I know ITV don't have choice of table, but can anyone remember if the other table is available on betting websites?

I don't think people are taking into account how stubborn/greedy Hearn is.
Football, tennis, rugby, Formula One and cricket have all had fixtures cancelled or postponed, but Hearn is dithering and posting crap on Twitter about what a hard-nut he is. If it's up to him, snooker would go ahead as normal. The real question is, will it be up to him? The government are hardly taking speedy measures.
I would be amazed if the Tour Championship doesn't go ahead. Without fans, maybe. But even that Hearn would only do reluctantly.

I quite enjoyed Trump playing exhibition shots last night. There is audience, millions watching on TV. And he knows it.

The Tour Championship will be played Behind Closed doors but they cant play the WC just too many players involved after what Johnson and co said in the Press Conference

On the face of it, yes. However there is a worst-case scenario lurking.
A ref contracts the virus today. As it has a long incubation period, ref does a few matches feeling fine. At this point, two players, a commentator he had a pint with (btw I wouldn’t even wish it on Yates), and two WST officials contract the virus. Tournament goes without a hitch. On the way home on the Monday morning the ref gets a fever.
You know the rest.

World Champs needs to be postponed, plain and simple, if there arent going to be any spectators allowed.
Even the Augusta Masters in Golf got postponed, and that event is even running for much longer than The Crucible.
World Champs should never go ahead in these conditions.
