:00:33. > :00:41.Morning, all. This time last night, about midnight, Mark Selby, the
:00:42. > :00:46.world number one, was just scraping himself across the line against
:00:47. > :00:50.Jamie Jones and into the last 16 of this year's Betway United Kingdom
:00:51. > :00:53.Championship. This evening, another former winner of the event,
:00:54. > :00:57.Australia's Neil Robertson, was hoping he would have a considerably
:00:58. > :01:02.easier time of things. Well, drama has followed, and you do not want to
:01:03. > :01:04.miss this this evening. The main course is coming. But first a little
:01:05. > :02:21.statistical starter for ya. Well, tonight Robertson was up
:02:22. > :02:24.against Bangkok's world number 36, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. He won at home
:02:25. > :02:25.in September, a real breakthrough for
:02:26. > :02:26.Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. He won at home in September, a real breakthrough
:02:27. > :02:34.for him in his world's first professional title. Let's see how he
:02:35. > :02:39.does with 15 reds on the table. This is frame six, Robertson leading 4-1.
:02:40. > :02:40.Stephen Hendry is sitting alongside John Virgo in the box. They are
:02:41. > :02:53.about to hold on to their hats. Once again, not the best safety.
:02:54. > :02:58.Whenever you hit a ball colourful in the face, you're always gonna leave
:02:59. > :03:03.your opponent with a hand on the table and the chabs of a pot, or a
:03:04. > :03:07.decent -- chance of a pot or a decent safety. Up couldn't imagine
:03:08. > :03:10.him turning this opportunity down. It's difficult to see where the
:03:11. > :03:14.colour comes from. Yeah, in the black pots in the right
:03:15. > :03:20.corner. But I don't think he's straight enough on this red. Unless
:03:21. > :03:23.he plays a cannon in the second one. Hmm. That was unlucky. I think he's
:03:24. > :03:28.on the black. APPLAUSE
:03:29. > :03:33.I think he will settle for it, though. At least he's got a go at a
:03:34. > :04:07.colour. If Thepchaiya has any chance of
:04:08. > :04:12.winning this match, he's gotta take these chances now.
:04:13. > :04:24.Got to start winning frames in one visit.
:04:25. > :04:32.Well, the fact that he played a lot of check for the black. And, of
:04:33. > :04:37.course, that's the best way to make breaks, staying at this end of the
:04:38. > :04:40.table. Now, he wants to be almost straight on the register right at
:04:41. > :04:46.the black. He's not. So, he's gonna have to play a little cannon here.
:04:47. > :04:51.Well, he's gonna put screw back for the black in the same pocket.
:04:52. > :05:01.A nice touch when he's in and around the black spot area.
:05:02. > :05:08.Now he looks to be nicely on this red. Of course, this clears the
:05:09. > :05:13.black for both corner pockets. A decent chance.
:05:14. > :05:47.As Stephen said, he's got to make the most of these opportunities now.
:05:48. > :05:54.He's going to play some sort of cannon here, you would think, into
:05:55. > :05:57.the cluster of reds. They all seem to be covering each other. This for
:05:58. > :06:04.a bit of power. Make sure you don't get the gap. Like that.
:06:05. > :06:10.He's still OK. He's got a red to the left centre. If he can get it
:06:11. > :06:14.straight enough, he will be able to go through for the black to the
:06:15. > :06:16.right corner. Oh, he's got too much angle, so the black to the left
:06:17. > :06:29.corner. He's played that very well. What he's done there, I must admit
:06:30. > :06:36.I've not seen a lot of him play. But I'm very impressed with what I've
:06:37. > :06:40.seen. But for a few... ..Things running against him, this match
:06:41. > :06:44.would have been very close. But that's not to say that he's not
:06:45. > :06:49.out of this yet. Anyone who can score. And he looks
:06:50. > :06:51.as though he's got the touch to make big breaks when he gets
:06:52. > :06:56.opportunities. Never frightened to open the balls up.
:06:57. > :07:05.And this, John, for his seventh black.
