:00:38. > :00:43.Hello again from Alexandra Palace. You know, everyone in snooker is
:00:43. > :00:47.desperate to see has Judd Trump, the new centre star of the sport,
:00:47. > :00:55.can follow up his triumph at the UK Championship in Yorke at the tail
:00:55. > :01:02.end of last year. He is, of course, still on for a potential triple
:01:02. > :01:06.crown. That's the UK Championship,. Masters and the world title in the
:01:06. > :01:12.same season. It hasn't been done since Mark Williams in 2003. Well,
:01:12. > :01:15.his first hurdle is a first-round match against Stuart Bingham, a man
:01:15. > :01:22.who enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2011, winning the Australian Open.
:01:22. > :01:32.It was his first world ranking title. Well, let's enjoy this best-
:01:32. > :01:32.
:01:32. > :02:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:02:45. > :02:51.title. Well, let's enjoy this best- can just get past the blue to this
:02:51. > :02:54.corner, but it's a tough pot. If he can find the middle of the ball
:02:54. > :02:59.cushion here, it would be a good safety.
:02:59. > :03:09.APPLAUSE Slotted it in lovely. And just the
:03:09. > :03:09.
:03:09. > :03:19.touch of a bounce. Perfect on the was available, but it obviously was,
:03:19. > :03:21.
:03:21. > :03:25.and he couldn't have played it plenty of room around the black
:03:25. > :03:30.spot area, so you would think first opportunity, pot the red, get the
:03:30. > :03:40.black on its spot. And then you can really think about winning the
:03:40. > :04:07.
:04:07. > :04:17.black is available into the left corner. It's certainly available
:04:17. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :05:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:05:00. > :05:05.into the right corner. It would be excellent chance now to show. He
:05:05. > :05:15.just found one red. More or less a shot for notot for notthat shot
:05:15. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:32.blue. Played that nicely. Very important to make sure you go past
:05:32. > :05:42.the blue. Amazing how many times players come up short with that
:05:42. > :05:58.
:05:59. > :06:06.above the black in the left corner, right-hand cushion. Will have to go
:06:06. > :06:11.back up to the blue again and try and get on the black. Now he could
:06:11. > :06:15.play for the black. That was a nice shot. Yeah, it was an excellent
:06:15. > :06:25.shot. I, like you, thought he didn't have the angle. But he
:06:25. > :06:30.
:06:31. > :06:36.with that, if he had hit another red full in the face, he may not
:06:36. > :06:41.have been on the black. Shows how full of confidence he's. That shot
:06:41. > :06:47.could have easily gone wrong. Your first frame on the table, you don't
:06:47. > :06:52.know how the lie is playing. If he cannoned the red above those two,
:06:53. > :06:59.it would have been break over. That's a fair point, isn't it, when
:06:59. > :07:04.you're full of confidence. You don't think about things going
:07:04. > :07:10.wrong. It's just when you're struggle sometimes and you see
:07:10. > :07:15.obstacles that aren't there. But this is excellent stuff now.
:07:15. > :07:25.And now he's played that cannon. It would be a surprise if he didn't
:07:25. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:49.him 65 points in front. So a red in you remove a red, that red, that
:07:49. > :07:59.another eight points have gone. This blue, to be 71 points in front,
:07:59. > :08:05.
:08:05. > :08:15.with just 67 remaining. it was a good pot from Judd. And
:08:15. > :08:24.
:08:24. > :08:31.pink, seven blacks. APPLAUSE
:08:31. > :08:36.If he gets this cannon right, the possibility... The possibility of
:08:36. > :08:46.the century. He couldn't get the cannon, so he's trying to go in and
:08:46. > :08:54.
:08:54. > :09:04.An excellent start there for Judd Trump. As we say, Stuart Bingham
:09:04. > :09:04.
:09:04. > :10:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:10:45. > :10:49.not sure whether the pink, or how available it will be, when it's put
:10:49. > :10:59.on its spot. If he decides to back up for the blue...
:10:59. > :11:01.
:11:01. > :11:05.REFEREE: 13. Just about got there. little bit further -- he would
:11:05. > :11:10.always prefer to be a little bit further away from the cushion than
:11:10. > :11:14.this. About six inches away, no problems to play a little gentle
:11:14. > :11:19.screw. But he's OK, didn't have to do a lot with the cue ball. Got a
:11:19. > :11:29.red to the right corner, but he's got a bit to do with the cue ball
:11:29. > :11:52.
:11:52. > :11:57.that one. I think he was looking a little bit too far ahead there. You
:11:57. > :12:01.know, he didn't want to keep playing for the blue, but sometimes
:12:01. > :12:08.the ball puts you into a certain type of game. And it's always gonna
:12:08. > :12:17.be difficult to win the frame. Oh. APPLAUSE
:12:17. > :12:21.missed that. I think any more pace, it wouldn't have gone in.
:12:21. > :12:25.Interesting to see where this pink goes and how available it is,
:12:25. > :12:35.because I felt Judd could have played for the pink a while ago.
:12:35. > :13:06.
:13:06. > :13:10.I am surprised Judd didn't play for I think he played for the red,
:13:10. > :13:14.below the pink spot. But he's put a pink into the right-hand side of
:13:14. > :13:19.the pocket, as we look at it. Pushed the white further over, so
:13:19. > :13:29.he will have to play this red for the green pocket.
:13:29. > :13:39.APPLAUSE You're not striking the ball as you
:13:39. > :13:50.
:13:50. > :13:55.The pace of the table has helped him out there, by the looks of it,
:13:55. > :14:02.bouncing. But he's finished absolutely inch-perfect.
:14:02. > :14:06.REFEREE: 18. This will settle Stuart down now, if he can get
:14:06. > :14:16.enough points. He's got the pink available into both corners. A good
:14:16. > :14:26.
:14:26. > :14:31.the match, what you want to do is play two or three nice positional
:14:31. > :14:34.shots. Even when you're potting balls cleanly, it doesn't give you
:14:34. > :14:44.confidence. But when you pot the shots and you get the result you
:14:44. > :14:44.
:14:44. > :15:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:15:42. > :15:48.expect, it helps to relax you a lot ideal if he can get the angle and
:15:48. > :15:58.cannon on to the two reds. Still be on the red next to the black then.
:15:58. > :16:03.
:16:03. > :16:13.He would want to be high on the the black to go to the blue spot.
