impressive display from Carrington with breaks of 129, 87 and 68 to take a 3-1 lead at the interval.

its great to see Chris Wakelin starting to put a run together massively underachieved so far in his pro career.

Ian Glover steals the fifth frame with a break of 67 to lead Vinnie Calabrese 3-2.

Jak Jones looks to be building on his decent showing in Riga - 3:1 up on Cao XinLong...

Sam Baird beat Lu Ning 5-3

Lee Walker beats Elliot Slessor 5-2

Jak Jones wins another match, LOL.

Beating Cao Xin Long 5-2, seems like matches involving Cao always finish late, even whitewashes!

I was a bit afraid of Drago losing cause last year Mo Khairy won his first match here. Still Saif got close so here's a picture of him young

And I couldn't watch, how did Pagulayan play?

Watched a bit of it, he's a decent long potter but needs to improve on break building and safety.

He hasn't got much experience on star tables.

lots of pressure on the seeded players with seeded losers getting no points.

Jimmy White though is under less pressure than others in the knowledge come end of season he will still be playing with this Barry Hearn bullocks card.

that cant be fair or a level playing field.

Great start for Alex Davies first scoring chance he wins the 1st Frame over Peter Lines with a break of 85.

Nigel Bond 0-0 Li Hang

this is extremely poor stuff from Lisowski.


he cant expect all these chances and not make the most of them at this level......he really needs to shape up now.

Just wait; my prediction for Barry's master-plan for the 2015/16 season is that seeded losers be shot at dawn...

Kyren Wilson without hitting anything like his top form Moves 3-0 clear of Dave Gilbert.

Kyren Wilson has a better understanding of breakbuilding than Lisowski has despite Lisowski being higher up the rankings by some distance.

Jack is a raw potter.

Swail won 2 scrappy frames to take a 3-1 lead over Jimmy White

Lisowski is playing like he did when he first entered the tour. He has to mature his game if he'll ever want to wi a tournament or even break into the top 32 in the rankings. I bet Ross Muir will win a ranker before Lisowski does.

e. And I don't mean the latter as belittling Muir's ability because I really like his style of play. Grinders ftw

First man through to round 3 is Michael Wasley with a 5-2 win over Gerard Greene rounding off the match with his second century.

Jack Lisowski 3-3 Michael Georgiou
Cao Yupeng 4-0 Barry Pinches

Kyren Wilson with the aid of a break of 112 in frame 4 beats Dave Gilbert 5-1

Michael Georgiou leads Jack Lisowski 4-3 with a top break of 45, 39 and two breaks of 26.
