They are still playing. Set is race to 7 for lots of cheese. I believe it is 9 or 10 to six. Efren looks like he is playing well.
Bobby runs ball but moving a little weak to fool with Efren. He needs 10/5 and might not like that.
If you get a chance to watch Efren, take it. There will never be another like him.
I watched a bit, kids way outta line from what I've seen, unless it's lemonade.
Efren has way the best of it. Bobby can run balls, but the moving is weak against a top player. Looks like he was getting 9/6, that is not enough.
I played Bobby a few times 2/3 years ago and when he was on, he ran 8 and out til I was dizzy, but that was against me, not Efren. When he wasn't running 8 and out he didn't like it.
Efren looked good and ready for a run at the tournaments coming up. Hope he makes it to Hard Times in Sacramento next month.

I agree, at least not in our lifetime.
I have played the best players in the last 50 years, all of them, and yes there have been some great players but they weren't in Efren's class...:sorry Efren has earned my respect as a one pocket player more than any other player that I have ever played or watched play in the last 50 years...all of them...not even close....Reyes in his prime ran balls better than anyone..played the cue ball better than anyone....kicked better than anyone....and played pool better than anyone. Even today at his age, no one...no one...has to like it, and probably wont.

We have all heard of his game slipping recently, but he looked pretty good here, toying with a young gun who is a pretty good player when he is matched up right.
Efren still has too many weapons for any except the very best, and they may not like it. I hope we see him at the Markulis Memorial at Hard Times in Sacramento and the US Open One Pocket in Reno. Lots of great one pocket coming up.

Thanks for putting that link up. It's the only time I've ever seen Efren play and was well worth the time spent watching it.
Actually John, Bobby plays an exotic game, especially with the cue ball. He's actually very creative, however, his pedal is always on the metal. He would be a good game for me, I think it would be gambling if we played. He's going to give me shots that i'm probably not going to want to shoot. Would be interesting.Efren has way the best of it.

Just got to hard times. Bobby is playing Santos
I think that included a shot where Efren fell out of line by dropping lower on a cut shot to his corner than he wanted. He was kind of mad at himself, but he still had a thin cut to his pocket, so he got down real intensely and put some extreme inside draw voodoo stroke on the shot and the cue ball went up table and reversed back down for perfect shape to finish his run out. Yeah, the crowd went nuts. I think Alex bowed -- like got right on the floor and prostrated himself, but maybe that was a different match. In any case, it was out of this world One PocketFor onepocket.org users, it should be mandatory to watch the DVD of the DCC One Pocket finals and semi-finals from around 2006 (??). Efren just destroys Alex P. and then Jason Miller. Anybody remember the details and have a link?
It was the most perfect one pocket I've ever seen and expect to ever see. I'm pretty sure Billy was the commentator and could describe it much better than me.
