Mens Final (best of 13)

Robin Hull (Finland) 4 - 1 Gareth Allen (Wales)

Masters Final (best of 11)

Darren Morgan (Wales) 2 - 2 Alan Trigg (Ukraine)

Ladies final (best of 9)

Wendy Jans (Belgium) 2 - 0 Anastasia Nechaeva (Russia)

Looking a bit painful at the moment, a good start to the frame by Allen but Hull mops up to take a 5 - 1 lead

Morgan / Trigg 2- 2 in the Masters, Anastasia Nechaeva has pulled 1 back in the Ladies

The problem for Anastasia Nechaeva in the Ladies is that she's not much of a break builder, whereas Jans is - so she has to try to keep Jans out. Jans just managed another half century break, just enough left on for Nechaeva to take the frame.

Mens Final (best of 13)

Not 100% certain what the link will be for this afternoon's session of the Mens Final - likely a different link though.

Probably reached once it's on by going to http://sport.tvp.pl/ and clicking on the 'transmisje' tab

2013 European Masters Champion is Darren Morgan of Wales, beating Ukraine's Alan Trigg 6 - 3

Mens Final back up and running here :

http://sport.tvp.pl/5189542/inne/pozost ... onej-gorze

Gaz flukes a key red, pullsback to 5-2

The problem for Gareth Allen is that there seems no stopping Robin Hull from scoring - really impressed with cue ball control, Hull's on a really big break now

Hull missed the black, still a break of 127 - a thing of real beauty! Leads 6 -2

Gaz potted a red, but not sure what happened with the green he then played, Hull back in and scoring, managed to split the pack too

I have no idea how Hull can put together breaks this well under pressure, or doesn't he feel it as pressure? Little chance for Allen now ...

Closing out with two century breaks

2013 European Mens Champion is Robin Hull of Finland, beating Wales' Gareth Allen 7 - 2

Well played Robin Hull disappointment for Gaz though

Congratulations Robin Hull!

Great display in final and throughout the tournament! Nobody could stop him.
I really hope Hull will take up his place on tour this time around, it would be kickin following a fellow finn on the tour.

I understand from interviews it is travelling costs that has been an issue with Hull. I sure hope he can get a sponsor or something. Also with his impressing break building ability he is a man that would benefit in the new flat system. He could be a force to be reckoned with even amongst the pros.

So I hope Robin takes the tour card and joins the tour! Welcome back, Robin!

Quote from EBSA website "Robin will now be nominated by the EBSA to take up a place on the World Snooker Main Tour this season". They also mention he had 31 breaks of 50+ in the tournament, which leads nicely into a final run down of high breaks - which certainly show the dominant players were the dominant break builders:
