So glad you do this for us Daniel. I miss California SO much. Keep up the great work, and pay no mind to these knuckleheads knocking the commentary. We're fortunate you take the time and expense to stream these awesome players
Gamblo Duck as "annoying" the announcer is he kind of grows on you after about 20 videos or so. And you have to think if shes hosting the players there must be a respect level there. Great comment btw
Wow amazing match. I've always enjoyed playing pool but never tried to do it in a competitive setting. I just started playing APA matches and am having the time of my life, watching players like Orcollo and Van Boening is amazingly inspirational. They really know how to make this game an art.
back last year shane commentated for the Clash of Titans tournament (videos are here in youtube) and he opined that the best player in the planet right now is dennis orcollo, even mentioning dennis is the toughest to beat in challenge matches. my top 3 players right now is orcollo, ko pin yi, and shane. it would be fun to watch these guys do a race to 120 just like what they do in TAR tournaments.
I've seen Dennis practice here in the Phils. He practices so much on his break and how the rack is made up. If the rack isn't done consistently you wouldn't get consistent breaks. It looks bad because it becomes mechanical but from what I've seen from Dennis' practice, its no joke figuring out the break shot. He really works hard on perfecting his break.
Leave jay helfert alone, he is a great commentator, l like LISTENING to his detailed observation, he has a good DJ voice, keep going jay, don't let these negative people bring u down, u are very knowledgeable when it comes to pool n poker. I'm a fan of yours, from Allan calypso ENCISO
povpool - iv not played 10 ball in any tournaments but im going to one soon. What is the typical rules in 10 ball? i know it is not 9 ball with an extra ball so what the differences?
Definitely not the one-sided beating most people would expect. I knew who won before I watched it but I heard how one-sided the match was. Funny ending was well! He was so focused!
thank so much for posting these videos i and many other people enjoy these so much and also for the commenators for taking time to do this also pls do not quit posting these great matches pay no mind to the whiners pissers and moaners and complainers these people usually have no life and are miserable and just have to say something negative
The other day, Dennis was playing a practice 9 ball match ($50) with another Pinoy pro player. It was a race to 16, Dennis lost 16-13. There were 4 instances when Dennis broke dry. The balls really didn't get good rolls. After the match, he concluded through experiment that the balls weren't racked consistently (because it was not really a big time match, the guy racking wasn't a pro referee). He eventually figured out the break within 15 practice break shots.
dennis is in his prime. its so hard to beat him. his opponent must be equally talented and breaks of the game must be on his opponent"s side in order to beat him. proud to be pinoy.
I remember back in the late 90's i watched Gabica run 13 racks straight against Dennis. after being stuck from his chair, Dennis got his turn, then scratched after his 2nd shot. He was so angry that he just laughed a curse very loud. then everybody laughed. Antonio Gabica broke the rack and played very consistently that day. the game ended 17-3 Gabica. =))
By the way Mike Zuglan's northeast Joss tour is the original. All others are imitations of great tournament play!! And yes Zuglan still shoots lights out!!!!!!
Except for the wobble in the middle of the match, Dennis played some of the best 10-ball I have ever seen. Shane made some bad errors, but I think part of that was the pressure Dennis put him under.
That strategy was tried in the 90s but it was abandoned because it virtually eliminates safety play, which makes the game not as interesting. I agree, they should have a time limit but maybe 45 seconds. In the Mosconi cup. I think they have a 30 sec shot clock with one extension allowed per game.
