It's almost as if the audience is comatose. Then again four boring players are playing right now so it's understandable.

How anyone can describe Murphy or Hawkin as boring is beyond me.

I feel the same about Higgins and Mags.

Presume these 2 outer tables will be shifted tonight and seating put in at both sides?

Higgins level at the MSI despite being clear second best.

I've seen him do it many times, but it still astounds me how he does it.

Well Maguire has been missing balls you expect him to get too. He did get a kick in the last which allowed Higgins to get to 2-2 and up his pot success to 85%

PSB Matt has just done a high profile interview. He's buzzing, I can't wait to see it.

Maguire picked himself for best temperament in "my perfect player"

I'm sry but this fourth frame has shown why Maguire is still not a World Champion. The guy is just too temperamental. Went for a silly shot into the middle where it was almost clear that he would have left it in the case of missing it. He belongs to the type of players who are still losing too many frames after beeing 40 or 50+ ahead in a frame.

He has had a result here. John isn't cueing well and left Maguire a lot of chances so far. But his last meetings with Maguire showed that he won't get away with poor performances, so he'll have to play better if he wants to win this match.

Where did you see that?

The obvious question here is who's the interviewee?

It was on the BBC "Perfect Player" feature.

How high is high profile? He's done Selby, Murphy and Steve Davis.

Hawkins on 96% pot success.

He's playing alright, isn't he?

I'm certain Selby fans want Murphy to win. Mark has a terrible record against Barry, hasn't he?

Hawkins takes his third frame in a row against Smurph with a ton.

To be honest I'm happy to bet that Barry will make it to the 2014 crucible final at the moment.

Strange shot choice by Higgins there, 3.2 down

Well I want Shaun to win because I'm a Murphy fan. Anyway, I don't mind if Mark takes on Barry next because it'll make his eventual tournament victory even better knowing that he beat one of his bogey players on the way.

A great pack splitting shot from mags there!

Looks like Mags has gone up a level, seeing that Higgins can't really hurt him tonight.

Nice century from mags for 4-2

And Mags makes the tournament's new highest break, a 142.

That last red was brilliant.

I admire you for your calmness. I would be furious or very disappointed if Ronnie played like John tonight.

142 break from mags, highest I think?

Ayrshirebhoy wrote:142 break from mags, highest I think?

Yeah, he has beaten Robertsons 141.

This is the first snooker I've watched in awhile so that's a treat in itself. Came to terms with Higgins form some time ago

You're very confident, aren't you?

With all the top players still left, it's very difficult to predict to winner right now.

This is essentially the line up of the Masters, and we all know how well Mark does there.

Smurph levels after losing three in a row against Hawkins.
