Betfair World Championship Qualifying Round 1 (6-7th April)

MOD needed a snooker, laid one and Pengfei hits it.

...Then goes in off

But the MOD misses the black

I think Yates was so worked up my MOD's carelessness he called him Martin Gould.

There is some leeway Skullman, it's why they have 6 tables put the matches on 6 then 4 then 6. You're more likely to be pulled off if the 2nd lot of matches over runs

PASSAKOWN on the scoreboard, 1-5

And first match to finish all nine frames is Un-Nooh v Donaldson.

Scott made a good comeback attempt but Un-Nooh ends the session with his three frame lead back, 6-3.

Edit: Un-Nooh makes a ton as well

Un-Nooh is bucking class

That's a lovely photo Smart. Is it actually Jewell or a look-a-likey?

Just realised every player in 2:30 session is a different nationality (counting England, Wales and Scotland as different countries). Must be a first?

yeah patrick so far playing well.

meanwhile, Drago goes 1 nil up but against an opponent who can barely pot a ball, but I'm sure the player from Egipt is a bit better than he has showed so far.

Anyone know who's the commentator on the Drago match? I've heard him on another couple of matches in recent times, I think he's good.

its here the wc quals
Drago plays Khairy, already won the first frame
looks like he is in good form, I dont want to say anything but I think he can get a better result than last year when he lost his only match against an amateur
Khairy hasnt won a match so far this season, so should be easy but knowing Drago...
also its Khairy's first streamed match I think
Drago's hair looks so dark, I think he had it dyed

That's why he's called the Tornado makes a ton of 114 in barely 4 or 5 minutes.

3 nil to him, Luca under the cosh at 2 nil, while Mehta and Wells 1 all and Li Yan is 2 nil up on Robbie Williams.

Commentators are Hector Nunns and Mark Johnston Allen, not watching at the moment so don't know which.

Thanks

Funny someone should say that about Drago, Matt just said the same thing to me. He's scratching his scalp as well, what a giveaway! #justformen

Luca 3-0 down but not to worry, long way to go.

yes badly needs this frame before the MSI, 4 nil down even in best of 19 can be difficult to recover from.

Luca now 3-0 down.

But he was 3-0 down to Mark King in the UK as well and had less frames to come back in...

Drago cueing well and so is 4 nil up, but against an opponent who can't manage to put any sort of pressure of him.

yeah Luca needs to start scoring a few to make him restore his confidence.

Somehow not seeing Drago being pulled off early. Already at the MSI.

Why not? it's Drago so we know what to expect but yeah, I understand your point cause he does tend to miss a lot of balls and not finish the frames early, but so far in this match he has been cueing well, made a ton of 114 in barely 4 or 5 minutes.

This seems like a very swift session, especially compared to last session. Most matches this morning were at this stage two hours in instead of one hour in.

patrick 73 points ahead with 67 on, and so Luca needs 2 snookers, not impossible of course.

But has I say that he misses and duly concedes.

4 nil down, definately has to start make something happen after the MSI, patrick playing very wll so far.

Er pulled off early means taken off because they couldn't finish all the frames in time. I'm not expecting that happen because Drago's playing someone giving him plenty of chances and Drago's a quick player.

Khairy gets a frame on the board.

yeah, must have misread something

And Luca's on the board as well.

Loveeeee love drago

Luca looks better now. Wonder if Patrick will get nervous now...
