Day 3

:00:36. > :00:42.Good afternoon. You know, at the Betfair Masters, things can get a

:00:42. > :00:46.little bit raucous. The London crowds love a crowd-pleaser. Over

:00:47. > :00:53.the years that the likes of Alex Higgins and Jimmy White and Ronnie

:00:53. > :00:58.O'Sullivan, the flashier and more flamboyant, the better. With no

:00:59. > :01:03.Ronnie O'Sullivan in the next, the responsibility as crowd-pleaser

:01:03. > :01:13.falls to Judd Trump. There is a brisk name -- sale in T-shirts with

:01:13. > :01:27.

:01:27. > :01:33.his name on it. He is occasionally Judd Trump's inimitable style it

:01:33. > :01:41.burst onto the scene in 2011. Out Regis screw backs, but Regis pots,

:01:41. > :01:51.the crowd were entertained. The boy had become big. He is flamboyant

:01:51. > :02:06.

:02:06. > :02:10.and out Regus. He likes an REFEREE: Foul and a miss. Despite

:02:10. > :02:13.it looking like an easy victory at the last Championship, the

:02:13. > :02:23.entertainment went wrong. It was not very entertaining for Judd

:02:23. > :02:30.

:02:30. > :02:36.Trump watching the rest of the There was no atmosphere out there.

:02:36. > :02:45.I was trying to force it a little bit, forcing shots I should not

:02:45. > :02:49.have gone for trying to get the crowd involved. It seemed miserable.

:02:49. > :02:59.It is time for him to re-establish himself in the game. He will not

:02:59. > :03:08.have to play too much and Noddy snooker against Barry Hawkins. --

:03:08. > :03:18.too much and naughty snooker. have dry to calm my game down dead.

:03:18. > :03:22.

:03:22. > :03:31.Let's talk about Judd Trump. Int 2011, he won against Mark Allen. In

:03:31. > :03:36.2012, his Noddy snooker did not work, did it? He should have shown

:03:36. > :03:40.respect in that match. He needs to realise he is not going to be able

:03:40. > :03:49.to play but snooker all the time. He needs to focus on the job, to

:03:49. > :03:53.win the match. A lot of people would say he does not have the

:03:53. > :04:00.ability to live up to it and sometimes it costs him? If it is

:04:00. > :04:04.all very well to be flash, but you are there to win the tournament.

:04:04. > :04:09.Sometimes, you are in between, whether you want to impress the

:04:09. > :04:12.crowd or when the match. You have got to get the balance. We do not

:04:12. > :04:19.have Ronnie O'Sullivan and Jimmy White. Is Judd Trump trying to live

:04:19. > :04:23.up to that people's champion? He is a crowd favourite. He wants it,

:04:23. > :04:27.there is no doubt about that. He is as good a potter as those two, but

:04:27. > :04:34.he does not have the finesse that those guys had. The potential is

:04:34. > :04:41.there. He is a crowd favourite. You have played Jimmy White and or

:04:41. > :04:46.syllable in Wembley. How difficult is it for an appalling to Pele --

:04:46. > :04:51.an appalling to play someone with such a fan base? And Barry has got

:04:51. > :04:54.to concentrate on his game today. There are going to be times when

:04:54. > :05:03.Judd Trump is going to be playing/Shops, trying to get the

:05:03. > :05:10.crowd going. -- playing fancy shots. As long as Murray realises it is

:05:10. > :05:20.not about him he will be in with a chance.

:05:20. > :05:22.

:05:22. > :05:27.If it was me and I had to wait until my 30s before I won a ranking

:05:27. > :05:36.event and we have lost faith. must admit, I did not put him down

:05:36. > :05:46.as a tournament winner. Not at all. He has got the talent. You can see

:05:46. > :05:48.

:05:48. > :05:52.him getting two quarters and Cemaes and he never made the next step.

:05:53. > :05:57.know it sounds stupid, the sky should out? And I know it is one

:05:57. > :06:03.frame but it is the final, the atmosphere. It is the pressure of

:06:03. > :06:12.getting a trophy. So many good players, you have got to get the

:06:12. > :06:16.belief from somewhere. All of a sudden, it clicks. Why is that?

:06:16. > :06:21.think the tournament that he won in Australia, he came straight from

:06:21. > :06:26.Thailand and China, he has a constant stream of tournament so

:06:26. > :06:32.you get your game together. Do you think that suits Barry Hawkins now?

:06:32. > :06:36.I think it's it's a lot of players. I did not expect him to win

:06:36. > :06:40.tournaments. I try not to criticise players but there are those in the

:06:40. > :06:45.past who did not get there in the end, Mike Bingham and Barry Hawkins,

:06:46. > :06:49.and now they are multiple winners. He still goes around a table. You

:06:49. > :06:54.would not know from his facial features if he was winning or

:06:54. > :06:58.losing. He does not appear to have the killer instinct. You needed to

:06:58. > :07:03.win tournaments. One of those players who does everything to a

:07:03. > :07:11.high standard. You would not watch him like O'Sullivan, in case he

:07:11. > :07:18.does something out of the ordinary, but he is a very solid player.

:07:18. > :07:26.for? It is hard. Maybe a bit much, but top 16, I think.

:07:26. > :07:33.Judd Trump is only 23 and owner of 23 tidings. Barry Hawkins is his

:07:33. > :07:38.poorer opposite. He is quiet, no- nonsense, 33. After seven years in

:07:38. > :07:42.the game, he last won a major title in Australia earlier in the season.

:07:42. > :07:52.He is a hard-nosed player. The bookies make trumpet favoured for

:07:52. > :07:56.the title. Barry Hawkins is 66-1 to land at rugby. How did the

:07:56. > :08:01.spectators the it? We have some interested spectators.

:08:01. > :08:07.First time at a snooker tournament? That is right. It is my birthday

:08:07. > :08:14.treat. What are you looking forward to. So Ian Judd Trump at his best

:08:14. > :08:17.and hopefully, he will make the place alive. Yeah or a traitor,

:08:17. > :08:26.because you live near Barry Hawkins? Yes, the next village

:08:26. > :08:31.across. Barry Hawkins, I am half and half. You reckon that Judd

:08:31. > :08:36.Trump has cottager her step? little bit. I think he saw me on

:08:36. > :08:42.Twitter and he likes my style. I was chatting to him on there.

:08:42. > :08:50.do you expect from the game today? I think Judd trouble when, but I

:08:50. > :08:56.would like to see a 147. -- I think Judd Trump will win.

:08:56. > :08:59.Live snooker is fantastic. Let's get the players out.

:08:59. > :09:03.Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the third day of

:09:03. > :09:09.the Betfair Masters. This is one of the most eagerly anticipated match

:09:09. > :09:18.is of the tournament so far. It should be very warm in here this

:09:18. > :09:23.afternoon indeed. Please welcome our man who has been in a form of

:09:23. > :09:26.his life over the last 12 months. He won at Blackpool last year, the

:09:26. > :09:36.Australian Open champion this season, making his third appearance

:09:36. > :09:59.

:09:59. > :10:04.at the Masters, Barry Hawkins! A great reception, as always. You

:10:04. > :10:12.have been on the snooker circuit for quite a while. Great to see you

:10:12. > :10:18.in 16. It has been a struggle. I am back in the 16. It has been added

:10:18. > :10:28.you so far. I want to try and keep it going. Ladies and gentlemen,

:10:28. > :10:29.

:10:29. > :10:34.Barry Hawkins! And now, please welcome the most

:10:34. > :10:39.exciting young player in the modern game. Winner of three ranking event

:10:39. > :10:49.titles including this season's International Championship. Here he

:10:49. > :11:19.

:11:19. > :11:26.is, with his own brand of naughty We heard you spend your Christmas

:11:26. > :11:31.bonus on your shoes. Is it a lucky omen? Hopefully. What an

:11:31. > :11:40.opportunity for you. You have not competed here for -- too many times.

:11:40. > :11:44.A great chance this year. Every time you go to a BBC event you want

:11:44. > :11:50.to win. Hopefully I can come back strong this month. Ladies and

:11:50. > :11:57.gentlemen, Judd Trump! Let's hope he does not accidentally kick

:11:57. > :12:07.anybody. He always looks sharp. Only to Aprevious matches between

:12:07. > :12:14.

:12:14. > :12:23.these two and both times, Judd There is always a buzz of

:12:23. > :12:32.expectancy when Judd Trump enters We did not expect those shoes, but

:12:32. > :12:35.they look quite nice. Yes, exciting talent. Always great to watch, even

:12:35. > :12:39.as a snooker player. He is one of those players a bit like Ronnie

:12:39. > :12:49.O'Sullivan and Jimmy White, but you would pay to watch. You never know

:12:49. > :12:49.

:12:49. > :13:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:13:54. > :13:59.It just shows the speed of the This is slipping a bit low, and he

:13:59. > :14:09.will leave one on. It is when it comes off that cushion, it slides

:14:09. > :14:09.

:14:09. > :15:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:15:07. > :15:15.Is there than opportunity for Judd It will be interesting to see how

:15:15. > :15:22.he goes about it today. The last time he played in the BBC before

:15:22. > :15:32.Christmas, Abi UK Championship, a - - add the UK Championship, he came

:15:32. > :15:55.

:15:55. > :16:05.a cropper and got Mark Bright in I do not think the red Ed will go

:16:05. > :16:20.

:16:20. > :16:30.He is not certain whether cue ball is going to finish. At the moment

:16:30. > :16:47.

:16:47. > :16:57.there is only one loose rate to go He will be disappointed he did not

:16:57. > :17:33.

:17:33. > :17:43.make more from that visit. He cut He will definitely be putting reds

:17:43. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:54.interplay with the safety shot. He That was a surprise. I am sure this

:17:54. > :18:04.red will go, the one to the right of the pack. If not, there is one

:18:04. > :18:38.

:18:38. > :18:47.into the bottom left-hand corner He has not got a good angle on the

:18:47. > :18:54.blue to try to bring anything into play. Is there a red that will Pot

:18:54. > :19:04.Mac? -- pot? Looks like there is a red that will go into the left-hand

:19:04. > :19:19.

:19:19. > :19:29.He wanted to be lower and straighter on the yellow to go

:19:29. > :19:54.

:19:54. > :20:04.I did not expect him to try and get on the blue that way! I expected

:20:04. > :20:16.

:20:16. > :20:26.Barry Hawkins has his first chance. He has a nice angle on the blue. No

:20:26. > :20:50.

:20:50. > :21:00.reason he should not played a This will depend on how much he can

:21:00. > :21:09.

:21:09. > :21:13.do with the cue ball. He will That is the problem with playing

:21:13. > :21:23.for the blue, if you get the wrong angle you cannot get on the next

:21:23. > :22:02.

:22:02. > :22:08.I am not sure whether those two reds that are close together,

:22:08. > :22:18.whether at the bottom one will pot. He will have to negotiate their men

:22:18. > :22:31.

:22:32. > :22:41.He is playing for the Louis red. -- loose red. Is he far enough down

:22:42. > :22:50.

:22:50. > :23:00.That tells us that the bottom red does not pot otherwise he would

:23:00. > :23:12.

:23:12. > :23:22.have taken it. There is some work That was an excellent shot. He

:23:22. > :23:25.played that very well. You would have wanted the cue ball to stop

:23:25. > :23:30.against the cushions. There is not an angle where he can get their cue

:23:30. > :23:36.ball away from the cushion. Just looking to see if he can put the

:23:36. > :23:40.red in. It will leave him with a difficult black. Whether he can

:23:40. > :23:46.leave an angle on the black to carry him into the two reds, at the

:23:46. > :23:56.moment it looks and available. Can he get the cue ball that far away

:23:56. > :24:07.

:24:07. > :24:13.from the cushion? Looks like he And that is why he elected to go

:24:13. > :24:21.for the blue, but he is not far enough. He will have to settle for

:24:21. > :24:28.a good safety here. He is right back in the frame. If he puts the

:24:28. > :24:35.balloon, he will be 15 points behind. -- if he puts the blue in.

:24:36. > :24:45.He might try and get as you go, not a bad option either. -- get that

:24:46. > :24:57.

:24:57. > :25:07.Good choice of snot -- shot. There may be 80 in age but that is not

:25:07. > :25:10.

:25:10. > :25:20.good enough for Judd Trump. -- a He could not have played that

:25:20. > :25:26.

:25:26. > :25:36.better. He has got a perfect connection,

:25:36. > :26:09.

