8/15 Perry 4/7 Carter 4/6 Gould 10/11 Goudong,Un Nooh,Day,Dott,Hang 11/10 Wenbo 11/8 Bingtao 6/4 Milkman,Cragie,Ebdon 13/8 Davis,Fu,Walden,Haotian,Saengkham 7/4 Yuelong,McGill,Wilson 2/1 Sijun,Ning 9/4 Xintong,Selt,Maflin 5/2 King,J Robertson 3/1 Holt,Carrington,Donaldson,O Donnell 10/3 Wakelin 7/2 Akani,Wollaston 9/2 McManus,Xiwen 5/1 O Brian,Dale,Vafaei 11/2 O Connor 6/1 Highfield,Doherty 7/1 Ford 9/1 Hamilton 14/1 Swail 18/1 Burden 20/1 Baird 25/1 M White 33/1 McLeod 50/1 Whirlwind,Wattana 250/1 Reanne Evans McManus @9/2 and Vafaei @5s look good things....and few quid on Jimmy@25s for old times sake |
|
By:
Where are those prices available stunning? Would have to have a couple of quid on M White at those odds.
Vafaei has a tricky first one against Anda, but 5s looks a bit ahead of the odds at first glance. Ford at 7s and Sherriff at 9s looks worth another look too. |
|
By:
B365 John....ya 25s on White crazy,he is 7s with powers!....def worth an interest just had such a bad season,pity as has bundles of talent and lovely player to watch.Ya first game for Vafaei is tricky but would make him fav if he played Gould in final round.
|

By:
he's not so much diamond white now, more diamond sh1te
|
|
By:
Cheers stunning, not much encouragement on form but just 25s is too big so gotta be worth a few shekels. Vafaei should have beaten Mags last year, outrageous Mags fluke at critical time did for him, and should have beaten Ford year before too so i'd see him making it this time around. Good player at that level, problem is producing it on tv tables in later rounds.
|
|
By:
No worries John,yes backed Vafaei many times with mixed results but like his positive attitude.Got to a simi this year and despite getting a tanking think it is a learning curve for all he has to put up with regarding visas etc.Like your Tom Ford pick,class player who def is in with a shout at 7s.Liam Highfield another I fancy but have lost a fortune backing him the last year
|
|
By:
He pretty much lost 4 years of his career to all that visa sh!t stunning, and still doesnt have a proper pro set up so think he's doing ok for what it is. Anyway, see PP have him 10/3 and Ford at 4s so those prices above dont look too bad. Highfield doesnt look a bad shout at 6s have to say.

It's either this or The Masters for the 2nd best tournament of the year. Hopefully, we can get a few midnight finishes to get us ready for The Crucible marathon. Good luck to Fergal, Ebbo, Angles, Rod, Lee Walker and Sunny Akani.

What's the delay here? Play should have resumed at 1430 but doesn't appear to have done so....?
|
|
By:
scoring system fault .

Thanks!

Game on.

By:
Well done Micheal Judge,great win over Peter Lines who is relegated from the tour....game finished at 2.52am...hard to see that beaten

snooker for the purists
 they managed just 6 frames in the 1st session? |
|
By:
Jesus!

Mick Judge high break 53

McGill's in trouble here, I reckon. Missed a chance to go 7-3 up and it's now 6-6 with him having played any number of awful shots. Hugill's actually playing OK too given his appalling record this season.
|
|
By:
McGill seems to have lost his way in the game,never kicked on.Walden/Burden has the looks of a final frame shootout....great stuff to watch.
|
|
By:
mcgill was docked a frame for oversleeping at an event recently
tells you all you need to know |
|
By:
Ricky through,great player to watch when in full flow....good chance of making it now.
|
|
By:
I don't think we're in for a 2.52am finish tonight, but with just under an hour to go to midnight we still have 3 matches in play, with the leaders still needing 2 frames to progress. Every player is averaging at least 28 seconds per shot, so we may get a 1am finish if we get a decider somewhere.
|
|
By:
McGill v Hugill still going
|
|
By:
1am finished landed, as A.McGill limped over the line, and we didn't even need a decider. I wonder which of today's matches will see us safely into Saturday.
|

By:
Never ceases to amaze me how many professional snooker players don't understand the rules about what constitutes being able to hit a 'full ball' when in a snooker. Hugill had one last night where reds were overlapping and he didn't realise that still meant the 3 misses rule was in play and couldn't work out why he got warned....
Truly bizarre choice of matches for this morning and this evening's televised pair.... Marco v Luo Honghao and, even more bizarrely, Zhang Yong v Reanne Evans. WTAF?!? (particularly the last one) |
|
By:
typical leftist agenda
we've had birds football, birds cricket, birds rugby, birds darts birds snooker cant be that many years away |
|
By:
it did make me laugh when MVG won his 3rd PDC worlds in january
cant remember who but somebody on TV said "and now MVG joins the greats who've won at least 3 world championships" and proceeded to list them get this... men AND women only problem is there aren't any female world champions they have their own restricted field women's "world championship", which has even less credibility than lakeside |
|
By:
hopefully snooker doesn't lurch to that
|

By:
I have been caught out by headlines more than once on the BBC Sport app where something has made me go WTF?!? And then I've opened the article and realised it's about women's football.... I don't have a problem with women's sport (I'd rather watch and bet on WTA than ATP, for instance), but it shouldn't be rammed down out throats. If it's good enough entertainment, it should be able to stand on its own two feet. There's just no justification for half of it, much like this.

By:
I'm not actually sure she's not a bit bigger than she should be, BTW (price-wise, defo not calling her fat!). Very limited data available for both, though, TBF.
Think Jackson Page, Sam Baird and Nigel Bond could go well at odds-against today. |
|
By:
I've no problem with it lats but none of it is standing up on its own 2 feet, it is heavily subsidised otherwise all of it would cease to exist
|
|
By:
She starts by hitting the pink on the break-off shot!
 |
|
By:
|
|
By:
Whatever you think, don't hit the pink!
|
|
By:
If this is supposed to be promoting the women's game, or even snooker in general, it isn't going to be working based on this first frame. Quite the opposite.
|
|
By:
is she the "best" female snooker player out there lats?
|
|
By:
Ng On Yee is the #1 ranked player (currently 2-2 with Angles). Evans #2.
|
|
By:
and they are in the qualifiers as arbitrary picks (as opposed to on merit)?
|
|
By:
According to Wiki (so it MUST be true), this is how all of the qualifiers were 'selected':
The tour players (ranked outside the top-16) are joined by amateur/wildcard players who have achieved success through the WPBSA qualifying criteria. The qualifying criteria are as follows:[17] Challenge Tour 2018/2019 – top four ranked players: England Brandon Sargeant, England David Grace, England Mitchell Mann, England David Lilley EBSA European U-21 / U-18 Championship 2019 semi-finalists: Wales Jackson Page, Republic of Ireland Aaron Hill, Republic of Ireland Ross Bulman, Wales Dylan Emery, Austria Florian Nüßle World Women’s Snooker Tour – top two ranked players: Hong Kong Ng On-yee, England Reanne Evans World Seniors Snooker Tour – top ranked player: England Johnathan Bagley African champion: Egypt Mostafa Dorgham[citation needed] Americas champion: Brazil Igor Figueiredo Oceania champion: New Zealand Adam Lilley CBSA nomination: China Pang Junxu Decided by WPBSA: England Farakh Ajaib, England James Cahill, England Adam Duffy, England Andy Hicks, England Luke Simmonds, Republic of Ireland Michael Judge[b] |
