Coral Players Championship Last 16!!!!!

2-0 Murph. A few errors but less than Gilbert.

4th frame, Thep leaves a red over the pocket straight away, Allen pots it but misses black off spot when trying to split pack. Thep in

Nice split from Thep but he misses an easy red to middle. Break ends at 40

Gilbert playing some low quality safety today.

Allen pots a few great balls in this break but eventually misses black when trying to cannon the last red on cushion. 43-40 to Allen. He doesn’t leave a chance though

Come on Thep

Not looking good for Gilbert. He’s stuck in his seat watching Murph dish for 3-0 as a result of a really bad safety.

Who is playing on table one tonight?

I Like players who play proper snooker and this kid at 20 has better shot selection than players older than him.


Remember he just Turned 20 so if he continues to grow hes the only player with a chance of becoming the Youngest World Champion.

Disagreed.

Ok who do you think has a chance of being the youngest World Champion then?

I was being tongue in cheek. I do agree with you though that out of the current players Yan has the best chance, but only a slim one IMO.

I don't see Hendry's record being broken for a very long time.

Yan Bingtao has until 2021 to beat Hendry's record, but yes it is extremely unlikely anyone will. It's much more difficult for young players now, especially Chinese lads who have to deal with a lot of things. There may be chances for players like Chang Bingyu, Gao Yang or Jiang Jun, who are even younger and might have an easier route in a few years' time when some of the current top players might be ageing. Of the British players Jackson Page is steadily improving, and of course there is Iulian Boiko and Ben Mertens from Europe.

Gilbert wins a frame.

Did Matthew Stevens not get high enough on the one year list?

Allen win the 5th frame in one visit with a fantastic century

Total clearance of 132 as Allen now leads 3-2

Shocking.

Thep misses a tough red down the rail but doesn’t leave a pot. Allen misses a tough red to middle but leaves a red over the pocket

Thep is in, pots a great pink but misses the next easier red. Leaves Allen in

44 and counting for Allen and table looks good for one visit

I don’t see a way back for Gilbert. He’s got to really up his game, or hope Murphy suddenly starts missing. Neither scenario seems likely.

Allen is taking this frame as well. He looks in good form and makes big breaks every time he is in. Thep makes too many mistakes

Another century for Allen. 4-2

of course not what a silly question

Thep pots a great opening red but only makes 3 points. Luckily he doesn’t leave a chance

Allen finally misses an easy pot. How many can Thep make off this great chance?
