International Championship Last 16 Discussion !!!

Ebdon is losing 4-0.

11.30am

Peter Ebdon 0-4 Jamie Burnett
Michael White 5-2 Ian Burns
Li Hang 1-5 Ronnie O'Sullivan
Stuart Bingham 1-3 Mark Allen

Li's arm loosened up now he's at the point of no return.

Some better stuff from Bingo to close to 3-2 in one visit.

And it ends up being a 128tc

And it's a straightforward 6-1 win for ROS

In all seriousness, I think ROS has this event barring something bizarre happening or Marco being in top form.

another stephen lee in the making

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to mention Allen is fat.

plz dont mention THAT pink

i still cant forget it.

You mean the pink ROS tried to pot into the middle pocket?

And we have the second winner of the session, Mike White beating Ian Burns 6-2.

Ronnie without hitting top gear, he didn't have to, wins confortably.

Should be a cracking match tomorrow v Williams who appears to be regaining some good form.

I don't expect Ronnie to lose as he since 2002 always wins against Williams (CL ) but I think it will be a close match and Ronnie won't run way with it, for me 6-4 or 6-5 in Ronnie's favour.

MJW has too much respect/fear for ROS. He'll tighten up. 6-2 or 6-3.

I dread the ROS v MJW match, I'll be supporting the latter for sure but I don't think he'll stand a chance :/ I don't want to see him lose, especially after doing so well.

If Williams somehow wins the match though nothing would make me happiest than to se him win this title, I think he may have a ranking event still left in him, and an overseas one like this one may be his best chance, if he can win against Ronnie and put the old ghosts behind him, he can definately win the whole thing.

Bingo levels 3-3. Hopefully the match will heat up from here.

Who's the better player right now - Bingham or Allen?

Burnett 5 nil up

Allen will bottle it

Neither player playing well right now.

Think so too...

In his first match Allen did a whitewash, in his second one he did a 5-frame comeback, and in his third match he's not playing very well. I wonder how he'll play tomorrow if he gets through this.

Three frames in a row for Bingo, barring snookers.

I think Bingo's going to win the match, he seems to be potting better than Allen.

I think Bingham's the only one left that's capable of beating Ronnie. Actually, I would go a few steps further and say that on current form Bingham would be favourite to beat Ronnie, should they meet.

O'Sullivan versus Williams, that should be over in about an hour. Williams is beaten before he sets foot on the table. Baird would have had more chance, after all he has walloped O'Sullivan before.

I still cannot work out how World Snooker banned the likes of Peter Francisco, Quentin Hann, and Stephen Lee, yet Jamie Burnett continues to ply his trade.

Ebdon pulls one back. Still 1-5 behind.

Yeah agree with you, but Ronnie is playing much better in this tournament than what he did in the UK Champs last season when Bingo beat him, should they indeed meet in the semis I think Ronnie will prove too strong for him, you can see Ronnie really came here to win the title, anything but a win would be disappointing.

Fu v Milkins also has potencial to be a good match tomorrow, honestly that one is 50/50 for me.
