Even EFREN’s opponent, EARL STRICKLAND loved it and knew this remarkable shot meant victory for EFREN. Score was 12-12 in race-to-13 final. EFREN was in deep trouble and came with this zigzag beauty (the now-famous Z-shot from 1995’s Sands Regency Open 9-ball). A sheer dazzler that received a standing ovation from all the lucky folks in attendance. Earl’s sportsmanship on this occasion was almost as remarkable as EFREN's shot. Earl later told a billiards magazine reporter: “That shot will become part of pool history."
MY FULL EXPLANATION OF THE VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION EFREN WAS IN
For viewers who are unfamiliar with why certain pool situations amount to deep trouble for the player at the table, here's the dilemma Efren was in: Having no reasonable shot on his 5-ball he wisely chose to attempt a safety on the 5 ball. He banked the 5 off the foot rail, intending to leave the cue ball behind the 6, and the 5 on the head rail. And that’s exactly what happened — except the 5 accidentally nudged the 8 ball into the head-rail left-corner pocket on its way up table. Reyes left himself the SAME DEVIOUS SAFE he intended for Strickland !!! Because he had (unintentionally) pocketed a ball, he was compelled to continue shooting at the lowest-numbered object ball -- the five, in this case. He knew that if he failed to hit the five, Earl would have been given "ball-in-hand" placing the cue ball anywhere he wanted and virtually guaranteeing that Strickland would easily run out from there -- as any world-class pro would have -- easily winning the tournament.
