Ben has left Ronnie off in this frame

ROS might've let Ben off. Still possible for him to win...

2-3 now.

who ever wins this frame wins the match

3-3.

Well played ROS for winning, shame Ben took his foot off the gas.

Back boys and girls, is it me or is the bottom half of this draw ridiculously stronger than the top half?

Walden, Dott, Murphy, Robertson, Bingham, Fu, Trump, M Davis, Allen and Williams

Woollaston is struggling with his game at the moment, but a win is a win. He will certainly need to up his game if he is to have any chance of beating Alfie later today.

Your irony is sometimes very stupid, but nevertheless Ben played pretty well and unlike you said if he plays like this will have every chance of at least reaching the semis, depending on who he faces.

Ronnie didn't play bad at all, had 2 tons and still lost, Ben making one of his own in the last frame.

Top quality match, the better player won today, simple as that.

Ben

I am surprised O'Sullivan isn't playing in the seniors this month. I thought the best of 3 format would have suited him down to the ground.

Loool nothing gets past you does it

Huh, Ben won after all.

And considering I left two hours ago and Ding v Lawler isn't on, I'm going to say Ding won.

Anyway, c'mon Mags

Barring snookers, Ben Woollaston is the first man into finals day.

Max alert Mags...
