Nothing else for it, DC; you'all have to YouTube it mate. I have it on good authority (Dennis Taylor) that the '85 final is worth a watch...

Or they could get there in time for the start of the tournament and cover the bucking thing properly...

£0.00
The 64 players eliminated will all have incurred expenditure!
Absolutely gut-wrenching for a player like Igor Figueiredo who pushed Ding to 6-5. Earnings = £0.00
He would get the same for a 6-0 loss without potting a ball. Or by not entering!
Furthermore, he played in the Northern Ireland Open the week before, earning nothing, so he's well out-of-pocket after coming across for those tournaments. Hopefully he'll have had a sponsor that would have contributed to his costs of flights to the UK and back to Brazil, plus his hotel accommodation and food.