:07:06. > :07:15.Yeah, and I think it's the roll-up. Got the maximum required. And it
:07:16. > :07:23.rolls up, I think it's ?40,000 for the maximum.
:07:24. > :07:42.If he was to lose the match, it wouldn't be a bad consolation prize.
:07:43. > :08:04.Nice shot. This was aile lovely red to get rid of.
:08:05. > :08:07.I wish you luck, young man. Let's hope you don't get any heavy
:08:08. > :08:16.contacts. He does make the game look easy,
:08:17. > :08:52.when he's in flow. So far, he looks calm, cool and
:08:53. > :09:23.collected. Got to play for a choice of two reds
:09:24. > :09:28.here. He's got the angle of two cushions. If you're not on it, you
:09:29. > :09:32.have the chance of playing the red to the right centre. Then the baulk
:09:33. > :09:36.back down to the black. The same type of shot.
:09:37. > :09:40.Attempted to play the red to the right centre, myself.
:09:41. > :09:45.He's not even looked at it. I hope he gets a nice angle on it
:09:46. > :09:58.the next time. Mmm. Oh, dear. Didn't even look at
:09:59. > :10:03.the red to the right centre there, John. No, heb didn't. And it was a
:10:04. > :10:07.natural one -- he didn't. And it was a natural one. The line was there.
:10:08. > :10:10.It was just about the pace. A tough pot required here. Can he get on
:10:11. > :10:12.that last red? He's got the black. He's found the
:10:13. > :10:19.gap. APPLAUSE
:10:20. > :10:25.Slow doufenlt just give him any chance, please -- slow down. Just
:10:26. > :10:26.give him any chance, please. I think he can get just past the green and
:10:27. > :10:40.it passes the pink. Sensational! Sensational!
:10:41. > :10:42.What a pot. What a pot. Shot of the Championship so far for
:10:43. > :10:58.me. I think that's one of the best pots
:10:59. > :11:00.I have ever seen at any on TV. Absolutely. And just good position
:11:01. > :11:03.on the green needed. All tables have stopped to watch
:11:04. > :11:35.this. He doesn't look like he's got a
:11:36. > :11:42.nerve in his body. No. Just a little bit short. He's gonna have to come
:11:43. > :11:43.off the top cushion here. I don't think he can run through and develop
:11:44. > :11:58.the pink. And he has done. He has done. It
:11:59. > :12:01.looks a formality. But as you well know, Stephen, there's no
:12:02. > :12:06.formalities when you're looking at making a maximum, your first one on
:12:07. > :12:10.British television. Fortunately, he's perfect on the
:12:11. > :12:12.pink. Because I never like to see people getting the cue ball clean
:12:13. > :12:32.and stopping when they're in rhythm. Deep breath.
:12:33. > :12:35.Brig breath. And trust the technique. The black for the
:12:36. > :12:39.maximum. And ?44,000. Oh! No! Would you believe it?!
:12:40. > :12:57.Well... Words can't describe he must be feeling. What a moment it
:12:58. > :12:59.was in his career. In his snooker career, in his life. I can't believe
:13:00. > :13:11.He still trails by four frames to it. Neither can he. Unlucky.
:13:12. > :13:15.He still trails by four frames to two.
:13:16. > :13:21.He still trails by four frames to Yeah, forever to become known, I
:13:22. > :13:27.think, as Thepchaiya Oh No! His head must be reeling, and not just
:13:28. > :13:30.because ?44,000 up for grabs, had that black gone. What do you think?
:13:31. > :14:36.Let's find out in the next frame? Slightly hampered but controlled
:14:37. > :14:49.that well, did Neil. Nicely on the blue. Just coming to
:14:50. > :14:59.have a look. Legs are spread, but maybe all covering one another.
:15:00. > :15:03.I think the red just above the black and to the left will be available.
:15:04. > :15:07.But to get on that is another matter. He's played a little cannon.
:15:08. > :15:11.Oh, and that couldn't have worked out any better. I think he can get
:15:12. > :15:16.through to this red that's just above and to the right of the black.
