:00:53. > :01:15.Hello again, live from Alexandra Palace in north London on this
:01:16. > :01:18.fourth day of the Dafabet Masters. When we started out this evening,
:01:19. > :01:24.there was one place still to be claimed, one remaining place in the
:01:25. > :01:27.quarter-finals and my goodness, what a scrap we've had over the last few
:01:28. > :01:34.hours to goefrt the line. It's between the world number 6, Barry
:01:35. > :01:40.Hawkins and his old foe, Ricky Walden from Chester. These two are
:01:41. > :01:45.very dramatic Crucible semifinals nine months ago. This is their first
:01:46. > :01:52.meeting since then. It is stirring up all kinds of memories.
:01:53. > :01:55.Left-hander Hawkins began in crisp fashion taking the opening two
:01:56. > :01:57.frames. We'll pick them up in frame three in the company of Stephen
:01:58. > :02:21.Hendry and Denis Taylor. R DENNIS TAYLOR: Whatever you do,
:02:22. > :02:26.don't hit the blue. That's the break-off shot. He hasn't left
:02:27. > :03:05.anything, but still annoying when you do that. STEPHEN HENDRY: He left
:03:06. > :03:11.the red to this corner. You have to commit to it. He could play it with
:03:12. > :03:13.topspin and bring the cue ball back up to baulk. Does he have a pot into
:03:14. > :03:31.the right corner as well? APPLAUSE
:03:32. > :03:48.Fantastic at the moment. Another superb long pot. As you can
:03:49. > :04:36.see. 8'6". Not on the table, on the cushion. Perfect cueing.
:04:37. > :04:43.Even if he is straight, he is OK. I think he has a slight angle. You can
:04:44. > :04:48.tell, where he is bridging, he has. Black available into the right
:04:49. > :04:59.corner pocket. So, in a couple of shot's time - well, he may have to
:05:00. > :05:06.play a red, pink and - to allow that black free to both pockets in a few
:05:07. > :05:09.shots' time. I think we've established there is absolutely
:05:10. > :05:22.nothing wrong with the conditions, Dennis. Nothing wrong with that cue
:05:23. > :05:26.ball. That he he let that cue ball run there, about four inches too
:05:27. > :05:32.far. He wanted to be straight on this red to the right corner. He
:05:33. > :05:40.still should get it. It's annoying. He should have been playing for the
:05:41. > :05:42.black there. ' Probably play now for the red closest to the black
:05:43. > :06:04.cushion. If he can avoid the bunch. It might have been a bit too thin to
:06:05. > :06:13.hold for that one that Stephen suggested but this one will do
:06:14. > :06:17.nicely. He can play for that one now. He is hampered slightly but
:06:18. > :06:20.that doesn't matter because of the red that Stephen mentioned, was
:06:21. > :06:31.available. You can tell when a player is
:06:32. > :06:36.confident going around the table. There is no looking up around it, he
:06:37. > :06:41.just gets down and plays the shot. That last red was - I thought he
:06:42. > :06:45.might have a look for it for a while when he got close to the side
:06:46. > :06:54.cushion but he just got down and struck it in beautifully. Yes, I've
:06:55. > :06:58.always said, Stephen, the amount of frames you are practising at, even
:06:59. > :07:00.in those conditions, the first shot that you see, is usually the correct
:07:01. > :07:20.shot. He just didn't quite enough
:07:21. > :07:26.momentum, topspin on the cue ball there. You would expect him to be on
:07:27. > :07:30.something easier than this. He has to be a wee bit careful with this.
:07:31. > :07:37.He is close to that red. He could quite easily push that. Yeah, you'd
:07:38. > :07:39.much rather than stunning these when they are that close together. That's
:07:40. > :08:06.why he is not taking it on. The two reds that are together. If
:08:07. > :08:09.the one that he is looking at pots, that's not aed about choice. The
:08:10. > :08:14.white will push on through the reds. He would finish on the blue, or if
:08:15. > :08:30.he heads on up the table, he would still be OK. Well-played.
:08:31. > :08:38.I think he has travelled a bit far to put the blue into the centre. He
:08:39. > :08:48.could drop it into the right corner and then a choice of reds to the
:08:49. > :08:49.left corner. But this is about as good snooker as we have seen all
:08:50. > :09:20.week. Yes, a few of the players in this
:09:21. > :09:30.year's Masters have set off so well. Just thinking back to Stephen
:09:31. > :09:33.Maguire. He never missed a frame in the opening games. All of a sudden
:09:34. > :09:42.that changed around. Ronnie has probably been the most consistent
:09:43. > :09:46.with his win against Robert Milkins but Robert was just overawed on the
:09:47. > :09:50.occasion. But I'm with you, this is the best cueing we have seen. There
:09:51. > :09:58.is certainly nothing wrong with the balls or the table, the way Barry
:09:59. > :10:20.Hawkins is going about it things. -- about things.
