Great win for Sam Baird over Trump to reach the semis in Sofia. Also means Ding is out of the Champion Of Champions as the last berth will go to today's winner (Baird, Allen, Williams or Day)

Mark Allen demolishes Mark Willams with a terrific performance. How had Ding qualified TC ? Through his ranking ?

Winner of an Asian Tour event (2015 Haining Open) - which was next in line after the Bulgarian Open.

It starts tomorrow mate.

And yes, Ronnie declined the invite so there will be a new winner as he is the only player to have won this event.

It's on ITV4 all this week (both afternoon and evening sessions), so at least it's on proper telly.

Clive Everton confirmed on commentary too with Neal Foulds and Alan McManus, all good there.

Not bothered Ronnie is not playing ball again. He isn't the best player anymore I for one won't miss him when he hangs up his petulant boots.

You might be interested that on BBC iPlayer at the moment (it's actually been there for ages, I just got round to watching it last night) there is an old episode of Big Break from 1998.

It features the late Paul Hunter.

He'd hardly been invincible since the turn of the year anyway, however I think Robbo is overdue a major so I'll go for him

This 5th frame might take a while. Stuck in a serious safety battle

Which has ended and it's going to be well likely now Zhou's frame

So both the underdogs prevail, it'll be Zhou v Kyren tonight. Looking forward to that one! Good to see a decent crowd in as well 😀

Can't disagree with much of that 👍🏻

Whose idea was it to raise the frames to 11 for tonight? (6 to win) we could be looking at a serious over run

It's always been best of 11 in the evening in the CofC.....to give it a one table Masters feel I guess......

Reason it's been running a bit slow tonight, partly, is because there's been about 20 minutes of fruitless playing on for snookers.....one of my pet hates tbh
