anxious to see her develope into a champion!
Just for the information of other pool players out there, efren reyes is a filipino, ang filipinos have a great respect to a woman. So don't expect a war in this gama bet. Reyes and his opponent in this gama.
@@danp6101 it is really strange! Because usually Efren is so precise when ot comes to the rules of the game. The gal just heeded unquestioningly..it is funny
@@hussienmohammed2914 Tournament rules sometimes are different than what we use for every-day play. Outside of tournaments people can agree on any rules they want to use. I think it's a local custom thing depending on where you live. Where I live we always used the rule that a ball (any ball) has to hit a rail after the cue hits the object ball. Without that rule people do some jerky soft-tap safeties.
outcome could have been very different if Reyes had intergity. Game 12 he fouled when he missed the 2 ball but didnt call it on himself. Zhou could have had a easy run out making it hill/hill with her having the break
Wrong! First of all he hit the 2 the first time, very thin and it was right in front of her. Second, she got ball in hand 1 shot later but couldn't win. Get your facts straight hater.
Efron knew he was going to beat her because despite missing a lot of shots , at 29 minutes she missed an easy shot so he missed the next shot to boost her confidence. Efren is a fierce competitor, he’s also very decent, humble and endearing.
And not a bad pool player for a Rookie!😮😅

Obviously Efren play this match not seriously but she doesn't grab the chance to win against him. Efren was was a humble player.

Unfortunately, pool halls in my area are very dangerous. If you win money, rest assured, you will meet someone while walking to your car.

Let's be honest, Efren never wanted to humilite the girl
efren not too serious on that game ..
Reyes is past his time. He even got beat by Strickland which has to be one of the most over rated players alive.

Good game. Both of them make some mistakes. But Efren has more experience. Thanks.

7-0 I disagree completely. I'm a pool and snooker player on real tables.

Ok. But, my opinion Will not change because you think different to me. 🙂

THAT INITIAL THREE BANK SHOT....I MIGHT HAVE WALKED OVER AND SAID....I cant beat up but lets see how far I can go.

In game #8..Efrem hit the 2 ball which was the object ball.....So why did she get ball-in;hand?? WTH???
Even though he hit the 2 ball, one of the balls, either the 2 ball or the cue ball has to hit the rail or it's considered a foul on a miss or defensive shot.
i rewatched it three times, he hit the ball before the rail. a perfect shot. he must have blinked or was just being nice to her.
Uncharacteristic misses for the Magician
She is beautiful and dangerous!
and a Loser !
@@AlanMay64 Rita is not a loser. WTF are you talking about? She is probably the 2nd best female player in the world following Siming Chen.
Efron controlled the game from the first rack. Giving enough to instill confidence in the up and comer but also remaining the GOAT he is.
She is really one of the best women shooters I've seen and did well considering up against the worlds best.❤😊
well if you watched the match she gave up on 5th game if you know anything about pool or gambling she was setting up the next game in my opinion
Rita Chou,
Efren make shere to much mistakes ... not the best mach

Hey RichardsWorld, seems everyone having to play Mr. Efren has Big Eyes... buts seem to get smaller later on in the match..
That was a entertaining game both players missed shots they should have easily made but hey thats billiards . 😊

She played very well. But as always Efren is the Goat🤘Great and entertaining match
34:33 probably the longest time GOAT planning for a shot.
The camera man is rubbish!
She is called Big Eyes because she has big looking eyes. Not because she looks attractive. Although she does look attractive.

Efren understand this:your are as good as your competition.don’t get me wrong she got a nice stroke.
Efren was missing on purpose, that's what you do when you generally like women, but this is competition man!

same here! I think the goat didn't see the one ball which is very unlikely.

she plays a good game, but was she working on her motor cycle before she walked in
Hahaha nice one! 👍👍👍😁🙂🎱
she pocketed the one on that break. How come she turned it over to Efren?
As good as she is she was probably a little embarrassed that he was just playing well enough to not skunk her.
Both made errors yet more casual more interesting more quiet game as well for a change
The best❣️

That would be a foul.
