- 2 hrs 10 mins - 3 closing matches in Valley Forge. Players are Varner; Sigel; Harriman; Wetch. Expert Buddy Hall commentary. All 3 matches thoroughly riveting. Danny Harriman, age 21, is immensely talented; Jimmy Wetch age 25 fast & smooth. Both “youngsters” fearless against the veteran pros.

“What do you think about these youngsters?”...proceeds to drop to his knees.
Great to have somebody like Buddy Hall commentating.
Harriman and Sigel have such silky cueing. And Sigel almost always plays with solid authority. All these guys here were a joy to watch.
I've said it before but yours is the best pool channel on yt by far - all these great players and matches from the late 80s and 90s that are themselves a link to the '70s generation that would otherwise be lost to time - an irreplaceable resource to younger & developing players. you've done a real service to the game here and it's great to have this stuff freely available
Once again, thank you for your kind appreciative words re: my archiving/historian efforts related to our mutually beloved sport, Bryan. I was on camera in a (blue-green shirt) in this video every time they panned the front row of the left-side audience, having traveled down to Valley forge, PA from my then-New England home to see this tournament in-person. Danny Harriman impressed everyone with this creditable first-major-tournament appearance. Btw, Bryan I still recall your cleverness 8 months ago on one of my other videos when you made your very clever allusion to Efren's amazing banking and kicking skills (via your capitalized "N" ending -- spelling his first name as EfreN). Other viewers commented on your originality there too.
How cool. Just realized Danny Harriman is wearing a shirt to my pool hall. Crazy!
Can you elaborate, DJ? More info? Thanks.
@@raycarltonbilliards5798 Sorry for the late reply; I never received notification. I play at Madsen’s Billiards in Lincoln, Nebraska. Owner Tom Madsen owns a cue company, Tom’s Cue Stix, which is located inside the pool hall. Harriman was sponsored by Tom in the early 1990s and is wearing a Tom’s Cue Stix shirt in these two matches. I play on their 9’ Diamond red label almost every day. Great place and great tables!
@@djamo1969 What ever happened to Danny? What a great player. His leaping break might kick an unsuspecting ref in the face.
His shirt caused a foul!
Nick should've gotten out of his chair to heartily congratulate a young man who could beat him so well.
Thanks for posting these matches
Glad you're enjoying my channel, Ian.

Ray, I had never seen what the commentator Jim Wych looks like or heard Jimmy Wetch speak. For the longest time, i thought they were the same person, lol.
Sory Ray,Mei English Is Very Limieted,,,,,But Thank You Very Match For Those Old Viedeos,,,,,,,,
Jimmy Wetch is a great player and a better person.
37:00 Beautiful jump shot by Varner, very unlucky result though. Thanks for the video, enjoying watching these matches.
Glad you enjoyed it, Night H. Nice comment about that particular shot in this video is much appreciated. Danny H also great. Here are plenty more of my vids to enjoy:

I been looking for Rafael martinez vs Nick varner, 9 ball bicycle club invitational about 1994. Would you have that video? Love that match. Rafael martinez was stroking on that game.
The only V vs M still available on video that I know of is:
tinyurl.com/y37awvvu from a Sands Regency event in that time period.
Did Harriman pass away a few years back or do have him mistaken for someone's else?
No, Danny is still around. You may be thinking of Tony Ellin, who died in a car accident in 2000.
Harriman seemed to be such a talented young player--I wonder why he did not win more later; and Sigel may have won 100+ tournaments by this time, but his play in these matches is not very impressive.
+TexasRobert1 The PBT ended and Sigel played well.
Agree, Sigel is a very strong player but from what i have seen and heard he much too vaulted and revered by some of the other professional players.
john noe the guy won over 100 professional tournaments, and you wonder why he was revered?
Harriman has such a nice stroke. I agree his career was not what it could have been
If you lose a match you should get up out of your chair to shake the other player's hand !
I don't think his shirt touched the 8
Shirt appeared to be touching from the camera angle, but in fact it wasn't -- there was plenty of clearance. I was in the audience and can confirm that his shirt didn't touch any ball.
@@raycarltonbilliards5798 thanks it's hard to tell from one view I didn't think it was