:26:09. > :26:15.There is a chance now for Judd He will have been disappointed to

:26:15. > :26:25.miss that chance, but he will have got second prize. You will have to

:26:25. > :26:25.

:26:25. > :27:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:27:37. > :27:47.play a good shot to leave base safe. He has been fortunate but that

:27:47. > :27:58.

:27:58. > :28:08.safety shot, snooker on the pink. That is incredible. He was trying

:28:08. > :28:13.

:28:13. > :28:23.to put the red in DSCF position, but... -- into as safe position.

:28:23. > :28:33.That was a basic error. I do not think Hawkins can disturb the red

:28:33. > :28:53.

:28:53. > :29:03.He has got to be careful he does not run into the blue and lead --

:29:03. > :29:26.

:29:26. > :29:36.And one of those, you were playing it very thin, but you think you

:29:36. > :29:42.

:29:42. > :29:52.cannot miss it. He may have left a free ball. Terry Camilleri checking

:29:52. > :30:31.

:30:31. > :30:35.He is saying free ball. Possibly Pink counts as a red, so, to follow.

:30:35. > :30:40.This red was always going to be difficult. He's got a nice angle

:30:40. > :30:50.but we all know with this type of shot, the more pace on it, the more

:30:50. > :31:22.

:31:23. > :31:29.Nicely put away. The problem is at Now this could be the key shot for

:31:29. > :31:34.the frame. Can he somehow good position on the green? -- get

:31:34. > :31:44.position. If you can get the cue ball somewhere in that vicinity, he

:31:44. > :31:50.

:31:50. > :32:00.It looks as if it has too much pace. He overran it. It is running

:32:00. > :32:02.

:32:02. > :32:12.absolutely beautifully but very It looks a straightforward snooker

:32:12. > :32:18.

:32:18. > :32:28.to play but obviously the screen He goes back to his seat with a

:32:28. > :32:34.

:32:34. > :32:38.If he tries to come off the top cushion and side cushion, I get the

:32:38. > :32:48.feeling the middle pocket might be in the way. Coming off one cushion,

:32:48. > :32:58.

:32:58. > :33:08.the pink comes into play. This He's got to tried to miss the

:33:08. > :33:20.

:33:20. > :33:27.middle pocket on the way down. -- That was close. Is it going to be a

:33:27. > :33:34.free ball? He has left a free ball. There is no real advantage because

:33:35. > :33:44.he cannot pot the black. I am sure he will be putting them back into

:33:45. > :33:48.

:33:48. > :33:58.its original position. He is 14 Judd Trump has given 21 points away

:33:58. > :34:19.

:34:19. > :34:28.in fowls. It is beginning to show It is just a little bit further

:34:28. > :34:38.over than it was. Still, the green. He got it. It needs to travel and

:34:38. > :34:45.

:34:45. > :34:55.it is not going to go in but is it He needed the green and now he

:34:55. > :34:56.

:34:56. > :35:06.needs the brown. It is not easy on this brown. It would put him 21

:35:06. > :36:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:36:09. > :36:19.Not a bad finish, either. So, Judd Where the ball is, particularly the

:36:19. > :36:32.

:36:32. > :36:42.black, not a bad position for If you can't get the snooker, make

:36:42. > :36:46.

:39:15. > :39:23.In it goes. The first frame will go So, Barry Hawkins, the underdog,

:39:23. > :39:27.takes the first frame and Leeds 1-0. We have got Stephen and jump in the

:39:27. > :39:31.studio today. None of us were concerned about the fact that there

:39:31. > :39:37.is no way Barry Hawkins will be a pushover for anybody. Absolutely

:39:37. > :39:44.not. Tactically, he is probably more sound than Judd Trump is. If

:39:44. > :39:49.he gets in and he scores heavily, I fancy Barry Hawkins to be better

:39:50. > :39:56.tactically. What about the way the match has gone? Judd Trump got an

:39:56. > :40:02.early, Mader good break, but then made poor choices of shots. He took

:40:02. > :40:10.a cut back pink which didn't look on. He played a red into the centre,

:40:10. > :40:14.tried to screw the cue-ball into position. A series of careless

:40:14. > :40:21.shots and, as John said, the tactical side of it, I fancied

:40:21. > :40:25.Barry. Some of those watching this, Barry Hawkins last appeared here

:40:25. > :40:29.five years ago. But he seems to have settled quickly. He is

:40:29. > :40:34.experienced. He has beaten most of the big players but he has not been

:40:34. > :40:41.as consistent. He is capable of beating anybody. He has settled

:40:41. > :40:47.down. I think he is a serious opponent for Judd today. And the

:40:47. > :40:54.issues? Well, we have had a bit of a chat about the issues. Rosa From

:40:54. > :41:03.Russia With Love spring to mind. Joe Johnson multi-coloured shoes.

:41:03. > :41:13.Ken Doherty spats. You're not the only one with fancy footwear.

:41:13. > :41:13.

:41:13. > :41:23.I wouldn't like to get a kick off They are very snazzy. Did you have

:41:23. > :41:28.

:41:28. > :41:33.a pair like that, John? With the I always get the feeling, just

:41:33. > :41:38.carrying on from the conversation in the studio, with Judd Trump and,

:41:38. > :41:43.you obviously still playing, Ken, he is the type of player you always

:41:43. > :41:48.think you are going to get chances against. Heat is an open and

:41:48. > :41:53.attacking player. But it just depends, as John and Stephen said,

:41:53. > :41:59.it depends on the scoring ability but if it comes to the crunch,

:42:00. > :42:04.Barry is as accomplished as any. Especially in the tactical part of

:42:04. > :42:07.the game. He showed that in the first frame. You always feel you

:42:07. > :42:17.will get some chances against Judd Trump and you have to make the most

:42:17. > :42:17.

:44:55. > :44:59.The reason it was dangerous is it was always going to go to the baulk

:07:36. > :07:46.It will be interesting to see, does he just chipped the black to the

:09:02. > :09:03.

:09:03. > :09:11.unlucky. How he has gone off this... I had a chat and said, he could not

:09:11. > :09:15.go end of that. That has got to be millimetre perfect to go in.

:09:15. > :09:21.looked as though Barry Hawkins was in position, but the final shot was

:09:21. > :09:25.his undoing? He was unfortunate. He potted a great brown, got an angle

:09:25. > :09:30.on the blue where it was impossible to get on the peg for the black,

:09:30. > :09:36.and it obviously meant that he could be cue ball a bit too thick.

:09:36. > :09:39.It was not easy by any stretch, that black. Engrossing so far,

:09:39. > :09:44.extremely watchable. We talked about Barry Hawkins potentially

:09:44. > :09:50.being nervous after a long time away from this event. The last big

:09:50. > :09:55.event we saw Judd Trump in was the one we talked about. I was doing

:09:56. > :10:01.some Reading, we heard afterwards that Judd Trump said, that defeat

:10:01. > :10:06.really hurt me, but I needed it to shake me up. Agreed? I could not

:10:06. > :10:10.agree more. You learn more by a defeat you shouldn't have than by

:10:10. > :10:16.winning. If you are going along on the crest of a wave, something like

:10:16. > :10:21.that can do you a lot of good. We saw Rory McIlroy losing the Masters

:10:21. > :10:24.that time as well. You need to appreciate its are you do not do it

:10:24. > :10:30.again. Watching someone else lifting that trophy knowing that

:10:30. > :10:33.you could have done it, best thing sometimes. We heard about how it

:10:33. > :10:39.just might have taken some liberties in that match, but at the

:10:39. > :10:46.same time, there was something about concentration. Do you think

:10:46. > :10:50.he is on the money when it comes to focus? He wants to be their main

:10:50. > :10:56.man. He wants to be the one to beat. These are the events that he wants

:10:56. > :11:00.to win. It would have hurt him a lot to use the UK. This is second

:11:00. > :11:05.to the World Championship. He would want to win against one of the top

:11:05. > :11:09.16 in the world. We have seen flashes of the kind of snooker that

:11:09. > :11:14.he likes to play, particularly with the yellow in a last frame, but so

:11:14. > :11:20.far it has been cautious, quiet and composed from both of them. I also

:11:20. > :11:30.think he is playing with attention to safety. It shows he is giving

:11:30. > :11:35.

:11:35. > :11:40.We have been playing for 55 minutes and it is one frame a piece.

:11:40. > :11:50.Not the best break from Barry Hawkins. Not perfect snooker, but

:11:50. > :12:01.

:12:01. > :12:11.very enjoyable. Interesting to That was tremendous. Maybe those

:32:01. > :32:07.Judd will be very happy because he has been scrappy so far. As the

:32:07. > :32:13.guys said, it is probably the right time for him as well. From Barrie's

:32:13. > :32:18.point of view, he got a foothold in the match. 2-1 ahead, and then he

:32:18. > :32:24.does that. He thought it was going to go but that was such a bad shot

:32:24. > :32:28.and he gave him a birthday present. So, 2-2. We've got time to relive

:32:28. > :32:31.some memories but before we do, we have actually had some very

:32:31. > :32:36.interesting tweets from you, so thank you very much for bothering

:32:36. > :32:42.to do that. One of them, very interesting one from Paul Cripps

:32:42. > :32:47.who says, "Would be a good idea to make the Snooker Masters like the

:32:47. > :32:57.Golf Masters and allow previous winners to compete?" I can see a

:32:57. > :33:04.ceremonial break off. Definitely. What do you think? Like it?

:33:04. > :33:08.gives you something to think about. It would be nice. The thing that I

:33:08. > :33:13.didn't like was the qualifying rounds, so to get straight into it.

:33:13. > :33:17.These arenas are fantastic and you never lose the will to play.

:33:17. > :33:25.even if they had a wild card round for the past masters to go through

:33:25. > :33:30.so you have a mini tournament. We might pass the suggestions on. Do

:33:30. > :33:34.you think this is go? Don't ask me! I have been beaten three times.

:33:34. > :33:39.Some of the guys in here have come to see the snooker, they like to

:33:39. > :33:45.see the past masters. It is worth thinking about. It is whether or

:33:45. > :33:50.not you want to get your cue out again. No. Well, thank you for

:33:50. > :33:55.suggesting it. I rather like the idea. Now, we were enjoying

:33:55. > :34:01.yesterday a trip down memory lane, 1998 final between Stephen and Mark

:36:12. > :36:19.

:36:19. > :36:26.My word, that was a good shot. That's it! So, Jimmy White makes it

:38:19. > :38:24.the BBC water glass. On behalf of everyone, thanks very much for one

:38:24. > :38:29.of the greatest sessions of snooker in the history of the game. And it

:38:29. > :38:34.is a night none of us here will ever forget. And, surely, a dark

:38:34. > :38:41.question, but I'll ask you anyway, you can never be involved in a

:38:41. > :38:46.session like that again, could you? He's great. He puts it on you. He

:38:46. > :38:52.pops from anywhere and once he gets in, forget about it. Light a

:38:52. > :39:00.cigarette, sit back and enjoy. Jimmy, you can rarely have played

:39:00. > :39:05.better. I played brilliantly. I was 3-0, then it went through-2. I

:39:05. > :39:11.thought Kirk Stevens, he won them. He has not been snookered like that

:39:11. > :39:20.in a short session before. When did you realise the big one was on?

:39:20. > :39:25.After I potted the last open red. I split them open off the back. I

:39:25. > :39:28.thought I could have made secure the game by playing it deeper.

:39:28. > :39:34.was a great shot. I thought I had to go for it because you don't get

:39:34. > :39:40.a lot of opportunities like that. He wasn't on the black very good.

:39:40. > :39:44.He potted a good back after that. What was the worst shot?

:39:44. > :39:50.toughest shot was the green. Because I couldn't get around off

:39:50. > :39:54.the cushions. So why had to play off one cushion, play it backwards.

:39:54. > :40:04.I didn't come off strongly enough and I had a blinder, if I don't say

:40:04. > :40:05.

:40:05. > :40:10.so myself! Off to cushions or three cushions. 1984 was his year. He

:40:10. > :40:14.became famously known as magic. He lost again to Jimmy White in

:40:14. > :40:23.another epic semi-final at the Crucible. Sadly, he never won the

:40:23. > :40:33.majors. Jimmy White went on to win his only Masters title later and a

:40:33. > :40:34.

:40:34. > :40:39.One of the great games, one of the great interviews as well. Stephen,

:40:39. > :40:44.you have got that on repeat. I used to watch that match all the time.