:15:17. > :15:29.In potting this, oh, does it go? My commentator's eyes are getting a
:15:30. > :15:34.bit fuzzy as the years go by. I think it was one of those, if you
:15:35. > :15:39.were right behind it, you'd fancy knocking it in. But made it into a
:15:40. > :15:41.slightly blind pocket makes it more difficult. And if it doesn't go,
:15:42. > :15:57.what does go? APPLAUSE
:15:58. > :16:00.Well, decided that the double, the only red he could leave was the one
:16:01. > :16:35.he was playing. And he couldn't have played it much better.
:16:36. > :16:46.That one to perfection. So, now this is a chance now for Neil to get
:16:47. > :16:53.within one frame of victory. All the hullabaloo of the last frame.
:16:54. > :17:23.Now just methodically trying to chip away at these reds and blacks.
:17:24. > :17:30.He's having a look at red to the left corner, but surely you'd just
:17:31. > :17:34.roll the one into the right corner. Bound to be on the black.
:17:35. > :17:42.Asking for the cue ball to be cleaned. But if it was a heavy
:17:43. > :17:50.contact, it's not done him any harm. It's left him a nice angle on the
:17:51. > :17:54.black. Thepchaiya-in-noo, what's going through his mind? You can --
:17:55. > :17:58.Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, what's going through his mind? You can only
:17:59. > :18:39.assume that missed black. What a sickener.
:18:40. > :18:47.So, he's, in potting that red, he develops another two reds. He's got
:18:48. > :18:51.one in the same pocket as the black, which he's played on now. He's got
:18:52. > :18:55.three in the middle that will go to the left corner.
:18:56. > :19:12.You'd be amazed if he didn't win the frame with this visit now.
:19:13. > :19:28.Red, colour red, all that's required.
:19:29. > :19:34.This, of course, was all brought about by the...
:19:35. > :19:38.APPLAUSE You just get the feeling that that
:19:39. > :19:50.missed one was still in his mind when he played it.
:19:51. > :19:57.But I like the cut of his jib. I think he's a good player and I think
:19:58. > :20:02.we'll see a lot more of him. Not saying he's out of this match just
:20:03. > :20:06.yet. It's never over until someone gets to six frames. But you'll have
:20:07. > :20:11.to put the disappointment of that missed black behind him.
:20:12. > :20:20.But he will be back, no doubt about that.
:20:21. > :20:30.Just the red needed. Should have been easier.
:20:31. > :20:37.But no matter, in it goes. Puts him 71 points in front, with just 67
:20:38. > :21:02.remainling. Two snookers needed.
:21:03. > :21:09.Well, we was talking about the 147 in the last frame. The highest break
:21:10. > :21:16.at the moment, of which is the ?4,000 prize, is held by Stuart
:21:17. > :21:26.Bingham, a break of 143. Neil could better that here.
:21:27. > :21:56.He needs blacks, and one pink, would take him past that mark of 143.
:21:57. > :22:02.It has to be said, he's shown great focus after what went on in the last
:22:03. > :22:12.frame. He's just got on with the job.
:22:13. > :22:21.Now, Stephen, do you think he's aware what the highest break is?
:22:22. > :22:24.Absolutely. I think if there was one player playing this tournament that
:22:25. > :22:41.knows exactly what's going on, it's Neil Robertson.
:22:42. > :22:50.Yes, absolutely. Come back for the black. The black will, if he pots it
:22:51. > :22:54.in the sixth, it will make it a break of 145. Of course, it looked
:22:55. > :22:56.like 147 was gonna be the highest break after the last frame. What a
:22:57. > :23:11.standard we've seen. In it goes. Now, that cue ball needs
:23:12. > :23:19.to slow. It's running on. It's running on.
:23:20. > :23:22.It's just stopped in time. Yeah, I think it stopped in time
:23:23. > :23:25.enough for him not to have to play this on the right-hand side.
:23:26. > :23:29.I this on the right-hand side.
:23:30. > :23:33.end of the table. I thought he could drop it in.
