The latter stages last year were on the Thai association's Facebook page but doesn't seem to be anything yet

Back to Leicester and looks like Rupesh Thakkar was a no show. Imran Puri goes through.

The two Ronnie's both in action

I think it will be a case of goodnight from me and goodnight from him.

I wonder if Ronnie Sullivan has a fake moustache and wig to disguise he has dropped the O.

So for turning up Imran Puri makes it to round three as he has a bye in Round 2. Good job sir!

Torabi of Iran gets a walkover

If only he'd done better in event 1 he'd be sitting pretty on the order of merit

Luo Zetao wins 4-0

Mickey Joyce is 3-0 down. Not a good day for Mrs Joyce.

Heather Clare has potted 2 of the first 3 reds in her first frame. Currently 6-2 down in points

She loses the frame but did pot a 3rd red.

OK. Thanks for having a look, anyway.

Does Heather lose a bet every year to enter this or something?

It's interesting as I don't think she competes on the women's tour...I could be wrong

First two centuries of the event made by a Frenchman and a Romanian.

Bai Yulu reaches the 3rd Round by beating Zac Cosker 4-1 and Getting a bye over the already qualified Andrew Pagett

Giving her 15 Frames.

Shes a smart cookie by entering this instead of the Asian one she puts herself with a chance of playing Q Tour...and if she gets enough frames she could be a top up...but long way to go on that score

I keep hoping he'll make it back on tour given how unlucky he was to drop off last time (especially with all the wildcards being handed out to players doing much worse than he did) but it looks increasingly unlikely he'll do it.

Yes, he was relegated by £500, finishing 5th on the 1-year top-up list behind two amateurs (an unfair rule).

It's not looking good for him. At the very least he needs to get on Q Tour to continue his development.

Patrick Whelan got all the way to round 5 in Q1. Out in first round in Q2. Probably cost him a place on Q Tour.

Was Francisco Domingues named after Silvino?

three now. The 3rd from a Hungarian!

I'm watching Scott Bell v Phil O'Kane.

These two are both pro standard when it comes to potting and white ball control. Great to watch.
They just both break down on 20-30 and leave the opponent in. Phil will probably win, he's a bit better.
But if either of these guys tightened up a bit...
So much natural talent

Fantastic 49 break from Andrew Tapper. Seriously, it was very very good.

Ok, back to Bell O'Kane

That's definitely her

She uses a very thick tip pool cue, so is probably more adept at pool.

She's rubbish at snooker though, not too dissimilar to my level.
