No offense to Ismael Paez but his shooting unorthodox style really irritates me. I'm sure Strickland must have been cussing out Paez in his head when he was getting all those fortunate rolls. Paez had about 3 shots that shouldn't have gone in but found a way in regardless. What a horrible way ...

I actually don't like their rules concerning the break. I think it's pretty stupid to deem a break illegal if 3 balls don't pass the headstring. If it hadn't been for this silly rule that turned the table over to Alex when it was 6 - 3 in favor of Mika, I don't think Alex would've had a chance ...

Thank you so much for the upload Bilijar! I have a question though. Can you upload the last part of the Strickland Yang match as well as some of the Strickland - Hohmann semi-final?? Great upload nonetheless.

@TheFriesel That's really sad to hear but I'm glad it didn't cause further damage. Hopefully it doesn't have further long-term implications.

Hey Bilijar9, do you by any chance have the quarter-finals match after this between Earl Strickland and Ching Shun Yang? I would really love to see that one if you can upload it. Thanks.

@rbogallo Hey rbogallo, do you by any chance have any of the later matches of the 2003 WPC? In particular, do you have the Earl Strickland vs Chin Shung Yang match or the Thorsten Hohmann vs Earl Strickland match? I would really love to see those if you could upload them.

@roxxas5 LOL my thoughts exactly. When I had my wisdom teeth surgically extracted I had such a huge hematoma on my face it looked like my surgeon had given up on trying to pull out the tooth, punched me on the face to knock it loose, and then scraped it out bit by bit.

@princekody Actually that's not true. Bustamante had found out about his daughter's death towards the beginning of the tournament so you can't use that as an excuse for his loss. Bustamante was playing like a god up until this point. However, he made two honest mistakes and Earl outplayed him ...

@geoff101001 Strickland's attitude along with his bad position play killed him in this match. I can't ever remember ever seeing Strickland beat Souquet though. He loses every match in the same fashion. I don't know why, but he's been fading fast since his 2002 WPC championship and I don't see ...

Mark Wilson is a very knowledgeable commentator but Mitch Lawrence isn't very knowledgeable in my opinion. I think the only reason he's got a bit of an eye for pool is because his wife, Eva Mataya Lawrence, is a pro player on the women's circuit.

@TrickShot1100 Thank you so much I've been looking for it for awhile. Just out of curiosity, do you happen to know the name of the song/music playing at the very end of the match when Earl wins?

Did anyone notice the prize amounts for 1st and 2nd place? A measly $18,000 for 2nd and only $36,000 for 1st. This is a sign that the world economy has taken a nose-dive (this tournament was canceled for 2008 and 2009 because of the economy). If that's not proof enough, consider this: 1st plac...

Hey Gabenvagyok, where did you get that footage?? Is there any way you could upload the match between Earl Strickland and Chin Shun Yang? I would really appreciate it if you could.

@capoman1 His break is really good but he tends to lose the cueball on the break from time to time and I think that may have been what ultimately cost him the match. What do you think?

@perfectshot77 I agree with you 100%.

Just to clarify something, when Earl said he "doesn't gamble or would never throw the book" at 13:01 he meant that he doesn't gamble with odds makers to fix matches. In other words he doesn't accpet payoffs by making sure the matches come within a certain amount of frames. While I think that's ...

I really enjoyed this match with Earl. You can tell he's having a great time towards the end. At any rate, it's a crying shame that he went out of this tournament the way he did by losing 11 - 4 to Thorsten Hohmann. The Yang match in the quarterfinals took a lot out of him - he was leading tha...

While I really enjoy all these videos Friesel, I'm curious as to why they've just been uploaded this past November? I realize YouTube didn't come around until Feb. of `05 but why did you choose now to upload them since they're over 8 years old?

Hey Friesel do you have any of the semi-final matches or anything past the round of 16?

Does anyone know how he pulled off that last trick shot at 1:17?

@PokerHeroblog Good point. Interestingly enough Wikipedia says the WPC tourney didn't even take place in 2008 & 2009 because of the terrible economy. What I'd like to know is why all the videos involving the WPC are from the 2003 WPC tournament when that happened 8 long years ago. It's too ba...

@GetMeThere1 That's the first time I've ever seen a pro miss a shot after being given ball in hand. Do you know of any others on youtube?

It's amazing how nobody has commented on the referee's interesting way of racking the balls. I can't imagine the dexterity and stillness of hand required to do that lol.

@mattvandermeulen Do a search of Strickland vs. Davis. You will see two results: Strickland vs. TJ Davis and Strickland vs. Davis (1/8). Don't click the TJ Davis one, but rather the other one. In the first part of the clip (and throughout the match) it shows Strickland using finger extensions ...

Could anyone tell me how to find a copy of the Ching-Shun Yang vs Earl Strickland match?

It's a shame that all of Earl's matches haven't been uploaded. I enjoyed watching the matches against Llanos, Engert, and especially Davis. However I'd like to see his last two matches against Chin-Shun Yang and Thorsten Hohmann in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

@Supertomiman No I never heard of radiant silvergun. I vaguely remember clockwork knight - though I remember enjoying it. I only played that as a demo if you can believe that lol.

I noticed in some instances the players were pocketing balls out of order which is really confusing. Can someone explain the rules of 9ball bank pool??

@yenoorlum100 I would say that watching Imprint while eating would be worse than watching this while eating.