Jay doesn't know what to say. I suspect he's Alvin's cousin. They always do commentary as if the audience has never seen a pool table. They dramatize a simple kick, as if it's nearly impossible and they never shut up. A joy to mute.
Dennis is using a Tiger TL-3 Cue made by Tiger Products, which are now discontinued. There are only 2 left in stock at Tiger which I can make available to you if you're interested. Email me at daniel@tigerproducts.com. Seyberts Billiard Supply also has a few left in stock. With and Irish linen wrap and one shaft, this cue will sell for around $940 but if you want one directly from Tiger with a leather wrap, additional shaft and a cue extension kit, you should contact me.
Oh crap. LOL - I didn't watch this. I got mixed up and thought this was the Orcollo match with Jayson Shaw which, was 2 years after this one. Yeah - I'm not sure what he was using here. Maybe a Schon or a Tim Scruggs. I'll have to ask him when I see him this coming July. Sorry bout that.
I think he is using a Ted Harris cue in this match. There is a bulletin about Dennis using a Ted Harris cue after his Southwest cue with a 314 shaft warped.
@25:30 That was not a bad kick.. the shot was definitely there. Dennis was trying to use draw to shorten the angle off the rail with a little english. I liked his shot better than jumping at it
+Teodoro Jr. Quindara efren isnt close to being the best money player rn, hes getting spotted balls or getting rack advantages just to compete with the talent of today. hes still good but money player i would say dennis and alex are killing it right now
I've been listening to Jay Helfertfor years, and usualy he's fine. Unfortunately here Jay, I'm sorry to say, you made it hard for me to even watch this amazing match. You grind the most obvious observations into the ground, and even though you are a commentating here, you are commentating way to much and too often. Take a breath! Also, when you were stating that it was super quiet for a packed house and dennis missed that ball, I think you probably had something to do with it. LESS IS MORE, JAY!
Right. And golfers should have to sprint to their ball after hitting their tee shots, because nobody would ever watch a game where it takes 5 minutes between shots.
Yeah, I think these commentators just need to stop trying to fill all silence. Silence is good. Watch a couple pool geniuses and quiet down. Also mute the video and listen to music.
Not only is repeating himself annoying. The "absoluteness" of the commentary is unbelievable. Saying stuff like, "Dennis is thinking about ...", and, "There's NO way Shane will shoot at that...", is ridiculous. Pretty much EVERY time the commentator said something, the shooters went and did what he said wouldn't happen. I had to eventually turn the audio off.
then why is pool not watched like golf? people give golf that respect, obviously they are not for pool. when you watch golf, there are multiple players that can be watched, when you watch a pool match you are stuck watching one guy take 5 min to walk around the table 5 times, chaulk his stick 6 times, get into his stance 3 times only to get back up and walk around the table again. it needs to be faster paced.
why when someone ask a question on here people have to get defensive haha. look dude i dont care what size table it is, get past that and take your blinders off, some of these players are way too slow. the general audience is not interested in watching that.
@ 30:18 Filipinos say they got lucky because they're humble people and also to give respect to the other guy not because they felt fortunate to win. They all expect to win but they will never say it out loud. Do you really think Efren "The GOAT", feels lucky to win a match? You got to read between the lines dude. Don't ever take that statement at face value.
How many times did Dennis smash the break and the cue ball just back up to exact center table and stop. That is phenomenal.
Video published on May 2012, but description says match was on July 2013, thats quite interesting to say the least
is the same as denis played. you should just O_O
Shane is a time traveler, that's why he's so consistent.
Walrus

