A friend of mine played with Efrain back in the 90's and Joe was playing straight pool with Dallas West at the time. He played Efrain 9 ball and he asked Efrain does he play straight pool and Efrain said not really. Joe asked Efrain why he said well to be honest the game takes to long to play and is not a good game to play for money. Now I wasn't there but that is what Joe told me. I watched a match between Reyes against Rempe and Reyes was just playing straight pool like he has been playing for years.if i remember correctly , ortmann won the 1993 us open ?!
efren played the 2012 world 14.1 by accident , he was there for the world class 3 cushion tournament in the same location .
schmidt vs reyes 2012 was one of the best straight pool finals ive ever saw .
