Ok! For everyone who commented on that video again! Kiladze is RUSSIAN, because he has a RUSSIAN passport, but, yes, his dad is from Georgia and his mom is from Ukraine. He was my personal trainer for 2 years and you guys never even met him so shut it and stop calling me idiot for nothing!!!
Strickland is not on the video, but he was at that club that night !
The guy who plays with Bustamante in this video is Michael Kiladze - a pretty famous Russian player (famous in Russia). Michael used to be my personal trainer of pool.
At this day I was a personal driver of Michael, Bustamante and Strickland.....
On that day they were playing to races to 11 -200$ each.....
The funny part is that at this exact moment, when they were playing, me and Earl the "Pearl" were getting stoned out of my mind in my car!!! I am happy someone posted it!!!
He was calm......but than he managed to get into a trouble, there was this one guy who was drunk out of his mind and he probably got jealous with the dude being so famous.....anyways nothing bad happened, except for Bustamante being scared about all the situation....It was a funny day. I wish I meet these guys again one day)
Maybe even in Russia. I lived in Saint Petersburg for a while and I know some filipinos where there, so Moscow is another place, there are plenty of good players in Russia.
At about 2:50 in the video, one can clearly hear the cameraman (or someone near the cameraman) speaking in Russian, so this could've taken place somewhere in Brighton Beach (Brooklyn, NY). Don't think Bustamante was playing Strickland or Rempe; that player was too skinny to be either of them. Rather, it could've just been a money match against a local Russian hotshot (on Bustamante's downtime between matches at a tourney somewhere in NYC), or something like that. That's my guess, anyway.
The song being played towards the end of the video is Lovefool by the Cardigans. This song came out in 1996, so late 90's would be a good guess at when this took place.
who won in the end ?

@korniev If you know Michael Kiladze that well, how come you don't know that he is Georgian? He is not Russian, He's Georgian, dude!

Definately not Earl Strickland.
1) He's too tall and skinny.
2) He takes way more practice strokes than Earl.
3) Earl and Francisco are about the same age.
4) If it were Earl Strickland, the title wouldn't be Bustamante vs. ?
