****SPOILER ALERT!**** If you haven't watched the match WATCH IT FIRST before you read any comments!! It's worth it. Wow, that was tough. To come within literally one shot of winning and not be able to pull it off. I was pulling for Alex all the way, although David was stroking the ball better. Both pulled off 5-packs. Alex was actually not at his best but he was grinding it out and scrapping for it, and he deserved to be neck-and-neck. One observation: at the end Alex Lely responds to "That's got to be one of the best matches you've ever witnessed" by saying, "well, not the best, but exciting"--that's a perfect example of why players sometimes don't make the best commentators. Alex Lely is looking at the match from a standpoint of consistency and execution. But that's not the essence of the drama of sport for spectators and fans. The other announcer (sorry, I can't remember his name) is correct in this case. A spectacular match--just what fans want and what pool needs. Better than if one player had played the way Alex Lely would consider "the best."
He can have his own opinion on what makes a match great or not I think. Commentators can make personal statements, that's what they do and that's how they avoid being bland. Strickland talks a lot of crap and trash talks players but people like that apparently. I personnaly enjoy matches also based on game standard or consistency. Points of views that's all
@@joeygonzo Well yeah, but the magic has passed. The guy won the 2017 and 2019 (this one) Masters after that fateful day of him giving his stick to The Magician. You can't make this up lol.
Why did Kazakis use right side English on that 8 ball? That made no sense. He would of left himself a clean corner shot on the 9 if he just hits it in the center. I just don't get it.
@ "Sunpride" -> Your ads tend to block the table, consequently blocking the player, tho way he executes his shot and the end result of that shot. Ad agencies may be aggressive; but they have also to be sensitive to the game they are claiming to help. Viewers like me would remember your name as a company whose product one would NEVER buy!
David is his own worse enemy. I notice that many of the times that he stops in the stroke then snaps at the cue and it bounces off the table. Many of those times he misses just because of that. Pretty clear he doesn't deserve the wins. But I want to root for him anyway at times. He needs a coach that will be strict with him and show him the simple stroke problems that cause him the jackpots he gets himself in.
You know what.. I dont think I could do this rediculous grand entrance. Is there anyway we can just come in sit down .. ya know if he wants to make a speech and entoduce us that's fine but I'm not running down a isle like I just got called to the front on the prices right. Let's not get carried away here. That's the kind of stuff I struggle with when thinking of joining a pro tour. Too much extra

One of the best matches I've ever seen.
Agree, That was an amazing match.
David is SUCH a class act. So well done on his part after the match.

was jsut about to say, i hope Greece wins :D
Agree, have to give Lely credit for the call on the final bank though. "...for the title...for the title! What a bank!..."
This game was exciting because of the back and forth. I really feel for both players.
Love both of them. Good hearts.
Alcaide's unforgettable bank shot. The things that legends are made of. Still exciting to watch years after it happened.
Really enjoyed this match! One of the best ever
Increible de principio a fin!
Yo jugaba a pool cuando tenía 15 años y y se hablaba de alcaide por toda España ojalá algún día conozca a este crack.
Wow, what a comeback from David!!!
That last shot....speechless
gotta feel for Kazakis..he was dominating and i think the better player, but that bank was a beauty. top 10 for sure
No no top 10. Number 1 is SVB Shane Van Boening 🤘
@@adakahseratusss I meant the bank my friend. svb is really good though
@@adakahseratusss svb is choking now
So breathtaking
Dios mío que partidazo señores , que grande David , viva España y el pool coño ...
The match is a heart attack!!!
Nice attitude by david👍
David barely won the game again same with the 2017 worl pool masters.. His victory is sensational..
Great game here 👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely incredible last rack
Such a comeback
Wondrous Toreador， Bravi!
That was amazing
1:53:03 Last shot was really amazing tho
Is that the cue which David handed to Efren Reyes to kick the 6ball while holding Efren's coffee? That cue must have been blessed by the GOAT.😊
Watched the Pearl match, then once he was out I skipped to here to last play of the final rack and I must say, I'm not disappointed
Uuff q buen juego de principio a fin
Does david still has efren bata reyes' magic wand? I mean cue stick?
does...have... No. He never did . He is sponsored by Longoni.
@@joeygonzo Well yeah, but the magic has passed. The guy won the 2017 and 2019 (this one) Masters after that fateful day of him giving his stick to The Magician. You can't make this up lol.
It would be nice if they would announce what playing cue, break cue and jump cue they use and also what kind of shaft . Before every match.
I know why Kazakis lost... its all because of the Referee. at 1:28:06... he called him Kazaks is .. that was the turning point
There has to be a winner.
1:02:45 "nada nada" le calló la boca 😂
I think Kazakis is a little bit coward when he decided to defense the last 9 ball. He should YOLO the last shot!
Nahh bro it would be stupid if he didnt play defense and he did it great but the last shot was just epic
@@Mario-nb9tq The bank was on and it's always better to lose having had a shot at it and maybe losing without having had that shot
Kazakis, para no coger un taco en 6 meses.
I came here because of the video when David passed the cue stick to Efren 😅
in jeden Rack ein Stellungsfehler vom Alcaide aber er ist ein absolute Lochmonster
Why did Kazakis use right side English on that 8 ball? That made no sense. He would of left himself a clean corner shot on the 9 if he just hits it in the center. I just don't get it.
Seems to have been trying to come underneath the 9 for the side. Coming above it was more natural but added in possibility of the scratch.

EPIC
Alcaide started winning the moment he gave that difficult shot to Efren Reyes and break the cue when he made that impossible shot years ago lol
The last cue stick his using is also familiar, maybe that was the stick that he gave to efren.
I predict alex will win this next year 😁
😮😮 Que partidazo 👏👏🎉🎉
Alhamdullilllah idola ku menang🤔😍😍
I would have rolled the 8 In the corner and played for the 9 in the side
Damm. I bet Alex was kicking himself, personally I would have banked that last 9 ball not hit it safe.
too bad they canceled the 2020 matches.
What is name of referee?
Nigel Reese not sure if I spelled it right
Settle down 🤣🤣🤣
Rodelito jeresano
Nigel Rees
Are you serious!
kazakis bottled it
👏👏👏👏👏
i know he won because he is real pro
