I'm not sure if this has been posted or not. This might be one of the greatest sequence of safeties ever and it has an amazing ending!

A great safety sequence and much appreciated by the crowd. Foldes needed to get the nine a little closer, but he did pretty well for how far he had to move it.

I saw a world champion miss the same chance to get his opponent on three. The opponent made the mistake of fouling and rolling a ball up to the ball on for his second foul. The champion failed to roll a last ball up to complete the knot and instead tried for a thin hit to leave a long shot.

I had not seen that- but I did hear tale of someone doing it gambling on the East COast (Putnam? Bartram?).

You want a safety battle?:

I played Varner in the first World Summit of Pool in New York City. Anyone who saw my match would have said I played pretty well. The first game had a six-inning exchange on the 1-ball. Then, Varner put me in a position where I had ABSOLUTELY nothing. Even if I kicked the ball in, I was screwed. I fouled. The next chance I had, it was 6-0. I ended up losing 10-0 and had nothing more to say than the man might be one of the greatest 9-ball players ever.

Even though the whole world might want to play like Efren, I have to wonder if Efren is trying to play like Varner!

I like that game that Django and Chao played, billed as the greatest game of 9 ball ever played. That was an amazing game.

Great game but I don't know if I'd call it the greatest ever. It was only called that by the poster...
