Dafabet World Championship Qualifying Rnd 2 (10-11th April)

Steve eventually falls over the line. 8-5. Still a long way to go if he wants to win...

Looks like Burden and Angles finish at the same time, 10-4 and 10-2 repsectively.

Alfie has Kyren next, while Angles has the winner of Line v Xin Long (still at 5-5... )

Dechawat Poomjaeng 8-6 Zhang Anda
Steve Davis 5-8 Craig Steadman
Jimmy Robertson 9-5 Liam Highfield
Anthony McGill 7-7 Thanawat Tirapongpaiboon
Alfie Burden 10-4 Barry Pinches
Rod Lawler 3-10 Kyren Wilson
Andrew Higginson 8-5 Martin O'Donnell
Kurt Maflin 8-6 Daniel Wells
Peter Lines 5-5 Cao Xin Long
Alan McManus 10-2 Paul S Davison
Aditya Mehta 9-4 Christopher Keogan

Thats a great result for Kyren.

ok Rod Lawler not a top player but hes the type that can frustrate young players in to submission so for kyren to win 10-3 is impressive.

Careless positional shot from Wells leaves a toughish pink which he misses, but Kurt misses it and it's 8-7 now.

Kurt must be getting nervous now...

McGill and Thanawat Tirapongpaiboon playing Snooker leapfrog. if it continues like this TT will win lol

Max alert Maflin. On 56 atm...

Jaws ninth red in left middle and flukes it into the right. Max still on...

Just one red near the side cushion...

Awkward red is potted and now just the colours...

Blue is off the spot though, could be an issue.

Misses on 134

Still, he stops the rot and is now 9-7 up on Wells.

Can't believe Maflin missed that pink

Ants McGill has a run of frame of his own and is now 9-7 on TT.

Steadman now 9-5 up on Davis barring snookers.

And Maflin finishes off Wells 10-7. Decent fightback from Daniel but not enough this time.

the only consistent thing about Daniel Wells is he will lose

Right, so this frame could be the last Steve Davis plays as professional...

Steve Davis 5-9 Craig Steadman

Funny that if Steve does fall off he'll very fortunately have more time to promote his autobiography. I reckon once he's done that he'll just jump straight back on the tour.

or the next or the next but one thing for sure tomorrow morning Steve will be waking up as a Amateur

At the point of no return, Steve Davis pulls out a great clearance. Should have made a century. Needs 4 more.

harsh, as always Wild

Unlucky there, missed a long blue on 97, would have been good to see him get a century in probably his last ever match as a professional. Its quite a moment really when you think about it. He must be thinking about it when he breaks off ''this could be my last break off as a professional''

You don't know that for sure.

By the way, who's the referee in the Davis - Steadman match?

One down, possible four to go.

Meanwhile Ants McGill prevails against TT, 10-7.

Anthony McGill 10-7 Thanawat Tirapongpaiboon

That was a bad miss on the pink from Steadman.
