That's what this tournament all about at the end of the day. Shouldn't be a ranking event, but watching different faces that most people don't know can only be a good thing, and Leclerck is Belgian's next star.

That is Jack Haig - a fine actor.

Congratulations to Chris Wakelin. If nothing else, this tournament almost guarantees the most unexpected winners.

also helps financially too. He had like 10k this year which is not enough so 50k in the bank for a few frames of snooker. Sign me up!!
I know its considered a cheap way of getting a ranking title but it is a ranking title whether we like it or not. I am sure this means more to Wakelin then it would if Williams or Murphy had won it.
Also good to see Holty back. Should never have dropped off and wouldn't have if the cheaters had been exposed earlier.
