Mark Selby v Ricky Walden
Judd Trump v Tian Pengfei
Dechawat Poomjaeng v Rod Lawler
Alan McManus v Mark Allen
Great win for Pengfei this morning over his 'rabbit' O'Sullivan. Love to see barmy old Jack win the event, super victory over Robbo already today for him....
I quite agree. It will raise the standard for sure but the romanticism of the comp has now gone. I doubt we will see players like Doug Mountjoy in the latter stages now.

Or even the first round for that matter. Assuming they enter, with the likes of Alan McManus, Joe Perry, Mark Davis, Dominic Dale, Fergal O’Brien and Mark King now eligible and vying for the few spots not pre-occupied by former World Champions / Seniors winners, there's little to no chance of seeing Doug's ilk in Blackpool.
Exciting climax to the six reds sees Maguire pip Walden 7-6 clinching the decider on the brown to pick up the 2,500,000 baht (50K) first prize. Say what you like about the validity of the six reds but when you're playing the colours for a difference of thirty grand try telling the players it doesn't matter!
Don't read if you plan to watch the highlights later

Thanks. I posted it, then got home just in time to catch it - forgot to edit my post lol.
Interesting match: the fluke of Ronnie, and that miscue on the yellow.
regarding Ali Carter, great news that he's coming back to the baize, hope all his bad luck his behind him now and he can concentrate on snooker!
Was it televised ?
no it wasn't unfortunately.

Will also gain him a place in the Champion of Champions later this year.
oops, my mistake, he's got 19, getting ahead of myself there!
ah good, bet world snooker are happy with that, they need spaces to be filled don't they!

Understandable but a bit of a shame IMO.

Onto the Shangers then, really looking forward to this one, a full field and the most prestigious ranker of the season so far.
40 is a bit too young to be truly senior to my mind. Even 45 was too young as well.