:10:21. > :10:32.This red would make absolutely sure of the third frame.
:10:33. > :10:41.It's amazing, Ricky Walden got in on the opening frame when Barry went in
:10:42. > :10:46.off that bunch of reds and Ricky didn't capitalise on it. He missed
:10:47. > :10:53.one shot to the right middle, and he hasn't had at that chance since.
:10:54. > :10:57.It's amazing how, as Stephen alluded to, sometimes the balls don't
:10:58. > :10:59.forgive you and he just hasn't had a chance. Barry has looked in superb
:11:00. > :11:45.form. Barry made 35 centuries last season.
:11:46. > :11:51.He's made 12 this season. We've had nine so far in this year's Masters.
:11:52. > :11:53.He is a left-hander, so he has an angle on the pink. He can drop in
:11:54. > :12:18.behind this. Just dropping it in dead weight. So
:12:19. > :12:30.the black for his 155th century of his career. Get in, well-played.
:12:31. > :12:40.APPLAUSE He seems to have quite a lot of
:12:41. > :12:43.support here this evening, Barry. His home down is Ditton in Kent, so
:12:44. > :12:58.he is not too far away. Two good frames, these boys, and we
:12:59. > :13:07.are both very likeable lads. You couldn't meet two nicer gents. But
:13:08. > :13:13.he's not being very nice to Ricky Walden at the moment, is he? He is
:13:14. > :13:18.not missing anything. One yellow, a green, a brown, five blues, five
:13:19. > :13:29.pinks, five blacks. There's another blue.
:13:30. > :13:37.Very impressive cueing. Even that pink went straight into the heart of
:13:38. > :13:41.the pocket. Well-played, Barry Hawkins. That was a superb effort.
:13:42. > :13:48.He just can't do a thing wrong at the moment. Breaks of 85, 57 and
:13:49. > :13:52.that 132. He leads 3-0. Quite brilliant start for Barry,
:13:53. > :13:57.playing virtually flawless snooker so far. Hawkins underlined his
:13:58. > :14:01.superiority with another searching Toure, 112 after the interval to
:14:02. > :14:06.lead 4-1. This match in complete contrast to that Crucible semifinal
:14:07. > :14:10.in which Walden last year streaked away early, only to get overhauled
:14:11. > :14:14.by Hawkins late on. Into the sixth frame now and it is Ricky Walden,
:14:15. > :14:27.the world Number 11, in front by 30 points.
:14:28. > :14:53.He might just have got ah way with this. -- away.
:14:54. > :15:01.Oh, this would be a cracking red to knock in and bet on the black. This
:15:02. > :15:48.would be a little beauty. Oh, he has caught the knuckle.
:15:49. > :16:03.He knew he was leaving this tempter for Ricky. Can he pull it off?
:16:04. > :16:07.Well-played. That was a calculated risk that Barry Hawkins took at his
:16:08. > :16:38.previous shot. He knew he was going to leave a half chance for Ricky.
:16:39. > :16:47.Already 39 in front, but there is a few difficult reds coming up.
:16:48. > :16:51.Two fairly comfortable ones and then it starts to get difficult. He is
:16:52. > :17:09.going to knead a couple of difficult reds, to clinch the frame.
:17:10. > :17:18.Still got the one tloos red. He has the perfect angle to the blue, but
:17:19. > :17:24.is he going to risk cannoning the two reds there. What is he in front?
:17:25. > :17:37.He is still going to need one of the difficult reds.
:17:38. > :18:08.It just came off the right knuckle here.
:18:09. > :18:12.left side of the table, one away from the cushions, potable, but the
:18:13. > :18:16.others are all difficult, so just leave the angle with the blue, take
:18:17. > :18:19.a risk with the cannon on the two reds near the black because you have
:18:20. > :18:21.the other one to the left of the black. If he plays this and it works
:18:22. > :18:48.out, this would be a frame clincher. That will do nicely. He should have
:18:49. > :18:53.hit it slightly harder. The red to the left corner, the black doesn't
:18:54. > :19:17.go to the right corner, so he has to play the pink to the right, centre.