:40:44. > :40:48.You hear a lot of the players the standard wasn't great, but you

:40:48. > :40:54.watch that and it was phenomenal. The table looked bust. It was very

:40:54. > :41:00.quick. A pal of mine bought it. It is in his house. It is made out of

:41:00. > :41:05.oak and it still lives on. Kirk Stevens, you saw him recently.

:41:05. > :41:10.was great, good to see him. He played with us. He didn't have the

:41:10. > :41:14.white attacks. He has changed a little bit. He may have won -- he

:41:14. > :41:18.may have worn a white waistcoat. He was straight over into the old

:41:18. > :41:24.routine and he loves Jimmy, always had done. Julie comment

:41:24. > :41:28.congratulations to come, on the 27th December, he got engaged to

:41:28. > :41:32.his fiancee Kelly. Congratulations to you both. I am sure your fans

:41:32. > :41:37.will be delighted to hear the good news and we want to see you back

:41:37. > :41:45.here whether it is in the wild-card round or in the real thing. All

:41:45. > :41:51.right, let's get back up-to-date at how this year's competition is

:41:51. > :41:56.running. Neil Robertson came over the line against Ding Junhui and he

:41:56. > :42:01.will now face Mark Allen. Last year's Masters run up Shaun Murphy

:42:01. > :42:07.meets Ricky Walden tonight. John Higgins eventually got on the role

:42:07. > :42:12.to see of Ali Carter yesterday. New UK champion Mark Selby with Stuart

:42:12. > :42:17.Bingham later. Both Masters winners Williams against Stevens, a very

:42:17. > :42:22.late one last night, won by Graeme Dott. At the other end of the draw,

:42:22. > :42:26.we are about to see Judd Trump and Barry Hawkins. In the first of the

:42:26. > :42:31.quarter-finals, that will be on Thursday, Neil Robertson against

:42:31. > :42:35.Mark Allen. Steve Davis very keen this week, very chatterbox mode,

:42:35. > :42:45.his hand was up first when asked who wants to interview Mark Allen

:42:45. > :42:53.

:42:53. > :42:58.So, let's talk about the most embarrassing moment of your

:42:58. > :43:05.professional career. Certainly at the Masters. There's no easy way to

:43:05. > :43:10.ask this question. What happened? think it is the most embarrassing

:43:10. > :43:14.moment of my career and anyone's career. I tried to get the rest of

:43:14. > :43:19.it quick. I thought it was going to hit it. But the rest was going to

:43:20. > :43:24.get stuck under the cushion. It worked to my advantage because I

:43:24. > :43:31.moved every red to the side of the cushion. I don't want that to

:43:31. > :43:35.happen again. If you were a normal human being, so to speak, left-

:43:35. > :43:44.handed as a player and left-handed with the rest, that would have been

:43:44. > :43:51.quite an easy reach. Years, snooker is the only thing I do left-handed.

:43:51. > :44:01.Any other sport, I am right handed. Everything seems to be right-handed

:44:01. > :44:05.apart from the rests. What about rubber-soled shoes? Definitely,

:44:05. > :44:15.platforms and a milk crate. Your earliest memories of the Masters,

:44:15. > :44:17.

:44:17. > :44:22.going back as a young snooker fan? Probably Paul Hunter and his

:44:22. > :44:31.comebacks. They were something else. I think the one against Fergal

:44:31. > :44:37.O'Brien was probably the best one. He was 7-2 behind. And he won 10-9.

:44:37. > :44:41.Those comebacks were incredible. At Sheffield as well. The Masters was

:44:41. > :44:47.something to the hold. If you were trying to sell yourself as a player,

:44:47. > :44:52.sitting in the studio like we do, trying to analyse players,

:44:52. > :44:57.strengths, where is your big strength in the game? My fight. A

:44:57. > :45:03.diffident -- I definitely do not know when I am beat. I have been

:45:03. > :45:07.hanging on, sometimes, in matches. Probably my best attributes. Auteur

:45:07. > :45:12.like about watching you play, I don't know whether you study the

:45:12. > :45:15.technique, working with Griffith Babbitt, the short ball back. Very

:45:15. > :45:23.wrong can -- very little can go wrong and you have very good

:45:23. > :45:27.control. Being short helps. Not so much over distance. But you have

:45:27. > :45:34.got the cue powerful stock it is about the timing. Some days, I

:45:34. > :45:38.don't. It is just consistency in my grip. I only prepared with a couple

:45:38. > :45:43.of fingers and a lot of it comes down to timing. I really need to

:45:43. > :45:46.practise that a lot. Working with Terry, he hasn't changed it a lot,

:45:46. > :45:51.but work -- learning when it is going wrong and changing that is

:45:51. > :45:55.something he has helped me we have. So now you are top 16 and you are

:45:55. > :46:02.in the Masters. Do you like the event? I love it but I don't have

:46:02. > :46:06.the best record in it. I have only won a semi-final in five attempts,

:46:06. > :46:13.so probably not the greatest return. You are centre of attention from

:46:13. > :46:19.the moment you walk out. I like being the centre of attention. I

:46:19. > :46:26.don't mind getting it. Going out there and knowing all the cameras

:46:26. > :46:30.are on you, and people are watching you, it doesn't mean a lot and it

:46:30. > :46:34.is added pressure, but I cope with that pretty well. You take the

:46:34. > :46:39.pressure on in your own way as well because you wouldn't put yourself

:46:39. > :46:44.in positions if you didn't want to be, so you are quite at spoken

:46:44. > :46:49.which is a breath of fresh air. -- outspoken. It is nice to see

:46:49. > :46:54.somebody speak their mind. But that can add its own pressures. It is

:46:54. > :46:59.down to whether or not you can handle it. I don't mind saying what

:46:59. > :47:06.is on my mind. I am confident in my ability, my snooker will do the

:47:06. > :47:09.talking in the long run, but it is important to air my views. A lot of

:47:09. > :47:13.changes have been made recently to the game and not everybody is happy

:47:13. > :47:17.with them so it is up to the players to have a voice.

:47:17. > :47:21.Masters is part of the push to what championships and all eyes on that.

:47:21. > :47:27.The Masters is a great tournament to try to win but Europe against

:47:27. > :47:37.Neil Robertson who is in fine form. He had a good comeback against Ding

:47:37. > :47:37.

:47:37. > :47:42.Junhui, 5-3 down. Neil Robertson showed how good a player and how

:47:42. > :47:47.much bottle he has under pressure for Tina Maze players with attitude,

:47:47. > :47:52.great for the game, but which one will win? We have played each other

:47:52. > :47:56.here for the past two years, and the always have close games and

:47:56. > :48:01.Neil has had the upper hand but I am quietly confident because I'm

:48:01. > :48:08.playing well. I'd definitely fancied doing the job. Have a good

:48:08. > :48:13.day. She has. Always good to hear the view of Mark Annan. He won his

:48:13. > :48:18.first match, he came in and said, and it struck me, he hadn't won on

:48:18. > :48:24.the BBC for 13 months, since the semi-final in 2011 of the UK

:48:24. > :48:27.Championships. Opposite, that was very much on his mind. Do you see a

:48:27. > :48:33.return to that kind of form from what you've seen in the opening

:48:33. > :48:38.match from him a? When he is confident, he is at his best. First

:48:38. > :48:44.round, he was. He was scoring very well. He has to put that behind him.

:48:44. > :48:48.He didn't play very well against Marco, but he's very capable. He

:48:48. > :48:53.has a chance of winning the event, and when he lost to the Judd in the

:48:53. > :48:58.final, he was in fantastic form and he needs to come back to that. The

:48:58. > :49:03.standard he is playing at, he has won one tournament but he is one of

:49:03. > :49:07.the top players. John makes a good point - that final against Judd

:49:07. > :49:14.Trump was magnificent. He made four centuries. It was remarkable and we

:49:14. > :49:21.could see what he was capable of. Years, he is a prolific scorer. He

:49:21. > :49:28.won PTC with three centuries in the finals of heat is a big occasion

:49:28. > :49:33.player. He has had some tremendous results. He will not be frightened

:49:33. > :49:37.of winning this event. frightened of playing Neil

:49:37. > :49:42.Robertson, the third gear on the trot. That will be on Thursday

:49:42. > :49:45.afternoon, live on the BBC. We will be returning to this match shortly.

:49:45. > :49:49.Barry Hawkins is a player that has benefited from the changes in the

:49:49. > :49:53.snooker calendar over the last couple of years, alongside the

:49:53. > :49:57.likes of Stuart Bingham and Mark Davis, he finally made the

:49:57. > :50:07.breakthrough after 17 years as a pro, winning the tournament in

:50:07. > :50:12.

:50:13. > :50:22.Australia last year. Let's give you Very tough. He probably plays all

:50:23. > :50:26.

:50:26. > :50:30.the right shots all the time. He's a very good tactician, very

:50:30. > :50:40.good safety player and when he is on his a game, he scores heavily

:50:40. > :50:48.

:50:48. > :50:54.What you see is what you get. is no fault to his game. He gets

:50:54. > :50:57.stuck in, and he plays a good safety game.

:50:57. > :51:07.Barry is a consistent player. Always around the 20s in the

:51:07. > :51:10.

:51:10. > :51:18.rankings. It is great to see him Pete is a top 16 players. There are

:51:18. > :51:24.too many players to get into the top 16, and he is one of them.

:51:24. > :51:30.HAZEL IRVINE: Barry has given a good account of himself so far.

:51:30. > :51:38.This contest is now the best of seven. The first to get six will

:51:38. > :51:48.get through to the quarter-final. It is back to Ken and John.

:51:48. > :52:13.

:52:13. > :52:18.There's the trophy. Those players It is a difficult choice because if

:52:19. > :52:28.he gets the cue ball back down to baulk, that red with a middle

:52:29. > :52:54.

:52:54. > :52:59.He has to be careful not to kiss on There is always a red that goes

:52:59. > :53:09.over one of the corner pockets when you do that. Barry Hawkins has a

:53:09. > :53:19.

:53:19. > :53:29.He didn't expect a kiss on the black. But it hasn't worked out too

:53:29. > :53:44.

:53:44. > :53:54.bad. It is a difficult pink but... Excellent shot. I am sure the black

:53:54. > :54:19.

:54:19. > :54:29.pots into the bottom right hand One of those situations, being

:57:21. > :57:25.Referee, Terry Camilleri, says touching ball. Makes it easier from

:00:53. > :00:57.to the right-hand corner. That is the difference between that the

:00:57. > :01:07.shot and Bob Barry Hawkins tried to do before. There was not enough

:04:58. > :05:05.did not have enough pace on the cue ball to bring more read into play.

:05:05. > :05:12.Just look at the difference. A few shots later, here is Judd Trump.

:23:56. > :24:01.to the table he did not think he would make a frame-winning

:24:01. > :24:11.clearance. He has potted some great balls, particularly into the middle

:24:11. > :24:11.

:24:11. > :24:21.pocket. This is a magnificent APPLAUSE.

:24:50. > :24:55.That was faultless. We are giving Judd Trump a lot of publicity.

:24:55. > :25:00.Barry Hawkins is here on merit, he is in the top 16 and has one

:25:00. > :25:08.ranking tournaments. It is no shock he can play like that. They have

:25:08. > :25:14.exchanged gifts in all three frames, more or less? Yes, we sold -- we

:25:14. > :25:18.saw the plans. The standards are very high. You do not get prompt

:25:18. > :25:23.into the top 16, you have got to earn the right. He is here because

:25:23. > :25:28.he is very good and he is nobody's fool. Who is the more confident?

:25:28. > :25:35.Judd Trump has been looking good with the big breaks. But they have

:25:35. > :25:45.been good, both of them. The frame after, Barry Hawkins went for a

:25:45. > :25:52.long red. He has not had to work to win a frame. I would say Barry

:25:52. > :25:56.Hawkins is shooting it, for me. you agree? I would see this being

:25:56. > :26:00.pretty hard fought. It will be interesting when it gets near the

:26:00. > :26:06.business then, it may well change. At the moment you could see this

:26:06. > :26:16.match unfolding. That is what the last couple of matches between

:26:16. > :26:17.

:26:17. > :26:23.these two have been like. Five to three against Barry for Judd Trump.

:26:23. > :26:27.It has been close. There are some players and you think, both of them

:26:27. > :26:33.are attacking and big game will be wide open. Barry's style, if you

:26:33. > :26:38.are going to try and beat someone, make it awkward for them. He is

:26:38. > :26:44.very methodical, scores heavily, he is not going to give it to him. You

:26:44. > :26:48.have got to earn it when you beat him. He is coming up with some

:26:48. > :26:54.cracking single pots as well, it really impressive. He had all of

:26:54. > :27:02.the shots. Now it is the best of five. Judd

:27:02. > :27:09.Trump, he has got to the semi-final. That was last year. He has been on

:27:09. > :27:15.the scene. Both men, it is only their third time at this event.

