Efren Reyes vs José Parica — the house was full

Saturday night, April 25 — Good Times Billiards stopped feeling like a normal weekend — it felt like a tournament final without brackets. Efren Reyes and José Parica stepped under our lights, and more than two hundred of you filled the room to watch.

If you follow pool, you already know why that matters. Efren is the magician — the creativity, the kick safes, the nerve in a hill game. Parica is the grinder’s legend — world-class pressure, pace, and heart. Together they are a living chapter of table culture: respect for the table, for the opponent, and for anyone who puts in the work to get there.

They have shaped how millions of players think about position, patience, and shot selection. Having them here in Lakewood, on our floor, with our crowd stacked wall to wall, is the kind of night we built this room for.

Thank you to everyone who showed up early, stayed late, and treated the match like the special occasion it was. More nights like this are how we keep table culture something you can feel — not just something you read about online.
