This is great for us Billiard players🎱
Efren Reyes is the GOAT
i swear SVB has looked the same age for 10 years now
is he better than efren bata reyes?
i hope They get Rogan to announce a big pool game. that would be great. that would help bring it out more into the mainstream
No#1?
60 minutes Australia is like Palki Sharma, proud boy's, and until the Otter is a breather.
What a shot?
I’ve had 8 break and runs in a row on a uk pool table, you can play perfect in patches, but it’s impossible to keep that level of consistency.
Shane is certainly an amazing player. But I grew up watching Strickland play, he's just as good and he's a whackjob, lol. He's not the player he was in his prime though, he's on the wrong side of the hill nowadays. SVB is definitely best for the future of the sport.
I guess 60 min doesn't remember pool being on espn. It has always been a big sport
Shane in an awesome guy. His passion for the game is something that always gives me a big smile. Really cool to see the sport and one of its greatest players in Shane get some spotlight!
SVB is the man!
Thank you!
Great subject and interview
This man is a beast, a total beast. Yet a total cutie. Love him.
I’ve watched SVB gamble at pool in person.
He's 39??? I thought he was much older.
As a pool fanatic, it really gives me sorrow to see how much small amount of paychecks the pros get where the equipment are so expensive… Matchroom is doing an amazing job for making the game more popular, but other production houses must also step forward to really encourage people to feel that they can also make a living out of it

Efren would make this chump look like an amateur
3:14 jumping on the table?lol
He is not the best or number one player just ask Efren Reyes
I guess none of the womens players wanted to be interviewed?
Best now. Efren best all time
No interest in gambling ? This guy must joking .
I always have pretty low expectations with a pool documentary especially put together by novices. It's usually very cringe worthy. This was not too bad. Goes to show you that pool is starting to take off and somewhat leave it's small niche to enter main stream. I remember the same thing happened to skateboarding in the 80's. All but dead and now it's booming. I'll be dead just when it gets huge is my guess.
When they started jumping on the pool table I cringed. That can knock the table out of level. Anyone who has leveled a pool table knows all the work that it takes. Its also just disrespectful. Anyone else thought the same?
I can stream pool and billiard matches on my smart tv. There’s a billiards channel. I absolutely love it. 10 ball, 9 ball, straight pool, one pocket, bank pool, snooker, billiards, bar table pool. It’s great. I started playing pool by sneaking into the two table pool room in my small home town in the mid 60’s. I eventually got ok at the game. Not great, but ok enough for it for it to be enjoyable. Finally being able to watch the pros play on my tv is a real treat. I’m an old man now and my eyes and hands have seen better days but I still get to practice on the 9 foot table I eventually purchased from the man that owned the poolroom I use to sneak into.
8:05 Only a very bad man can wear sneakers while ice fishing.
I don't really like 60 minutes, but they did an excellent job with this interview, Shane seems so humble and just a great guy.
Problem for him is: without gambling the Tour wouldn't even exist, a lot like Snooker it's part of the trade off.
I quit playing. The downfall was tournaments becoming handicapped with small purses and lower skilled players playing great and expecting to win as they are getting games against the top players
The downfall was promoters and tournament directors caring more about attendance and less about the quality with the best players 🎉
This was really interesting!
Enough of correlating pool and hustling. It rarely happens anymore.
well, 60 minutes blew their dress up again…. Shane is a great player, one of the best. But Efren Reyes "Is the Numero Uno". All players , who can hit the endrail, gamble. Shane has done well by himself & managed to get out of the water, before a bigger shark, ate him &/or severely wounded him. Shane is good for our sport, I'm sure his family is proud, Lots of players around the world are..
Personality wise, something about him reminds me of Elon Musk. Did anyone else think that?
We pool shooters love Shane. He's a living legend
Fantastic interview
Efren Reyes forever.
Brilliant segment, 60 minutes!
Congrats Shane. You deserve it after all your hard work. I love your style and cue action. So natural.