:16:13. > :16:14.
:16:14. > :16:19.Yeah, it's make-your-mind-up-time, really, isn't it?
:16:19. > :16:26.He was always gonna leave himself now a tricky black. If it goes in,
:16:26. > :16:33.fine. But this is tricky. Well, well played.
:16:33. > :16:43.APPLAUSE Well played. So now the frame...
:16:43. > :16:43.
:16:43. > :17:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:17:37. > :17:44.APPLAUSE Still got the chance of a century
:17:44. > :17:49.here. Well, not now, but it won't matter.
:17:49. > :17:53.Got his first frame on the scoreboard.
:17:53. > :18:03.Judd's coming back to the table. I don't think with any great hope of
:18:03. > :18:07.
:18:07. > :18:14.winning the frame, just getting a managed to get a free ball, would
:18:14. > :18:19.do it. Yeah, I think there's a lot of reasons we play on. Obviously
:18:19. > :18:24.Stuart's gonna win this frame. Just show your opponent, "I'm not gonna
:18:24. > :18:34.give you the frame. I'm not gonna sit there and let you have the
:18:34. > :18:34.
:18:34. > :20:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:20:03. > :20:13.frame." So Stuart Bingham would be feeling
:20:13. > :20:23.
:20:23. > :20:30.an awful lot better, to get his tate on Ronnie O'Sullivan's first-
:20:30. > :20:37.round match yesterday, a packed audience. And it's a tremendous
:20:37. > :20:40.atmosphere in Alexandra Palace. What a match that would be - Judd
:20:40. > :20:46.versus Ronnie. If Judd were to win this match, that will be the next
:20:47. > :20:56.test. But Stuart Bingham might have a bit
:20:57. > :21:06.
:21:06. > :21:12.to say about that. than that by Stuart, if you're
:21:12. > :21:18.gonna beat Trump. The last thing you want to give him is easy
:21:18. > :21:20.openers. Try and get an angle into the blue. If he gets the right
:21:20. > :21:30.angle, it will be straight into this pack.
:21:30. > :22:00.
:22:00. > :22:05.main thruster, obviously going in the left corner, doesn't want to
:22:05. > :22:09.come too straight on this black, though. Well, he has. That's
:22:09. > :22:15.careless. Any sort of angle, easy on the red, can he force it around
:22:15. > :22:25.after two cushions? He tried.
:22:25. > :22:25.
:22:25. > :23:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:23:31. > :23:41.he's OK. REFEREE: 33. Just about to sneak
:23:41. > :23:46.
:23:46. > :23:51.this one into the right corner. the cannon if he didn't have to,
:23:51. > :23:57.because of these three reds nicely in the open. But can he go for one
:23:57. > :24:02.of those reds, or will he have to play the cannon into the pink? He
:24:02. > :24:12.played the cannon into the pink, didn't catch the pink full into the
:24:12. > :24:20.
:24:20. > :24:30.face. What's he have left? Nothing rather than a full ball.
:24:30. > :24:42.
:24:42. > :24:51.he intended. So needs another good pot here. I will be honest with you,
:24:51. > :25:01.I'm not certain there is a red that goes. One to the left medal.
:25:01. > :25:11.
:25:11. > :25:19.-- one to the left middle. Could be Can't quite see if they are in line
:25:19. > :25:26.with the middle. They are not far off. But he's
:25:26. > :25:32.gonna get the other red on to them lps...$$NEWLINE -- on to them...
:25:32. > :25:42.Wouldn't be one I would risk, but he does say he likes to play
:25:42. > :25:46.
:25:46. > :25:51.naughty snooker. Is he gonna get don't think he can get past the
:25:51. > :25:58.black to hit the red full enough to put it on to the two reds. I'm not
:25:58. > :26:02.sure he can. I think he's desperate to play it. I know. I mean, it's
:26:02. > :26:11.that balance, isn't it? In defence and attack, that's always been the
:26:11. > :26:16.thing about snooker. He's got a 45- point lead. I think safety's the
:26:16. > :26:26.order of the day. REFEREE: Judd Trump, 45. That was
:26:26. > :26:26.
:26:26. > :27:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:27:15. > :27:25.second good chance he's had now, Judd, and, well, it's frames like
:27:25. > :27:33.
:27:33. > :27:37.this which are real boosts, if you this frame he's sat in his chair
:27:37. > :27:47.thinking, "Well, this frame's gone." Can he make the most of this
:27:47. > :28:01.
:28:01. > :28:06.LAUGHTER Eight. Down there, putting the
:28:06. > :28:11.black on the pink spot, which was a bit of a shock to the system,
:28:11. > :28:14.because obviously this red wouldn't have gone.
:28:14. > :28:24.Nine. Well, I tell you what, nothing's going in particularly
:28:24. > :28:42.
:28:42. > :28:50.bring the awing the awinto play. It's turned out to be a bit more of
:28:50. > :28:56.a risk, because he's not perfect on this red. Now, is it...? Oh! Well,
:28:56. > :29:04.even Stuart was watching that on his feet. It must be a magnet.
:29:04. > :29:14.Pockets are like buckets! Well, he was on his... Stuart was
:29:14. > :29:52.
:29:52. > :29:56.A tremendous opportunity in the just had a feeling about it, didn't
:29:56. > :30:00.you? There was one or two pots that didn't look in, overrunning
:30:00. > :30:08.position. He was just beginning to feel the heat there, I felt. It
:30:08. > :30:12.caught up with him in the end. APPLAUSE
:30:12. > :30:22.If this pink doesn't pass the blue, he's been a little unlucky there,
:30:22. > :30:27.
:30:27. > :30:32.A good pot on the yellow, but overhit it somewhat.
:30:32. > :30:42.REFEREE: Three. For a 25-point lead, so he still needs the two remaining
:30:42. > :31:17.
:31:17. > :31:24.reds to clinch the frame at this Nicely on the black.
:31:24. > :31:29.This is it now. It could be the key to the frame if he can drop this in.
:31:29. > :31:39.Doesn't have to do a lot with the cue ball. Bound to be on the black,
:31:39. > :31:58.
:31:58. > :32:08.or even the blue. behind. Up to and including the
:32:08. > :32:29.
:32:29. > :32:39.him out here is if he overhits this. It's all about pace to get good
:32:39. > :32:48.
