Really good performance tonight from Allen, deserved to make the final. He will lose there of course but a breakthrough week to be sure to be sure.

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.

If Allen gets a good start he will have the advantage over Judd,Who will be well aware of his poor record against Allen.

Ten of those games were as amateurs
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.

I think he was alright
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.

Robbo was trying to become the new 'Robbie Foldvari'.

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.
