Yup, he was one of the first to beat Efren, the match took place at Hardtimes and was a race to 3 for a win and then first to 4 wins. I believe Efren won the first two races to 3 and then Cecil won the next four. JJ Jenkins has it on tape. A funny scene on the tape is after the match is over and Cecil has the cash in hand Keith McCready appears in the picture woofing at Cecil to play him some even (this right after Cecil just beat the best player in the world).

Sorry, for the 'question' about the frozen ball.
I see, that I have to answer a question correctly before posting another question...

Oh man. That was the worst answer I've seen !
Here's the answer I already tried to give out in brief, even before wayne... Taken from the WPA rule 6.7 in 14.1:
"When an object ball is not frozen to a cushion, but is within a ball's width of a cushion (referee to determine by measurement if necessary), a player is permitted only two consecutive legal safeties on that ball using only the near rail. If such safety play is employed, that object ball is then considered frozen to the rail on the player's next inning. The General Rules of Pocket Billiards "Frozen Balls" requirements apply if the player chooses to make the first cue ball contact with that object ball on the third shot."

ya got it correct... right from the rule book.
It is also considered frozen if you are on two fouls. In the game of 14.1

My answer is by far better than yours (unless you have no sense of humour and want to be technical). I have never had anyone call it frozen based on your knowledge of some obscure rule but anyone that has played a lot has had balls called "frozen" that when examined closely weren't.

You have a point there... I've been working as a referee as well and sometimes changing the viewing angle tells you more about the possible frozen ball.
Actually, I think there is another way to get the object ball frozen to the rail without actually touching the rail but you need a huuuge freezer and then you...
Ah, stupid pun joke. Shows that I have no sense of humour. But, I tried my best...

Hey, not a bad effort at the humour. LOL
I find the ones that are extremely close to frozen but aren't can be determined by changing the viewing angle and creating a shadow with your hand, if you can see that sliver of daylight it isn't frozen.
