Starting to learn about billiards at the age of 5 when he moved to Malina to live with his uncle, Efren Reyes won his first match at the age of 9 and continued to compete in 3-cushion billiards in the 1960s and 1970s.

During his entire career up to now, Reyes has won a total of more than 100 international titles, in which he won four-time World Eight-ball champion, a WPA World Nine-ball champion, a three-time U.S. Open winner, a two-time World Pool League winner, and a thirteen-time Derby City Classic winner and two times World Cup of Pool.

He also defeated the player Earl Strickland – the legendary American holds a record of 5 U.S. Open championships – at the 1997 Color of Money, winning the largest single match purse in pool history of $100,000. Reyes also defeated more than 700 competitors at the Tokyo Open in 2001 to win the championship with prize money of up to $163,000 – the biggest first prize in a pool tournament in history up to that time. He is also the first Asian player to be inducted into the American Billiards Hall of Fame.

He is known by fans and players as a “magician” or “witch” on the pool table with his superior technique and creative gameplay.