:23:34. > :24:07.In the last frame, saying it was ?44,000. This is not such a paltry
:24:08. > :24:11.sum of ?4,000 for the highest break in the tournament. And the pink and
:24:12. > :24:27.black will make him the frontrunner for that.
:24:28. > :24:35.Superb! Absolutely brilliant. And a big smile on his face as well. As
:24:36. > :24:40.you say, Stephen, he knew what was required. 143 was the target. He's
:24:41. > :24:44.beaten it, at 145. Fantastic. And it takes Neil Robertson just one frame
:24:45. > :24:49.away from victory. He now leads by five frames to two.
:24:50. > :24:52.Yeah, no wonder he's grinning. Un-Nooh, though, still queasy and
:24:53. > :24:55.Yeah, no wonder he's grinning. seeing pound signs before his eyes.
:24:56. > :24:56.He's got a chance to win the eighth here, with a black on its spot yet
:24:57. > :25:07.again, though. Oh! And another black that's missed!
:25:08. > :25:10.And do you think, Stephen, it was a little thought of that other black?
:25:11. > :25:14.Yeah, I think that was in the back of his mind.
:25:15. > :25:18.He was determined not to have the same black at the same side of the
:25:19. > :25:21.table, and, yeah, definitely. He wasn't 100% focused there.
:25:22. > :25:33.And that's definitely left a scar. Well, let's hope the scar doesn't
:25:34. > :25:37.remain with him too long. But, yeah, I agree with you. He's probably
:25:38. > :25:43.playing that black and thinking, "Dear me. I missed one before. I'll
:25:44. > :25:47.knock this one in and have a think about how did I miss the
:25:48. > :25:52.knock this one in and have a think Things that can go through your
:25:53. > :25:53.mind. He's left a chance here for Neil
:25:54. > :26:12.Robertson to clinch it. So close. But it's run very, very
:26:13. > :26:18.safe. And if this cue ball goes tight, or
:26:19. > :26:22.almost tight to the top cushion, try getting this one safe.
:26:23. > :26:26.I think the only shot he's got - or one of the only shots - is playing
:26:27. > :26:34.it full ball, get a double-kiss, and the cue ball back up the table.
:26:35. > :26:42.Well, this was fraught with danger, playing it this way, I'm afraid.
:26:43. > :26:47.Yes. I think he wanted to concede there he didn't expect Neil
:26:48. > :26:49.Robertson to miss this. And I must confess, neither do I.
:26:50. > :27:04.This for the match. Just wondering whether to put his
:27:05. > :27:11.hand on the table or hand on the cushion.
:27:12. > :27:21.In it goes. So, that's it. Neil Robertson will offer his sympathy to
:27:22. > :27:26.Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. Missing that black for the maximum. But Neil
:27:27. > :27:29.Robertson replied with a 145. Highest break in the tournament. And
:27:30. > :27:32.at the end there, really started to cue well. Definitely a major
:27:33. > :27:36.contender for the title, is the Aussie. And he runs out, you think a
:27:37. > :27:44.comfortable winner, but that doesn't tell the story. But he does win by
:27:45. > :27:50.six frames to two. First time, I was make 15 black, and
:27:51. > :27:57.clear all the colour except the last black. First time for me. I never
:27:58. > :27:59.did 147 like this before in the big tournament, big game. With Neil
:28:00. > :28:04.Robertson, maybe too much pressure for the last black. He's made that
:28:05. > :28:07.unbelievable break in, like, six or seven minutes or something, and he's
:28:08. > :28:10.missed the black. I feel really terrible for him, because, you know,
:28:11. > :28:15.the prize money would have meant quite a lot to him as well, being an
:28:16. > :28:17.overseas player, it would have really helped with his expenses for
:28:18. > :28:26.the next couple of years. If I pot the red, I have jackpot.
