Admittedly, I did NOT have the greatest time covering this match. Although it was an honor, I was ill prepared and Truman and I are not used to working with each other. In Truman's defense, he does not have all the experience as a commentator that he should most likely have earned before doing such a high profile match. But hey, this video is FREE, remember. Beat me or join me!
I think You and Truman were absolutely wonderful together. His reactions to multiple shots were so sincere and makes me watch this video at least twice a week!!! Please do more commentating Truman HW!!!!!!!!!!
You guys weren't so bad! It's the pool played between 2 legendary players were here for anyway! Thanx for the stream, Daniel. It's really sad that Hard Times is closed, forevermore!❤️🙏👉🇺🇸
You& Truman needs to read up on your pool player's and who the best is and was, Efren Reyes is not the best player that ever lived, the best player in the world is Alfredo de Oro he has 22" world titles in straight pool & 22" world titles in 3 cushion billiards, Efren Reyes don't come close to that margin, Alfredo de Oro is Nick named ** the grand daddy of pool** because he's the best ,go study pocket billiards so all you commentators can stop lying to pool player's and pool fans.
It’s 2019, and I truly think this is the best match on TH-cam. You see the true creativity and knowledge these guys have acquired. Alcano was playing at the top of his game in this video. He’s kinda fell off since then. A true pleasure to see these Philippino gods play.
The camera quality is awesome guys. I would tone the light and/or contrast down just a shade though. Balls are so bright you can't read the numbers easily. Light reflection off the next table is a little strong too. Keep it up and thanks.
So when you play the object ball OFF another object ball it's a carom, and when you play the cue ball off a ball to re-use the cue ball to pocket another, it's a billiard. Is that correct? I'd (earnestly) like to get this accurate. :) Thanks for watching -- and thank you also for your edification.
Yep, if you guys want to cast a match between two of the best in the world and produce a video here, go for it. Otherwise, shut up, support pool, and support the commentators for doing the same. Thanks for the match!
These men are AWESOME...that is why the commentor's are so excited, you do not see pool like this everyday....the Great Efren Reyes...and Ronnie is pretty pretty damn good himself...I love it...
Thank you POV pool for another wonderful video and capturing another hour of great pool. We also thank you for allowing goplaypool com to be part of this experience.
A carom is any contact between two balls other than the initial contact of the cue ball to the object ball after the stroke. A billiard is the when an object ball redirects the cue ball into the ball intended to be pocketed. This comes from billiards where the cue ball must strike two object balls to receive points. SO, every billiard shot--like the one at 9:57--is a carom shot, but not every carom is a billiard shot. However, using the terms in this manner applies only to pocket billiards.
New to pool, wanting to learn more. So i am trying to work out why they sink their respected objects, then sink the black but then sink the others solid/stripes? Thanks.
10 ball is the new pro 9 ball. That one extra ball makes a huge difference not to mention 10 ball completely takes out the luck factor. If you want to learn how to play pool, WATCH THE PROS! B/c if you aren't trying to do what the pros are doing then who are you trying to play like. Look at the decisions the pros do in all the different situations and try to replicate it. Chess is like pool. It's all about the right move. Good Luck!
Check out a channel called 'Tor Lowry'. He shows you everything about pool (how to stand, where to hit the cue balls, potting routines etc). The video is roughly 2hours 30mins but it's well worth the watch. Iv watched it many times. Welcome to Pool, amazing sport/hobby to enjoy and play.
2 of top 5 players of all times for me. alcano won the world champioship in 2006 if im not mistaken, and i havent seen him missing more than 2 shots per game. its too bad he came when reyes exited his prime. as for alcano, he said his idol is efren, he has the same mustache as him and some people say that he did an operation on his upper lip to get it looking like one of reyes. incredible story behind those two masters.
34:00 - how did ronnie hit that stun follow off the cushion on the 8 ball? from the camera's angle, that was an insane shot to be able to control the cue-ball with a shot at that force. amazing shape....
+leon voulgaris - Yes! We have a very strict policy that if you are not carrying or under the influence of copious amounts of mind altering substances, then you are not welcome.
yes u will have a problem but with enough practice u get used to it u must play on tables with blue cloth a lot some tines its hard to see the 2 ball on a blue cloth so people that play on blue will have trouble with the green 6 on green cloth / and people that play often on blue will have trouble on 2 ball begin blue but with enough table time u get used to it so practice practice practice just pick one color table and stick to it i suggest blue since most tournaments use blue
And for the announcers... keep ur head up guys its not as easy up there as it seems and if u truely love the game its easy to get caught up in good play... keep the vids comeing and practice practice practice;)
he shot it at 2;30 o'clock forcing the cue ball to bump the rail and the counter-english so that it moves downwards away from the rail, instead of moving forward.
at 42:00 minutes the 9th game the commentators explain the causes and effects of dirty/chalked up balls what is exactly what my recent video I posted about “why you need to clean your cue and balls” and what can happen. Especially if both cue and object balls have chalk on them when they hit each other massive throw can happen or like the old truck to put chalk in two balls then freeze them together for trick shots.
By the way I like commentary. Isn't the best I've heard and isn't the worst. At least they are watching the match, unlike some commentators who talk about everything under the sun and don't even comment on the match. I don't mind some enthusiasm. Not everybody who watches these things is a jaded knowitall who knows everything there is to know about the tiny world of professional pool--and if that describes you, just turn your sound off, shouldn't be too hard.
No sir, I watch soooo many matches on TH-cam and you are, by far my favorite commentator. Sincerity and reactions were absolutely priceless. It shows that you truly love the game. Kudos to you, sir. Please do more commentating and tag me when you do!
Shot at 10ish minute mark is a billiard.. carom is when you pocket a ball by hitting an object ball and having that object ball strike another object ball. Shooting the cue ball into an object ball and having the cue ball hit and pocket another ball is a billiard shot. bad explanation but it's the difference lol. Cool game.
this was one of my favorite games to watch ever
Five years later and it still is.
Ronnie…A young Efren....What a pleasure watching these to play. My all-time favorite players