:32:48. > :32:55.overdone it. That was the only thing that could
:32:55. > :32:57.have gone wrong. Yeah, naturally to play that with a touch on the left-
:32:57. > :33:07.hand side, it's just the cue ball sped up.
:33:07. > :33:07.
:33:07. > :33:13.APPLAUSE The points are level. Judd in a lot
:33:13. > :33:23.of trouble. He missed his opportunity there, Stuart.
:33:23. > :33:35.
:33:36. > :33:45.Decided to try and net one to the blue. Very difficult shot to play.
:33:46. > :33:49.
:33:49. > :33:53.The far left corner. Blue and pink So he does get a better chance.
:33:53. > :33:58.It's pink for the frame. APPLAUSE
:33:58. > :34:02.In it goes. That's the frame that could have gone either way, but in
:34:02. > :34:12.the end it went to Stuart Bingham. He lost the first frame, he's won
:34:12. > :34:46.
:34:46. > :34:50.REFEREE: Judd Trump, one. Good opening leg there for Judd, but
:34:50. > :34:54.unfortunately couldn't get the cue ball to stop this side of the line,
:34:54. > :34:58.so just settling for the snooker. Normally, you would suggest that
:34:58. > :35:03.you just come off the side, but you would have to come down the left-
:35:03. > :35:13.hand of the table. And I think he may have just covered that. So it's
:35:13. > :35:16.
:35:17. > :35:26.purposely. Now you're gonna go twice across, but you can always
:35:27. > :35:39.
:35:39. > :35:46.misjudge this. the yellow, he purposely covered
:35:46. > :35:53.the escape down the left-hand side of the table, as we look. This is
:35:53. > :35:58.twice across... And he didn't want to catch the pink ball, because he
:35:58. > :36:05.would leave a red to the right middle. Let's see how he does this
:36:05. > :36:15.time. Mmm. Caught the wrong red. Clever snooker that, from Judd
:36:15. > :36:31.
:36:31. > :36:39.Trump. As we say, he's learning all opportunity. Doesn't normally go
:36:39. > :36:41.into the pink and open the reds up. What you're looking for when you do
:36:41. > :36:47.that is an easy pot to continue with.
:36:47. > :36:52.REFEREE: Six. Couldn't have played this better.
:36:52. > :36:55.The skill on that shot, where he was able to hold the white in the
:36:55. > :37:04.middle of the table, just gave him an even greater chance of a nice,
:37:04. > :37:09.easy red to play for. Well rgs the midsession inter--
:37:09. > :37:19.well, there will be a midsession interval after this frame. Judd, a
:37:19. > :37:42.
:37:42. > :37:50.there in terms of the way he's striking the ball. And I think he
:37:50. > :37:56.would be disappointed... Yeah, absolutely. He's played... Well,
:37:56. > :38:03.he's had a lovely, measured approach. And that blue he missed
:38:03. > :38:11.in the second frame, I think, was the one that, if you like, kick-
:38:11. > :38:21.started Stuart Bingham's match. He looks to be cuing lovecuing loveudd.
:38:21. > :38:25.
:38:25. > :38:30.And I agree with you. He would be disappointed. But certainly would
:38:30. > :38:34.be just concentrating on winning this frame and going all square at
:38:35. > :38:44.the midsession interval. REFEREE: 36.
:38:45. > :38:45.
:38:45. > :39:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:39:49. > :39:55.believe his opponent needed a snooker. You see it - 67 ahead. 75
:39:55. > :40:05.remaining. Pot this red, 68 ahead. Only 67 left.
:40:05. > :40:35.
:40:35. > :40:41.Trump. Below 90% for Stuart Bingham. behind the colours and don't think
:40:42. > :40:49.about where the easy get-outs are. The right side or the left side of
:40:49. > :40:52.the table for Stuart, gets the result. Yeah, absolutely. Just a
:40:52. > :41:02.little thing like that made all the difference, made it a difficult
:41:02. > :41:33.
:41:33. > :41:39.cushion, nearly snuck it in. He REFEREE: 86. Now, can he pot this
:41:39. > :41:49.red? Miss the pink and just bring the red near the cushion now? He
:41:49. > :42:07.
:42:07. > :42:17.didn't feel as though he could, so APPLAUSE
:42:17. > :42:30.
:42:30. > :42:40.you, Stephen, but the crowd do love a century, don't they?
:42:40. > :42:58.
:42:58. > :43:04.REFEREE: 100. call a few banana shots in Judd.
:43:04. > :43:09.Well, the banana cleared off pretty quick. But never mind. Well, I
:43:09. > :43:19.think Stuart Bingham may be the most pleased of the two players as
:43:19. > :43:32.
:43:32. > :43:36.they go to the mid-session interval. if he wasn't hampered by the yellow,
:43:36. > :43:44.I think he would have taken it on. But it's a tough shot, hampered.
:43:44. > :43:50.But he can't see an alternative. Oh, that was unlucky.
:43:50. > :43:56.REFEREE: Judd Trump, four. It's a good effort. As I say, hampered as
:43:56. > :44:06.he was bit yellow. Full length of the table. Just got this second
:44:06. > :44:14.
:44:14. > :44:22.kiss off the red to extend the the red right in the middle of the
:44:22. > :44:27.pocket, hitting that absolutely as sweet as you could hit a ball.
:44:27. > :44:37.we talk about cue power. That isn't cue power, that's just timing. As
:44:37. > :44:43.
:44:43. > :44:46.you say, Stephen, he hits it sweet. There's the pot success.
:44:46. > :44:55.Stuart needs to develop that percentage, otherwise this match is
:44:55. > :45:05.gonna slip away. REFEREE: Four.
:45:05. > :45:35.
:45:35. > :45:39.Just missed one or two that he himself. Just go back about a
:45:39. > :45:49.couple of feet, right at the bottom of the pack, move into the left
:45:49. > :46:03.
:46:03. > :46:09.disturbed on the red here -- a little bit disturbed on the red
:46:10. > :46:19.here. Never guaranteed to finish on a colour.
:46:20. > :46:51.
:46:51. > :47:00.Really push through for the black. 25. Nice angle on the black. Trying
:47:00. > :47:10.to hit the red half ball here. Just hit it a bit quarter, that's why it
:47:10. > :47:13.
:47:13. > :47:17.caught the back and the white's on the white, the white pushed out

:47:43. > :47:53.APPLAUSE PLAUSE A bit surprising that he didn't
:47:53. > :47:59.