:28:27. > :28:33.Sensational! Sensational! So, my - not escalate about the
:28:34. > :28:34.black one. Concentrate about how I'm going to do later. That's why I
:28:35. > :28:46.missed the black. You know, once he missed it, I had
:28:47. > :28:51.to try and focus on my game. And the next frame I made 145. Obviously
:28:52. > :28:57.very delighted with that. But, yeah, I don't know, it was just, uh, yeah,
:28:58. > :28:57.I still feel bad for him now. Raise raze yeah,
:28:58. > :29:02.I still feel bad for him now. Raise raze yeah, Robertson goes through to
:29:03. > :29:09.the last 16. Thepchaiya goes to maybe crawl under a rock for a bit.
:29:10. > :29:14.We'll leave him beand talk about someone else. How about Shaun
:29:15. > :29:21.Murphy? It was pretty much one-way traffic as he ran over Ben Wilson.
:29:22. > :29:21.The 2008 champion took a 2-1 lead with 22 clears to win
:29:22. > :29:23.The 2008 champion took a 2-1 lead with 22 clears to win it on the
:29:24. > :29:33.black and never A break of 106 in the eighth gave
:29:34. > :29:38.him a 6-2 win and he is looking like one of the form players so far.
:29:39. > :29:41.The first frame, I got a good chance. Should have had a century
:29:42. > :29:46.break for the charity that I work for and the charity that we're
:29:47. > :29:50.helping here. But a kick and we all know about kicks till we're blul in
:29:51. > :29:56.the face. But a kick cost me the -- blue in the face. But a kick cost me
:29:57. > :29:59.the century break. Fortunately, it went my way and I was able to push
:30:00. > :30:04.on. It was all much tighter between
:30:05. > :30:11.Martin Gold and Mark Allen. Allen led 2-1 thanks to a tonne in the
:30:12. > :30:16.third, but Gold then rattled off three frames in a row. Solid safety
:30:17. > :30:20.was one of the keys. But then a 98 break in the 10th saw him safely
:30:21. > :30:23.through six frames to four. Good win.
:30:24. > :30:29.It was a very high-quality match, I thought. We both scored very heavy.
:30:30. > :30:34.I think my safety probably was one of the keys for me today. I had him
:30:35. > :30:38.in a fair bit of trouble quite often and I created quite a few good
:30:39. > :30:45.opportunities and scored off them. So, let's take stock. We've got the
:30:46. > :30:49.one-on-one, Selby -- we've got the world number one, Selby, Murphy.
:30:50. > :30:52.Missing from the equation, number two, and Ronnie O'Sullivan, who
:30:53. > :30:56.chose not to defend his title. We have heard in the last few hours,
:30:57. > :31:01.though, that Ronnie will r indeed, return to action at the Masters next
:31:02. > :31:05.month. So, what about the world number six currently, Judd Trump?
:31:06. > :31:09.We're gonna see snooker's box office boy shortly, but not before we've
:31:10. > :31:11.heard what his fellow pros think of him, or at least what they're
:31:12. > :31:22.willing to tell us. The future of snooker, I think, he's
:31:23. > :31:25.got the flair, he's got the personality to sort of sell snooker,
:31:26. > :31:30.and hopefully he can remain at the top of the game. And I would love to
:31:31. > :31:34.see him be world champion, because I think he can make a big difference
:31:35. > :31:39.to the future of snooker J he's the Alex Higgins of the modern game.
:31:40. > :31:45.He's unpredictal. Got an abundance of shots. Can play every shot in the
:31:46. > :31:48.book. Flamboyant. A great entertainer. Probably a little
:31:49. > :31:53.misunderstood off the table. People see him as too flamboyant and a
:31:54. > :31:56.partygoer. But if you know Judd and his family, he's not like that. A
:31:57. > :32:04.great kid and very, very quiet. A brilliant potter. Amazing. Great
:32:05. > :32:11.attitude. Sometimes he gets a bit of Schtick. But I love his attitude.