13:23 That commentators laugh, hahaha
+Max Watson Yeah its pretty bad, you could list a page of times where he laughs like a pig.

Nice vids, surprised I haven't seen your channel before
really had fun watching this , thnx

Insanely smart shot at 19:46. I can’t believe he planned it and executed flawlessly!
people always whining about the commentators be appreciative. anyways another great upload from povpool keep up the great work.
WOW! AMAZING! THEY ARE SO GOOD! SUPER DUPER! THEY ARE THE BEST PLAYERS EVER!
I have to agree with other who have posted earlier - less is more when it come to the commentary
povpool - iv not played 10 ball in any tournaments but im going to one soon. What is the typical rules in 10 ball? i know it is not 9 ball with an extra ball so what the differences?
Definitely not the one-sided beating most people would expect. I knew who won before I watched it but I heard how one-sided the match was. Funny ending was well! He was so focused!

Love Dennis's game. So simple yet so deadly.
Two giants of the game.

Why does everbody say orcullio if his Name is orcollo
link to live streams?
What is the rack that they are using? I have never seen that before
dennis is totally in the zone. respect to SVB for taking the beat well unlike Mika Immonen in the previous final.
Why do they shoot with the rack on the table? what sorta rack is that?
8:08...listen carefully...you could smell that fart 😂
abdullah alamri omg lmao! 😂😂😂😂
Dude I laughed so hard pepsi shot out of my nose! DON'T DO THAT!!
00:13:25
Who hears it?
Wow dennis is like a machine. Very hard to beat someone when you're in that zone.
what is the size of that billiard table ?
wth is that thing they are setting up the break with? looks like a plastic film? and it stays on the table during the break?
It's called a magic rack. Racks the balls tight everytime.
No hay de nuevo
when was this first used and who made them?
That magic rack is made in Japan
I like the turtle rack better.
Why does every commentator call him Dennis Orcoolio?
here in our country dennis Orcollo make money via money games and he is so good at it
Dude I agree it's SO nice in our country 🇧🇪 Belgium!
Nice video. Thanks alot!
@1:11:00"Get outta my life four ball!" hahahaha
how big is the tip of the cues that they use? i want to buy a pool cue but dont know what size tip to get
KYR JAMESEY as long as its just the tip, you'll be fine
Should be around 58 inches.
go with 13mm shaft for the start.
dennis is in his prime. its so hard to beat him. his opponent must be equally talented and breaks of the game must be on his opponent"s side in order to beat him. proud to be pinoy.

Van Boening is wicked good, can't believe he was dominated.
its like you took the words out of my mouth, in fact when dennis missed that 4 ball, I was like why is he talking like this. lol
That strategy was tried in the 90s but it was abandoned because it virtually eliminates safety play, which makes the game not as interesting. I agree, they should have a time limit but maybe 45 seconds. In the Mosconi cup. I think they have a 30 sec shot clock with one extension allowed per game.
i didnt say it was a tv match. its sanctioned right? they are too slow.
Jay doesn't know what to say. I suspect he's Alvin's cousin. They always do commentary as if the audience has never seen a pool table. They dramatize a simple kick, as if it's nearly impossible and they never shut up. A joy to mute.
thx
What cue is dennis using in this match?
Dennis is using a Tiger TL-3 Cue made by Tiger Products, which are now discontinued. There are only 2 left in stock at Tiger which I can make available to you if you're interested.