A spliff, a snickers-bar, and world-class pool !! Thats a menu hard to resist!!………..Cheers…..
The magician strikes again at 21:25!
Yuppppp!
That runout on the 7th rack by Alcano was artistic. Amazing to watch these two.

21:34 sick sick man Efren Reyes
I've never played Race to 10, what was amazing?
Raphie009 Efren Reyes.
that shot on the 7 at the 13:00 game, soooo nice
Part skill, part luck.
@@trueblu8 He called it... what's "lucky" about that...?
whenever I need some inspiration I watch this match
@21:25 what a shot!
The camera quality is awesome guys. I would tone the light and/or contrast down just a shade though. Balls are so bright you can't read the numbers easily. Light reflection off the next table is a little strong too. Keep it up and thanks.
Old video. We've changed a lot since then. Thanks for your feedback.
21:20 magician

beavis and butthead commentating
Thanks for uploading this. I would have loved to watch the PPV but too late here on the east coast!
Yep, if you guys want to cast a match between two of the best in the world and produce a video here, go for it. Otherwise, shut up, support pool, and support the commentators for doing the same.
Thanks for the match!
34:07 WAAaauuggh
Okay that was an amazing shot. He hopped It so it would roll off of the rail
pretty sure one of those commentators was baked
LOL........one was for sure.
Players anouncing the pockets and commentators guessing the next shot.. just baked?

