Monday 20th ~ Sunday 26th of November at The Waterfront Hall, BelfastRonnie O'Sullivan is going to Belfast on a bit of a roll having won 2 Ranking events this season already and the only man who can claim the home nations million.
With World Champion Mark Selby and World Open winner Ding Junhui sitting this out and Luca Brecel at the last minute pulling out some of Ronnies biggest threats not there so can he take advantage of that.
But John Higgins and Judd Trump will be out for revenge after the Thumping Ronnie give them in Shanghai
Who will keep on track for the Alex Higgins Trophy?

Whenever I visit Belfast, it's hard to believe I haven't left the island of Ireland, even though the Irish make up a big chunk of its population. Very different feeling when you're in Derry; you always feel like you're in Ireland even though the city's Unionist population is more than sizeable.
Weird part of the world is Northern Ireland.

I think O'Sullivan might lose early here and we'll have another surprising winner

well I did say that about SHanghai didn't I... it was China, short period between CoC, jetlag and all that... and then he pplayed some of the best SNooker I've seen him play the Far East.
But here I do think losing early is a blessing in disguise... I reckon he might get through the first couple of rounds but lose in the last 32 or last 16...

Looks like it. Look at his draw. Until the SF if he's to play Higgins/Ronnie (which I doubt) it's something he can just blitz his way through. He gets Mark Williams in Last 16 but Judd's record against Mark is absolutely one sided.
The only blip I see is the SF.

Trump might not exactly be firing on all cylinders after that drubbing in Shanghai.
Also... BO7s.
