I read somewhere awhile back that if you want to play Efren these days, then you must give him a spot. That might only be true in the Philippines though.
If you buy the spread on youtube, all of the old garde have been getting games on the wire for some time and more recently - couple years maybe longer, extra balls. Seems like a normal economic progression.
Just like most money games in the small billiard clubs in the Philippines, it's a packed house, and there's so much movement and sharking going on throughout the match. I truly believe this has at least a small affect on the psyche of the top players from there when they compete abroad. They're already programmed to tune it out.
One other thing of note, it appears even Efren doesn't take his regular cue into some of the local establishments. I don't believe that's the same cue he's been playing with in tournaments of late.

why are they racking the 8 as second ball? efren even wins by making it on the break
The only thing I can think of is that they appeared to be racking the same way the whole game so the other fellow had the chance to sink the 8 on the break and take it away from Efren.
Exactly... no need to wonder why these young guys come out from over there already world beaters spotting Efrin the 8
Efren is going to be 88 years old this year....
...and on bad tables, home room edge is like giving up the 7/8 for the visitor.
Efren Reyes
Filipino pool player, nicknamed The Magician and Bata, is a Filipino professional pool player. A winner of over 80 international titles, Reyes was the first player to win world championships in two different disciplines in pool.
Born: August 26, 1954 (age 65 years), Angeles, Philippines
Was in the PI in my younger years (active duty AF)...he's a legend over there but what you don't see are all the little "Efrens" (not his children) running around that are playing every day to scratch out a living. They are all deadly on the table and play like their lives depend on it.
