Starts tomorrow at 0930. BO11s, 3 waves of 8 tables for the first few rounds. Guessing (hoping) we'll get 4 LV tables to choose from, though even then we'd be scraping the barrel a bit in some of the early sessions.

Yeah and even funnier thing is you know deep down, Shon is thinking he means me as well!
Well, the market agrees that this is a better chance for Zhou than what he was put in at. He was 3.75 with 365 when I posted last night. Now all he's got to do is pull it off!
Jimmy looks very skinny hope he's ok, ronnie in a weird mood atm, Zhou must fancy his chances today.
LMFAO! Ronnie saying Zhou could be a future WC on this intro piece on the Beeb. That doesn't seem to tally with the article above!
On the other table - BO11 and Hoss loses the first frame - goes from 2.0x out to 3.00?? wtf
It's like the good old days of BF, just the 2 frames played, Zhang has made a tonne, Hoss has made a tonne and I have made a tonne! 
2-0 Wrongholed. Zhou not shown much so far, and Ronnie not missing much, sadly.
78% pot success from Zhou for the mini-session, but he's on the board and has something to build on (!)
3-3 Hoss, 4-2- ROS but both making loads of mistakes
I've big Ronnie lay. He's wobbling and I think Zhou might actually start playing better. 1.1x is still dangerous. If they level I am a very happy bunny.
Cheers mate! Nothing compared to the Selby lay the other night 
That was a horrendous from Wrongholed (must admit, I have more of an eye on the other table, as it's turned out)
I was set to cry my eyes out had Zhous miss set up a Ronnie clearance there which felt very on, as it's classic Ronnie to be wilting bad and then flick a switch and make a lovely match changing break out of nowhere
This is Ronnie v Luca at the WC-esque, the balls he's missing
4-4 Hoss, who is having all the run, it has to be said.
Hoss playing with no fear right now and Anda is playing like a frightened mouse

Those two attempted safety shots in frames 10/11 by Zhou were just pathetic.

Hope you switched for plenty of green, mate?
Yeah, a very nice result all in all mate. Hoss getting the job done too for a small win, would have been more but the market wasn't very accepting of bets
I suspect we were going head-to-head for quite a bit of what you did get!
It's a strange phenom really. Didn't fancy for any frames when wilting with the lead, then when behind you just assume he will win. Wonder what his stats are for final frame deciders.

See you all for the later session tonight. Great line up. Even thought about getting tickets and going but not many friends let alone snooker friends !

Ronnie?
Over the course of his career:
Deciding frames: Played: 269 Won: 167 (62.08%)
Yeah. Ronnie. Cheers for the stats. Wondering what it's been the last few years. He reminds me a bit of Murray recently, where he gets drawn into dramatic dramas. Like he wobbles in the lead but strengthens when up against it!
23/24 = 4/4
22/23 = 2/5
21/22 = 8/17
20/21 = 6/13
19/20 = 9/14

Ha ha, yeah, i saw that. For a second i was sure she'd turn around to Shon and say "you were sat in that same seat 12 months ago Shaun when Ronnie wasn't quite so complimentary about Zhou" but instead she came out with some mind bogglingly boring cr@p about rhythm. Typical Ronnie! Typical BBC!
Had to leave match at 4-2, didn't foresee that happening but 6th was a good frame to win for Zhou. Good match for trading purposes i imagine.

Finally MJW wins the 8th frame - 101-94 - Most aggregate points in a frame ever.
Imagine scoring 94 points and losing the frame!
Imagine scoring 94 points and losing the frame!
i opened this page to ask whether that was most points, so it was then, 195, pretty crazy
i'll keep it open in case there is a frame 11

Former forumite GRANTCKING asked me to share his thoughts about that frame:
just say I said that frame was legendary, very purist!!

Grant's here! (sort of!)
Hope you're well and winning, mate?!

King Grant !!! Hopefully one of y'all layed that 1.26 Ding backer after Mark got out the snooker or was it the real time player scooping the lot again ?!
Thought 6-4 MJW was incoming. Interesting FFD this one. Gut says MJW still !
she continues to surprise, i barely recognise her
would love to see a ding vafai final, their world championship game was special
GSM Ding, but for that one horror shot played this very well. Williams had a bit of a mare I feel
I'm heading out shortly, but if I were staying in, both the rags would be of interest at the prices.
GL, all!
GL, all!
Sh!t, had a tenner on at 20/1 that Hoss pre match interview would contain the words "tear Ronnie a new arrishole" so am already chasing
fancy vafai strongly to beat ronnie today, he looks fearless at the moment and he makes big breaks for fun
Ronnie cruises 6-2. Hoss had a shocker last hour or so.
Have long been a fan of Hoss, i love the guy, but that was grim. Just don't know whats going through a fellas head when missing shots like he did today, so fcking frustrating. Another big occasion gets the better of him and he's hitting 30 with a habit of it. Not good.
that red by ding omg the fkin state of these tables
Great stuff from Ding, are we going all the way. I kind of want to see Judd take on Ronnie in the final but you gotta love Ding.
Ding gets the W 6-4, great performance from the great man !
Rare you'd see him pumped up like that. Seems to have a major boner for this tournament, far superior record in it than any of the other majors for some reason.
4-4, then, going into the final session. Did I miss anything in the afternoon?
Not seen much of this tournament, but if that ‘shot of the championship’ the bbc just showed is anything to go by, I’ve not missed anything
Was all balls over the pocket, or jammy escapes from snookers

Class from Ronnie at 7-7, really powered away !
Guys a freak but we already knew that. Fair enough showing from Ding all round, not 100% on stats but think he was sub 90% on potting and low 40s on long pots, you're not going to win many major finals with those kind of numbers tbf.
Once again the greatest player of all time gets it done. What a player when he wants to turn up.
amazing from the rocket, but he should have beaten twice in earlier rounds, he was very poor against milkins
if ronnie was more committed to the game he would have 12 worlds, 12 UK's and 12 masters minumum. he is different class. but he is lucky to be able to make millions playing this minority sport. uk, ireland and a few million in china. thats about it. no one else is bothered with the sport. it would be good if he would promote the game better and stop whining. he talks as if he expects the game to have the same facilities as the tennis majors, golf majors, the EPL or NBA.........its not a major sport. get a reality check ronnie.
his fans say look at what he brings to the game. he was born with this talent. he doesnt have to work hard at it. its a gift. he doesnt seem to appreciate it. its took ronnie 30 years to win the same amount of big events as it took hendry and davis 10 years. he admitted himself a few weeks ago that he should have 14 world championships. hes not wrong.
give him a few weeks and he will be trashing the sport again.
