Re: Bulgaria Open (ET1) 7-9 Jun Tournament preview: 1pt ew B.Hawkins to win Bulgaria Open 22/1 Coral (1/4 1-4) The middle two quarters look to be a bit easier than the top and the bottom ones so that is where I’ll concentrate from an outright point of view. One man who had an excellent season last year is Barry Hawkins and he has a nice draw in this tournament as Matthew Stevens is the only top 16 player in his way before the semi finals by which time we would have the place dosh in the bank. I think Hawkins will come on again this season after his exploits in Sheffield and he should go well here. 0.5pts ew B.Woollaston to win Bulgaria Open 66/1 Skybet (1/4 1-4) Ben Woollaston is a player on the up and he often goes well in these ranking tournaments. He is another who has a dream draw in this tournament. He won’t meet anyone higher than him in the rankings until the quarter finals when he could meet Shaun Murphy or John Higgins but neither of those are the most brutal opponents in the PTC competitions. Woollaston has begun the season well and at a big price he can follow that up here.
