Wowzers, Thep was bombing Angles with some big breaks at the end of their match.
Although in fairness, there was a good bit of heavy scoring in almost all of those L16 matches. Interesting lineup for the QFs.
EDIT: Whoops, forgot to make a call. I'd like Gilbert to win the whole thing, think he's a very underrated player. Wouldn't complain if Ants or Thep won though.

I'd prefer the McGill match televised, but that was a forelorn hope?

This is the third time I've seen Higgins this week. Only other match I saw was Tramp losing.

Ali Carter looks in top form.
Then again, so did Mark Williams for the first two frames.

One of my favourite memories from last season was Ali Carter winning the Paul Hunter Classic.

John Higgins is nowhere near the player he used to be if someone plays well he loses BUT his back up game is so good that he can still compete and take advantage when players are found wanting.

Yea but that is down to Money Ranking and winning a tournament that had £125,000 top prize.
For me rankings is about consistency not winning certain tournaments Bingham is ranked no 2 based on a tournament 16 months ago.

Excellent analysis by Joe Johnson. Pointing out that after potting the red, Carter played to get on a colour.

The other day, I was round my parents and they had people round for dinner. One was banging on about her various trips abroad and asked me what did for my holidays.
I was like, "I tend to take my holidays at home.". She was like "Ahh cool. Do you get through a few box sets?'
I was like, "Erm. Nah, I tend to watch snooker."
I think she thought I was the saddest person alive.

Carter was on the brink of elimination yesterday, trailing 2-4 to Daniel Wells....sometimes those players become really dangerous with a 'nothing to lose' attitude.
He's now 4-0 ahead against Higgins.

Indeed. How many times have we seen a player one frame from being out win a whole tournament?
