Title:  Color of Money Challenge - 2nd Day Session        Duration: ~48 minutes
Players: Efren Reyes (PHI) v Earl Strickland (USA)         Rating: 7/10
Venue / Date: 1996 Hong Kong.
Description: Early stages of perhaps the greatest 9-ball pool challenge ever staged and arguably the best comeback in pool history. In this series of 6 video parts Earl begins to assert his early dominance (pardon the pun) as he moves from 36-33 to a 47-39 lead.

The Color of Money as it was dubbed by Australian promoter Bob Moore, was a US$100,000 winner take all race to 120 frames held in an elite Hong Kong venue which was a Black Tie affair. I've read that the money was actually split 75-25.

This is a low resolution version of tape 4 of the full 13+ hour VHS 13 video tape series which is available from www.accu-stats.com for US$260.00. See: Hong Kong Challenge. In this match, Earl and Efren had accustats ratings of .912 and .911 respectively. Truly world class play!

Coomentary by Mark Wilson and well known Filipino announcer Ed Pecson.