:32:12. > :32:18.Crack on, mate. Hard, quick, quiet. And a very good player. Devastating
:32:19. > :32:22.potter. He's rentered his game now, which has maybe taken a bit off his
:32:23. > :32:27.potting button, in the long run, it's gonna be a lot better for his
:32:28. > :32:31.career. One of the best potters the game's probably ever seen. And great
:32:32. > :32:36.building, flair, he's got everything. Judd Trump loves naughty
:32:37. > :32:39.snooker, goes for everything, plays great attacking snooker. The crowd
:32:40. > :32:41.love to watch him. I love to watch him. And I'm sure he's a world
:32:42. > :32:41.champion love to watch him. I love to watch
:32:42. > :32:50.him. And I'm sure he's a world champion in the making.
:32:51. > :32:54.Well, tonight Judd had a match with China's player, who's had seven
:32:55. > :32:58.years of living down this moment at the Crucible, where he may not have
:32:59. > :33:01.had a clue where he was going backstage or indeed front of house,
:33:02. > :33:05.but he sure knew what he was doing once he got to at the time table,
:33:06. > :33:09.reaching the quarterfinals. He's now 20 years of age. He's ranked 32 in
:33:10. > :33:17.the world. By the way, he led Judd by two wins to one in previous
:33:18. > :33:18.matches before tonight. The Juddernaut was living up to
:33:19. > :33:23.matches before tonight. The Juddernaut was living up to his name
:33:24. > :33:28.earlier on this evening. We join them in frame nine. Judd had banged
:33:29. > :33:35.in some junkie contributions earlier on.
:33:36. > :33:41.Liang, who reached the final in September that I was talking about
:33:42. > :33:47.that, the luckless thep that Ia won, has dug in here. Dud's focus doesn't
:33:48. > :33:53.appear to be sharp -- Judd's focus doesn't appear to be sharp. And the
:33:54. > :33:57.Chinese has holed himself back into this, despite not making more than a
:33:58. > :34:06.54 break in the last three frames. He has knocked in a 62 at the start
:34:07. > :34:10.of this one. And he's over the line here.
:34:11. > :34:14.Taking a 5-4 And he's over the line here.
:34:15. > :34:16.turnaround this is. And you And he's over the line here.
:34:17. > :34:21.there is potentially a big story brewing. Now, some of you might
:34:22. > :34:25.remember a Judd collapse here in York four years ago from a similar
:34:26. > :34:35.position against Mark Joyce. Surely it couldn't happen again.
:34:36. > :34:40.Let's get into Frame ten, then. Liang has a 40-point lead and a pink
:34:41. > :34:53.to the middle. Well, that is abamazing miss.
:34:54. > :35:02.-- an amazing miss. That has to be put down as a big
:35:03. > :35:12.twitch. That's what we call them. You can see the movement there as
:35:13. > :35:25.well. But if Judd Trump can somehow get
:35:26. > :35:32.out of this, it will be remarkable. Because I'm sure he felt a couple of
:35:33. > :35:34.times during this frame that his UK Championship had gone.
:35:35. > :35:56.But it hasn't gone just yet. Could do really with a pink back in
:35:57. > :35:59.its spot. It's going to be very hard to get back into this frame without
:36:00. > :36:03.the blue or pink in play. Obviously he would like to get on to the black
:36:04. > :36:08.as well. That's a possibility. But the black along the cushion is
:36:09. > :36:11.missable. I just sometimes, there's an inner
:36:12. > :36:14.strength that a top player can call on. You know, it's all the
:36:15. > :36:15.experience. He's won a lot in the game.
:36:16. > :36:26.And he's having to call on that now. game.
:36:27. > :36:32.risk... Well, that's not any good, is it? That's nowhere.
:36:33. > :36:36.The only good thing here, he might be able to get on to the blue, if he
:36:37. > :36:41.decide to cut this be able to get on to the blue, if he
:36:42. > :36:44.You can see the disappointment in his face. He's disgusted with the
:36:45. > :37:00.way he's played that positional shot.
:37:01. > :37:07.He's on the blue, what he suggested. And getting it back on to its spot
:37:08. > :37:34.will be a big help. He's only 31 points behind here.