:27:15. > :27:18.There is pressure on Judd Trump. In the UK, he lost. If he gets beaten

:27:18. > :27:24.in the first round here, this will be sought.

:27:24. > :27:34.I am sure Barry Hawkins thinks that anything is possible. Five more,

:27:34. > :27:47.

:27:47. > :27:51.I think at the moment, Barry Hawkins is probably feeling

:27:51. > :27:57.slightly more comfortable because there is pressure on Judd Trump. He

:27:57. > :28:05.is expected. Yes, he is expected to win this match 2-7 in the

:28:05. > :28:11.bookmakers. He is heavily odds-on favour. Of course, the crowd

:28:11. > :28:19.expected as well. There is added pressure on Judd Trump. But when he

:28:19. > :28:29.comes up with parts like that, what a great shot that was! An excellent

:28:29. > :28:31.

:28:31. > :28:41.If you thought he was feeling the pressure, there is your Ranson. --

:28:41. > :28:45.

:28:45. > :28:55.Has he got the desired cannon on the red? It is close. He may have

:28:55. > :28:58.

:28:58. > :29:08.And the other question, does the black go to the opposite corner? If

:29:08. > :29:09.

:29:09. > :29:19.it does, there is not much to do It obviously does not go into the

:29:19. > :29:26.

:29:26. > :29:36.Decided to go into them again and didn't generate enough pace in the

:29:36. > :29:45.

:29:45. > :29:55.He may just have a red to the left middle. Excellent shot. He may be

:29:55. > :30:19.

:30:19. > :30:29.He has played a couple of really Have a look at his opening road.

:30:29. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :30:52.A bit surprising because he could Decided to take on the loose red.

:30:52. > :30:56.He expected a kiss on the second red. That is why he was up so

:30:56. > :31:02.quickly because he was surprised. He has left himself straight on the

:31:02. > :31:12.back. He was expecting to rub off that red which would have given him

:31:12. > :31:37.

:31:37. > :31:45.He did look at this plant. There is quite a bit of distance between

:31:45. > :31:51.these two reds which makes it more To play that plant as well, you

:31:51. > :31:56.want to be dead straight behind it. You do and you can see from the

:31:56. > :32:03.shake of the head he is unhappy to have left himself in this position.

:32:03. > :32:07.It looks simple but the gap between the reds causes the problem. Well,

:32:08. > :32:17.there have been a couple of frames that have been decided by Miss

:32:18. > :32:23.

:32:23. > :32:28.He has decided to play this one but I thought for a moment he was going

:32:28. > :32:37.to be on the pink but a red has blocked the path to the Right

:32:37. > :32:47.Centre. Even Judd Trump went even tried to keep this break going, not

:32:47. > :32:54.

:32:54. > :33:01.from here. That was unlucky. Good He is looking at the green but it

:33:01. > :33:11.is fraught with danger, should he miss it. Maybe he should knock you

:33:11. > :33:30.

:33:30. > :33:40.That's not bad. Looks like he has blocked the path for the red in the

:33:40. > :34:18.

:34:18. > :34:25.corner bottom pocket. He is even That is pretty good. OK, he is not

:34:25. > :34:35.near the baulk cushion, but he was in a spot of bother. And he has

:34:35. > :34:53.

:34:53. > :35:03.escaped, somewhat. Sometimes, that He took the other red. As long as

:35:03. > :35:10.

:35:10. > :35:20.he avoided those two roads close to the right middle. -- those two or

:35:20. > :35:31.

:35:31. > :35:40.You mentioned those two reds in the right middle, they are causing Judd

:35:40. > :35:45.concern. The red on the left-hand side of the table, problem early on

:35:45. > :35:49.last season, he would have taken it on, so he is giving a little bit of

:35:49. > :35:54.thought, not taking too many liberties. He wants to play a good

:35:54. > :36:04.safety. Sometimes, if it is not a good safety, you've got to play the

:36:04. > :36:08.

:36:08. > :36:14.I don't blame him for that. If you haven't got a good safety, you are

:36:15. > :36:20.more or less forced into it. But he has missed it. And he has left want

:36:20. > :36:24.one. He has left one on but also that red one came across and

:36:24. > :36:34.brought the back into play that was tied up. That will help Barry

:36:39. > :36:49.That was an excellent pot. That black is in play. It gives Barry

:42:38. > :42:42.Trump is his long potting and he is down at the moment at 38%. This is

:42:42. > :42:47.one of the reasons, although as you have mentioned, editor bit unlucky

:42:48. > :42:52.when he played this red because the back is tied up, and he brought it

:42:52. > :42:59.into play. The interesting thing, he has got lots of cute power but

:42:59. > :43:02.have a look at the cue ball. He has a 41 point lead. We have seen in

:43:02. > :43:08.this match so far he hasn't actually used his cue power to the

:43:08. > :43:12.full extent because he is not getting the ball back to baulk. If

:43:12. > :43:16.it was back to baulk, Barry has not going to get in as easy as he did

:43:17. > :43:20.because he could easily get his hand on the table with a

:43:20. > :43:28.straightforward red. Judd Trump didn't get the cue-ball back to the

:43:28. > :43:33.baulk area. And we have seen a few evidences of that. He could have

:43:33. > :43:43.pitched his bets and got the cue ball a lot further down than he did.

:45:36. > :45:46.

:59:42. > :59:47.Studio everything about Hawkins is calm and composed. He has won the

:59:51. > :59:57.the way he has been doing his break-building. Keeping its

:59:58. > :00:02.simplistic. If there rock pinks on the table and it is in the open,

:00:42. > :00:44.

:00:44. > :00:47.He needs the momentum. As it stands, he has been outplayed. I It's I

:14:18. > :14:23.Let's show you that black Stephen was talking about. Perfectly on the

:14:36. > :14:42.Barry missed that shot by away and was lucky not to leave it in the

:15:36. > :15:44.tied up. Looks like he can get very It is not too bad. He is definitely

:16:53. > :16:58.The screw back is less risk. But he has screwed it back to far, his

:18:10. > :18:24.

:18:25. > :18:29.Perhaps a little straighter on the blue than he would have liked. He

:18:29. > :18:35.would want to bring the pink and black into play. A few loose reds

:18:35. > :18:39.to play for, but if he could bring the pink and black into play, this

:18:54. > :18:58.Yes, wanted a much better angle on the blue to play for the loose red.

:19:40. > :19:47.the pink. He has to hit it with a bit of place. -- pace. That is very

:19:47. > :19:54.unlucky. He played it with pace. That is incredible that he is not

:19:54. > :20:04.on a red from that position. It is amazing, isn't it? They hardly

:20:04. > :20:05.

:20:05. > :20:10.moved! He will be very disappointed. He has a leader 41 points, but he

:20:10. > :20:20.was looking at that to be a frame- winning chance. He will have to

:20:20. > :20:32.

:20:32. > :20:42.show a little bit of patients now. It just looked perfect. Couldn't

:20:42. > :20:49.

:20:49. > :20:56.believe that hardly anything moved. Barry Hawkins trying to get behind

:20:56. > :21:06.this red. He didn't get in behind it. He will be lucky to get away

:21:06. > :21:07.

:21:07. > :21:12.Funny how a game can swing. Barry Hawkins looked like if he would get

:21:12. > :21:19.a chance, he wouldn't miss. He hasn't potted a ball for the last

:21:19. > :21:27.frame and a half. Yeah. He has left this red over the corner pocket,

:21:27. > :21:37.but it is not straightforward. These are pretty tight shots. Well

:21:37. > :21:47.

:21:47. > :21:53.played. He cued it beautifully. We've already seen a great comeback

:21:53. > :22:02.from one of the other favourites in the first round, Neil Robertson,

:22:02. > :22:09.who came back from 5-3 down. just feel sometimes that everything

:22:09. > :22:14.is against you! How did he find that gap? Amazing. He just had to

:22:14. > :22:20.nudge one of the reds and he would have been on one. A gap that didn't

:22:21. > :22:30.look to be there. He can't believe it and neither can I! He had to

:22:31. > :22:36.

:22:36. > :22:41.hang on again and wait for another Well, he had of the thoughts in his

:22:41. > :22:45.mind when he was playing that safety shot. Look where the cue

:22:45. > :22:50.ball has finished. He just gave that shot no concentration

:22:50. > :22:59.whatsoever. He still had in his mind how unlucky he was not to be

:22:59. > :23:08.on anything. Just never hit it with any pace. In fact, he hit the wrong

:23:08. > :23:18.red! Having hit the hot -- having hit the wrong red, lucky to get it

:23:18. > :23:21.

:23:21. > :23:28.This red is on. I'm not sure whether he will go for it, but the

:23:28. > :23:33.red is certainly on. He is going to play safe. That will not help his

:23:33. > :23:43.cause because he has knocked another red safe, but it is a good

:23:43. > :24:12.

:24:12. > :24:16.Pretty good, that was all he could do. If he was going to leave

:24:16. > :24:26.anything for his opponent, make it as difficult as possible and he has

:24:26. > :24:39.

:24:39. > :24:44.Not the best shot from Barry. Not only has he not got the cue

:24:44. > :24:54.ball tight on the cushion, I think he has left this red. A possible

:24:54. > :24:59.

:24:59. > :25:06.cut. He hasn't hit that well at all. The one thing you've got to make

:25:06. > :25:10.sure of, you avoid the kiss on the black and you try to get the cue

:25:10. > :25:17.ball back to the baulk end. He has gifted a chance to Barry Hawkins.

:25:17. > :25:21.It will not be easy. There are a few awkward reds, but you can see

:25:21. > :25:31.the concerned look on Judd Trump's face. A long way away from potting

:25:31. > :25:35.

:25:35. > :25:41.the ball, but important that you Will he get back to the table?

:25:41. > :25:48.would say with the positions of the reds, closest to this right hand

:25:48. > :25:52.cushion, that if he is going to get back to the table... I was going to

:25:52. > :26:02.say he would get back quicker than he thought, I didn't think that was

:26:02. > :26:07.

:26:07. > :26:17.But he will need a good cannon. Look at this red. It just turned

:26:17. > :26:17.

:26:17. > :26:27.slightly. He will need a good shot to get behind the reds and he will

:26:27. > :26:32.

:26:32. > :26:42.have to dislodge the one closest to He could do that with the blue,

:26:42. > :26:52.

:26:52. > :26:55.anywhere on the side cushion with If he could leave the cue ball

:26:55. > :27:05.somewhere there and even dislodged the red near the cue ball I've put

:27:05. > :27:07.

:27:07. > :27:12.on this green... -- on at the TV screen. He decided to take them out.

:27:12. > :27:21.That has worked out a treat. Not as he had planned, but he will

:27:21. > :27:31.certainly take it. Have a look at this again. He hit the red on the

:27:31. > :27:40.

:27:40. > :27:44.way up, knocked the red off the That must have been a kick, surely,

:27:44. > :27:49.because he was a mile away with the pot. Has the black come to his

:27:49. > :27:59.rescue? I think not. I think there's just enough of this red

:27:59. > :28:01.

:28:01. > :28:11.But having said that... If it was easy a thing jarred would be down

:28:11. > :28:12.

:28:12. > :28:19.already. It looks like he can pot Barry was so far away with his pot,

:28:19. > :28:29.you can only assume he got a heavy contact. He was nowhere near it.

:28:29. > :28:33.

:28:34. > :28:43.That is very unlike Barry. We will That was a definite kick. You could

:28:44. > :28:45.

:28:45. > :28:55.It went for ball, almost. Yeah, the distance he has missed it, he

:28:55. > :28:55.

:28:55. > :29:05.almost knocked the black in the He hasn't hit that. That looked

:29:05. > :29:08.

:29:09. > :29:18.But you could see the cue ball bouncing before it got to the green.

:29:19. > :29:38.

:29:38. > :29:41.He didn't hit that as sweet as he I'm surprised he tried to play it

:29:41. > :29:47.like that, I would have been more interested in trying to get near

:29:47. > :29:57.the baulk cushion, but it is his choice. And now, a long red that

:29:57. > :30:02.

:30:02. > :30:06.Barry Hawkins is building self up Good cueing, good pot. Still a big

:30:06. > :30:16.ask to win the frame at this visit, but if he wins the frame, he wins

:30:16. > :30:38.

