Reyes vs White
- Thread starter arps
- Start date
Gonna be exciting to see 2 veterans of their respective game match up.
Efren need no intrduction and for those who dont know Jimmy, he is a child prodigy in snooker who started off standing on coke crates hustling oldies since he was 8 and made a couple 147's in his career know as the whirlwind for his fast exciting loose play

Hopefully it will be as exciting.

Wow did you see that Reyes shot White pulled off on Reyes at 4:40??
Wow Filling Station love this place,. Used to hang around here and P Burgos area when was in Manila years ago. The rack gals here can rack with only their hands

White probably better know as greatest player never to win World Championship. He is like the Ivan Lendl of pool.
IMHO Efren is the slight favorite in this
Look carefully at the poster- see the 9ball there ?

If I'm reading this right.....
Free admission,free lunch,free bar and there are rack girls that rack the balls and only use their hands when racking......!?
This event trend needs to catch on more for pool in the states!

Jimmy White must feel very comfortable in the Philippines.......
....unlike a lot of the UK snooker pros, he and his childhood friend, Tony Meo, were action
hounds and scufflers by the age of 15.....because of this, they both played pro-level
before they were old enough to drink legally.
Jimmy honed his game on action, just like the Pinoys and our road players......
.....it isn't always about coaching in austere surroundings.....

Admission looks to be 5,000 which is over $100 in USD. And it's a race to 10. That's like 1.5 hours if it goes hill-hill maybe, not what $100 in pool money should buy.
That last part about trophy presentation is free, but also "free bar"? So you can show up at the end, hang out and get free drinks?

I am actually selling a signed jimmy white snooker cue

In what sense? That comparison seems a bit harsh on Lendl, in my opinion.
Definitely interested in streaming as well.
He is comparing Wimbledon to the Snooker World Championships I guess...
Best players never to win those respective trophies in their respective fields.
Spent many a night at the Filling Station, lots of fun!!
But why only a Race to 10 in 9 ball? Seems rather short....

Jimmy White has lost in the finals six times for the world pro snooker title.
He did win the world amateur at the age of 18.
