ANGRY Syrian Player ARGUES with EFREN REYES; Instantly Regrets it. 

Efren is a Grandmaster at pool he's beaten much better more quickly, but he wanted to teach this one a lesson.

Nothing? I'd say straight up cheating is worse. There's also sandbagging. False starts is up there. Messing with the table, balls, or cues is another. I mean, the list goes on.

Not even pearl harbour?

Apart from people actually fouling deliberately in the first place. Sounds like a stupid American thing to introduce deliberate fouling into the game.

True

Actually when the ref say's it's a foul then it's a foul and not if the player say's it's a foul. Efren could not see from his position if the 5 got hit or not. Also on the video you can not clearly see it. So in the end there would be a video assistant recquired.

@@udtojanpestillos2094 There is no referee you dumbass.

I'm pretty sure Efren knows the Rules... lol

why would there be no ref

you sound like a slave

Yeah imagine arguing with Efren Reyes. It would be like arguing with physics or to put it more frankly, gravity. If you jump you will end up falling. If world number 1's can't even keep up with him how is this guy? haha

It was not CLEARLY a foul. It was a foul by mere millimeters. The only reason we can tell is bc we got to watch it several times in slow motion.

@@corbakai4780 Come on. I know pool, snooker and billiards better than you.

If the ball is frozen to cushion then it’s 100% a foul

Do you know the chance of the ball Frozen to the cushion is verrrryyyyyy small? There usually is a small gap between the ball and the cushion. But no one can tell from watching it here. You really need to be there. To look. And since efren didnt ask the ref to watch/check if the ball was indeed touching the cushion. Benefit of the doubt will usually be that it had that small gap.

@@leejy2 There is no freaking referee.

I dont play much pool, can you explain that rule for me plz?

I mean ur a dicck then, why not explain the rules if they dont know

Nope...,at the end humility set in for that guy and he was like damn..., I'm not ready.

Based on where efren was sitting it’s very hard to make that call. If the cue ball contacted the rail then there is a good chance the object ball could have been blushed by cue ball when the object ball being frozen.. also the shooter was standing over it and watching it over head. I doubt he lie in that position. So the game should have continued…

The number on the 5 ball stayed the same if it was hit enough for it to bounce on the cushion then the number should have moved. It was the right call because the cue only touched the 5 ball. Newton’s first law and 3rd law would justify this.

@@GeekFreak007 u can brush a ball which is frozen to the rail without moving the ball from the rail because the rail absorb the hit…

@@leog9844 lol that's impossible. Go ahead make a video of you doing it and see if you can hit the ball light enough for it not to move while it's stuck to the rail. I'll be waiting😁

The only thing that we don't know on sight is whether or not the 5 ball is frozen to the rail. The rest of the situation is clear. The cue ball doesn't make it all the way to the rail, and its final position is resting against the 5. Given that Efren calls a foul, we know that the 5 was in fact frozen to the rail. Given that his opponent was trying to argue that the 5 was hit, he doesn't understand the problem. The rules regarding a table scratch are: The cue ball must make contact with a legal ball before any other ball (in 9 ball only the lowest numbered ball on the table is the legal first hit, in 8 ball hitting any ball of your group first [solids or stripes] is a legal hit). Once contact is made with a legal ball, ANY ball (cue ball, your own, or you opponent's) must be driven into contact with the rail (or go into a pocket). As the rules stand, a ball that is ALREADY touching the rail (frozen) doesn't count as being driven to that rail after contact. For example, even if a ball was frozen and you made it bounce off the rail 4 inches - it's still a table scratch (provided that the cue also never touched a rail afterwards). It's up to both players to determine whether or not a ball is frozen before a shot like this is played. Even a hair's width of space changes the rule. Efren calls it a foul because the 5 must have been frozen. *After* looking at it again, the frozen ball situation seems to be moot, it appears that the hit is so soft that the 5 doesn't move at all (especially not towards the rail), not even to close a half mm gap if it were there. Leaving the rest of the comment as-is so people understand the table scratch rule/ frozen ball rule.

I agree with you. But in this case he is not right. Impossible to see this from his position and even our camera angle doesnt prove a foul from Soufi. So in the end of the day there would be a video assistant recquired.

Efren never do illegal on the game unless he wants to give a lesson to an arrogant. In such case, for me it's justified. Will Efren make a mess especially if he can outdo his opponent.

He kept bringing it up. Isn't that petty and rude? Doesn't seem humble.

@@somesinger1575because he clearly saw it was a foul SIMPLE AS THAT. HE WAS THERE.

@@udtojanpestillos2094EFREN WAS THERE BY HIMSELF NOT US JUST WATCHING ON OUR SCREENS

I would have rather broken my stick in half than argue with Efren.

And Efren plays fair.

its a clickbait/sensationalist title

I love Efren but this channel is a joke

@@BlueMoonDrinker theres alot of pacquiao videos too who got recycled, changed the title to be more clickbait, the title sounds like the pacquiao fight just happened even though it already happened 10 years old

He didn't accept that foul. So this video highlights what efren did after that. And it's funny 😁 😂 😀 🤣.

Looks like they're playing with a "3-point" rule. The 5-ball went in and the 1-ball passed the headstring , so that's 2 points, but no other balls were pocketed and no other balls passed the headstring so he didn't get the required 3 points for a legal break.

@@jasonmiller9738 i guess

​@@jasonmiller9738 thanks for this explanation!

Thanks i was confused by this​@@jasonmiller9738

Thank you our dear subscriber. Stay tuned for more.

@@EfrenReyesTV So petty, so cringy, have some respect. These video is making Filipinos look bad to the international pool/billiards community.

