Buddy Hall VS Efren Reyes. In Texas.
Hello Richie,
The best match I can think of is when Buddy Hall stopped Efren Reyes in Texas in a match for 10K. Efren had won the tournament and all kinds of money from all of the good players. Buddy came down from his room and drink coffee for an hour to sober up. They played 10 ball for 10K. Buddy Hall was the only man to beat Efren when he came to the USA for the first time. He was using another name at the time. But it was in fact Efren.
Many Regards,
Lock N Load.

I think Busti did string several racks in the last set... I am thinking it was 5... I am not real sure. I wish I would have kept track of the total number of racks ran... What a great match!
The Color of Money match from '96 was pretty epic.
ONe of the best money games i saw happened in my *local* pool hall in the late 80s. A german guy *Schmitty* (nickname) came to my town. He was a real newcomer in the scene but was already superstrong-especially in moneygames. I had the luck that i knew him already, and he was really pissed when he entred the room with his *stakehorse and friend* and i called him by his name saying hello^^.
I then called up a guy he wanted to play. One of the strongest moneyplayers in germany at that time.
In the evening both started to play 9ball. Iirc a set to 5 for 500bucks.
the local guy was in front--and Schmittly asked him to double the amount of bucks-but the local hero denied.
Then i was on the toilet washing my hands (i racked up for them). And heard Schmitty talking to his stakehorse-- no i will kill this wimp-he denied.
He got back to the table and ran out 3 complete sets in a row- 5:0 5:0 5:0 by makin 6 9balls on the break. Then the opponent unfortunatley stopped playing.
Schmitty really played the most aggressive and best 9b i saw for money. Impressive.
2nd best happened to me personally. I played my best pool ever in a trainingsmatch of straightpool til 1000 points. I lost 1000:428 in 19 innings. Seeing 326, 281 and a 170+ in one match. It was impressive and hurting at same time-playing myself he best i was able to and having not a chance. One i remember exactly was, that i made a 90+ following a 80-proud like hell and my friend answered then from zero making a 326- i missed and he followed with a 170+ .........today i can smile and enjoy it. but at that night i was a bit pissed ^^

Medina took a shot at effie then, and got bar bee cued....
Johnny is smart and well aware of ''blowin' you wad'' in one set. Busty was waaaaaaaaaaay more rested/obviously and shoulda just bumped it up another $500 but got greedy.
I played in that tournament and watched that match. I doubt there was more than a couple safeties played the whole time.
Ronny Allen , a fast player himself, was playing on the table next to them and his match was into the second game when Cecil won.
I believe that was the Sands Regency Open 21 finals. Accu-stats S21-11d.
How have you been doing Island Drive?
Efren beat all comers except Buddy Hall. And won the big event. Every one knew who Efren was after that session. And they already knew who Buddy Hall was.

Best pool match I've ever seen was the final of the WPC nine ball (2004?), a race to seventeen, in which Wu Chia Ching came to the table down 16-12 to Po Cheng Kuo and ran five racks and out to capture the World nine ball championship. I saw it on stream and it was surely one of the greatest clutch performances in pool history.
I suspect if I'd seen it, I'd put the Efren vs Earl Color of Money match above it, but I missed that one.

The ones here are pretty darn good:
Enjoy,

Two others come to mind, with both giving me the goosebumps. When Tommy Kennedy DRILLED Archer in the finals of the US Open 9 ball....Plus when Earl put the ten pack for a MiL Against Nick ? Mannino, who was George Breedloves best man when he married J. Lee/Black Widow.
