Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllleluyahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!.Must be a lot of wrong buttons gettin pressed!!.


Talkin of Ken,what a bonus beating Lee,to go with his *147*!. Ken Doherty 4-3 Stephen Lee

brilliant clearance from Advani from 0-66 made a 67 break

Got back to hear ES say Advani made a good 67 clearance from 0-66 against Higgins to 2-1 up.

Absolutely brilliant clearance there... just shows the talent he has got having recently qualified for the International Open

And it´s Higgins who usually makes those sort of clearances against his opponents... a taste of his own medicine there...

CMON ADVANI

Higgins hasnt potted a ball since his last shocking miss last frame..

and already 68 nil to Advani in this 4th frame...

Advani makes a good 68 break. Wonder if Higgins will try to get revenge here?

Higgins is in. Let's see what he can do...

Miss the red apparently. 3-1.

Doesn't he get fined as well as there were enough points on the table for him to win when he conceded?

Skullman wrote:Higgins is in. Let's see what he can do...

this frame very very similar to last one, where Advani cleared up... Can Higgins do the same here? even the red behind the black was in the same psition last frame...

EDIT: Higgis misses... and immediatly concedes

he should get...

FLUKES

Honest John telling his opponent to sit down...

Frustration getting the better of him... he's learning it from Ronnie

HiGGINS

Higgins has been a bit iffy all day. Just finally met an opponent who can punish, unlike Leslie and Steadman.

Advani wins. Has King next.

Only two months into his first season as a pro and on his TV debut against John Higgins, he wins

Jewell wrote:Higgins tried to intimidate his opponent. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't have the aura that Ronnie O'Sullivan possesses.

Yeah got to agree with that... he used to have that aura in him 2 seasons ago when he was winning everything and seemed unbeatable, but now he is reaally playing awful snooker....

Let's see if this pattern continues for the rest of the season... but of course still too early, and he has shown that at any time he can win an event, when seemmingly out of form

wow i didnt expect Advani win
next is Mark King possible to get to the quarters
the last 16 matches look very good

John Higgins 1-4 Pankaj Advani



Well done Advani!!.


He started off bad but then when he potted the first red which ended bein a 67 break to pinch the 3rd frame by 1 point,he suddenly started to flow.


It doesn,t surprise me at all how Higgins played,i said it a good while ago that he,s been hovering around that kind of form,or better said,<bad form> for ages.



And no,i,m not tryin to bring on excuses,its his own fault if he thinks he take time off and get away with it,his takin time outs for sure isn,t helpin his form is it!.





Strange that he,s takin so much time off,when he was banned he said that when he could start playin again that he would work hard and that it would make him more determined to win.
Maybe he has been doin a lot of undercover practise who knows,but even if he has,it,s not doin him much good either,maybe he,s just startin to decline like it happens to all the players at some point no matter how much practice one puts in or maybe he,s just gotten lazy which is understandable,i mean it,s not as if he,s just been practising for 2,3 years,the love of the game,the practise routines do get boring at some point.

Selby 3-2 down to Davis . After being in such good form before as well.

Decider alert between Selby and Mavis. Much closer than last year's PHC final, although I hope the result's the same. I think Scott Donaldson is still out there fighting too.

Mavis needs a snooker now, and Donaldson fought from 0-3 to 3-3. Late night tension...

Selby wins, Donaldson loses. That's all the pro snooker for today done.

I'll be out for most of the weekend so good luck Robbo, Smurph and Adi for tomorrow.
