Thanks, I had no idea as I just left the page open on my laptop without clicking back to the forum listings!

Well it was going the way I thought after Selby won 7 frames in a row but I'm glad John managed to dig in and take the next 5 frames for a brilliant victory! You've got to think these two will have a great chance in Sheffield.

Another 10-2 runaway win for Selby, John was fantastic yesterday but he often runs out of steam in finals so I expect Selby to win tomorrow but hopefully not another 10-2 or 10-3 result!

It's been an interesting week with a lot of one-sided results, Barry playing like a man possessed and Mark's eyes seemingly getting worse by the day. Selby back to his best too. It bodes well for the Crucible although I've got no clue who's going to reach the final in a month's time. I'm not even sure if Ronnie will bother to turn up or walk out halfway through a match but I do hope he makes an effort at least, maybe he'll get Zintong in the first round which would be a cracker.

Yeah, great match with scarcely any safety play, I can't believe nest week's draw is identical!

That was the sort of performance where you're embarrassed on behalf of the player, 10-0!!

Judd was terrible against Bingham, I wanted him and Shaun in the final from a viewing perspective but instead I get the other two!

The odds on Trump were good, wish I'd known that Vafei was injured so was likely to lose easily.

That was a great bet on Jimmy as Mark looked a bit flat. Ding should've won but blew it. Shame that Ronnie decided not to turn up again and I'm not sure why Maguire withdrew as I would've thought he'd be desperate for points/money. Judd will be annoyed that Jack has given him a bye as it'll be one less match for him to add to his season's century total although I reckon he'll get to 100 if he has good runs in the remaining tournies, imagine though if he ends on 98 or 99 and that one match could cost him the bonus!

Nice to see John win again, could well be his last ever ranking tournament win but only time will tell. Me and my big mouth regarding the £3.99 subscription as I think it's gone up to £30.99 now which is a bit steep!

Who'd have thought Pang would be the last Chinese player standing, would be quite something if he won the event but I'm agreeing with you that it might be Shaun or Barry but would also be great if John won again:-)

Looking forward to seeing how this tournie unfolds, I'm glad that Discovery subscription went down to £3.99 🙂

Yeah, it would have been nice if he'd won and at 6-6 he was defo in with a chance but it wasn't to be sadly. I also see that Ronnie has pulled out of the Chinese tournament next week which is surprising as he always said how much he enjoys going there. At this rate I can see him retiring from snooker altogether pretty soon.

Maybe Lisowski will finally do it? Luca going well again lately and Selby's match just finishing after 1am as usual, pity Slessor couldn't quite beat him again like he did in Germany.

I might have guessed that Ronnie would pull out again at the last minute! Surprised Shaun lost his match too.
