The legendary “The Magician,” Efren Reyes, will be playing.
He doesn’t pocket balls like he did in his prime, but he still understands One Pocket shots and strategy better than anyone.
It’s a real treat to watch him play.

Really looking forward to this, Thanks Terry.

Good to see all those guys going to Buff's and not going to chase points at the Scottish Open pre UK Open event.

Yes I agree, possibly large sums of loot and only one mile away from https://rubybrunch.com

Alex is recovering from a shoulder injury that’s still healing, and it will most likely keep him sidelined for the next few weeks.
We were hoping he’d be ready to compete, but for now it looks like that won’t happen.
The good news is that Alex will still be joining us for live expert commentary.
His overall pool knowledge is second to none, especially when it comes to elite-level One Pocket shots, strategy, and decision-making.
This should be a great learning experience for everyone watching as he breaks down the shots and explains the game from his perspective.

Congratulations to Francisco “Django” Bustamante on winning the 2026 Buffalo’s Pro Classic 1 Ball One Pocket Division!

Django battled through a stacked field and once again showed why he’s one of the most dangerous players in the game.

Great finish as well for Evan Lunda, taking 2nd Place after a strong run against top-level competition.

Excellent shooting by both players!

The Main Event kicks off today at 6 PM!

The Players Auction starts first, followed immediately by the 1st Round matches as the action gets underway at Buffalo’s Pro Classic!

Could they start with a silent auction? That's where each name is on a sheet of paper and you write in your bid.

Still going at 2HR. Doing Deuel right now. People don't like their money to put $5K on him. The over was easy money.