:47:59. > :48:06.on a backspin and you play it at that pace, it just takes time for
:48:06. > :48:16.the spin to grip on the ball. And he's probably better off stunning
:48:16. > :48:20.
:48:20. > :48:25.heart would have been in his mouteds for a moment there, Stuart.
:48:25. > :48:35.Looks as though he would leave this red on to the right middle there,
:48:35. > :49:11.
:49:12. > :49:21.He didn't want to play off the side of the pack, he didn't want to open
:49:22. > :49:23.
:49:23. > :49:33.reds up, play a more defensive reds. There's a bit of a gap
:49:33. > :49:38.
:49:38. > :49:41.between the two of them. But he Sop it wasn't straightforward. And
:49:41. > :49:51.he's -- so it wasn't straightforward. And he's gifted an

:49:51. > :51:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:51:13. > :51:19.22. Well, he's always looked in control in this match, but the
:51:19. > :51:23.score line doesn't tell you that. Two each, and he could possibly
:51:23. > :51:30.drop behind the game here. It's an excellent opportunity for Stuart
:51:30. > :51:34.Bingham. 23. As we always say, no matter how
:51:34. > :51:41.good you are, when you're sat in your seat, you're not gonna
:51:41. > :51:46.bepolitaning many balls. -- you're not gonna be potting many
:51:46. > :51:51.balls. That's one of the reasons why I believe snooker's one of the
:51:51. > :51:56.toughest sports. No matter how well prepared, how well you're playing.
:51:56. > :52:06.As we have said, Judd looks comfortable in the way he's
:52:06. > :52:08.
:52:08. > :52:13.Stuart. Striking, potting the balls in the
:52:13. > :52:17.middle of the pockets. His positional play has been inch-
:52:17. > :52:25.perfect, slightly awkward, but shouldn't be a perfect.
:52:25. > :52:31.-- but shouldn't abproblem. -- but shouldn't be a problem.
:52:31. > :52:37.now with a two-point lead. When you would think off the red just above
:52:37. > :52:42.the black, he would possibly play for a blue ball colour. And as I
:52:42. > :52:52.say that, it's easier to get those two reds on the other half of the
:52:52. > :52:52.
:52:52. > :54:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:54:17. > :54:23.table and he's finished perfect on APPLAUSE
:54:23. > :54:28.Well, the applause tells you that snooker's now required. I don't
:54:28. > :54:38.think Judd Trump will be heading back to the table here. 64. And,
:54:38. > :54:39.
:54:39. > :54:49.well, as we say, he looks the better cueist, but not showing up
:54:49. > :54:52.
:54:52. > :54:59.in the score line. Stuart Bingham, this visit. He's
:54:59. > :55:04.taken these really well. APPLAUSE
:55:04. > :55:14.He goes in Trump once again. A slight problem here. Falls 3-2
:55:14. > :55:14.
:55:14. > :56:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:56:35. > :56:40.Well, let's see if he stacks live. Balls potted - Judd Trump, 90.
:56:40. > :56:50.Stuart Bingham, 66. Total points - 309, Judd Trump. 233, Stuart
:56:50. > :56:57.
:56:57. > :57:05.Stuart Bingham. And safety success - 81%, Judd
:57:05. > :57:15.Trump. 76%, Stuart Bingham. And just to top it off - table time
:57:15. > :57:15.
:57:15. > :57:22.- 54% of it, Judd Trump. Why is Stuart Bingham 3-2 in front, is the
:57:22. > :57:32.question. And 71%, excellent, 44%, Stuart Bingham. It's a funny old
:57:32. > :57:41.
:57:42. > :57:46.would say, "Well, Trump must be about 4-1 up." Yeah, that's all it
:57:46. > :57:49.takes sometimes. Well, he's found it there. That one did go in. It's
:57:49. > :57:53.OK. All right, he would be disappointed the blue's been
:57:53. > :58:03.knocked off its spot, but he's on a colour.
:58:03. > :58:12.
:58:12. > :58:21.to go on its spot and be available into the pocket. So may play for
:58:21. > :58:25.the pink sooner rather than later. Judd Trump, pot the yellow, but not
:58:25. > :58:35.cleanly. Slightly out of position. Yeah, I thought the red in the
:58:35. > :58:36.
:58:36. > :58:46.middle of the table would have gone I think he may have played for the
:58:46. > :58:53.
:58:53. > :58:56.black there, but he will settle for Can't afford any more slip-ups now.
:58:56. > :59:00.We give you the stats and there's no reason why he shouldn't be in
:59:00. > :59:06.front in this match. But the fact of the matter is, he's not.
:59:06. > :59:16.So, in a way, that can create its own ghts bit of pressure. Pash --
:59:16. > :59:20.
:59:20. > :59:25.cushion there. Came out in front of him, more than expected. Want to
:59:25. > :59:29.play to the left of the pink, instead of this one. May choose to
:59:29. > :59:39.play the cannon on the red. Actually, he's gonna play the red
:59:39. > :59:49.
:59:50. > :59:56.for the pink, sorry. John, when they sense the danger
:59:56. > :00:02.and can step up a gear, 2-1 down, a century break, 3-2 down, and now
:00:02. > :00:07.making another big break. Yeah. Once again he played for the
:00:07. > :00:17.black there, played a little cannon on the red to hold for the black
:00:17. > :00:23.
:00:23. > :00:28.on the black that he played for. Just was a little bit annoyed. And
:00:29. > :00:33.it caused him to miss the pink. It's funny, when you're not on the
:00:33. > :00:43.ball that you played for, even when you expect to pot the pink, he
:00:43. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:54.should have been on the black, and lose position than to miss a pot.
:00:54. > :00:59.You have to get that out of your mind when you're playing the shot
:00:59. > :01:05.that you didn't think you were going to be playing. And, of course,
:01:05. > :01:11.the speed he plays at, this is what he played. He played a cannon on
:01:12. > :01:15.that red and he just drifted by it. But this is what - he's showing
:01:15. > :01:20.exactly what Judd was trying to play. Because Judd's a very quick
:01:20. > :01:25.player, all of a sudden he's not on the black. "All right, I will play
:01:25. > :01:28.the pink." But the pink jufd needed a little bit of thought.
:01:28. > :01:38.-- but the pink just needed a little bit of thought. And it just
:01:38. > :01:42.
