Decent wedge matched at 1.02 there before Judd broke down. 4-2.

U get any Lats
A small amount.
Robbo blows a great chance for 4-4 and Judd finally rides it out, 5-3.
Lovely start for Zhang over Hossein, 1-0.
1-0 Perry over Licky
1-0 Perry over Licky
4-1 Perry.
Zhang blows a great chance to steal after laying a snooker, extracting a low of fouls and a free ball.... Hossein still can't do anything about it, Zhang does clear, leads 3-1.

5-2 Perry. Not really seen much of it, but Joe is definitely hitting his straps for the first time in quite a while.
Zhang misses the one difficult red on the table and sticks it, Hossein clears. 4-4 from 4-1.... 
Judd v Hossein is interesting. The H2H in meaningful matches is 2-2, but Hossein has won the last two (last three if you include the BO3 WST Pro Tour, which I haven't). Unsurprisingly, Judd has clear daylight on the numbers, but then he did have in those defeats, too. Discounting the Shootout, Hossein's record in SFs is 0-3, the first two of which were horror showings, winning only one frame. The most recent was a 6-5 defeat at the hands of MJW. The H2H gives a bit of hope, and given the current drift, 4/1 looks possible and would be worth a dabble.
Jack and Joe have met 6 times (discounting CL and WST), and the H2H is 3-3. Jack is very marginally outscoring Joe. Jack 4/5, Perry 5/4 looks about bang on.

Wouldn't say I necessarily knew, mate, but Licky won't have had many days in his career, let alone recently, where he's beaten two players of the calibre of Big Boy and Ronnie on the same day. There was always the chance... Mind, you could say similar about Perry, the difference is he's coming into the best form he's had for at least a couple of years right now (a marked improvement the last couple of weeks), whereas Licky's been playing well all season and might be slightly more jaded.
Excellent start by Hossein. Market only has eyes for Judd, though. 1.5 elsewhere.
Judd's missing a few. Hossein looking the more solid so far, 3-1.
Poor positional shot costs Hossein a decent chance to punish another Judd error. Judd sees it out, 3-2 Hossein
Two terrible, terrible misses from Hossein, what should have been 4-2 becomes 3-3.
Hossein finally goes 4-3 up after looking like he'd gifted Judd another one.

Doing his bestie a fav0ur! If u can't bt the gentleman Jack and the Prince well my friend youbdont deserve the silverware! Something along them lines the chat in the Newport Travelodge went..
Much better from Judd, though still not clinical in a oner, 5-4 Hossein
That's the third time I've had players I've put up beaten from the hill and either two or three frames clear 
Unlucky lats, hossein needed to be winning that. Was his day if he could be 10-15% more clinical.
Evening all. Well, despite swearing that I would never put another penny on 2pt, I find myself sitting down , ready for another nerve wracking, helter skelter affair having been tempted by by odds of 45s

Evening!
Dreadful start from both!
Still not error-free, but it's getting better. 3-2 Joe.
Did well to hold his nerve there given the come back !
Worst he's ever felt on a snooker table says joe, headaches and sticking his finger down his throat at 4-2. Doesn't say a lot for Jack, does it?
Looked on deaths door,i thought he looked pale when the match started,hope he's tested for covid..
Must admit I watched on BFLV (no comms) and didn't really pick-up on Joe not being well - notwithstanding he missed quite a few balls he shouldn't have missed! I just assumed Jack was dragging him down.
Joe and Judd have played 12 times, Judd leading the H2H 9-3. They've met 6 times in the last 5 years, over which period the H2H is 4-2 to Judd.
Judd is obviously outscoring Joe this season and by quite a bit.
This week, Judd has made 17 50+ breaks from 40 frames played, converting 5 into tons. Joe has made 11 50+ breaks from 37 frames played, also converting 5 into tons.
Judd, a lot of the time (and in keeping with much of the season, TBH), has been quite unimpressive, by his standards. Joe has (prior to last night), been playing as well as he has for a very long time.
Joe has won 1 ranking event final from 5 played (over the sprint trip of BO7). You don't need me to tell you Judd has fared a lot better than that.
Joe at 4/1, especially given concerns about his health, is a lot less appealing a prospect than Hossein was at a similar price yesterday. Sit on your hands and see what happens for a while, IMHO.

