I was worried he'd put himself under pressure to get to the crucible, struggle and waste a lot of time and effort on matches he should win.
Glad to see that's not the case.
McManus really wants to wear the trousers again leads 4-0

What a sweet last red from Un-Nooh just now. Going for 144. Had to take blue and pink once.

He made the 144! That takes some resolve after the shattering disappointment of the 147 disaster earlier.
Not sure what the prize is for the highest break. (which Un-Nooh now has).
Officially, it's stated that it's £1,000 for non-televised highest and £10,000 for televised highest.
But that may mean £1,000 for the highest in qualifying and £10,000 for the highest at the Crucible?

Maybe Un-Nooh was trying to make a point about maximum break prize money being insufficient.

Jason Francis said on Twitter that £8500 for maximum in qualifier and £1000 for top break. However not sure if that's accurate.
He said only person ever to do it was Robert Milkins (twice)

I find the way that the last round of qualifying is now called Judgement Day to be extremely cheesy.

Ebdon's late night finish doesn't seem to have harmed him.
3-0

I think it's more like 3rd time unlucky.

By the way, that was an unbelievable comeback from Ebdon against Greene, like it was his destiny to play his alter ego
How long was that match? Record is 698 minutes, it was close to that, wasn't it?

Neal mentioned they have the rights to show six tables I'm guessing that's why there are some odd streaming choices. This way world snooker are able to flick through all the interesting matches.
And they managed to stick livesport with Ebdon.

What a crap choice for streamed matches... even for WS usual picks, this is beyond belief... they coulnd't have picked the 2 worst matches to televise...
Doherty v Day, great match up, Wilson v Stevens, a cracker, Carter v Dale, also good, Guodong v Wenbo, possibly the two greatest chinese players after Ding, and even Dotty v Dunn is better than the 2 streamed ones.