"Oh my god... Oh my god. He plays so good. Ronnie! *clap*clap* Oh my god." @43:31
Truman is my favorite commentator by far!!!
"Oh my god, oh my god, he plays so good"
sounded like poolgasim or something....
Any other match available of this tournament? Shane vs. Ronnie for instance?
More of Ronnie Alcano please!
Thank you POV pool for another wonderful video and capturing another hour of great pool.
We also thank you for allowing goplaypool com to be part of this experience.
the shot on 21.20,.whoa,i didn't see that coming!
A carom is any contact between two balls other than the initial contact of the cue ball to the object ball after the stroke. A billiard is the when an object ball redirects the cue ball into the ball intended to be pocketed. This comes from billiards where the cue ball must strike two object balls to receive points. SO, every billiard shot--like the one at 9:57--is a carom shot, but not every carom is a billiard shot. However, using the terms in this manner applies only to pocket billiards.
I've never seen Efren miss so many easy shots. It looks like he was rushing a little bit. He's still one of my favorites.
New to pool, wanting to learn more. So i am trying to work out why they sink their respected objects, then sink the black but then sink the others solid/stripes?
Thanks.
This is 10 ball, you go from 1 to 10, it's not 8 ball where it's stripes vs solids and last one gets black (8 ball).
10 ball is the new pro 9 ball. That one extra ball makes a huge difference not to mention 10 ball completely takes out the luck factor. If you want to learn how to play pool, WATCH THE PROS! B/c if you aren't trying to do what the pros are doing then who are you trying to play like. Look at the decisions the pros do in all the different situations and try to replicate it.

Thanks guys! I thought it was 9 ball for a while haha. Thanks :)

Okay, will do dude. Thanks a lot!!
I can confirm that these guys are good at pool
2 of top 5 players of all times for me. alcano won the world champioship in 2006 if im not mistaken, and i havent seen him missing more than 2 shots per game. its too bad he came when reyes exited his prime.
as for alcano, he said his idol is efren, he has the same mustache as him and some people say that he did an operation on his upper lip to get it looking like one of reyes.
incredible story behind those two masters.
True!
It's actually his teeth alcano ask the dentist to pull it out since efren is toothless lol
I think you guys did a great job!! Better than most of us could ever do ,keep up the good work and thanks for the video !!
at 5:37 it sounded like my stomach was grumbling
Sorry that you didn't get to see any one-pocket from the chuck markulis event. I was mis-informed, i guess.
Wow, incredible display of talent here..
43:29 "oh my god oh my gooooooood... he plays sooooo good." hahaha!
One of the commentator is gay
Hey you're seeing pro pool matches for free, don't complain too much.
the voice teen
the voice teen
What track starts the clip?
what a great analogy, The Pool Gods and the "Moon Rock" which has no light of its own but the light the operator gives it.
smoooth operator
34:00 - how did ronnie hit that stun follow off the cushion on the 8 ball? from the camera's angle, that was an insane shot to be able to control the cue-ball with a shot at that force. amazing shape....
31:00 Crazy run
Pool is the funniest sport ever and it is fun for everyone!!
I mean funnest
It was a hell of a hit, definitely deserved a little applause
Who is live streaming the one pocket in Sacramento?
Commentators on drugs or what?
+leon voulgaris - Yes! We have a very strict policy that if you are not carrying or under the influence of copious amounts of mind altering substances, then you are not welcome.
Thats cool.
+leon voulgaris - lol
+leon voulgaris I agree, carom is a billiard? What he didn't hit a ball then 3 rails
+leon voulgaris Pure nut huggers.
thanks for the response Truman. Takes a big person to admit they can grow. Sure you will be much better next time. Look forward to it.
announcers sound stoned
Yah
Thanks for posting this. I've never seen Efren so inconsistent.
I believe you are right... Dennis does appear to hit the 2 first.
Great great match! they play with smaller pocket and still do the same level as they are!
Woooooow..... Oh my God, Straight aggravating !!!
Looks like a fun time
Hard times for Efren
12:30 hilarious skill shot
yes u will have a problem but with enough practice u get used to it u must play on tables with blue cloth a lot some tines its hard to see the 2 ball on a blue cloth so people that play on blue will have trouble with the green 6 on green cloth / and people that play often on blue will have trouble on 2 ball begin blue but with enough table time u get used to it so practice practice practice just pick one color table and stick to it i suggest blue since most tournaments use blue
That was a great shot too! (At 21 min)
26:16 Oh! Didn't expect that from Efren. We're all human I guess.
Yeah. It was great to watch two masters of the game, but I couldn't deal with the commentators and muted the sound after 10-15 minutes.
is this the gold crown 2?
Commentator is having constant poolgasms.
Friends What is the name of the type of billiard played in this video?
Ten (10) ball.
13:10 was pretty sick
Ronnie Cue is just so amazing, lots of power and stun ball shots.
These commentators sound like this is the first time they've ever seen a pool game. Lol.
I was a darn good pool player in my day but even so, I wasn't near this guys caliber.
I love how the Philipinos play
Plenty of Philippine channels now. Try JefGaling.
And for the announcers... keep ur head up guys its not as easy up there as it seems and if u truely love the game its easy to get caught up in good play... keep the vids comeing and practice practice practice;)
he shot it at 2;30 o'clock forcing the cue ball to bump the rail and the counter-english so that it moves downwards away from the rail, instead of moving forward.
Amazing Kick at 13 min
You mean "The Pool God Plays"
Ronato ONLY won ONE 8-ball and ONE 9-ball world title, whereas Efren has won over FOUR 8-ball world titles alone.
@5:00 easy to tell the difference between THE Pool God and this Alcano guy, who needs lessons in position play.
That first table run was insane.
Good match
good stuff, thanks for posting this
He was supposed to hit the 2-ball first. That was a 5-ball that went in (it's orange, I got confused at the beginning of the match :P).
at 42:00 minutes the 9th game the commentators explain the causes and effects of dirty/chalked up balls what is exactly what my recent video I posted about “why you need to clean your cue and balls” and what can happen. Especially if both cue and object balls have chalk on them when they hit each other massive throw can happen or like the old truck to put chalk in two balls then freeze them together for trick shots.
idk about all the drama i think it was great all around remember its about the pool love the video its one of my favorite matches
great bird sound at 10:00
that was amazing how the commentators didn't know Efren was selling the game
By the way I like commentary. Isn't the best I've heard and isn't the worst. At least they are watching the match, unlike some commentators who talk about everything under the sun and don't even comment on the match. I don't mind some enthusiasm.

