Walden v Selby

In my opinion Walden looks a good bet here at 3.15. He is a hugely inconsistent player tournament to tournament, but when he gets the bit between his teeth, and on a run, he is very hard to stop. Should really have been in WC final last season, but having led 12-8 against Hawkins, proceeded to lose the next 8 frames. A bit of bottling involved there, but also a lot of bad luck. I had Hawkins backed e.w outright at 90s, and couldn't believe the running he was getting. To be fair to Walden, he rallied again, and only another slice of misfortune stopped Hawkins from getting very twitchy. He has been very good again this week, while Selby has been very in and out, and was lucky Hawkins snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in quarters. May be worth putting in to lay off for your stake at about 1.2.
