you have a good scoop of drink thru the day and are getting into the swing of things then stupidly come home to get ready etc but then lose momentum and motivation and end up not being fussed with the thought of heading back out?

I agree. I reckon this could be Trump's week.

Though, it'd be a better story if Mark "I hate Hearn" Allen won the title. :bow:

That said, Allen is a very good player, has a bit of class about him and won't bow under pressure. I think this could go either way.


Trump played like an amateur yesterday. :-D

I think he was alright <ok> the way Robertson played was never going to lead to quality. It's why even great players rarely look their best against people like Harold & O'Brien, it's always something of a slog. Robertson was pushing out his shot times considerably last night.

Another good semi final. Ricky can be very proud of what he has achieved this week. Allen was just a bit more experienced and I think that made the difference in the end. Hopefully Walden can push on now and get himself as soon as possible back in the top 16. He showed this week that he (and Marco Fu) should be in there.