:01:42. > :01:45.the pink then, he was just trying to stun through just a couple of
:01:45. > :01:49.inches to leave himself on the red that Stuart finished up potting. Of
:01:49. > :01:55.course, Stuart missed the cannon and that's why he's on nothing.
:01:55. > :02:01.He's given this plenty of thought. Just a safety, of course. Trying to
:02:01. > :02:06.cover that red that's on the right- hand side of the table.
:02:06. > :02:10.REFEREE: Stuart Bingham, one. he hasn't covered it. But he will
:02:10. > :02:15.be just happy to still be in the frame, Stuart. That's happened a
:02:15. > :02:20.few times in this match, where I am certain he's sat in his seat,
:02:21. > :02:30.thinking, "I have lost this one," and before he knows it, he's still
:02:31. > :02:31.
:02:31. > :03:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:03:21. > :03:29.to the pink in the right corner. And down to safety.
:03:29. > :03:35.APPLAUSE Yeah, tremendous pot.
:03:35. > :03:45.Could that be the shot that sets him up to win this frame, and level
:03:45. > :03:54.
:03:54. > :03:58.REFEREE: Five. I think - I'm not certain if both reds are available,
:03:58. > :04:08.certainly the left-hand one of the two. Well, it looks like both of
:04:08. > :04:38.
:04:39. > :04:48.them will pot, but he wanted to be APPLAUSE
:04:49. > :05:11.
:05:11. > :05:16.It was such a weg-struck shot. the minute. Tried to force that.
:05:17. > :05:26.Quite straight. He wants to go to the black, he's gonna hit this very
:05:27. > :05:41.
:05:42. > :05:46.And he may have played a black, he may not have done. But playing it
:05:46. > :05:51.in such a way that he hasn't - I don't know, does this red get
:05:51. > :05:54.through the gap to the left middle? It does. Is it there?
:05:54. > :06:04.APPLAUSE It is! Well, that's amazing. I
:06:04. > :06:07.
:06:07. > :06:14.thought Stuart had got away with it Thought for all the world as though
:06:14. > :06:18.he had left nothing. And then it was straight pot into the middle
:06:18. > :06:22.pocket. Surely now Judd will make the most of this opportunity and be
:06:22. > :06:32.quite relieved as well, because it just seemed that the balls were
:06:32. > :06:36.
:06:36. > :06:46.just starting to run a little bit Red colour red.
:06:46. > :07:26.
:07:26. > :07:30.58 points, the lead now. Just 51 But possibly, I don't know if this
:07:30. > :07:36.red cuts in or not. He would like to pot it.
:07:36. > :07:46.Judd Trump, 29. Well, a few snookers needed, but it looks like
:07:46. > :07:46.
:07:46. > :09:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:09:36. > :09:46.APPLAUSE And he would be quite relieved, did
:09:46. > :10:14.
:10:14. > :10:19.Trump. He led everything in stats, Well, good opening red. Could have
:10:19. > :10:25.done with a cue ball just bounce another couple of inches, then this
:10:25. > :10:30.black would have been unmissable. Cracking to start with. Just needed
:10:30. > :10:40.another inch or two bounce. As I say, he would probably take the
:10:40. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:00.say, the bounce, if it was inches, it would have been unmissable. That
:11:00. > :11:06.was tricky, though. Didn't seem to play it with a lot of conviction.
:11:06. > :11:10.He put it quite slowly. Yeah, I think it was just one of
:11:10. > :11:15.them, wasn't it? He knew it was running into a red, wasn't certain
:11:15. > :11:25.where it was gonna finish. So, really, he should have made certain
:11:25. > :11:55.
:11:55. > :12:00.of the pot, if he was gonna play it He played that with a shot to
:12:00. > :12:10.nothing. Not leaving anything if he missed it. That's so unlucky not to
:12:10. > :12:14.
:12:14. > :12:19.say, a tremendous pot. Such easy cue in. And look at the reaction he
:12:19. > :12:29.got on the cue ball. All the places in all the world, to finish it
:12:29. > :12:59.
:12:59. > :13:05.advantageous. Obviously it would have been on the black if it had
:13:05. > :13:10.gone in. With the double, and we always say this, if you catch the
:13:10. > :13:15.wrong jaw in the middle and it doesn't go in, you don't know where
:13:15. > :13:25.the red's gonna finish. He did leave a chance, but Stuart couldn't
:13:25. > :13:37.
:13:37. > :13:47.first real chance now to Judd Trump. Stuart's already missed. I mean, it
:13:47. > :14:04.
:14:04. > :14:14.Yeah, I think that would be the seventh game in a row that Judd's
:14:14. > :14:14.
:14:14. > :14:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:14:57. > :15:01.had the first real chance of the type of shot he didn't want to hit
:15:01. > :15:06.too hard, because he could have rolled through the reds and been on
:15:06. > :15:16.nothing. But he's just dislodged enough to make this a possible
:15:16. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:46.perfectly, but it's OK. It's only OK, because he's got a red in the
:15:46. > :15:53.far end of the table. So it will be on the wrong side of
:15:53. > :15:58.the blue. It wasn't that important. It gives you a wake-up call when
:15:58. > :16:07.you always miss one but you get away with it. It sharpens your mind
:16:07. > :16:17.up, brings your concentration back up to 100%. Say to yourself, "I'm
:16:17. > :16:39.
:16:39. > :16:49.slightly overhit. Still on the red. I didn't realise that. So it was
:16:49. > :16:55.
:16:55. > :17:00.perfect, as it turned out. Now, pot this red, get a nice angle
:17:00. > :17:06.on the black, and the frame's at his mercy. 50. A little bit
:17:06. > :17:16.straighter than he wanted. But he may be OK. He can pot the black and
:17:16. > :17:25.
:17:25. > :17:32.points ahead, 67 remaining. Once he pots the red, there will
:17:32. > :17:42.only be 59 remaining, so Stuart faring the worst. Lost the first
:17:42. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:53.frame, has never been behind since. APPLAUSE
:17:53. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :18:32.Could play a cannon on the pink here. Almost a straight line in the
:18:32. > :18:36.middle, but a cannon on the pink would leave either of the two reds
:18:36. > :18:46.to the left corner. Makes the pink. APPLAUSE
:18:46. > :18:54.
:18:54. > :18:58.80. Made 107 break in frame four. Every chance now he can better that.
