Yeah, this shot was pretty special. Souquet played a masterful safety to send the two ball two rails under a cluster near the bottom right corner. While I don’t remember the exact position, the gist of it was this. Before Efren’s shot, the balls looked like this, and I’ve showed Efren’s kicking line:

The lethal result was that the cue ball was left buried under the three ball cluster, and Efren was in big trouble. This sequence was the defensive highlight of the match, and clearly showcased the skills of two of the all-time greats.

These guys are good!