Thanks Mark. I still did do a bad job though! I look forward to working on it. :)
No sir, I watch soooo many matches on TH-cam and you are, by far my favorite commentator. Sincerity and reactions were absolutely priceless. It shows that you truly love the game. Kudos to you, sir. Please do more commentating and tag me when you do!
Shot at 10ish minute mark is a billiard.. carom is when you pocket a ball by hitting an object ball and having that object ball strike another object ball. Shooting the cue ball into an object ball and having the cue ball hit and pocket another ball is a billiard shot. bad explanation but it's the difference lol. Cool game.
dear commentators, the shot at 9:57 is call "carom", not "billiard".
I know right!
21:26 what? Is it even possible? Or just Bata Reyes?
21:28.. Efren's God like talent
where does that dennis came from??,,its efren and ronnie
These guys are so high lol
holy shit that shot 51:57
5-ball and a 2-ball. It was the 5-ball off the 2-ball combo ;)
the magician, more like, the master. guy doesnt even look at his drawback shots, just knows, played so much
Great vid pov! Kept it up!
Game 7 : WOW
36:06
This video was easier to watch with the sound muted.
Yes, I know I was watching the match at 3am. I still stand by my words
21:27 Damn.
that miscue by Efron at the 26th minute was surprising, smurf dust is free fellas!
ToGetToTerrapin Who's Efron?
misspelled "Efren", a thousand pardons. He's a boss... at least I didn't call him "Efrem" like the announcers often mispronounce it...
andy chen is streaming it. andy of la . c o m
amazing
lol you actually replied. In any case, thumbs up to you for great effort.
