Lol, a professional should almost always beat an amateur.

Selby is on his way out. Yan is a really top player though, that shot to pot the brown to go 11-7 up was a bit of magic. Just willed that in.

Lol @ Selby losing the longest frames (including the longest in crucible history). He is one away from going home.

goodbye xunt

Yan ends Selby's defence of the title with a century.

wilson bingham shaping up into a humdinger

Yeah Bingham should've closed it out actually but he made a stupid error on 8-5. Wilson then grabbed the rest of the session.

if i was Neil Robertson i would simply ask my barber not to make me look like a twat

he should have stuck with the curly perm

The haircut's match is going to a decider.

Incredible clearance from Lisowski there

Yeah really good. And he wins at the next.

Don't think he's that good on the safety game but I am glad Robertson is out.

pro-english posting is it ? you'll be arrested and thrown in jail (rightly so)

xp

same. great last frame that, nerves and all

Saengkham's shoes are extremely cool

O'Sullivan is pretty much in the semis. Totally undisturbed run.

Yan has been brilliant tonight. 6-2 down now 7-7. This breaks started with a double.

Another beautiful century by O'Sullivan to reach his 13th century SF. He wins it 50% of the time from here you know.

I introduced snooker to my in-laws over in Poland over Easter! They all got hooked on it. We were watching on Eurosport. It was annoying how when Radzi Chinyanganya was talking to pundits Jimmy and Ronnie* who were pundits in what looked like a basement their voices were immediately overlaid with the Lektor translation, but that's Polish TV for you! For some reason Poles have never got into subtitles.

* playing and pundit-ing. Bit unusual, I thought.

Danger signs for Mark Williams. 9-8 down then on a 28 break and an easy miss on a red..

Made a century at the next chance he got.

Haven't seen a young player this together in all areas of the game at a World Championship since Selby.

some vintage stuff being played in that rn

10-10 at the mid session. Excellent response by Mark.

Incredible clearance by Williams, he is one away..

filth from williams in the final frame

clutch from higgins

Jack choked.

Trump is red hot so far. 3-0 against Williams.

Judd is playing ok but Williams is not at the races. On the way to losing the session 7-1

Trump Higgins would be the nightmare final

nothing to do but grit teeth and hope judd does it again in that case tbh

Higgins 3-0 up and you are back posting on the thread. Perfect combo of shit.

Just like the afternoon both Judd and Higgins are helping themselves. Awful set of SFs so far.

Ok Ronnie is going now, great 70 break

Century for 3-3, he's been great

Just saw the last 5 mins but it looks like that was special from Ronnie to steal it at the last, 10-6

Williams has won the last four frames..

Five, he is two behind..

6-2 Williams, two behind. The two frames Trump won were centuries, but Williams' long potting was incredible throughout, he was so dominant for the rest of the time.

Incredible break from Ronnie. 80 from v little available. 11-7.

Fantastic century from Ronnie and now John. 12-9. Quietly impressive for John to have won 8 frames with a highest break of 58 but he needs to score heavier if he is going to push Ronnie.

Ruthlessly punishes an error by John for another Ronnie century. The 100th of the championship.

That error broke Higgins. Ronnie wins the next two, with a century at the last. 15-9.

Disappointing from Williams, just went for a bit too much when there was a safety shot on. Trump went onto win 14-11.

Williams was going to lose the next but Judd got unlucky and then Williams pulled a couple of gorgeous long pots on the yellow and green to keep himself in the match.

14-13.

Williams is not winning in one visit, it's getting nervy but Williams is killing it with his long potting. Judd will win if he scores heavy under pressure, but its getting scrappy and Williams will win if it shapes up like that.

At the next Williams pots a beautiful long red bridging over the green.

Went on to clear up, 14-14.

15-15. Williams has shot his 16th century, equalling Hendry's record (from 2002) in a WC.