:18:58. > :19:08.Can be better situated, once he rolls this pink in, they will all
:19:08. > :19:40.
:19:40. > :19:50.APPLAUSE Yeah, well played.
:19:50. > :20:02.
:20:02. > :20:06.now? Oh! There we go. Hello! LAUGHS Well, that was superb. And it's a
:20:06. > :20:11.lot easier now, because that was a little frame that earlier on could
:20:11. > :20:16.have gone wrong for him of the but that was a good response. So he's
:20:16. > :20:20.got his nose in front now at 4-3. Well, we all know that the one big
:20:20. > :20:24.problem with any shot on the snooker circuit, particularly a pot,
:20:24. > :20:28.is the harder you hit it, the more accurate you need to be. And if you
:20:28. > :20:38.can get the cue ball to move that much without having to hit it that
:20:38. > :20:46.
:20:46. > :20:51.little bit harder, what a you would get a double kiss and
:20:51. > :20:55.leave it on. But it's still left Stuart with a chance, this pot.
:20:55. > :20:59.Well, you just feel Stuart's got to raise his game if he's gonna get
:20:59. > :21:02.anything out of this match. He's still well in it, but he's not
:21:02. > :21:12.played his best so far. APPLAUSE
:21:12. > :21:25.
:21:25. > :21:29.APPLAUSE Like Judd's shot earlier on in the
:21:29. > :21:39.match, he's covered the easy way to get to the right-hand side of the
:21:39. > :21:40.
:21:40. > :21:46.pack, the two cushions. Shouldn't cue ball, when you play it slow, it
:21:46. > :21:51.slides off the cushion, doesn't come off a natural angle. Sometimes
:21:51. > :21:59.just have a... Yeah, I think he thought that that was gonna slide a
:21:59. > :22:03.bit more. Never gets really close to the blue
:22:03. > :22:13.when you play the shot, so that's what puts you off a little bit when
:22:13. > :22:22.
:22:22. > :22:30.in the average tables, is it, John? It only happens with brand-new
:22:30. > :22:40.cloths, you get the slide. Yeah, he found the line then. But didn't
:22:40. > :22:51.
:22:51. > :23:01.have the pace. I don't blame Stuart for putting it back, because...
:23:01. > :23:03.
:23:03. > :23:10.This is a better line. Is it? Is it? No! Stuart Bingham, six.
:23:10. > :23:13.Amazing how many points can be given away now with just one what
:23:13. > :23:23.looked comparatively easy snooker. Up can't blame the referee for
:23:23. > :23:24.
:23:24. > :24:39.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:24:39. > :24:44.calling miss here, because there's right-hand side of the table, if he
:24:44. > :24:47.wants to play safe, but I think he's got an eye for the pot here.
:24:47. > :24:51.APPLAUSE And he smacked it right in the
:24:51. > :24:58.middle. That leaves a good hit on the blue.
:24:58. > :25:02.It's not bad. It's a terrific opening red.
:25:02. > :25:07.Found the gap. As I say, just needed probably a better kiss on
:25:07. > :25:17.the blue, but he can cut it into the left middle.
:25:17. > :25:36.
:25:36. > :25:39.better result than that. That was Well, a scratch of the head as he
:25:39. > :25:49.held the cue ball too much and not on the black.
:25:49. > :25:52.
:25:52. > :26:00.the red. Apd you thought, "Well, what a chance -- and you thought,
:26:00. > :26:10."Well, what a chance this is." And he's carelessly run out of position.
:26:10. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:26.Judd Trump, seven. He will be going He's played a good safety. Not a
:26:26. > :26:33.bad shot. Don't let that bad shot get to him too much.
:26:33. > :26:40.APPLAUSE Played that OK, but he's left
:26:40. > :26:43.another red for Judd here. I think he will follow through for two
:26:43. > :26:53.cushions for a choice of pink and blue.
:26:53. > :27:14.
:27:14. > :27:21.blue, he couldn't get close to this next intended red. So he's fancying
:27:21. > :27:26.to knock it in, but maybe not a lot to do with the cue ball. Just stun
:27:26. > :27:30.into the red and leaves himself on the pink for the right middle. Not
:27:30. > :27:40.quite certain where the next red comes from, though.
:27:40. > :27:41.
:27:41. > :27:46.APPLAUSE I couldn't tell you how good that
:27:46. > :27:49.shot was. I don't think he could get right to the middle of the cue
:27:49. > :27:54.ball, so he's having to put a little bit of left-hand side on it.
:27:54. > :28:04.And to play at that pace and be to accurate, that was one heck of a
:28:04. > :28:23.
:28:23. > :28:27.It just shows how straight he cues pushed the cue through so straight.
:28:27. > :28:37.Playing at that pace, as I say, I don't think he could quite get to
:28:37. > :28:43.
:28:43. > :28:53.so he's obviously not perfect with his positional play here.
:28:53. > :28:58.
:28:58. > :29:04.Playing it right-handed. That was a nice little cannon.
:29:04. > :29:14.Well, now the players, 15 seconds a shot, Judd Trump. 17 seconds,
:29:14. > :29:34.
:29:34. > :29:39.Stuart Bingham. frame time with shots like that,
:29:39. > :29:42.just over 12 minutes, which was quick. This one may take a little
:29:42. > :29:52.longer now, though. He's made a mistake there, has Judd. He's on
:29:52. > :30:10.
:30:10. > :30:16.APPLAUSE Two good chances now in this frame,
:30:16. > :30:26.has Judd. And just missed out on the traditional side. Just cost him
:30:26. > :30:30.
:30:30. > :30:40.if you've had two good chances and not clinched it, are you gonna get
:30:40. > :30:46.
:30:46. > :30:56.cushion. Safe there, but now he's forced to play it, which he didn't
:30:56. > :31:13.
:31:13. > :31:18.pink and the left shot and up into the right corner pocket.
:31:18. > :31:28.Have to be careful with his white ball if he miss this is pot. He
:31:28. > :31:35.
:31:35. > :31:45.wants to play a good safety shot. white ball could go down the table
:31:45. > :32:00.
:32:00. > :32:04.In it goes. He's playing the little tuck-up behind the green. He did a
:32:04. > :32:09.good job of it as well. APPLAUSE
:32:09. > :32:19.So, as I said a few moments ago, Judd Trump had two good
:32:19. > :32:26.
