Not sure re: streams - just watching it on TV.

Williams wins the last frame for 15-10. Still, there is just about a match on tonight.

Final session then.

Williams pots a beautiful opening red to the middle but its a tough angle on the black which is missed. Higgins currently on 29 and a strong favourite.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:19 (eight years ago)

This is going to be a long session, isn't it?

StanM, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:25 (eight years ago)

Clears up with a century: 15-11. xp = the last session was very quick, hardly any tactical stuff. I'd expect that to crop in if Higgins can get close.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:27 (eight years ago)

Only action I'll be able to see from this tournament, but bring it on you senior citizens.

Williams found a plant to get the break going lol.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:32 (eight years ago)

(still Williams-Higgins feels like I'm watching a forgettable 2008 semis or something. Except they're even uglier)

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:33 (eight years ago)

well well that was frame ball, tough red to the middle. I'd fancy John to clear up from here.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:34 (eight years ago)

Terrific Brown to yellow from John, forcing position there.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:38 (eight years ago)

You are John fucking Virgo and I claim my 5 quid

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:39 (eight years ago)

Fantastic clearance - this could still be a classic final: 15-12

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:40 (eight years ago)

Mark Williams looks like he's going to have a cardiac arrest tonight.

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:40 (eight years ago)

LOL why are you attacking me :-)

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:40 (eight years ago)

Sorry, just banter :) Love your commentary, am watching meself

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:41 (eight years ago)

cool, promise I won't go "where is the cue ball going?" in CAPS as if I'm shouting.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:43 (eight years ago)

what a pink to the middle from Williams, just pulled it out of the fire to try and make something happen for him tonight.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:44 (eight years ago)

47 break, didn't get anything from the split - good safety...he'll need more of that to get to the finish line.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:47 (eight years ago)

Higgins has left a tough red

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:48 (eight years ago)

misses it!

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:48 (eight years ago)

not floating in atm. Feeling for Williams, he is playing quite well and not doing a lot wrong.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:49 (eight years ago)

great shot from green to the bunch of reds - should clear up, again.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:53 (eight years ago)

great recovery shot from green to the final red.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:57 (eight years ago)

Astonishing: 15-13

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:59 (eight years ago)

Terrific (3-ball) plant from Higgins, now behind the green. On top of this safety exchange

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:04 (eight years ago)

51 break from Higgins and puts the brown safe.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:13 (eight years ago)

god this is a tough red - and misses it. Higgins now to win this

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:15 (eight years ago)

This is more impressive than Williams winning the first four frames in the afternoon session. Williams had actually a good couple of breaks.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:16 (eight years ago)

Mid-session often stops this so we'll see. Should be good.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:17 (eight years ago)

Such a classic crucible comeback, its what you get in this sport you don't get anywhere else. So many SF and Fs where there was no way back and then...the hunter often becomes the hunted.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:19 (eight years ago)

higgins comeback on a human face forever

imago, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:48 (eight years ago)

This is huge now..Williams on 40, pack split, should win.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:49 (eight years ago)

oh dear..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:49 (eight years ago)

Terrific opener from John, just fearing the worst now.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:50 (eight years ago)

15-15

I think that's such a key frame. When Williams allowed John in the prev times there were awkward positions or not quite right splits. That chance was really, really good.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:58 (eight years ago)

Not quite the cue ball control under the severest of pressures.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:58 (eight years ago)

At the next another good chance for Williams. Its just heartbreaking to watch, can he break this cycle of defeat?

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:00 (eight years ago)

Another 41 break, he is not over the line..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:01 (eight years ago)

We haven't had much safety at all so far

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:04 (eight years ago)

fucking hell man get over the line.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:06 (eight years ago)

finally! Williams back in front

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:08 (eight years ago)

Terrific long pot at the next from Williams

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:15 (eight years ago)

damn

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:16 (eight years ago)

Another terrific long pot but now its a tough pink

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:19 (eight years ago)

lots of cold blooded potting here

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:20 (eight years ago)

had to play it cool after that - this is so good. One frame away now.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:26 (eight years ago)

fuck me that pink

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:36 (eight years ago)

one pot from the fucking world title - and John has no obstacles to the clearance.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:37 (eight years ago)

holy fuck

xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:39 (eight years ago)

blimey

Thomas NAGL (Neil S), Monday, 7 May 2018 20:41 (eight years ago)

FUCK OFF