:19:18. > :19:25.That was a good shot because these pockets are very tight. He really
:19:26. > :19:49.did play it well. It was an important frame for Ricky
:19:50. > :19:55.Walden to win and it keeps him right in this match. As I mentioned 5-1
:19:56. > :19:57.behind t would have been quite a mountain to climb but 4-2, he is
:19:58. > :20:28.back in it. Barry is the one that has been
:20:29. > :20:38.knocking in the frame-winning breaks. He has breaks of 85, 57,
:20:39. > :20:44.132, 112. Ricky had a 50 in frame 4. This is his highest, coming at just
:20:45. > :20:54.the right time. Well that clung to the cushion that time.
:20:55. > :21:05.This is a bit more like the Ricky Walden that we've come to see over
:21:06. > :21:10.the last few seasons. He produced his best snooker out in China. He
:21:11. > :21:35.won his two ranking titles out there.
:21:36. > :22:02.He has made 15 centuries so far this season and 23 last season.
:22:03. > :22:13.Good cueing, well-played, Ricky Walden. Another century in this
:22:14. > :22:18.match. Barry Hawkins has had two. Ricky Walden has now had one. That
:22:19. > :22:20.was an important frame he took. He now trails 4-2.
:22:21. > :22:25.? STUDIO: Yes, a pugnacious response
:22:26. > :22:29.from Walden with that century of his own. Every frame so far with a
:22:30. > :22:35.50-plus break at least. Great quality from these two men. Hawkins
:22:36. > :22:41.went within one frame of victory at 5-2 in front. But Walden has kept
:22:42. > :22:50.himself in it with a contribution of 73 in the 8th. It is now 5-3 to hue
:22:51. > :22:54.Kens. He desperately wants to get over the line but we are into a
:22:55. > :23:37.pressure frame now. Well, it's not over just yet, this
:23:38. > :23:42.frame. That was a universal sign of a snooker player when you miss a
:23:43. > :23:44.shot like that. Stick your elbow out when you know you haven't hit it
:23:45. > :23:53.properly. I mean, the thing with it here is
:23:54. > :23:57.that he can tie at the moment but if he can pot the brown and blue and
:23:58. > :24:02.get in behind the pink, he could play a great snooker in behind the
:24:03. > :24:08.black. I mean, he doesn't have to clear up here. Well, now he has got
:24:09. > :24:13.an angle to pot the blue and just free that black and finish on the
:24:14. > :24:24.pink but there was a couple of ways he could have gone about this, so
:24:25. > :24:29.this will certainly open things up. Could we have a respoted black in
:24:30. > :24:34.this frame that Ricky Walden looked like he'd won but all of a sudden he
:24:35. > :24:41.might have to see the toss of a coin. I mean he rolled T he normally
:24:42. > :24:45.stuns them, Ricky. And that's - as Stephen was saying, showing you, he
:24:46. > :24:57.didn't push the cue through in a straight line. Wow, what tension if
:24:58. > :25:04.he can pot this pink and black. It's going to be a respoted black. And
:25:05. > :25:21.you want to win the toss. That's for sure.
:25:22. > :25:27.APPLAUSE. Amazing. Ricky Walden had an earlier
:25:28. > :25:32.break of 56. He looked a strong favourite. He missed that green. Now
:25:33. > :25:39.he has to suffer a re-spotted black. As I say, you want to win the toss.
:25:40. > :25:42.I'm not so sure you know, Dennis. I think the players are so good at
:25:43. > :25:47.playing the negative safety, the black on one side of the cushion,
:25:48. > :25:52.the white on the other, sometimes you are maybe better hoping he makes
:25:53. > :25:59.a mess of it. Well, Ricky did win the toss. He has put Barry in. Let's
:26:00. > :26:07.see how he plays it. Not very well. Not very well. Did that turn off
:26:08. > :26:09.slightly? He looks a bit confused? And Ricky Walden, well, he can't
:26:10. > :26:22.believe the chance he has here. He is still in this year's Masters,
:26:23. > :26:27.is the man from Chester. Barry played a poor shot on the black
:26:28. > :26:29.there. Maybe the white drifted slightly, but game on, it is 5-4.
:26:30. > :26:33.? STUDIO: Game on indeed, Hawkins
:26:34. > :26:39.reeling from that mistake on the black and Ricky managed to level the
:26:40. > :26:45.match 5-5 in a tense 53-minute tenth frame, so he has won the last three
:26:46. > :26:50.frames in a row to force a decider. He well-remembers that defeat by
:26:51. > :26:53.Hawkins in the Crucible in the semifinal last year. How he would
:26:54. > :26:59.like to avenge T they started this final frame at 11.10pm this evening
:27:00. > :27:10.and here is Walden on a break of 30. -- to avenge it.
