Lot of big names out today, Luca was garbage as was Selby. There were still 4 matches going after midnight and now Lam vs Graham final frame starting at 1.15am!

Stevens definitely had a great chance and Cahill should have beaten Luca, some shocking frames today! I almost thought about popping along after 10pm but was too lazy, would have been worth it as they didn't finish until 12.30am with Jimmy White winning the decider on the black!

Thanks for the summary, my local tournie so I might try to pop along for a session or two.

I didn't see one with her, I think she left it to others to talk to him!

Oh well, not the result I wanted as it's always nicer when it's won by someone who hasn't had much success previously. At least we'll get an uncomfortable interview between Reanne and Mark though she'll probably go into hiding as she's done all week whenever his name is mentioned.

What a shame he couldn't make the final but 37.5/1 will do very nicely. I hope Cao beats Allen in the final.

Only 4 left now, hope the Lincoln sausage does it for you at a terrific price!

Will be following along with your interests, good luck! That 147 yesterday was something else although still about 2 1/2 minutes behind Ronnie's 5:08 back in 1997.

I enjoyed the final, great stuff and nice to see Ronnie bag his 40th ranking title. Would love it if he won the masters too!

Ronnie's started fast but has been known to fade as the match goes deep so Joe could still have chances if he can get to 3-1 at the interval. Luca has been crap so far this season! I hope Judd and Willo win tonight.

McGill looking good early doors against Ronnie, think you might have called that one correctly.

Day one was great 43/44 frames played and a couple of amazing comebacks. Kyren is definitely in a bit of a slump so far this season. Let's hope for more good stuff tomorrow.

Mark Allen threw that away against a very sick looking Ding, one of those weird matches. Mark Williams did well to come through 6-4 against a dangerous opponent.

I thought you would have been on him too, annoying when you miss out!

Oh yeah, I forgot about the magnificent 147 break!

Well done to Anda, a big day for him, definitely the new Chinese number 1 this season anyway!

From 6-4 up Ronnie was dismal, tomorrow's final is going to be big for whoever wins as it'll be their first title and also give them entry to the champions. I wonder if Ronnie will ever win another ranking title? It would take him up to 40 which is a nice round number. Same goes for Higgins I suppose as he's been patchy lately.

Ford vs Brown, probably the most unforeseen semi-final of the season. Both played well and it would be nice for Tom to bag his first ranking title on Sunday and get an entry to the Champions next week!

Ronnie was awful today, Ali must be kicking himself as he probably should have won.

Some shockers today, Williams and Brecel out as well.

Yeah, he would have had to knock him out as the judges would have been keen to side with the lineal world champ!

A bit embarrassing for Fury but he squeaked through by a narrow margin, never looked like troubling Ngannou and got knocked on his arse in the 3rd. He's going to have to train harder for the Usyk fight.

Ring walk just starting, good luck with your bets gents! He's a bit of a unit but as you say probably doesn't have the boxing nous.

Emery made you wait a bit but got the job done!

I would say he has a pretty good chance as he seems to be a good young prospect.
