International Championship 28 Oct - 4 Nov

[kevshat]

The richest tournament in China takes place next week when the International Championship is played out. The tournament has the same format as the UK Championship so the longer matches should make for some real quality snooker. Eurosport has all the coverage on TV while the betting sites will have live streaming all week too so hopefully there's some decent dosh to be made on what should be a cracking tournament.

Re: International Championship 28 Oct - 4 Nov Tournament preview: 1pt ew G.Dott to win International Championship 40/1 Blue Square (1/2 1-2) 1pt ew M.Fu to win International Championship 55/1 Paddy Power (1/2 1-2) Graeme Dott has benefitted from O’Sullivan’s withdrawal as he was due to meet him in the last 16 and with Neil Robertson being a poor traveller and arriving to China late after Premier League commitments the draw could continue to open up for the former world champion. He has shown in recent events sign that his form is returning so the 40/1 on him without O’Sullivan in his way looks big. Fu’s quarter could easily open up. The seeds in it are Shaun Murphy, Martin Gould, Ding Junhui and Mark Williams. Gould is unpredictable at the best of times. For whatever reason Ding’s record in China is very poor and Williams has looked out of sorts for a while so at 55/1 there’s enough going for Fu to have a good run this week.