:27:11. > :27:14.Now Barry's supporters are saying - come on, Barry, but there is no pot
:27:15. > :27:26.on here. It was quite a risky one. He wasn't
:27:27. > :27:31.guaranteed position off that. But I suppose it has to be said the run of
:27:32. > :27:37.the ball starting it favour Ricky. Earlier on in this match everything
:27:38. > :27:41.was going against him. I wonder if he'll take the double on or play
:27:42. > :27:45.back on the cushion? There was a possibility that he could have had a
:27:46. > :27:51.go at a double and not left a red there but he didn't fancy it. I
:27:52. > :28:26.thought he might have left this red on to cut into the corner.
:28:27. > :28:37.A touching ball, that would make a lot of difference. He can still get
:28:38. > :28:49.back. REFEREE: Touching ball. There is still a shot on to get back
:28:50. > :28:55.behind the black. In fact, no. Well, there is a bit of an advantage of
:28:56. > :29:00.getting in behind the black but, it is a bit early to be knocking the
:29:01. > :29:04.black safe. He has a 34 point advantage. If he was a few more in
:29:05. > :29:05.front, he would just roll off the black and put it tight on the
:29:06. > :29:27.cushion. A little bit of a stalemate at the
:29:28. > :29:37.moment. There'll be no re-rack, that's for sure, what with Ricky
:29:38. > :29:43.having a 35-point advantage. But the way the balls are going to finish
:29:44. > :29:53.up, a 35-point advantage is not going to be that big a lead.
:29:54. > :29:59.Eventually they will open up. You can only do this so many times and
:30:00. > :30:52.then it'll become more difficult to just roll to a red.
:30:53. > :30:56., , the slight advantage at the moment is with Ricky Walden, in this
:30:57. > :31:08.situation. Yes, he is doing what you have to do
:31:09. > :31:10.in this situation, getting the cue ball too close to the top cushion
:31:11. > :31:45.for Barry to play the same shot. Not quite on the cushion this time.
:31:46. > :31:50.So, can somehow Barry reverse the roles here? But he'd have to raise
:31:51. > :31:52.the butt of the cue in the air if he is going to screw back off the three
:31:53. > :32:06.reds that are near the pink spot. And it is tough on these very fine
:32:07. > :32:10.cloths, because that type of shot, where you raise the butt of the cue,
:32:11. > :32:15.they strike down and tend to be bounds around more. It is slightly
:32:16. > :32:18.easier this type of shot with the old, thicker cloths that they used
:32:19. > :32:46.to use. He is now in a situation. He is
:32:47. > :32:58.going to try that shot that I mentioned.
:32:59. > :33:04.Where is this red going to finish? I say he is OK. I don't think there is
:33:05. > :33:09.an easy red to the left, middle pocket but look at the reds now, the
:33:10. > :33:14.way they are spread. If there is no pot on, one good shot from Ricky
:33:15. > :33:18.Walden here and he could put himself right in business. He could off to
:33:19. > :33:23.the red that's to the left of the black.
:33:24. > :33:34.A little touch little touch aside off that red. He could get in there
:33:35. > :33:39.and he would have Barry in all sorts of trouble.
:33:40. > :33:53.Well, he could have played a better one than that.
:33:54. > :34:02.He has a straight red to the left centre, but if he fancies it and
:34:03. > :34:07.misses it, it is a shot that might be his last shot. Well, I'm sure
:34:08. > :34:13.Ricky didn't intend to leave him this as a tempter. He could have had
:34:14. > :34:18.him tight on the cushion behind the black but Barry Hawkins. Well, it is
:34:19. > :34:22.make your mind up time. This is a huge shot. I feel it is one he has
:34:23. > :34:35.to take on, though. Yes, no point in looking what you
:34:36. > :34:40.might leave. Forget about that. Concentrate on the pot. If it goes
:34:41. > :34:42.in, Barry, you've given yourself a great chance but there is so much
:34:43. > :35:04.pressure on this. There really is. I think it is the safety, from the
:35:05. > :35:09.way he was lifting the butt of the cue again. Yeah, if he was going to
:35:10. > :35:20.take it on, he should have played it by now.
:35:21. > :35:27.Where is this red going to finish? If it bounces off the cushion? Well,
:35:28. > :35:34.this is a big shot now for Ricky Walden.