:30:38. > :30:48.He is on both reds. A choice now. He would like to leave the one

:30:48. > :30:57.

:30:57. > :31:07.closest to the cushion to lost. -- I thought he had missed it. His

:31:07. > :31:12.

:31:12. > :31:19.heart skipped a few beads, that red We saw Judd Trump there in the

:31:19. > :31:22.background, has his race been run? It is now down to Barry Hawkins, he

:31:22. > :31:27.has a difficult shot on the red, he will have to play it with a bit of

:31:27. > :31:37.pace to get back on the colour, but if this goes right, you wouldn't

:31:37. > :31:41.

:31:41. > :31:47.expect him to spurn this And he has played it very well! So

:31:47. > :31:53.it is all about Barry Hawkins keeping himself together now. And

:31:53. > :32:03.Judd Trump will be disappointing the out of the Masters. In the

:32:03. > :32:11.

:32:11. > :32:21.Well, would you believe it! Pressure. No other thing to explain

:32:21. > :32:31.that. Slow across the table, not much of a gap, he is saying it

:32:31. > :32:31.

:32:31. > :33:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:33:16. > :33:23.rolled off, but I have not seen Well, he has complained a play a

:33:23. > :33:33.role of, it is a free ball. So any colour could be taken as a yellow,

:33:33. > :33:38.

:33:38. > :33:45.if he can get on the yellow, frame It is all happening here. This is

:33:45. > :33:51.not over yet. He is not going to be on this yellow. So there is plenty

:33:51. > :34:01.of life left in this match. Judd Trump feels that the ball rolled

:34:01. > :34:08.

:34:08. > :34:18.So both players, feeling that the ball has drifted in the crucial

:34:18. > :34:29.

:34:29. > :34:39.It isn't straightforward, the yellow up the table, because if you

:35:11. > :35:15.

:35:15. > :35:25.Much too thin. Now, the Anita AIT may have his it has gone very

:35:25. > :35:29.

:35:29. > :35:34.straight. -- the only chance he may Had he has played it well. As long

:35:34. > :35:42.as he is not hampered by the black... Is he going to be hampered

:35:42. > :35:50.by the black? I think the sound of him talking he's cued tells you

:35:50. > :35:54.that he is. -- talking his cue. If it had stopped an inch short come

:35:54. > :36:03.he could have got his hand at the table and got to the middle of the

:36:03. > :36:13.cue ball. This is typical now. -- difficult. He has got to drop in,

:36:13. > :36:29.

:36:29. > :36:39.Still needs brown, blue and pink. Tremendous pot on the green, but

:36:39. > :37:08.

:37:08. > :37:18.Well, that was frame and match ball. I know he was overstretching

:37:18. > :37:56.

:37:56. > :38:03.slightly, but you expected him to Excellent shot from Barry Hawkins.

:38:03. > :38:07.He couldn't have played that any better. And I think it there has

:38:07. > :38:13.been a different, that has been hit, the consistency of Barry's safety

:38:13. > :38:22.play. That was a good hit come a couldn't have wished for anything

:38:23. > :38:32.better than that, that is absolutely perfect. What a result.

:38:33. > :38:58.

:38:58. > :39:04.So, opportunity for Judd Trump, it is going to require all his cue

:39:04. > :39:08.power he to get back up for the pink. And if one thing has let him

:39:08. > :39:13.down a little bit it is his long potting, and it will constitute a

:39:13. > :39:18.long pot, he is going to use that pace in the cue ball, as he said.

:39:18. > :39:28.So this is no certainty, but blue and pink needed to take us into a

:39:28. > :39:34.

:39:34. > :39:44.He cued it absolutely be a -- That was a superb shot, look at the

:39:44. > :39:47.

:39:48. > :39:55.Pink to take us into the deciding frame. It is there, we are in for a

:39:56. > :40:00.decider, that is a marvellous He used up a lot of courage. You

:40:00. > :40:09.cannot blame Barry Hawkins, but he had two a frame and match winning

:40:09. > :40:14.chances and spurned them. Will he It has been edge-of-the-seat stuff,

:40:14. > :40:18.we have just managed to get ourselves sat back here. There were

:40:18. > :40:24.so many shocks that we could analyse, we need a separate

:40:24. > :40:28.programme! You would go a long wait to see a better frame of snooker.

:40:28. > :40:35.Barry missed the black over the hole, I thought that Judd would

:40:35. > :40:40.need a bit of help, he has had that. Barry should have one this. He has

:40:40. > :40:44.hit it so well, there is a tendency when you're under pressure, he was

:40:44. > :40:49.making a mess of every shot, Judd, and to get that chance, you can

:40:49. > :40:54.always hit it too hard to me just stroked it, it was a beautiful shot.

:40:54. > :40:57.He has forced the decider, but Barry Hawkins is still sitting out,

:40:57. > :41:06.trying to compose himself, but a slope black into the middle pocket,

:41:06. > :41:12.who could have missed an? Exactly. He potted a great red with the rest,

:41:12. > :41:16.made he got excited and thought he had one the match -- won the match.

:41:16. > :41:20.Then the blue, which is easier, because you are stunning it, and

:41:20. > :41:26.you are more comfortable. It is the first 20 years and cued properly,

:41:26. > :41:31.the blue. Everything else has had a nice backswing. It comes back nice

:41:31. > :41:36.and smooth, it is the first one, it is quick, added is because of the

:41:36. > :41:40.circumstances, we have all been there. Just one good pot, and he

:41:41. > :41:46.has missed it. That frame also showed one of the main differences

:41:46. > :41:50.between these men, and that is the superior safety so far shown by

:41:50. > :41:57.Barry Hawkins. Some of those safety shots were magnificent. In the

:41:57. > :42:01.second half, Barry has looked the most solid in the safety department.

:42:01. > :42:05.Judd was complaining about the table running off, he didn't look

:42:05. > :42:10.comfortable at all in that situation. When he came out of the

:42:10. > :42:14.snooker, Judd, he couldn't have hit that any better, when he hit the

:42:14. > :42:19.blue that ultimately forced the mistake, that was a brilliant frame

:42:19. > :42:24.of snooker. Time to get your head down and start again! Champion's

:42:24. > :42:30.instinct has brought him back from behind and for the third time, we

:42:30. > :42:35.have ourselves a deciding frame. Barry Hawkins, can you take us

:42:35. > :42:39.through the pressure he will be feeling, knowing the has had two

:42:39. > :42:43.chances? It is a horrible feeling, he needs an easy chance quickly, to

:42:43. > :42:48.settle down and let him forget what has happened in the frame before.

:42:48. > :42:52.If he doesn't, Judd is the favourite. Judd looked as if he was

:42:52. > :43:02.going out of the match. There is pressure on him as well. Back to

:43:02. > :43:08.

:43:08. > :43:18.square one. Made a better man win! Just what the audience were looking

:43:18. > :43:35.

:43:35. > :43:40.for. A deciding frame and we have That was a terrible break off by

:43:40. > :43:47.Barry Hawkins come he will be disappointed. The first chance now

:43:47. > :43:56.goes to Judd Trump. He needs the cue ball to travel. Looks just

:43:56. > :44:06.about OK. A couple of reds to go at here. 1 at the bottom of the pack,

:44:06. > :44:10.

:44:10. > :44:15.and one to the extreme right as There is Judd's dad. It is harder

:44:15. > :44:25.watching than playing. At least when you are playing, you have the

:44:25. > :44:27.

:44:27. > :44:31.cue in your hand, when you are He certainly looked at times as if

:44:31. > :44:38.Judd was going to let it slip away. That needs to stop short of the

:44:38. > :44:46.baulk line. Just about OK. potted the red can reduce the angle

:44:46. > :44:56.of the red despite the other reds. -- to split the other red. One good

:44:56. > :44:58.

:44:58. > :45:06.He has got to be precise, and doesn't look like it is it's

:45:06. > :45:16.straight forward to get onto a red. But if he gets on to a red from

:45:16. > :45:23.

:45:23. > :45:33.That was certainly a different way, using a deep screw. He tried to arc

:45:33. > :45:51.

:45:51. > :45:56.I think the black is available. If he can get on a red to play on it.

:45:56. > :46:06.That was a brave shot. At that speed, if he doesn't go in, it will

:46:06. > :46:16.stay in the jaws of the pocket. But If he can get position on the black,

:46:16. > :46:27.

:46:27. > :46:37.Is very possibility of a plant on these reds? -- is there a

:46:37. > :46:38.

:46:38. > :46:42.possibility? Well, they are very The other red, if it had just

:46:42. > :46:46.rolled an 8th of an inch, he would have had a clear run at through to

:46:46. > :46:51.that red to the right hand corner, but that two reds above the black

:46:51. > :46:59.look as though they could be a plant. This looks like a plant, but

:46:59. > :47:03.a bit more difficult. Wasn't as easy as it looked, there was a gap

:47:03. > :47:13.between the two reds, but he played it confidently and played it as

:47:13. > :47:23.He wants to win frame and match at this visit if you possibly can, as

:47:23. > :47:31.

:47:31. > :47:36.we come to the Three hour mark. And The pink spot is covered, so the

:47:36. > :47:41.pink goes on the black spot. Just thinking what will be going through

:47:41. > :47:48.Barry's mind, break off and leave your opportunity with a part,

:47:48. > :47:58.schoolboy error, we can call it. But dear me committee only have one

:47:58. > :48:01.

:48:01. > :48:09.shot, and this was it. Very short He may not get another shot in this

:48:09. > :48:19.match. That will certainly disappoint him. He missed the black

:48:19. > :48:32.

:48:32. > :48:42.over the left centre to get onto The black should still be available

:48:42. > :48:44.

:48:44. > :48:50.into both corner pockets, as long But you have got to be impressed

:48:50. > :48:55.with a Judd Trump here. He was 5-3 down, it looked for all the money

:48:56. > :49:01.as if he was going to go out. He replied with a marvellous 105 to

:49:01. > :49:11.win frame nine. And the last frame could have gone either way. But the

:49:11. > :49:15.

:49:15. > :49:25.shot on the blue, considering the We see from that shot, a couple of

:49:25. > :49:27.

:49:27. > :49:36.reds will pot into this bottom Already built up a 42 point League

:49:36. > :49:46.now, so it slightly -- slowly getting to the stage where Barry

:49:46. > :49:49.

:49:49. > :49:59.Hawkins will needs snookers. But Still 83 remaining, we are looking

:49:59. > :50:30.

:50:30. > :50:40.He can drop this red in and get on to the black that will pot, as you

:50:40. > :50:46.

:50:46. > :50:52.There is a choice of reds come he can take this one with the rest.

:50:52. > :51:00.think he will be beyond the one on the left-hand corner, he does not

:51:00. > :51:08.feel he can pot that, he might affect the position on the black.

:51:08. > :51:11.It is a clear run through. Or a clear path to go back for the blue.

:51:11. > :51:17.I would say played for the black, but it makes the red a little more

:51:17. > :51:27.difficult. You have got to finish higher on the black. If you finish

:51:27. > :51:33.

:51:33. > :51:39.low can we possibly can't get to Well, he thinks he can get to the

:51:39. > :51:46.black this way. He's going to have to pot it and leave himself a not

:51:46. > :51:49.to be easy ride for the frame and match. Barry come he breaks off,

:51:49. > :51:59.goes back to his seat, doesn't look as if he's going to come out of it

:51:59. > :52:18.

:52:18. > :52:28.with a chance. How I game can turn This red into the right centre will

:52:28. > :52:32.

:52:33. > :52:42.put him into the quarter-finals, It is there. And there you see the

:52:43. > :52:49.

:52:49. > :52:54.reaction from Judd Trump, it tells Yes, it is a performance he should

:52:54. > :52:59.be proud of, it is not as if he has been given this, he has had to

:52:59. > :53:05.produce. Barry Hawkins had two a frame and match winning chances,

:53:05. > :53:10.but prior to that, Barry Hawkins had played some superb snooker. He

:53:10. > :53:20.takes two to make a great match and Barry Hawkins just fell short, but

:53:20. > :53:40.

:53:40. > :53:46.Judd Trump had to step up to the How nice it would be to finish with

:53:46. > :53:52.a century. Already had a couple of centuries in this match, this would

:53:52. > :54:02.be a fantastic finish, but hats off to Judd Trump. He has responded

:54:02. > :54:06.

:54:06. > :54:10.I will just go back to the vagaries of this game, Barry Hawkins breaks

:54:10. > :54:20.of, he didn't find the baulk cushion, left one red on, and he

:54:20. > :54:20.

