Sunday 29th of October ~ Sunday 5th of November at the Baihu Media Broadcasting Centre, Daqing, China

Monday belonged to Yan Bingtao for a World Class performace in shutting out Ronnie O'Sullivan which is no mean feat.

BUT the Tournament moves on to day 3 with only 9 of the top 16 still standing after Barry Hawkins, Ding Junhui and also Anthony McGill who has reached 5 Quarter Final or better in the 6 Ranking event hes played in this season has bit the dust.

Who will make it through to the last 16?

DRAW

ORDER OF PLAY

life moves on after death of a loved one same when a loved one loses the King is dead long live the king.


Snooker is lucky to have had Ronnie as part of the cast however his legacy will mean rubbish if after hes retired the sport dies.


players like Alex Higgins in the past gave snooker life and others will keep it breathing otherwise whats the Point.

Gouldy but the better player after the MSI.

after being 0-4 down he won 5 frames on the trot before Wilson made the maxi to make it 5-5.

First chance to Gouldy in the decider.


:shock:

All happening in Daqing.

Be funny if Selt didn't make it.


Unless he gets drawn against Selby in a Selby vs Selty match.

TWITTER ATTACK!

For anybody keeping stats, the Kyron Wilson 147 was refereed by Shen Yifei (female) in only her 2nd pro event of her career #nice #


Good of him to confirm her gender.

Same old China.


Twitter loves a good moan.


Got a point though.

Having no crowds at a major is embarrassing. Even for a pretend major like the International Championship.

Move it to Germany. They'd turn up.

it's a PR disaster. As discussed on the other thread with Cloudy thue should be filling the arena with comped tickets as part of the marketing spend.. Look at our great sport! er... no one shows up. 'Yes but there are millions watching all over China and the world. 'Yes, they are looking at empty seats.'