:32:26. > :32:36.opportunities in this frame already. The red is on. And there's also a
:32:36. > :32:59.
:32:59. > :33:03.looked. Couldn't afford to miss it. He can't see any problems with
:33:03. > :33:08.getting rid of all the reds. It's the yellow that's the obvious
:33:08. > :33:18.stumbling block in terms of clearing up here.
:33:18. > :33:36.
:33:36. > :33:41.REFEREE: Seven. Gonna be right back Well, he wants to be straight on
:33:41. > :33:46.this black so he can just roll it in. Can he? Or for the red below
:33:46. > :33:53.it? He could. He was OK. The last thing he wanted was an angle there
:33:53. > :34:03.where he was having to run into that red.
:34:03. > :34:20.
:34:20. > :34:24.23. So this black will put him four as he should have done. Because it
:34:24. > :34:34.was important when he potted this pink to have a good position on the
:34:34. > :34:40.last red. Yeah, would like to have played for
:34:40. > :34:46.the green. The green could be the easiest chlor, not the yellow here.
:34:46. > :34:52.It just shows, doesn't it, a careless little shot, he just left
:34:52. > :34:58.himself wrong on the pink. He's decided to play for the black, but
:34:58. > :35:03.he's, well, he's stopped in his traction. He feels as though it
:35:03. > :35:08.bounced a little bit more than he expected off this cushion. And if
:35:08. > :35:11.he's straight on this black, or just off straight, which he is, he
:35:11. > :35:21.will be struggle to stkpush the yellow.
:35:21. > :35:31.
:35:31. > :35:37.-- to disturb the yellow. He did white out towards the middle pocket.
:35:37. > :35:43.He is left-handed. Judd Trump, eight. I can only assume that he
:35:43. > :35:53.did play the colour on the yellow and tried to knock it down the
:35:53. > :35:53.
:35:53. > :36:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:36:35. > :36:39.cushion, just gave it a little bit Well, it's not the first time that
:36:39. > :36:44.Stuart has missed the ball on the way up. Well, he just about flicked
:36:44. > :36:54.it on the way up, but got a bit more on the way back. Anyway, it's
:36:54. > :36:57.
:36:57. > :37:07.No, it's OK. He's played it well. APPLAUSE
:37:07. > :37:16.
:37:16. > :37:26.he's not left the pot, but he's gonna be snookered next shot,
:37:26. > :37:47.
:37:47. > :37:52.that's for sure. Yeah, nicely played. Even if you
:37:52. > :38:02.hit the yellow fullish at that pace, he would knock it towards the side
:38:02. > :38:30.
:38:30. > :38:40.can get in behind this yellow. Cushion first.
:38:40. > :38:53.
:38:53. > :39:03.And he did do. Now, is he gonna miss the green or
:39:03. > :39:08.
:39:08. > :39:18.nudge it and be on it? He's nudged looks, for all money now, Stuart
:39:18. > :39:19.
:39:19. > :39:24.Bingham, who led 3-2, he's gonna fall 5-3 behind. Nine. A frame that
:39:24. > :39:33.Judd had, well, two real good opportunities. Stuart missed an
:39:33. > :39:43.easy pink, careless safety attempt. And never really got another
:39:43. > :39:47.
:39:47. > :39:57.Now just one frame away from a place in the quarterfinals. He
:39:57. > :40:33.
:40:33. > :40:43.leads Stuart Bingham by five frames positively, for the black. Didn't
:40:43. > :40:54.
:40:54. > :41:00.play it with a lot of safety. Has whether he could really get through
:41:00. > :41:10.to all of that red, you know? Very tight. And then, of course, he
:41:10. > :41:30.
:41:30. > :41:36.reached the point of no return, has Stuart. And he's got to raise his
:41:36. > :41:41.game. I have been saying that for all of this match. Even though he's
:41:41. > :41:45.hung on in there. He can certainly play better than he's shown. And
:41:45. > :41:55.may be maybe now, with his back against the wall, he can produce
:41:55. > :42:01.
:42:01. > :42:06.in his first ranking tournament, won the last four frames to beat
:42:06. > :42:11.Mark Williams. No fear. As you say, sometimes you can relax
:42:11. > :42:21.and find your game and you know you've got nothing else to lose.
:42:21. > :42:21.
:42:21. > :43:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:43:04. > :43:11.that? He had a chance there. If he had
:43:11. > :43:15.have made a sizeable break, a frame-winning contribution, he
:43:15. > :43:20.might have given the lift to push this match all the way. But up
:43:20. > :43:24.cannot miss when you're in like that, not at this level. Looks as -
:43:24. > :43:34.- but you cannot miss when you're in like that, not at this level.
:43:34. > :43:35.
:43:35. > :43:45.Looks as though he's covered the because he's got that red over the
:43:45. > :43:49.
:43:49. > :43:54.corner. Good shot. Pressure on that. He's
:43:54. > :43:59.hampered playing the pink. But he's played a little bit easy. He
:43:59. > :44:05.doesn't have a lot to do with the cue ball.
:44:05. > :44:15.Yes, well played. And now frame and match at his mercy.
:44:15. > :44:19.
:44:19. > :44:25.you want, isn't it, to win the -- yeah, just the sort of opportunity
:44:25. > :44:35.you want, isn't it, to win the match? Nothing to do but just hold
:44:35. > :44:35.
:44:35. > :45:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:45:35. > :45:45.your concentration, one shot at a Not making things any easier for
:45:45. > :45:52.
:45:52. > :45:58.would say 98% of players would have just rolled that pink in. But Judd,
:45:58. > :46:08.he prefer toss stun the ball. -- but Judd, he prefers to stun the
:46:08. > :46:15.
:46:15. > :46:22.APPLAUSE Played this absolutely inch-perfect.
:46:22. > :46:32.A couple of shaky moment, positional-wise. But he's back.
:46:32. > :46:38.
:46:38. > :46:44.It would be a boring game, John, if everyone played the same, wouldn't
:46:44. > :46:49.it? Yes, it would. And he's certainly breathed a little bit of
:46:49. > :46:52.life into the game, has Judd Trump. He's continued that tremendous run
:46:52. > :47:02.that he had in the World Championship at the end of last
:47:02. > :47:07.
:47:07. > :47:11.season. difficult, and we've got to
:47:11. > :47:15.remember that he's taken a few knocks along the way, has Judd.
