Paul Hunter Classic (Kreativ Dental Clinic ET 2) !!!

Fair point.

Though I saw the replay twice, and still I'm not sure who was correct. Player or ref.

Murphy's opinion is usually: "The referee was spot on. I love referees. In fact, here are some more rules they should have enforced during the match. Also, did you see what happened in the Ricky Walden match yesterday? And now we mention it, Steve Davis should've won the 1985 final, Mags should've had his chalk that time, Freddy Krueger shouldn't have killed those children. Here's what I think of Barry Hearn. And Mark Allen. And Kirk Stevens. Also, the BBC have done nothing with my kick proposals .....

Murphy closes to 3-2.

Another comeback?

Though,in Murphy's defence, as much of a bellend as I think he is, he's one hell of a match player.

He never gives in, you have to scrape him off the the table.

TW always manages to look professional get nervous at the same time.

You seen the new trophy, Skull? Looks well nice, in my opinion.

Got to agree with Joe Johnson, Murphy looks ready to pounce....

AND MURPHY MISSES!

Come on Ali.

Come on Ali,great chance to clinch frame,match,ranking title nr 4!.

First blood Ali but just a roll up to show for it.

Murphy BLOB!

Wowwww!!,Murphy misses an easy pink to the middle.

And Carter takes the title

Kind of fitting that a tournament named in Paul Hunter's honour is won by someone's who gone through cancer himself. Twice.

Murphy.

Shaun. "There's heat..."

Ali. Bringing credt to the memory of Paul Hunter.

Final

Shaun Murphy 3-4 Allister Carter

And so it comes down to this. 20 beers in NY fridge on Friday, one left.

I an drinking that on Paul's behalf, and toasting Ali's success.

Wasn't a really good tournament but good to see Carter back.

Great to see Ali back and great to see him winning again, especially this tournament. Sometimes you really think, it's destiny.

Very well done Ali!.

"The Paul Hunter Classic" champion 2015!.







RIP Paul Hunter.

Nice one Ali. I'm now having a nightcap. For Paul.

Well done Ali!

BTW I've got disagree with Dave Hendon when he says that "it's not true that snooker is only a game". Snooker is only a game. It is only a stick and ball game, and if you can make it your livelihood then that's a bonus, but it doesn't confer unto snooker any real extra import. Shakespeare did not write "the slings and arrows of outrageous snooker" or "to be or not to be the snookered"

If you lose a snooker match, whether you're an amateur, novice or seasoned pro contesting the World Championship, pour yourself another drink and remember it's only a game.

Happy that Ali won this tournament, although far from being my favourite player as I never liked his often negative style of play, this tournament couldn't have been won by a better person in that Ali managed to beat cancer twice and of course this tournament honours the memory of a player which unfortunately cancer got the better of him.

he was very emotional and rightly so.

As for Murphy and his "excuse" for the heat, I don't think he was the only player to complain about it, yes it works both ways and he was lucky to even be in the final in the first place, but still if it's very warm in the arena it must be very hard to properly focus. In the end the better player won the tournament, Murphy apart from the heat can't complain because he had more than enough chances.

Happy for Ali and for being back in the winner's circle.

Great to see Carter win :) Shame I couldn't watch the whole match; I never do.

bullocks

if i was playing you id like to beat the crap out of you and if i lose id beat the crap out of the cat for weeks (if i had a cat).

That was a classy winning break from Ali. But why on earth Shaun decided to play pink while he had 21??! He could had easily disturb the reds or could had played to the loose reds if he only had played the black. Pinks like that are extremely difficult to pot, when you need to do even something with the cue ball. I spotted that "mistake" from Shaun immediately. That shot selection decided the title there.

Well, if you are ever in Bournemouth we can have a game, but you would probably lose if you played me and I wouldn't want to be held indirectly responsible for cruelty to animals. Actually, I wouldn't mind taking on Roland; I'd love to beat him, we are not too dissimilar with our high breaks.