:54:20. > :54:25.has just had to sit there and He had a chance to knock the

:54:25. > :54:31.favourite for the tournament out, but every credit to Judd Trump,

:54:31. > :54:36.this one of the best comebacks I have seen him make. When it comes

:54:36. > :54:46.to the nitty-gritty, having to fight your way back into a match,

:54:46. > :54:51.

:54:51. > :55:01.A little bit of an exhibition shot, but it doesn't matter, he will be a

:55:01. > :55:06.

:55:06. > :55:15.That was a tremendous break of 107. Nothing to be ashamed of for Barry

:55:15. > :55:25.Hawkins, by Judd Trump, absolutely The favourite is eventually through

:55:25. > :55:27.

:55:27. > :55:32.And he sure did it the hard way, by Judd Trump, the world number two,

:55:32. > :55:42.is through. Your assessment of the way he did that, two took centuries

:55:42. > :55:43.

:55:43. > :55:48.in the last frames? The performance of a champion. Absolutely top-class.

:55:48. > :55:53.He positioned four or five shots to get onto the blue, everyone was

:55:53. > :55:56.perfect, an outstanding performance. Barry Hawkins's phone will be off

:55:57. > :56:01.the hook for a while. He will not want to watch this tournament for

:56:01. > :56:05.the rest of the week, that blue will haunt him for a long time. But

:56:05. > :56:11.what a performance by Judd Trump. Those are the things you have got

:56:11. > :56:16.to do if you're the top player, you have to keep producing. You have to

:56:16. > :56:22.keep being that step better. just to illustrate how pressure, at

:56:22. > :56:25.the back end of the match, can affect both of the players's Psyche

:56:25. > :56:30.and they're thinking. It is the product of a champion that comes

:56:30. > :56:37.through, the mind of AA champion. He must have been saying, I am out

:56:37. > :56:47.of this tournament. But he got a chance, and boy, did he take it.

:56:47. > :56:50.Judd, come in! Congratulations! You must have thought you were out.

:56:50. > :56:55.I didn't see the angle he had on the first black when he was playing

:56:55. > :57:00.for the yellow, it looked a duty from where I was, and the second

:57:00. > :57:06.one, I never thought he was going to miss. He seemed to knock in all

:57:06. > :57:15.his fifty-fifty shot today. It was a superb comeback, how do you turn

:57:15. > :57:17.it around? But no. Not a clue. My safety wasn't good, I kept breaking

:57:17. > :57:26.down, some things were not happening today, I think it was a

:57:26. > :57:31.bit of punishment for losing in the UK. I'm glad to get through. But it

:57:31. > :57:36.is only the first round. It is nice to prove to yourself, to be able to

:57:36. > :57:46.do it in one visit in the final frame. You mentioned the UK, how

:57:46. > :57:46.

:57:46. > :57:51.bad was that for you? It it was bad! I'm not going to lie. But same

:57:51. > :57:56.again, maybe I went into confident. I have had a pretty good season so

:57:56. > :57:59.far, and whether you play here, it is going to be a tough game. Barry

:57:59. > :58:04.played pretty well, hopefully that will stand me in good stead for the

:58:04. > :58:08.rest of the tournament. You talk about been shaken up a bit by that

:58:08. > :58:13.defeat just before Christmas in the UK Championship, did you learn much

:58:13. > :58:17.from it, did you have to change a few things in your thinking?

:58:17. > :58:22.really. I just need to play the table rather than going out and

:58:22. > :58:26.playing the player. A couple of things I did wrong that I don't

:58:26. > :58:31.normally do, at the interval I normally sit in my dressing room.

:58:31. > :58:37.In that my went and started chatting in the practice room.

:58:37. > :58:42.Maybe I will learn from that, not to do that again. Just a couple of

:58:42. > :58:45.careless shots, really. A bit of over-confidence. It is a great

:58:45. > :58:55.championship and I know you're the tournament favourite coming in here,

:58:55. > :58:56.

:58:56. > :59:01.that in itself is a big pressure. I don't see myself as the favourite.

:59:01. > :59:05.I always see John Higgins as the favourite. I have still only won

:59:05. > :59:10.three tournaments. People get a little bit carried away and other

:59:10. > :59:13.people and knock down what I've done. I'm still young, I've won

:59:13. > :59:17.three tournaments already. I go into every tournament with

:59:17. > :59:22.confidence, but I've still got a lot to learn and I am still

:59:22. > :59:29.learning. You're into the quarter- finals and you are wearing for most

:59:29. > :59:34.natty pair of shoes! Co you took them off? I have to because I was

:59:34. > :59:41.sliding around the table. I was moving forwards on shot. Make sure

:59:41. > :59:48.you scrape the bottoms before you wear them! It was a very bold

:59:48. > :59:52.statement. So many things we could talk to you about now that we've

:59:52. > :59:57.got you and one of the big issues that is exercising everybody is the

:59:57. > :00:03.plan for the new want to wait flat draw. You've had all this time to

:00:03. > :00:12.get to world number two. Now you're in the first round again, what do

:00:12. > :00:18.you think of it? La Thet(!). -- Laursen it. I don't know enough

:00:18. > :00:25.about it. I don't know if everybody will go to the venue, fair enough.

:00:26. > :00:31.If everybody is here, actual venues, but if you start qualifying again

:00:31. > :00:35.in cubicles, anybody can beat anybody. Everybody knows Barry is a

:00:35. > :00:41.great player, but getting over the line is so difficult on TV in front

:00:41. > :00:47.of thousands of people. That is for next season. Let's talk about the

:00:47. > :00:51.rest of the week. Your love for this tournament, it is one of the

:00:51. > :00:55.biggest ones and you are through to the quarter-finals. A semi-finalist

:00:55. > :01:01.last year. How much do you enjoy the atmosphere this place

:01:01. > :01:06.generates? This is my favourite venue, definitely. I thrive off the

:01:06. > :01:11.kind of atmosphere, people calling out,. But when I played in the

:01:12. > :01:15.world final in 2011, that was the same, calling out. Coalite for

:01:15. > :01:20.crowd getting involved rather than sitting in silence. There's always

:01:20. > :01:25.a good crowd here. Hopefully the crowd will get better during the

:01:25. > :01:31.week. There were some good breaks today so I think the crowd enjoyed

:01:31. > :01:37.it. Very, very well played, a tremendous a performance. Two

:01:37. > :01:42.centuries in the last three frames. Thank you. See you in the quarter-

:01:42. > :01:46.final on Friday. Let's remind everybody who you will play. Last

:01:46. > :01:50.year it -- last night was one for the night owls as former world

:01:50. > :02:00.champion Graeme Dott played fellow Scot Stephen Maguire. Let's remind

:02:00. > :02:03.

:02:03. > :02:07.When Stephen Maguire burst on the scene, it looked like he would be

:02:07. > :02:12.one of the dominant forces in the game, but then into wet wrong and

:02:12. > :02:16.it has taken a while for him to come back to some form. It is a

:02:16. > :02:21.slow process to get back, but he seems to be winning the battle.

:02:21. > :02:24.don't think it was ever in doubt he would drop out of the 16 or go down

:02:24. > :02:31.to that extent. There was a time when maybe he lost his dedication a

:02:31. > :02:35.bit. When you start snooker really young, there's a danger when you

:02:35. > :02:41.might get bored of snooker. Perhaps he did, but I think he's got the

:02:41. > :02:47.appetite back. Off as a competitor, he has a fierce competitor. Like an

:02:47. > :02:53.animal on the table. Yes. He really does look totally hungry. Not every

:02:53. > :02:57.player in the game appears to be like that. Some players are not as

:02:57. > :03:02.aggressive or absolutely committed to every shot. He is not polite

:03:02. > :03:11.around the table. He wants to win. If you're in his way, he will bodge

:03:11. > :03:15.you out of the way. He is selfish. When you look at a cue action, the

:03:15. > :03:20.word that strong stimp -- springs to mind is strong. He hits the ball

:03:20. > :03:25.with great authority. It is a definite punch. Possibly a longer

:03:25. > :03:30.pause than anybody in the game at the back of his cue action. When he

:03:30. > :03:34.delivers it, he accelerates through the ball. A powerful cue action.

:03:34. > :03:40.Her very deliberate as well. That shows in his break-building, very

:03:40. > :03:44.precise. Yes, every shot, he plays cannons very well, goes into the

:03:44. > :03:51.pack at the right time, very rarely gets a lot of position when he is

:03:51. > :03:55.in the balls. Can he get back to the ultimate winning ways and win

:03:56. > :03:59.the World Championship? I think he can definitely be world champion.

:03:59. > :04:04.Whether he can be as high as World No. 1, perhaps he lacks the

:04:05. > :04:08.dedication to go through a whole season. I think he likes to take

:04:08. > :04:12.breaks through the season to recharge the batteries. There's no

:04:12. > :04:17.doubt he is capable of winning the World Championship. This was the

:04:17. > :04:20.third time these men had met at the Masters. Matches between these

:04:21. > :04:27.practice partners have historically been pretty close and so it was to

:04:27. > :04:37.prove again. It went 3-3. Graeme Dott led 4-3 and we will pick them

:04:37. > :04:45.

:04:45. > :04:54.up in the 8th frame. Graeme Dott is The ball Maguire needed to cover...

:04:54. > :05:04.Mistake. This is the chance Stephen Maguire has been looking for. 4-3

:05:04. > :05:34.

:05:34. > :05:44.down, 39 behind. He has to take Position is not straightforward. No

:05:44. > :06:13.

:06:13. > :06:22.Mild applause, but it is not He has to force up for the brown or

:06:22. > :06:28.possibly the blue. He needs to play He didn't put as much pace in it as

:06:28. > :06:36.he needed. He knew that would have made the pot a lot more difficult.

:06:36. > :06:42.I don't believe he played for the brown into the left middle. He is

:06:42. > :06:46.getting a bit worktop at the minute. He banged his cue on the floor and

:06:46. > :06:50.he knows this is a good opportunity. He has to be careful and play a

:06:50. > :07:00.good safety if he is not on something. He could force the issue

:07:00. > :07:20.

:07:20. > :07:26.He reluctantly bit the bullet! And quite rightly. But it was a good

:07:26. > :07:32.chance. He knows it went begging. Yes, of the problem is you have to

:07:32. > :07:36.work so hard to get chances off Graeme. He plays lots of shots to

:07:36. > :07:46.nothing and clever safety shot. When you get a chance and make 7,

:07:46. > :07:55.

:07:55. > :08:02.It wouldn't surprise me if he played a cross double here. I think

:08:02. > :08:12.he could play this. If he knocks it in, he is guaranteed position on

:08:12. > :08:44.

:08:44. > :08:48.A big problem for Graeme. Let's see if we can sort it out for him.

:08:48. > :08:52.think Graeme has sorted out a shot, but I also think the two reds in

:08:52. > :08:56.the middle of the table might be a plant to the middle pocket and that

:08:56. > :09:01.is his problem. He wanted to play the red on the left-hand side

:09:01. > :09:11.cushion, but those two reds in the middle, as you can see, are

:09:11. > :09:20.

:09:20. > :09:25.He has played to hit the reds with the plant and he has miss them.

:09:25. > :09:28.REFEREE: Foul, and a miss.. might not be taken. It depends

:09:28. > :09:34.whether Stephen feels he can pot the red and get position on a

:09:34. > :09:43.colour. These reds are awkward. He is 28 points behind. It would be a

:09:43. > :09:51.good clearance from here to win He could hold comfortably for

:09:51. > :10:01.yellow or green. They are not ideally placed, the reds. He will

:10:01. > :10:37.

:10:37. > :10:41.do well to win the frame at this Would you believe it? I said it

:10:41. > :10:51.would be difficult to win the frame at that visit, but I never expected

:10:51. > :10:56.

:10:56. > :11:03.him to win -- miss that one. Surely That was a lovely kiss! I didn't

:11:03. > :11:07.expect Maguire to miss that one. But you couldn't hope for a better

:11:07. > :11:17.kiss than what Graeme Dott has just had. Straight green and perfect on

:11:17. > :11:31.