:37:35. > :37:45.Couldn't hole for the blue. On that occasion. But it's not a
:37:46. > :37:47.straightforward clearance by any means. A clearance that he badly
:37:48. > :37:57.needs. Now, if he could drop on this in
:37:58. > :38:01.such a way, he might play for the black. But, no, it will be back for
:38:02. > :38:11.the blue, looking at the angle he has on it there, as you can see.
:38:12. > :38:17.And he hasn't hit it hard enough. Another disappointing shot from
:38:18. > :38:23.Judd. It's gonna have to be the brown now, if he wants to get back
:38:24. > :38:27.on the last red. Under the circumstances, you know, it might be
:38:28. > :38:31.better - he's got a slight angle. Just pot the blue and then send the
:38:32. > :38:35.red into the black and bring the black into play.
:38:36. > :38:39.Yeah, I totally agree. There's no way he's gonna clear the table at
:38:40. > :38:40.this visit now. Well, he's had the blue cleaned and now he's taking the
:38:41. > :38:55.brown, the attacking shot. Just slicing at the balls. His
:38:56. > :39:00.cue-action has gone completely. That's a bit of luck he's had for a
:39:01. > :39:04.change there. Yeah. That's the sort of shot that
:39:05. > :39:11.he's very good at. But under these circumstances, it was difficult. And
:39:12. > :39:18.what's the difference? 20 points, Liang needs a red and black to leave
:39:19. > :39:19.Judd needing a snooker. And this time, luckily for Judd, he didn't
:39:20. > :39:41.get onto the red. He hangs to see if he got the
:39:42. > :40:05.snooker, but it's travelled a little too far.
:40:06. > :40:11.That's a pretty good shot, I think. He snookered him. And not a stroort
:40:12. > :40:14.hit. -- and not a straightforward hit.
:40:15. > :40:19.There's a little bit of room to go around the back of this red. And, of
:40:20. > :40:23.course, if he hits it, he will be pushing it towards the corner.
:40:24. > :40:26.I think the easiest way out of this snooker is off this cushion up near
:40:27. > :40:28.the black. I don't know if he can swerve it. Maybe he wants a big
:40:29. > :40:40.swerve. Well...
:40:41. > :40:45.Good luck getting the balls back in the right place.
:40:46. > :40:47.Yeah, he will need a little bit of help from one of the monitors that
:40:48. > :41:06.they have available to them. Peter Williams there, one of the
:41:07. > :41:12.other referees. He's on scoring duties here. Where am I going, Pete?
:41:13. > :41:18."Where am I going, Pete?" Yeah. That's where they were.
:41:19. > :41:27.The pink's not too far away. The red was definitely off the cushion. But
:41:28. > :41:28.whereabouts? To you? I said, "Keep coming." "That will
:41:29. > :41:39.do. Perfect." Pink? Not bad.
:41:40. > :41:40.Pink about half an inch to the right.
:41:41. > :41:55.Away from you. Just have a look on the big screen,
:41:56. > :42:02.Pete. Is that how it is now? Yeah. That's how it was. He's saying
:42:03. > :42:06.to Pete. So, the red has gone to the...?
:42:07. > :42:16.No, not really. Well, hmm... Pink is a bit further up the table,
:42:17. > :42:21.right? Yeah, that's better. That's where
:42:22. > :42:27.they were. And I think that's pretty spot on now. Yep that. Will do. That
:42:28. > :42:32.will do very nicely. How's that look? Will he play the square shot
:42:33. > :42:35.again or will he come off the top cushion this time? OK? Yeah? Judd,
:42:36. > :42:39.thank you. Thank you, Pete. APPLAUSE
:42:40. > :42:43.Still gonna play the swerve shot. If he could hit the cushion first, he
:42:44. > :42:46.could send the red up the table. He's gotta get a lot of swerve on
:42:47. > :42:51.it. APPLAUSE
:42:52. > :43:20.Under the circumstances, one, that was a fabulous pot from Judd there.