No even if he is a legend he is not a referee. And from the position where he stands it is impossible to see it. Even from our camera angle there is no proove. So there would be a video assistant recquired for that kind of situation. It's like in snooker. Ronnie O'Sullivan thought he was right, but the ref was right in the end of the day. Just if Bata say's its a foul doesnt mean he is right. Same in other sports too.

​@udtojanpestillos2094 technically he is the referee in this game

@@udtojanpestillos2094 Bata didn't need to win by cheating, he never did.

@@udtojanpestillos2094lol idiot!

No one said it was frozen. Was the 5 frozen on the rail?

Im literally in shock I still can't believe it happened ill never get over the fact that the legend was paying attention when it favoured him,doesn't matter if they had an argument I expect the legend to acknowledge everything regardless. He's the champ it's his job to keep it fair. 💔

I refuse to believe he didn't noticed I just can't. He only got one job and he's absolutely the best at it I never expect him to make mistakes....or atleast these types of mistakes....specially when he's a refree

Man you messed me up. why did I even read that huge comment 😭😭

At 14:54, Soufi did sink a ball. However, maybe they’re using the “3 point rule” where a successful break requires 3 balls to reach the head string (or be pocketed). I only saw one pocketed and one come back to the head string, which is insufficient by that rule.

@@rjohnson8ball This is 100% correct. As you pointed out, the 3 point rule requires 3 objects balls to pass or touch the head string (2nd diamond that players break behind). Any ball that's pocketed subtracts from the required number of balls. In this case pocketing one would require two to pass the invisible line. Pocketing two would require one. Failing to do so is not considered a foul but the opponent gets the next shot or can pass the shot back to the opponent (they sometimes have the option to re-break). If the 9-ball is pocketed on a non-compliant break, it's put back on the table.

Absolutely not, there is no major federation that doesn't give the benefit of the doubt to the shooting athlete. Especially not the wpa

@@mr.lootybutthole I was wondering that. I'm familiar that it goes to the shooter in disputes in certain federations. Don't know about wpa

At last someone here with full honesty. The angles we have are inadequate for a conclusive decision. All I'd say is there's no way the cue ball hits the object ball and doesn't move it even a minute fraction. You have to literally skim the paint of a ball to not move it after contact unless the cloth has a nap like a shaggy rug you see in front of fireplaces. So if it was already frozen, it 'looks' to me like a foul from the bad angle we have. If it wasn't already frozen I don't believe it could have been contacted as it was without touching the cushion after.

The 🐐 also ignored the fact that his opponent made a ball on the 13th rack when he broke 😭☠️ Lil buddy was f*ckin around and the 🐐 made sure he'll never find out☠️

I will do that too.

I think at least three balls have to either be potted or pass the breaking line in 9-Ball

@@carogonzalez could u kindly give me a more defined proof of this, because this is my first time hearing about it

same i was very confused

@@adrianfong7911 no I can't because I'm not 100% sure about it, I saw somebody comment it in another match where the same thing happened

3 point break rule.he pockted 5 ball and made 1 ball pass the headstring, that makes 2 points, but since it’s 3 point game he was unsuccessful with his break.

What's the point of competing if you gonna bow to whatever your opponent says just because of their fame or level? .. stay home

​@@poisontutorial If it was any opponent, I would agree. Tons of video of Efren shows he would never lie and has heightened skill at observing what happened.

If it's another opponent ye maybe.. But bro it's Efren the magician Reyes.. The guy is a humble legend he doesn't show any arrogance in any game.. So once he says something he's uttering only truth.. It's not just about he's performance but he's attitude and personality that he is known.. If you don't know him then yes your point is really valid.. But here just saying that guy the magician is honest.

Hi. The 3 Point Break rule is in effect. Illegal break for Soufi in that rack. Thanks for your comment.

@@EfrenReyesTV I wondered the same. Looked up the Rule. Pockets a ball, but only 1 ball came past the head string.

😇😉👍

@@riejon80 😊👋🏻👋🏻☺️

Well put sire

Exactly, most of the comments here focus only the on the orange ball and ignored the white ball. They thought the cue ball bounce once and it hit the target then it's a good shot.

IKR? haha. buncha dick riders in this comment section.

I think it looked really slow, as if the cue ball had disc brakes, because of the cutup way they edited this video.

and he was way way closer and looking at it from a much better angle than anyone else in the room. they should trust him not their own inferior view of it.

I agree@@leesmith9299

And yet he was fucking wrong so stfu and respect the fucking reality

​@leesmith9299 yeah he was way closer and still got it fucking wrong your logic is flawed cuz clearly he didnt have the best vantage point regardless of how close he was

It was a foul. Soufi was in total error.

I agree with you. Who else?

Yes, and we all saw Soufi got that 5 in on the break yet the commenter says (including text on the bottom edge) that "Soufi was not successful on the break"! WTF, is he blind? I think they edited out Soufi's turn in this cut-up video. Only the full video, if there is one, would show us what really happened - why Efren did shot #2 instead of Soufi.

@@Jeff82556 glad I wasn't the only one that saw that.

Non-compliant break - google "9 ball 3 point rule"

Then that's not possible? If a ball is frozen, it can't be contacted in a way to make it a legal shot unless it goes off and strikes another rail, unless there is a double-kiss which clearly there wasn't here. All of that applies unless the white runs off it and strikes the rail, which we see didn't happen. So if Soufi doesn't argue about it being frozen, he's surely also saying it was a foul then.

@@countbasi4680 No because it's very easy to see that it bounces from the white into the cushion and back. The slowmo is misleading because it's impossible to detect a small motion over a longer time.

@@Doppe1ganger It played at full speed and you're still wrong.

Dont be like that. A mistake of one is not of the majority. You must be comfortable in your cozy home without worrying about bombs dropping on your head.
