Northern Ireland Open (plus qualifications)

[Fader]

We're straight into the Northern Ireland Open tomorrow. An event we tipped up last year for Mark Allen to come out and win. Was a hell of a final, too, beating Higgins in a deciding leg. I like Jimmy Robertson to beat Gary Wilson tomorrow. He has won the last few h2hs but he is also playing the better right now and he also has points to protect having made the Last 16 here, last year.

I also it's probably worth 2pts on Oliver Brown against Maguire. Maguire does have points to protect here but he just looked so average against Stevens last week and he also lost to Brown only a month ago. He isn't 13/2 tomorrow.

5pts J. Robertson to beat G. Wilson 4/5 willhill
2pts O. Brown to beat S. Maguire 13/2 paddypower
1pt treble - JRobertson / Woollaston / JJones (-2.5 frames) 6/1 paddypower

You would think after going 2-0 up, Brown would atleast get a deciding leg. Anyway, onto today. I think both Yize and Anda win today, in the 10am matches but my main bet wiill be Hugill to beat Zhengyi. Feels like I'm betting on this bloke every week but he's playing some nice stuff and Zhengyi is having abit of a mare this season. Lost 5-1 to Judge and then 4-0 to Jamie Clarke. I just wonder if Hugill can come through this.

5pts Hugill to beat Zhengyi 11/10 paddypower
1pt treble - Hugill, Anda (-1.5 frames) and Wize (-1.5 frames) 4.5/1 paddypower
