Efren’ Bata’ Reyes x Mansion Sports

Born in Pampanga in 1954, Efren’ Bata ‘Reyes’ life took a significant turn when he moved to Manila with his family at the age of 5, a move that seemed to set him on the path to billiard stardom.

In his country’s capital, Manila, he worked as a billiards attendant at his uncle’s billiards hall, where he started learning various cue sports. Because he was not tall enough to reach the pool table, he played while standing on Coca-Cola cases that he moved around. While he was dreaming of playing pool at night, the pool table was his bed.

The story seems not new at all, but Efren provided more details on how he started by copying the older players’ styles and making them his own to master the game.

As part of the interview, the Magician also revealed how he struggled with some of the greatest opponents he has ever faced: Vietnam’s Tran Quyet Chien, the World’s current top-three player.

Don’t miss it! Billiards fans and enthusiasts, you may learn some extra details about the greatest billiards player of history in the exclusive interview carried by Mansion Sports.
