Butch blows an amazing chance to steal and force a W after Xiao missed a double that none of the top pros would have missed.

Looking forward to seeing Chadha against a better opponent this afternoon.  He's made a very positive impression in the two Qs I've seen him play so far this season, albeit against lowly opposition.

Butch needs a trip to specsavers he was in with a chance to steal frame 6 after Xiao left a red over the bag when on 59,after losing position a few pots later he was forced to play safe,tried a thin clip off a red missed red, he could then only tie.
few shots laterboth remaining reds on baulk cushion, white just above baulk line, tried another thin clip,missed red completely leaving himself now needing a snooker to tie.
Laughable,but didn,t quite see the funny side as had stuck in a little double with the sheriff this afternoon.

50 break for Chadha in his first frame with an audience and he doesn't even get a clap! 

1-0 Chadha

1-0 Judd over Brown, 1-0 MJW over Mugthew

1-1 Luca after a bad Chadha safety.  1-0 Kyren over Burden, 2-0 MJW

2-1 Luca after a straight miss with the rest from Chadha.

Chadha, into steal, misses the pink off the penultimate red but does get the cannon on the final red, bringing it off the cush and sticking it.  3-1 Luca.

2-1 MJW

3-0 Judd, 2-2 Mugthew, 2-1 Kyren

5-0 Jimmy R, 5-2 JB

4-3 Baz

4 on the spin for Baz, 5-3.

I'm not around tomorrow.

Didn't get to see any of it, but wondering how many match balls or virtual match balls Wakey butchered against juddley, putting the spread in at 4.

J Robertson scrapes past MJW 5 - 4 - winning final frame after clearing up the colours

hope live video will be available for evening session

A few names still in the hat today that I wasn't particularly expecting!

Bad miscue from Baz.  Almost jumps over the yellow.

3-2 Noppy, 4-1 Lyu

3-3 Jimmy R, 4-2 Selby

3-3 Luca, 5-1 Lyu

4-3 Jimmy R

5-2 Selby

Some awful shots from Baz, and Luca taps his cue on the floor like he thinks something is loose.  Regardless, 4-3 Luca from 1-3.

No idea what Noppon was playing there - must have been a cut to the middle

Eventually they return - thought screen had frozen

4-4 Noppy, 4-4 Baz

Jimmy only gets 26 from that position

Fecking buckets

wobbled - came away from pocket and then dropped!

another chance for Jimmy to add a few points

Bit of a shocker there Noppy

Nice pot though

GSM

5-4 Baz

I was hoping we might get some frame odds betting for the quarters...............

I could always ring 'em up but judging by the liquidity in the match odds it hardly seems worth it.

For a tv event still very quiet - hopefully as the season progresses it might get a little busier. Having so many tables going at the same time (7?) doesn't help.
Anyway a few quid matched on Trump 1.03 - might get a bit of fun.

Or maybe not after that miss

Trump 3-1

Slim hope to no hope - Trump 4 - 1

Kyren steals from snookers required.

Would have been a 1.01 bust on the frame, I bet.

^^^^^^^^^

Probably!

Have just noticed that there is no Eurosport coverage of the afternoon session for tomorrows final (just evening).

Trump domination season,after last season he has to have really good season..

£56k matched so far on the final v £19m on the Hundred final so far....

3 on the spin for Juddley, 7-3 to 7-6, Baz making plenty of mistakes.

It's desperate really.

Bazza stops the rot to lead 8-6. Judd needs 3 in a row to win otherwise it's Bazzas !

Fair play, taken these well.  Baz stops the rot, goes to the hill, 8-6.

How are ya, mate?  Must admit, I've not done much of this this week.  Been out and about a couple of days and missed a few other sessions.

Barely touched it this week mate. Been taking it easy before the US Open. The markets are disheartening and getting on at the bookies is getting more laborious each day it seems ! You getting involved in the US Open at all ?

Unlikely, mate, TBH.  Got plenty on this coming week anyway.

Well done, Baz!

GL with the US, Toady!

should have lost to james cahill, who had so many chances to put him away but bottled it