:43:21. > :43:21.After the few that he's missed, that is a little peach he's just pulled
:43:22. > :43:38.out there. And if he can somehow win this
:43:39. > :43:41.frame, he's gonna be a strong favourite in the last frame, because
:43:42. > :43:46.Liang has had five chances in this frame to lynch the match. It just
:43:47. > :43:50.shows you how important it was when Judd got him to hit the pink in that
:43:51. > :43:55.first, because now he doesn't need the black. But once again a very
:43:56. > :44:00.poor positional shot from Judd. That young man has had five glorious
:44:01. > :44:29.chances to win this frame. And usually you're happy with one.
:44:30. > :44:39.Well, he's thought about taking that pot on and putting the white all the
:44:40. > :44:42.way back up the end of the table and back down again. Now he's changed
:44:43. > :44:48.his mind, because that would be far too risky.
:44:49. > :44:54.He's hit the... That's a poor shot. OK, the white's
:44:55. > :45:07.tight on the cushion, but what did he do there?
:45:08. > :45:12.Well, OK, this is not a straightforward pot. But if it goes
:45:13. > :45:17.in, it's match over. Surely he's gonna pot brown on blue.
:45:18. > :45:29.A bit of movement on that. Safely in the pocket, but this is still not
:45:30. > :45:33.straightforward. I mean, he's ten in front. He needs the brown and the
:45:34. > :45:38.blue for the biggest win of his career. There's a lot of pressure on
:45:39. > :45:39.this brown. He's gotta try and keep everything still and push that cue
:45:40. > :45:51.through in a straight line. What a great pot. Where's the cue
:45:52. > :45:53.ball going? Where's the cue ball going? Wow.
:45:54. > :46:01.LAUGHS Chance number six.
:46:02. > :46:08.Blue to win the match. Oh, he's so close to the blue, it's
:46:09. > :46:10.tough to pick this angle out. We'll know before he does if it's in or
:46:11. > :46:19.not. APPLAUSE
:46:20. > :46:26.Well t 12. That's what it means to this young Chinese player.
:46:27. > :46:34.And Judd Trump, wow. 4-1 in front. He was cruising. And suddenly
:46:35. > :46:38.everything turned right around. Hard to believe he's lost this.
:46:39. > :46:43.We'll leave every credit to Wenbo Liang. Absolutely, Dennis. An
:46:44. > :46:46.amazing victory. From 4-1 behind, he's won five frames on the trot.
:46:47. > :46:52.Judd Trump seemed to disappear towards the end of the match. Wenbo
:46:53. > :46:59.Liang has won his biggest win of his career. Goes into the last 16. A
:47:00. > :47:03.winner by six frames to four. I felt in control at 4-1, then I had
:47:04. > :47:07.a kick with the balls everywhere. That kind of frustrated me a bit. I
:47:08. > :47:13.thought I would still win. From then on, everything didn't seem to go my
:47:14. > :47:19.way. The last frame, I think three chances I can win the game, yeah?
:47:20. > :47:24.You I thinking too much. I think it's no finished yet. I think, "Win
:47:25. > :47:29.already." That's no good, yeah? I need to remember this big problem
:47:30. > :47:35.for me. I need change! I just felt like I couldn't pot a ball by then.
:47:36. > :47:38.I was a little bit disappointed and I just had another feel - it was
:47:39. > :47:44.just embarrassing toward the end. I just wanted it over and done with.
:47:45. > :47:48.The 2011 champion goes home. Well, Snooker Extra follows next with
:47:49. > :47:52.Jason. Then we're back at 1:00 with more live snooker. 16 men remaining
:47:53. > :47:57.in this Betway United Kingdom Championship. And Mark Selby is the
:47:58. > :48:00.star man tomorrow afternoon. But another, Judd Trump, has been posted
:48:01. > :48:16.missing. What a night it's been. Thanks for your company. Bye.
:48:17. > :48:16.The Hybrid will stand in the ruins of Gallifrey
:48:17. > :48:17.and destroy a billion hearts to heal its own.
:48:18. > :48:19.The Hybrid will stand in the ruins of Gallifrey
:48:20. > :48:35.and destroy a billion hearts to heal its own.
:48:36. > :48:39.Isn't this going a little far? I've barely started.