:11:31. > :11:35.to the two reds. Yes, the two This was a bit. When I would be --

:11:35. > :11:40.when I said it would be difficult for Stephen Maguire, the awkward

:11:45. > :11:52.finishing on the green... Are now he is complaining he got a bounced

:11:52. > :11:56.off the cushion. When you're playing with a bit of track, as he

:11:56. > :12:00.did there, it turns into a bit of top-spin. I think it came off

:12:00. > :12:04.quicker, but the shot before should not have been anywhere near where

:12:04. > :12:09.he left it. He just had to make sure the cue ball was up the table

:12:09. > :12:13.and he would not have had to play a thin cut. What compounded that, he

:12:13. > :12:23.had a choice of yellow or green. There was no advantage in being

:12:23. > :12:24.

:12:24. > :12:30.short. It has caused him to miss. Stephen Maguire will get another

:12:30. > :12:39.chance. I think they are both feeling it at the minute. They know

:12:39. > :12:49.I bet he never thought he was getting another chance, Stephen

:12:49. > :12:55.

:12:55. > :13:00.Well... What is happening at the minute? He has conceded. I know

:13:00. > :13:05.you're not supposed to. Frame conceded. There's a rule that you

:13:05. > :13:10.are not supposed to concede while the game is still in play. He might

:13:10. > :13:15.finish up with a fine for that. Just the frustration of the

:13:15. > :13:20.situation, these things happen. We will watch it again. The cue ball

:13:20. > :13:25.was coming down the table and he flicked it away and conceded.

:13:25. > :13:27.Graeme Dott is now one frame away from a place in the quarter-final.

:13:27. > :13:34.from a place in the quarter-final. Stephen Maguire is on the ropes.

:13:34. > :13:40.STUDIO: We don't see that very often. You are fined for it.

:13:40. > :13:45.Explain the situation. If you concede when you can still win the

:13:45. > :13:50.frame, mathematically, you get a fine. It depends on whether it is

:13:50. > :13:55.your first offence or second offence. It will be �250. Costly!

:13:55. > :14:02.He was clearly under a lot of pressure. Can you sympathise with

:14:02. > :14:07.Stephen in a situation like that? It has cost me in the past! I bet

:14:08. > :14:11.that hurt you, �250! He was positively volcanic in that frame,

:14:11. > :14:15.Stephen. He had had two or three chances and could not get over the

:14:15. > :14:22.line. You got the impression he was so frustrated, he just wanted to

:14:22. > :14:29.get it over with and concentrate on the rest. He will certainly not

:14:29. > :14:34.happy. He banged his head, banged his knuckles, he was not happy.

:14:34. > :14:36.seemed to help him because he won the next courtesy of a break of 56.

:14:37. > :14:46.the next courtesy of a break of 56. He is trailing by one frame as we

:14:47. > :15:01.

:15:01. > :15:05.Stephen Maguire breaks off in frame 10. He needs to win the last three

:15:05. > :15:10.frames to win this match, he has got the first one. It took him just

:15:10. > :15:20.over 15 minutes to do so. He is still fighting. But he will have to

:15:20. > :15:26.

:15:26. > :15:33.play really well to win these last Half a chance for Graeme Dott. But

:15:33. > :15:39.once again, as you spotted earlier, when he is having to hit Bella

:15:39. > :15:45.Centre at pace, he is not as accurate. Gash below centre. When

:15:45. > :15:52.he is playing the cue ball above centre and rolling them in...

:15:52. > :16:02.is a test for your cue action. These are really hard. Someone is

:16:02. > :16:10.

:16:10. > :16:18.just coming into the auditorium. Brilliant! Absolutely. You couldn't

:16:18. > :16:25.have described it any better. A superb shot. Such a dangerous

:16:25. > :16:35.player. His own worst enemy at times, but when he is on terms with

:16:35. > :16:39.

:16:40. > :16:42.That nearly went wrong, but it is OK. He just managed to nudge the

:16:42. > :16:52.red towards the left corner otherwise he would have been on

:16:52. > :16:58.

:16:58. > :17:07.You may have noticed that he potted that red into the left-hand side

:17:07. > :17:17.jaw just to widen the angle to come He got as much as he could get out

:17:17. > :17:43.

:17:43. > :17:47.Not quite how he played that, but It is OK. For a moment I thought he

:17:47. > :17:57.had run too far, but he can get through to the cue ball without

:17:57. > :18:17.

:18:17. > :18:21.He still looks to be in good He was slightly hampered by the red.

:18:21. > :18:31.It is the follow-through that is the problem, you can go through and

:18:31. > :18:42.

:18:42. > :18:46.hit the red. You have to be very Graeme Dott just have to sit there

:18:46. > :18:52.patiently, hoping he gets a chance, if not in this frame, then in the

:18:52. > :18:58.next one. That is what he will have been thinking from the moment he

:18:58. > :19:03.was 5-3 ahead. I am bound to get a couple of chances. At the moment...

:19:03. > :19:07.He did not get much of a chance in the last frame. That excellent

:19:07. > :19:13.opening red from his opponent hasn't given him much of a chance

:19:13. > :19:18.in this one. He has the perfect angle on the blue to go into the

:19:18. > :19:22.pink and reds, but what is the point? He will try to keep it

:19:22. > :19:29.simple at the moment and punched the yellow in, playing for the

:19:29. > :19:39.loose red. Mob throws up first. Get yourself a good lead. -- mob those

:19:39. > :19:59.

:19:59. > :20:09.He has got a very big area to play in. Reds go into both of the top

:20:09. > :20:31.

:20:31. > :20:36.He will be disappointed with that. He wanted an angle on the black.

:20:36. > :20:46.They have potted 133 balls appease, but the most important thing is the

:20:46. > :20:47.

:20:47. > :20:53.score line. Maguire is still one He was able to force it across. He

:20:53. > :21:01.will take the red to the left middle. Since he conceded that

:21:02. > :21:07.frame before, he has started hitting the ball superbly well. He

:21:08. > :21:15.gave away frame eight and he will be fined for that. But he has

:21:15. > :21:20.really cued well since he got that frame out of his mind. A choice of

:21:20. > :21:30.reds. He has decided to play this one and go up for the blue, I

:21:30. > :21:30.

:21:30. > :21:36.believed, and try to leave an angle P has not gone far enough. He might

:21:36. > :21:46.be able to force it down, but a little shake of the head. It is

:21:46. > :21:48.

:21:48. > :21:58.By this could be the key to this frame. Can he get good position on

:21:58. > :22:04.

:22:04. > :22:09.a colour to bring the reds into He is asking for the cue ball to be

:22:09. > :22:15.cleaned. Whether it was such a bad contact or he didn't hit it hard

:22:15. > :22:25.enough. You can see the red jumped. It took all the pace out of the cue

:22:25. > :22:26.

:22:26. > :22:32.Just having a look around to see if there are any plants in the cluster.

:22:32. > :22:42.I can't see any. He can still get into these, but it is a much

:22:42. > :22:54.

:22:54. > :23:04.He is just about on one. He is looking for a red and one more

:23:04. > :23:06.

:23:06. > :23:12.black and he has a chance of the This will be some frame-winning

:23:12. > :23:22.contribution when you consider the red he started with. Just building

:23:22. > :23:36.

:23:37. > :23:41.himself up for this. Red and a Talk about that opening red, John,

:23:41. > :23:51.it was an absolute beauty. Tight against the side cushion. Cueing

:23:51. > :24:02.

:24:02. > :24:12.across the table, excellent. He 69 ahead, just 67 remaining, but

:24:12. > :24:16.

:24:16. > :24:23.That chance that Graeme Dott felt was bound to come his way hasn't in

:24:23. > :24:29.this frame. It didn't in the last. He will be hoping he gets an

:24:29. > :24:39.opportunity in the decider. Key yes. I said earlier Stephen Maguire will

:24:39. > :25:09.

:25:09. > :25:19.have to play very well. That is We've had six century breaks so far

:25:19. > :25:38.

:25:38. > :25:42.into pet fair Masters this year. -- It looks as though he is going to

:25:42. > :25:49.make his second century. The highest break of the tournament so

:25:49. > :25:55.far is Mark Allen, 136. What a sensational break. Up against the

:25:55. > :26:05.wall and just needed the one opportunity. A tremendous pot on

:26:05. > :26:09.the red. Top drawer to win the frame in one visit. It sets us up

:26:09. > :26:14.for a decider. Graeme Dott is waiting for that chance to clinch

:26:15. > :26:24.the match. He's had two frames and he has not had one. He will be

:26:24. > :26:34.hoping for an opportunity in the all-important deciding frame. Such

:26:34. > :26:36.

:26:36. > :26:43.are the vagaries of snooker, you Absolutely superb! When he plays

:26:43. > :26:51.like that, you wonder who can beat him. Sometimes only himself. We are

:26:51. > :26:59.What an impressive response from Stephen Maguire and they began to

:26:59. > :27:01.play the final frame decider at 10:55pm last night. We will join

:27:01. > :27:09.them at 11:16pm. It is very, very them at 11:16pm. It is very, very

:27:09. > :27:13.tight. Graeme Dott is 12 point behind. -- 12 points.

:27:13. > :27:23.He decided to play a safety and that is pretty good. Nothing wrong

:27:23. > :27:24.

:27:24. > :27:30.He maybe the possibility of a pot for Stephen, but it is not easy.

:27:30. > :27:40.That yellow and the blue in the middle of the table off big balls

:27:40. > :27:56.

:27:56. > :28:06.They are blocking off the red on Is he going to go all-out for the

:28:06. > :28:09.

:28:09. > :28:19.pot? He just has to avoid the Didn't get the pot, but just about

:28:19. > :28:27.

:28:27. > :28:37.avoided the yellow. But he may have He has looked took a bit shaky on a

:28:37. > :28:40.

:28:40. > :28:45.couple of shots in this frame, If he has landed on the brown, that

:28:45. > :28:55.is a serious bonus. That is an absolutely natural angle back to

:28:55. > :28:56.

:28:56. > :29:06.the reds. Stephen Maguire sat there not looking too happy and no reason

:29:06. > :29:19.

:29:19. > :29:29.to. As you say, John, what a bonus Well, not the best positional shot.

:29:29. > :29:43.

:29:43. > :29:48.He just made certain of the red, Can he get past the pink but the

:29:48. > :29:54.red to the left corner? And if he can, he could bring these two reds

:29:54. > :30:04.into play on the left -- right hand side of the cushion. He decided

:30:04. > :30:16.

:30:16. > :30:26.I agree, that was a good chance to get the two reds out, he is going

:30:26. > :30:28.

:30:28. > :30:37.It has gone slightly wrong. Maybe the shot before was the time to go

:30:37. > :30:41.for it. Yes, it is all about decision-making. He was a little

:30:42. > :30:45.bit unlucky there, but to be perfectly honest, the angle he had

:30:45. > :30:55.on the yellow, he should have made sure he got the cannon better than

:30:55. > :31:21.

:31:21. > :31:24.Terrific pot. He does pull out some It is difficult to see how he can

:31:24. > :31:34.land on a red unless he plays the pink and tries to move the red off

:31:34. > :31:44.

:31:44. > :31:54.the side cushion here. It seems He has missed the pink. But I'm

:31:54. > :31:57.

:31:57. > :32:02.pretty sure he would be going back Definite signs, though, that he is

:32:02. > :32:12.struggling here, Graeme Dott. He is knocking in one or two good pot but

:32:12. > :32:13.

:32:13. > :32:23.I thought that Stephen could pot that, but he was so close, he

:32:23. > :32:38.

:32:38. > :32:43.Doesn't make a lot of difference to the frame, just means that Stephen

:32:43. > :32:50.Maguire now is one point in front. A lot of the snooker this evening

:32:50. > :33:00.has been hard fought. And after all these hours, there is just one

:33:00. > :33:33.

:33:33. > :33:38.Looking at that scoreline, 31-30, in 1972 when Alex Higgins beat Rex

:33:38. > :33:48.Williams in the semi-final, that was the frame score! How things

:33:48. > :33:53.

:33:53. > :34:03.have changed. Of course, the match And Alex, of course, went on to win

:34:03. > :34:07.

:34:07. > :34:13.it, he beat John Spencer in the And that red and the right hand

:34:13. > :34:21.side cushion is certainly the biggest ball in this frame. These

:34:21. > :34:31.two reds are pottable if you can But the one on the right cushion is

:34:31. > :34:55.

:34:55. > :35:04.I think the pink has come to his Well, does this red pass the black?

:35:04. > :35:14.Looking at Graeme Dott's body He doesn't have to do anything with

:35:14. > :35:30.

:35:30. > :35:37.the cue ball if he just stones it, Funnily enough, he was looking up

:35:37. > :35:44.and he saw the red drifting away. We saw a ball like that on the

:35:44. > :35:50.first day, Neil Robertson, he said the ball drifted away. Never really

:35:50. > :36:00.behind the line at the shot, can't confirm that one way or the other.