Agree with all that Lats. If Joe gets of to a flier, I could see Judd as a lay-to-back at 1.22 but there's not much chance he is beating (even this slightly sub-standard) Judd over BO17 imo. Joe seems a really decent guy but he just doesn't have the self confidence or the minerals for the final stages imo. I hope he gives him a game, gets off to aa good start and that it's not too one sided.
Not saying i really picked up on it either tbh, though Darren Morgan did refer a couple of times to way Joe was holding his head when sat down. JV and the dazzler on bbc wales, different gravy 
Assuming a good sleep joe should be ok tonight and judd still not the player he was 12-18 months ago imho, but still couldn't get up much enthusiasm for those odds. Happy to sit back and watch.

How have I got this far into the week without realising this has been on BBC Wales?!? Knew BFLV felt a long way behind, but BBC Wales is actually ahead of it ATM!
Very good from Joe there, not so good from Judd, 7-5 Joe!
7:5 to Joe - but is Juddley even playing well enough to get past him when he (inevitably) twitches?
As it stands, I don't think he is, but he does have gears to go through, as he showed yesterday.
Hopefully his brother gives him a good slap and snaps him out of it - but I'm sorted now, so would actually quite like to see Joe hold it together and make the finish line.
It's nice to see the Gentleman win another ranking tournament (and I say that as a big Judd fan).
Very well deserved, Joseph! Clinical where Hossein wasn't!
Fair play! - you'd have to put Judd down for an "assist" there - but you can only beat whoever is in front of you - so a very well deserved win. Chuffed for the guy.
Night all! - See you at 8am sharp for some Turkish delight.
Trump's gone at the game..he managed to make one of the game's biggest ever chokers look like Hendry at his imperious best(albeit Joe did play some good stuff and when he did make mistakes Trump responded in kind)

I'll be there! Least it's a nice, early night!
Trumps completely lost his bottle,ever since losing to Robertson in the UK where he did a massive choke,the way he spoke he expected to lose he's gone back to his choking days of 4/5 years ago..He will get it back at some point,but this is the second time in his career he's done it losing that final has given him the yips again..
The last time i watched Perry before this week was against Filthy a couple of months back and fecker could barely pot a ball. Really strange sport this! Fair fcks to him anyway, judd below par and he took advantage of it, unlike hossein yesterday. Real good pro finish too, nary a hint of a twitch in sight.
Maybe gigg but he did win 3 tournaments pretty quickly after that uk final so i don't know how big a factor that was. He was so dominant last season, or up to final 4-6 weeks anyway, i think it's mentally hard to keep that going. He's a great talent, but he's not nor ever will be ronnie, think there are some doubts lurking there.
He did at least one interview last season where he basically said he'd achieved all he wanted to in the game. It seemed a big thing to say at the time, but at that stage he was still performing, so it was easier to overlook than it's becoming now. I do wonder if he's practicing as hard. I do also wonder if he might have been saving himself for a really strong push at the Crucible this season. Time will tell, I guess.
Said that too before lats, may be no harm to see a quieter season this time and more in the tank for sheffield. But I'm still not convinced that's how it plays out, it's not by design anyway. Judds alright by me, but seems a complex sort of fellow. Like he's carrying some sort of invisible burden that drags him down from time to time. That's how it seems to me anyway.
He seems a surprisingly fragile character, often speaks with great honesty in his interviews but as a result is inevitably revealing some level of weakness to all and sundry in a very stark contrast to the likes of a Hendry or a Davis...even Higgins (Alex) for that matter..
it's not a criticism as it's refreshing and endearing in many ways especially in contrast to some early perceptions about him as a young player whilst Robertson (Neil) who initially had much of the 'caught in the headlights' projection has become a more and more irritating but confident individual for whom it's never really his fault but as a result maintains arguably more of a presence when played against...
anyway enough psychoanalysis from me...