:35:35. > :35:41.Well, there is so much at stake for these two players. I'd much rather
:35:42. > :35:46.go out playing a pot, being aggressive, though, than going out
:35:47. > :35:53.on a bad safety. That leads a very bad taste.
:35:54. > :36:02.Well t might turn out the right shot. What a chance. There were two
:36:03. > :36:06.ways of playing that, you tun stun it or roll it in and get the other
:36:07. > :36:10.side of the black. Whichever way, it was difficult but there's nothing
:36:11. > :36:14.difficult at the moment. What a chance, as you said, Stephen. Can he
:36:15. > :36:33.hold himself together? This is a very situation to a match
:36:34. > :36:40.he had the other week against Mark Fu. He had the easy shot and Fu had
:36:41. > :36:47.the difficult shot. He zrnt to do anying with the cue ball, just
:36:48. > :37:03.concentrate. You -- he didn't have to do anything.
:37:04. > :37:10.Now I'd be looking to stay around the pink and blue. No need to play
:37:11. > :37:14.for blacks. You wouldn't think you would ever need to get out of
:37:15. > :37:19.position now, if you stayed on pink and blues.
:37:20. > :37:23.Yes. That's what he is doing, he has reds either side of the blue. It
:37:24. > :37:33.doesn't matter which angle he leaves himself. He's always had a pretty
:37:34. > :37:38.good temperament, has Barry, but, well, Ricky Walden was a strong
:37:39. > :37:59.favourite to go through to the next round about five minutes ago.
:38:00. > :38:08.Well, that was a nervy one. Dear me. No wonder he was tapping his head.
:38:09. > :38:11.Lucky for him that red that's near the middle pocket, still cuts in.
:38:12. > :38:13.But it should have been straightforward. He didn't cue that
:38:14. > :38:24.green very well. You pointed the green on right-hand
:38:25. > :38:28.side of the pocket. The cue ball went nowhere. You would think it
:38:29. > :38:36.would be impossible to bed land somewhere, in this situation, but he
:38:37. > :38:41.has managed it. He has finished up, he may have to try and get himself
:38:42. > :38:52.on to the black off this. So he has to be very careful.
:38:53. > :39:02.You And this is' gone wrong, I think unless it pulls up, it needs to pull
:39:03. > :39:06.up. Oh, it'll still just about pot but another fraction harder and he
:39:07. > :39:11.was completely out of position. So the tension - well, you can see it
:39:12. > :39:15.on both players' faces. It might work out in his favour. The only two
:39:16. > :39:24.reds that are safe are the two that are together. He may cannon into
:39:25. > :39:31.them here. No, that's a twitch. That really is pure pressure. He hasn't
:39:32. > :39:35.dropped on a red that he played for. Ricky hasn't got a straight-forward
:39:36. > :39:43.shot. But that was just pure pressure that caused him to miss
:39:44. > :39:49.that. This red, well, he was up straight away. He knew he mis-hit
:39:50. > :39:53.that. But Ricky hasn't got an easy opener. The red will pass the black.
:39:54. > :39:58.He needs to pot it cleanly into the pocket. No use flicking it in off
:39:59. > :40:00.the black. I think when Barry missed the black, he thought - well, that's
:40:01. > :40:23.it all over but not just yet. Amazing. It is who can just hold
:40:24. > :40:30.themselves together that is going to get through to the quarter-final.
:40:31. > :40:33.Again with that red, a stun run-through. Surely it makes the pot
:40:34. > :40:36.more difficult. I know he was worried about leaving reds to the
:40:37. > :40:42.centre but I don't think he should be thinking about that at this
:40:43. > :40:46.stage, just get the ball potted the easiest way possible. I am he a just
:40:47. > :40:50.wondering if he is cut a red into the middle pocket, right of the two
:40:51. > :40:55.reds and back up for the black. That might be on, you know, I think he
:40:56. > :41:03.can. He goes past the pink and red and he can get on the black.
:41:04. > :41:12.Well, he almost went in-off. He left it awkward. Well, now Ricky has a
:41:13. > :41:18.red to the middle pocket and he'll finish on the black buts' not
:41:19. > :41:25.guaranteed to get it safe. -- finish on the black. But he's not
:41:26. > :41:36.guaranteed to get it safe. I tell you what, this is not a gimme.
:41:37. > :41:46.He's overcut it. He was on the black. But it makes you wonder if he
:41:47. > :41:50.wasn't trying to get the white on the cushion as well, instead of
:41:51. > :41:55.putting everything into the pot. It is understandable. I mean, it is
:41:56. > :42:33.just so tense out there for these boys.