:36:00. > :36:18.

:36:18. > :36:21.But what I do know is that Graeme Welcome this is a far from easy pot.

:36:21. > :36:27.If you are going to try and win this frame, you will have to play

:36:27. > :36:35.on the black to get that red out. I can't see how he can do it off the

:36:35. > :36:45.pink. Don't get me wrong, this is a very tricky part. But if you do

:36:45. > :36:51.

:36:51. > :37:01.want to remove that red, you have Well, he has got the perfect angle

:37:01. > :37:01.

:37:01. > :37:05.on the black. I don't know why he He can play to move this or drop

:37:05. > :37:15.behind it. If he could Rollitt along the cushion, the pink would

:37:15. > :37:26.

:37:26. > :37:32.Just a fraction harder and he would have knocked this red on. Couldn't

:37:32. > :37:39.have played it better. It always had the look of being an important

:37:39. > :37:46.ball. Now the yellow has gone up near the baulk cushion, that has

:37:46. > :37:56.become important as well. Still plenty to pay for as well. -- play

:37:56. > :37:57.

:37:57. > :38:00.for. Good length with the cue ball, so important. He can push this up

:38:00. > :38:10.and down but it is the dreaded double kiss on the way back he has

:38:10. > :38:36.

:38:36. > :38:42.He missed the double kiss and he I think the green is going to

:38:42. > :38:52.hamper his bridging. He feels as though he can cue comfortably. Aid

:38:52. > :38:59.

:38:59. > :39:06.He has overdone it. Now, is it pottable coming off cushion first?

:39:06. > :39:11.It is Stephen Maguire's turn, where he has left the cue ball is

:39:11. > :39:21.possibly as awkward as it could be. I still think Graeme Dott could get

:39:21. > :39:37.

:39:37. > :39:42.in past the pink, but it could have Well, another chance for Graeme

:39:42. > :39:49.Dott, but the yellow is going to be difficult. I don't care how you get

:39:49. > :39:59.on it, it is going to be typical. Yes, it is the only hope Stephen

:39:59. > :40:04.

:40:04. > :40:14.He has played it really well. It has gone a little bit further than

:40:14. > :40:24.

:40:24. > :40:32.he would have liked. He could be It is decision time. This is a big,

:40:32. > :40:42.big match. He has got every respect for his opponent, Stephen Maguire.

:40:42. > :40:45.

:40:45. > :40:50.He just needs the yellow and the He tried to hedge his bets by not

:40:50. > :40:55.buying the screw, and I tell you what, it hasn't turned out too bad.

:40:55. > :41:05.Not too bad, it is an absolute result. It is nearly full ball

:41:05. > :41:08.

:41:08. > :41:18.If he could see all of that, he will be stunning it and leaping

:41:18. > :41:21.

:41:21. > :41:27.It is obviously tricky. I am not sure how much of this yellow he can

:41:27. > :41:37.hit. But the one thing for certain, he has got to get it safe of. Creme

:41:37. > :41:50.

:41:50. > :41:57.de just needs yellow and green. -- That was a bad as good as he could

:41:57. > :42:07.have done. -- about as good. It is a yellow ball fight, because these

:42:07. > :42:19.

:42:19. > :42:29.We had a 34 minute first frame, but since then, it has been pretty

:42:29. > :42:44.

:42:44. > :42:49.Well played. Yes, absolutely. He was in a spot of bother there. Most

:42:49. > :42:59.important thing is to get it safe, but he put a lot of pressure on his

:42:59. > :43:01.

:43:01. > :43:07.I'm surprised, I thought he might have played a more attacking shot

:43:07. > :43:17.there. I think it is one of those shots that is very tricky to get

:43:17. > :43:18.

:43:18. > :43:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:43:59. > :44:04.Her Stephen Maguire got an angle to go for this yellow and screw back

:44:04. > :44:08.for the green? This is a massive shot in the final frame of a major

:44:08. > :44:13.tournament, but there is a possibility here of one of the best

:44:13. > :44:23.shot he's going to play. The angle to looks good to me but this is

:44:23. > :44:39.

:44:39. > :44:49.Just the pace that kept it out, and I don't think Graeme Dott can pot

:44:49. > :45:08.

:45:08. > :45:12.the yellow, but it looks like a Well, he could obviously pot the

:45:12. > :45:22.yellow. He jumped up in the air because he thought he could pot it

:45:22. > :45:34.

:45:34. > :45:41.and avoid the kiss on the green. So And there is a gap. Can he get this

:45:41. > :45:51.green safe? There was also a gap behind the brown. Can he get behind

:45:51. > :45:59.

:45:59. > :46:09.That is what he has played for. So close, great try it. It was a great

:46:09. > :46:38.

:46:38. > :46:45.Whoever pots the next ball should win the match. It is that close.

:46:46. > :46:50.And that green is and passing that brown. -- is not passing that brown.

:46:50. > :46:57.It was slightly higher up, Stephen Maguire would be playing a safety

:46:57. > :47:07.behind the brown. But where it has finished his awkward. Difficult to

:47:07. > :47:10.

:47:11. > :47:20.This is tricky. If you over cut the green, it could kissed the brown

:47:21. > :47:23.

:47:23. > :47:33.and be left on. It is not Just to reiterate, it has just gone

:47:33. > :47:54.

:47:54. > :48:04.That is a tremendous shot. Just to get it as safe as this. He nearly

:48:04. > :48:13.

:48:13. > :48:20.That is a clever shot from Graeme Dott, very clever. He pushed the

:48:20. > :48:30.black on to the top rail, make it as difficult as possible. What I

:48:30. > :48:41.

:48:41. > :48:49.can see here, if he plays a cross He went for it. And so close. But

:48:49. > :48:59.he has not left it. That was a heck of a shot to go for. He nearly got

:48:59. > :49:02.

:49:02. > :49:06.Welcome the green off the side cushion, somewhere off the black.

:49:06. > :49:11.But does he want to leave the green near the black if he doesn't get

:49:11. > :49:14.the snooker? Because then Stephen Maguire will counter-punch with

:49:14. > :49:24.moving the black off the cushion with the green. All these things

:49:24. > :50:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:50:49. > :50:58.put in the black safe, you cannot get a snooker behind it. He did

:50:58. > :51:06.very well to get a snooker here, Stephen Maguire. You usually want

:51:06. > :51:14.a: near the cushion somewhere. In goes the green. Unbelievable.

:51:14. > :51:23.Stephen Maguire led 2-0. -- he trailed 2-0. He went 3-2 in front.

:51:23. > :51:28.He had his chances, couldn't take And in the end, Graeme Dott falls

:51:28. > :51:34.over the line and he is in the quarter-final. I think I was

:51:34. > :51:38.Kirsten that last frame, everything that could have gone wrong, I never

:51:38. > :51:43.got my chance to get my teeth into it. I got a kick right from the

:51:43. > :51:48.word go, I should have may be made 50. I landed straight on the black

:51:48. > :51:55.and then I couldn't get an angle. It just went totally wrong at the

:51:55. > :52:00.end. I think that was the only difference in the end. I have lost

:52:00. > :52:06.a lot of matches at the Masters the way that Stephen did there and I

:52:06. > :52:13.thought it was going to happen again. I have lost a lot 6-5s,

:52:14. > :52:17.released or won't, so I was really happy. A tough one to take. Indeed.

:52:17. > :52:22.Now it is Graeme Dott to goes through to play Judd Trump on

:52:22. > :52:27.Friday. You were commentating on that match. What does he need to do

:52:27. > :52:32.to improve? If they are right to things it is his long potting,

:52:32. > :52:36.every tummy had to stun a ball around the angles with power, he

:52:36. > :52:42.missed everyone. When he is playing long run through his, fantastic,

:52:43. > :52:46.but using power, he missed nearly everyone he took on. His cue ball

:52:46. > :52:50.control was Kabul by his own standards, poor. But he is a

:52:50. > :52:55.competitor like you have never seen. His biggest trump card is his

:52:55. > :52:59.temperament. There was a lot of stuff last night, balls were

:52:59. > :53:06.awkward, he didn't have the cue ball like he wanted, but next shot,

:53:06. > :53:09.100%. Fantastic competitor. From Stephen Maguire's perspective, how

:53:09. > :53:13.does you rationalise a defeat like that after getting back into the

:53:13. > :53:18.match so beautifully? He will be disappointed that the last frame

:53:18. > :53:23.didn't go for him, he played some great snooker, some incredible

:53:23. > :53:29.safety shots and he just didn't get the benefit from any of them. I saw

:53:29. > :53:34.one to take for him, he will be looking to have done well. After

:53:34. > :53:38.the UK Championship we were talking about Graeme Dott's exit there, and

:53:38. > :53:42.unlike him he said, I don't feel I'm going to be happy for a while,

:53:42. > :53:46.I'm not the player I was since winning the world title, I feel I

:53:46. > :53:50.may be finished, I really don't know. I am not retiring, though,

:53:50. > :53:57.don't worry. That is not the talk you expect from Graeme Dott, things

:53:57. > :54:03.must have been tricky for him. think as a sportsman, if you go

:54:03. > :54:06.through a run of bad result, it can get you down. Playing so many

:54:06. > :54:14.tournaments, not playing well and maybe not enjoying practice, it can

:54:14. > :54:19.be tough. So it is a tough situation to be in, if you're not

:54:19. > :54:23.happy with your game. And you say things that you press conferences,

:54:23. > :54:29.United will come out and then you read in the paper and you think,

:54:29. > :54:34.what did I say? While he competes the way he competes, he is still

:54:34. > :54:41.capable of winning. He will need to up it to win the tournament, but I

:54:41. > :54:49.would never counts him out. don't get to three world finals for

:54:49. > :54:59.nothing. What is coping -- coming this evening? It is the man who was

:54:59. > :55:03.

:55:03. > :55:08.runner up 12 months ago, Shaun But his opponent is the world

:55:08. > :55:18.number 13, he won his first ranking event of the season in China, his

:55:18. > :55:20.

:55:20. > :55:24.second major title. Let's here It has been a long time away from

:55:24. > :55:28.the tournament, hard to get back into the top 16. It is a high-

:55:28. > :55:38.profile event, if you put the work in you can go and show everybody

:55:38. > :55:39.

:55:39. > :55:44.would you have got. It is exciting It is hard now in snooker because

:55:44. > :55:47.we are so busy and we are playing that many tournaments that they all

:55:47. > :55:51.kind of rolled into one. What a to bring with me is knowing that I

:55:51. > :56:00.practice very hard and my game is in good condition on the practice

:56:00. > :56:06.table. I really have put the effort I rate him as one of the best. He

:56:06. > :56:10.is a class act, very attacking, good match player. I have known him

:56:10. > :56:19.a long time, we go back to the junior days, I know all about how

:56:19. > :56:23.good he is, I'm going to have to be at the top of my again. -- my game.

:56:23. > :56:29.He is a ranking event winner, and he fully deserves his place in the

:56:29. > :56:34.top 16. He is a great player. When he gets going he is devastating. A

:56:34. > :56:44.really good mate of mine away from snooker, we get on really well. We

:56:44. > :56:51.know each other's games inside out, If I play to the best of my ability

:56:51. > :56:56.I can win the game. From my point of view I think so, but I think

:56:56. > :57:00.everyone else will be favouring Shaun Murphy, which is fine by me.

:57:00. > :57:08.Win, lose or draw, I know I have given myself the best possible

:57:08. > :57:14.chance, so as a snooker player I cannot really do any more. How do

:57:14. > :57:18.you SS Shaun Murphy's form? He has been in two finals, he has got to

:57:18. > :57:22.start converting these finals in two wins if he wants to be

:57:22. > :57:27.remembered as one of the greats. He is a great player, but he needs to

:57:27. > :57:33.start winning ball as far as I'm concerned. He has got a UK crown,

:57:33. > :57:39.this would complete the Triple Crown, few have done it. He is

:57:39. > :57:44.certainly capable. This is a very attractive match. Ricky Walden like

:57:44. > :57:49.to play the game, he likes it nice and Open, he can run away with a

:57:49. > :57:55.few frames and Shaun Murphy like that as well. The players you can

:57:56. > :57:59.mess him about and make it hard for him other one Sikh struggles with.

:57:59. > :58:05.They are the ones he has to get past. Ricky hasn't been to the

:58:05. > :58:14.Masters, this is only his second visit, he was hearing of four years
