Decider alert between Robbo and Jak Jones.

Great Run by Sean O'Sullivan in to the last 32 from QR 1 meaning 4 matches won meaning he has 40 points towards the EBSA Tour Qualifying Route and 1917 towards the European Tour Order of Merit.

Sean has reached the last 32 of a PTC twice before his second was in APTC this season.

Dott finishes Jamie Jones off 4-0. Some close frames but Jones was poor and a comfortable win for Dott.

And looks like ES will only show one more match at 5:30. Shame.

If Robertson beats Jones it will be his match with Sean O'Sullivan.

And barring snookers, Jones prevails in the decider against Neil Robertson. Only his second victory as a professional and his first against another professional.

Robbo already needs 2 four point snookers to win against Jack Jones.

Big Big win for Jack should he really win the match.

He didn't win a single match last season losing in 16 Events and winning just 35 frames.

Thats a massive surprise he beat Robertson.

Best bet for a TV Match is Woollaston v Allen

Last TV match today will be Mavis v Holt. Guess most of the good ones won't be on soon enough for ES.

Wow,Dotts actualy won a match again for a change!.




Bl**dy nora,Robbo loses to Jones!.


Well,thats it for Robbo now i,m afraid,i knew it would happen soon,bit surprised it started to happen so soon though!,Robbos carreer is over!,his plunge is inevitable now,he did,nt even shoot 1 century in this match!.


Ah well,at least he managed to win 10 ranking titles,shoot 367 centuries,2 *147,s* and be the first human ever to hit the 100 centuries in a season in his very short carreer,he had his bit of fun,fame and fortune £.

It was a pleasure watchin you play Robbo,but your time is up,all things come to an end my freind,all the best and safe journey back to kangroo land!.

Judd 2-0 to Baird. Baird is a much better player than Jones, but this would still be a shock if Judd loses.

Woollaston v Allen is a better match

Undoubtedly, but we know that PTCs are especially bad for not picking the best matches.

Skullman wrote:Undoubtedly, but we know that PTCs are especially bad for not picking the best matches.

yes its a bad trate of Mike Ganley his team and eurosport in not using much sense at times.

Just got in from work. I got Holt vs Mavis on. Is this really the last match of the night?

Must say I don't care who wins this.It'll be Mavis, but I don't care either way.

Looks like another top 8 seed bites the dust. Barring a snooker, Murphy going to lose 4-3 to Matthew Selt.

Selt was prattling on about the moon landing being fixed on twitter the other week.

Not looking good for Judd either. Baird's just made a century to go 3-0 up...

Shouldn't be drinking as I have a few pounds of 'holiday weight' to shift. But dammit, that 12 pack in my fridge looked inviting. Cracking open a post work can of beer with the snooker....

Not loving Eurosport putting commercials mid frame.

Holt bottling it, as usual.

A bunch shocks happening one after another. Robbo out, Smurph out, Judd 3-0 down and now Allen is 3-0 to Ben Woollaston.

Top half could really open up in about half an hour.

Will Michael Holt beating Mark Davis be considered a shock? Discuss.

No,i,m not tryin to make excuses for the <shock> loses,but i really do think that these loses are mainly due to the fact that it,s high summer.

The likes of Robbo,Murphy,Trump,Allen,Dale probably won,t be giving a monkeys about losin in this tourney,no disrespect to the tourney,but it,s not as if it,s a top tourney is it and its not as if they desperately need the £,unlike the lower ranked players who certainly could do with a bit of extra cash.

They,re probably glad they lost so they can get back out and enjoy the summer ,the next tourneys just around the corner anyway too,and even after that,there,s plennnnnnty more tourneys to look forward too.