:47:15. > :47:20.Because he turned professional in 2005. It's not as if he only turned
:47:20. > :47:27.professional a couple of years ago. So he really had to work his way up
:47:27. > :47:32.the rankings. And now he's there, he looks completely at home. It's
:47:32. > :47:42.where he - where everybody thought he should be, it just look a little
:47:42. > :47:58.
:47:58. > :48:05.moment to get that cue ball in careless shot, where he put the red
:48:05. > :48:10.into the side of the centre, that's left him too much angle on the blue.
:48:10. > :48:15.REFEREE: Judd Trump, 50. Not over the line yet, then. He's back to
:48:15. > :48:25.his seat, with a 24-point lead. But -- with a 26-point lead. But
:48:25. > :49:00.
:49:00. > :49:04.there's still a possible 59 left on was to get it reasonably safe. And
:49:04. > :49:11.it is, I am not certain whether Stuart will be tempted by this red
:49:11. > :49:17.to the far right corner. He was. Hello! Oh. Well, would you believe
:49:17. > :49:21.And even if the blue is covering the direct line to the red, he's
:49:21. > :49:25.got a red on the line that he could knock one on to the other. He's
:49:25. > :49:32.gotta be careful if he's trying to play this cushion first, because
:49:32. > :49:36.that red is right into the jaws of the pocket. He could miss it
:49:36. > :49:46.altogether. Can't be much more in the jaws. I don't know how it's not
:49:46. > :49:54.
:49:54. > :50:04.very accurate. So Stuart Bingham was very fortunate there not to
:50:04. > :50:13.
:50:13. > :50:17.pot two reds? One. Well, that puts a little bit of pressure on this
:50:17. > :50:27.brown now. Brown or green. If he's gonna play the pots, he's got to
:50:27. > :50:45.
:50:45. > :50:53.Good shot. APPLAUSE
:50:53. > :51:03.Very good shot. From the type of shot that can just give your
:51:03. > :51:12.
:51:12. > :51:16.confidence a little boost. There's cause here. The green spot not
:51:16. > :51:23.available, and nor this spot available. So just to remind you,
:51:23. > :51:33.it goes in a direct line for the spot and the top cushion.
:51:33. > :51:39.
:51:39. > :51:42.That red near the green is now red over the right centre is not
:51:42. > :51:47.easily potable, because he might have played it there. Perhaps it's
:51:47. > :51:57.more difficult than it looks on the screen.
:51:57. > :52:11.
:52:11. > :52:16.think he will finish up with a nice angle on the blue, but it's the
:52:16. > :52:20.awkward red behind the green that's the problem. 13. I don't think it
:52:20. > :52:25.pots, no matter where he will put the cue ball. He will have to
:52:25. > :52:35.disturb it. APPLAUSE
:52:35. > :52:41.
:52:41. > :52:43.He's looking at the potting angle. It's tricky, this.
:52:43. > :52:53.APPLAUSE But it's a good one.
:52:53. > :53:01.
:53:01. > :53:11.really, you'll feel, is the green. Well, if he could get the cue ball
:53:11. > :53:34.
:53:34. > :53:39.back to where it is now, that would yellow. Tried to get too close to
:53:39. > :53:48.the green to make it unmissable, when he should have just made
:53:48. > :53:54.certain he stayed in the middle of the table.
:53:54. > :54:04.A bit of a let-off there for Judd Trump. He's had a few chances to
:54:04. > :54:42.
:54:42. > :54:47.finish this frame and the match. You can play it thin, just send the
:54:47. > :54:57.green on to the top cushion, or up and down. He's played the thin one.
:54:57. > :55:13.
:55:13. > :55:18.He's played it well. Good shot. erring on the side of hitting it...
:55:18. > :55:22.Well, missing rather than hitting it, because the problem is with
:55:22. > :55:32.this shot, if you just catch the green a little bit thicker than you
:55:32. > :55:39.
:55:39. > :55:44.intend, it will go back up the green straight on, a double kiss.
:55:44. > :55:48.Send the white back up. As long as he hits it dead straight. Because
:55:48. > :55:52.if he hits it either side of the green, the white's going to go to
:55:52. > :55:56.the side and might leave a pot on. That's certainly an option. I think
:55:56. > :56:00.if he misses the green this time, he might have to play it. Yeah,
:56:00. > :56:04.because if he tries the thin one and doesn't hit it, he will get a
:56:04. > :56:14.warning. He's played it OK. In fact, he's played it very well. And the
:56:14. > :56:29.
:56:29. > :56:39.blue might be a bonus here. points behind, so he needs up to
:56:39. > :57:01.
:57:01. > :57:11.that -- I could not have refused that green all day. No. It looked
:57:11. > :57:17.
:57:17. > :57:20.like a natural three-quarter ball in his favour.
:57:20. > :57:26.I can't believe that Stuart was attempting to pot that. I think he
:57:26. > :57:33.was trying to hit it so it came off the top cushion, side cushion and
:57:33. > :57:40.back to the top cushion. Anyway, here's another chance for Judd. All
:57:40. > :57:41.good positional shot needed. APPLAUSE
:57:41. > :57:42.APPLAUSE Well,
:57:42. > :57:42.Well, that
:57:42. > :57:42.Well, that was
:57:42. > :57:47.Well, that was a
:57:47. > :57:54.Well, that was a very close one for middle pocket. Stuart sat there,
:57:54. > :58:04.thinking, "This match could be over now." Seven.
:58:04. > :58:09.
:58:09. > :58:13.very disappointed here. He's not played his best and he's been given
:58:13. > :58:17.one or two chances by his opponent. But in the end, it's Judd Trump
:58:17. > :58:23.who's gone through. He's won the first break, then played catch-up.
:58:23. > :58:27.He went ahead 4-3, then 5-3. He runs out 6-3. Stuart Bingham
:58:27. > :58:32.disappointed, but Judd Trump is now through to the quarterfinal for
:58:32. > :58:34.that head to head with Ronnie O'Sullivan on Thursday. Can't wait
:58:34. > :58:37.O'Sullivan on Thursday. Can't wait for that. And nor can we. Judd
:58:37. > :58:42.through to the quarterfinals for the very first time. In fact,
:58:42. > :58:46.that's his first-ever victory at the final stages of the Masters
:58:46. > :58:50.event. He will play Ronnie O'Sullivan, the four-time champion