:42:34. > :42:38.Almost tight on the cushion. If he was off the cushion, the red to the
:42:39. > :42:52.middle would be potable. It's still potable but from there, whichever
:42:53. > :42:56.red he takes, is difficult. And the fact there is no easy safety shot.
:42:57. > :43:05.He is going to have to take a pot on.
:43:06. > :43:11.Oh, that could be the one. He didn't push the cue through in a straight
:43:12. > :43:17.line. He couldn't see an easy safety shot. But, well, Ricky Walden, what
:43:18. > :43:25.a chance you have now to take a match that it looked you weren't
:43:26. > :43:32.going to get anywhere near it. 4-1 # down and at 5-2 down, Barry was
:43:33. > :43:35.dominating the match but it just shows you, what has happened in the
:43:36. > :43:37.last half hour or so, what the pressure of the Masters can do to
:43:38. > :44:02.you. He just has to give himself a little
:44:03. > :44:09.bit more time, Ricky. Sometimes he tends to rush. He is very fluent but
:44:10. > :44:17.in these situations, just give yourself that extra little second so
:44:18. > :44:47.that you don't make that mis mistake.
:44:48. > :44:51.Well, he's still got a bit of work to do, has Ricky. It's not over just
:44:52. > :45:07.yet. He didn't want to be that close to
:45:08. > :45:23.the cushion. It should be OK, but... Oh, that wobbled. That wobbled a
:45:24. > :45:27.touch. So, he just needs the green and the red next to the pink and a
:45:28. > :45:30.high value colour and Barry will need a snooker. He doesn't have to
:45:31. > :45:47.worry about that difficult red. With the pressure out there, though,
:45:48. > :45:56.he would have liked to have been closer to this red. Wondering what
:45:57. > :46:33.should have been. One snooker needed. He will try and
:46:34. > :46:37.make sure of this red. This will get Ricky Walden into the quarter-final
:46:38. > :46:59.of the Masters for the very first time. He didn't even attempt the
:47:00. > :47:14.pot. So, barring a snooker, Ricky Walden has pulled off a remarkable
:47:15. > :47:19.victory from 4-1 behind to win 6-5. And that maybe Barry's last shot.
:47:20. > :47:21.Yes, he will be really disappointed in the way he has finished this
:47:22. > :47:40.match, Barry. That's the one. Roll up to the black
:47:41. > :47:44.and Barry will come forward to shake his hands, I feel. He is on his way
:47:45. > :47:48.it shake hands with his good friend, Ricky Walden. Barry absolutely
:47:49. > :47:54.dominated the first part of the match. He led 4-1 and 5-2 but Ricky
:47:55. > :47:58.Walden stuck in there and what a remarkable win in the end. He has
:47:59. > :48:03.won the last four frames to put himself in the quarter-final, for
:48:04. > :48:07.the figs time, 6-5. Well-playeded boy thes. Very tough. I thought I
:48:08. > :48:11.was out of the tournament so many times tonight, I hung in and stuck N
:48:12. > :48:16.I wasn't playing very well myself but I tried my hardest and came
:48:17. > :48:20.through in the end. I know that you stick in there, sometimes momentum
:48:21. > :48:23.can turn and you can have luck come your way. I stayed with it and
:48:24. > :48:29.hopefully to get the chance in the last which I did. The main ambition
:48:30. > :48:33.is to win it. It is a tough ask, so many good players, the best in the
:48:34. > :48:39.world, so a tough couple of days for me if I can do it. One game at a
:48:40. > :48:45.time. Ronnie O'Sullivan is next. Ricky has at time bemoaned what he
:48:46. > :48:51.calls, his lack of killer instinct. He'll need it again tonight. We are
:48:52. > :48:56.left with aurt quaer final line-up that is as red hot as an Aussie
:48:57. > :49:03.summer. But who is going to wilt over the next cup quell of days.
:49:04. > :49:11.What a contest when Seoul bane Higgins go and Murphy and Fu. Then
:49:12. > :49:16.world number 1 against 5. Robertson against Maguire and Ricky Walden
:49:17. > :49:22.earned that date with Ronnie O'Sullivan. Well, snooker Extra is
:49:23. > :49:29.next. Then we have tomorrow afternoon,
:49:30. > :49:42.Murphy against Fu. Those of you with long memories will remember the UK
:49:43. > :49:50.final six years ago, it was epic. That's all for now. Goodbye.