That's the cue that he is currently using. But i think he is using a different cue in this match which i want to know
Oh crap. LOL - I didn't watch this. I got mixed up and thought this was the Orcollo match with Jayson Shaw which, was 2 years after this one. Yeah - I'm not sure what he was using here. Maybe a Schon or a Tim Scruggs. I'll have to ask him when I see him this coming July. Sorry bout that.
POVPOOL thank you sir
I think he is using a Ted Harris cue in this match. There is a bulletin about Dennis using a Ted Harris cue after his Southwest cue with a 314 shaft warped.
@25:30 That was not a bad kick.. the shot was definitely there. Dennis was trying to use draw to shorten the angle off the rail with a little english. I liked his shot better than jumping at it
Nice game.
Shane always miss that shoot in warm up ik he trying different dwars and stuff
give the guy a bottle of water..hell its JAY lol
720p my pasty white ass, there are VHS converted uploads with better quality than this.
filipino players are the BEST pool player in the world ...congrats dennis for winning the 2012 us open ...go pinoys make the motherland proud
wow ive never seen ten ball like this. Dennis makes this game look like shooting fish I a barrel
dennis had a hard battle that he fatigue on easy balls after finishing hard balls! while shane is stuck at three games!
What? Jay snorting?
Jay is a great commentator
efren bata reyes the magician from philippines is one of the best i like earl strickland also
Dennis always wins
By the way, his name is pronounced "Or-col-yo" and NOT the south american way of "Or-co-yo". Props Dennis.
whats the time limit on shots?
i think it should 8 or 10 seconds max. just too slow for TV
The best money player is EFREN "MAGICIAN" REYES, he started with money game and until now, he is still on it. And still winning.
+Teodoro Jr. Quindara efren isnt close to being the best money player rn, hes getting spotted balls or getting rack advantages just to compete with the talent of today. hes still good but money player i would say dennis and alex are killing it right now
+TheeOneUp efren is old already, but in his prime he's a kick ass
These guys cant pronounce anything...
I've been listening to Jay Helfertfor years, and usualy he's fine. Unfortunately here Jay, I'm sorry to say, you made it hard for me to even watch this amazing match. You grind the most obvious observations into the ground, and even though you are a commentating here, you are commentating way to much and too often. Take a breath! Also, when you were stating that it was super quiet for a packed house and dennis missed that ball, I think you probably had something to do with it. LESS IS MORE, JAY!
That pattern racking though...
Dennis Orcullo is an amazing player, but that is pretty disappointing.
Henry Lee Corey pattern racks, and soft breaks, as do a lot of players.
Right. And golfers should have to sprint to their ball after hitting their tee shots, because nobody would ever watch a game where it takes 5 minutes between shots.
Helfert reminds me of a radio broadcaster from the 50's or 60's, assuming you can't see anything that is going on. Ridiculous. IMO
Jay is a DRAMA QUEEN when commentating.. hehe :)
these guys need to learn how to set up a camera jesus
Kudos to Jay for his comment at @52:11 .. lol
This commentating is terrible. These players don't shoot impossible shots, just cuz they miss doesn't mean it wasn't possible. Just terrible IMO
Dennis gear is deadly
Tony watson is a great money player
Dannis tried a draw shot of the rail for that one ball.
Pretty much like nine except you have to call your shots, no junk shots.
12:47 theyre pretty deep
I know shane can play but these announcers are always sweating him any player be beaten on a given day.
Yeah, I think these commentators just need to stop trying to fill all silence. Silence is good. Watch a couple pool geniuses and quiet down. Also mute the video and listen to music.
funniest thing is orcollo won the game but he didn't even realise it.
one of the commentators is really annoying and keeps on snoring everynow and then ... sucks!
Looks like an 8t table to me.
Why does Jay have to say everything twice, everything twice? It's really annoying, really annoying.
Not only is repeating himself annoying. The "absoluteness" of the commentary is unbelievable. Saying stuff like, "Dennis is thinking about ...", and, "There's NO way Shane will shoot at that...", is ridiculous. Pretty much EVERY time the commentator said something, the shooters went and did what he said wouldn't happen. I had to eventually turn the audio off.
Jay 2 Times, is his gangster name.
I know, right? I know, right?
@1:11:11 Uhh Jay, he wants to kill it.. kill it!?
Talk about focus. Losing track of the score.
y this commentator so noisy?? they think that we are blind??
then why is pool not watched like golf? people give golf that respect, obviously they are not for pool. when you watch golf, there are multiple players that can be watched, when you watch a pool match you are stuck watching one guy take 5 min to walk around the table 5 times, chaulk his stick 6 times, get into his stance 3 times only to get back up and walk around the table again. it needs to be faster paced.
couple of goofball announcers here.
Dennis de menace came out from orcollo
jay elfert is an absolute tool,, I think he just loves to hear himself talk
why when someone ask a question on here people have to get defensive haha. look dude i dont care what size table it is, get past that and take your blinders off, some of these players are way too slow. the general audience is not interested in watching that.
None.
imagine if you can win $5000 a night by playing your favorite sport billiard wow...
There actually 3 7/8th's to be exact. Ha
@13:24 hahahaha
@ 30:18 Filipinos say they got lucky because they're humble people and also to give respect to the other guy not because they felt fortunate to win. They all expect to win but they will never say it out loud. Do you really think Efren "The GOAT", feels lucky to win a match? You got to read between the lines dude. Don't ever take that statement at face value.
Every table should be just like hard times
pucha dennis anlaki ng tiyan mo! jogging tayo hanggang kila mang bebot sa binangonan. LOL
this is the magic rack, google it
I can do without the violent metaphors like having your foot on the neck of your opponent. It's a POOL game..
lol
