But how about Jimmy then?

There's the Walnut though, he's reached the final three times so he might very well get to another one and win.

This tournament isnt on the the Main Tour its a independent event but with 2 weeks without Main Tour action it gives players playing opportunity and as it stands Ali Carter first action of the season.

Nice to see Carter back and playing well :)
If it weren't for snooker island, I wouldn't know any of the scores in this tournament. Then again, if it wasn't because of snooker island I'd be searching for those results elsewhere, lol.

Final 2 matches today Liang Wenbo beat Marco Fu 4-3 and Joe Perry beat Ricky Walden 4-0.
that means that the only guy guaranteed in the Semi Finals is Shaun Murphy with 2 wins out of 2.
with no wins so far Marco Fu is hanging by a thread but there is a thread there for him.
as Mignon pointed out there is no action tomorrow the next match is Ricky Walden v Mark Davis at 7am BST on thursday.

First Match of the final day of the Group stage Mark Davis leads Ricky Walden 3-1.
who ever wins in this Group today goes through to the Semi finals its basicly a Knockout in this group with everyone starting the day on 1 point.

Ali Carter beat Liang Wenbo 4-2 from 2-0 down with a top break of 105 to join Mark Davis and Shaun Murphy in the semi finals.
only 1 place up for grabs in the semi finals Joe Perry v Jimmy White is up next.
with the final Match of the day Shaun Murphy v Marco Fu a dead rubber but it could determine who plays who in the semi finals

That was a great comeback from Ali Carter.
It would be interesting if Jimmy White reached the semi-finals too.
