Morning, all. This time last night, about midnight, Mark Selby, the

:00:33.:00:41.

world number one, was just scraping himself across the line against

:00:42.:00:46.

Jamie Jones and into the last 16 of this year's Betway United Kingdom

:00:47.:00:50.

Championship. This evening, another former winner of the event,

:00:51.:00:53.

Australia's Neil Robertson, was hoping he would have a considerably

:00:54.:00:57.

easier time of things. Well, drama has followed, and you do not want to

:00:58.:01:02.

miss this this evening. The main course is coming. But first a little

:01:03.:01:04.

statistical starter for ya. Well, tonight Robertson was up

:01:05.:02:21.

against Bangkok's world number 36, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. He won at home

:02:22.:02:24.

in September, a real breakthrough for

:02:25.:02:25.

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. He won at home in September, a real breakthrough

:02:26.:02:26.

for him in his world's first professional title. Let's see how he

:02:27.:02:34.

does with 15 reds on the table. This is frame six, Robertson leading 4-1.

:02:35.:02:39.

Stephen Hendry is sitting alongside John Virgo in the box. They are

:02:40.:02:40.

about to hold on to their hats. Once again, not the best safety.

:02:41.:02:53.

Whenever you hit a ball colourful in the face, you're always gonna leave

:02:54.:02:58.

your opponent with a hand on the table and the chabs of a pot, or a

:02:59.:03:03.

decent -- chance of a pot or a decent safety. Up couldn't imagine

:03:04.:03:07.

him turning this opportunity down. It's difficult to see where the

:03:08.:03:10.

colour comes from. Yeah, in the black pots in the right

:03:11.:03:14.

corner. But I don't think he's straight enough on this red. Unless

:03:15.:03:20.

he plays a cannon in the second one. Hmm. That was unlucky. I think he's

:03:21.:03:23.

on the black. APPLAUSE

:03:24.:03:28.

I think he will settle for it, though. At least he's got a go at a

:03:29.:03:33.

colour. If Thepchaiya has any chance of

:03:34.:04:07.

winning this match, he's gotta take these chances now.

:04:08.:04:12.

Got to start winning frames in one visit.

:04:13.:04:24.

Well, the fact that he played a lot of check for the black. And, of

:04:25.:04:32.

course, that's the best way to make breaks, staying at this end of the

:04:33.:04:37.

table. Now, he wants to be almost straight on the register right at

:04:38.:04:40.

the black. He's not. So, he's gonna have to play a little cannon here.

:04:41.:04:46.

Well, he's gonna put screw back for the black in the same pocket.

:04:47.:04:51.

A nice touch when he's in and around the black spot area.

:04:52.:05:01.

Now he looks to be nicely on this red. Of course, this clears the

:05:02.:05:08.

black for both corner pockets. A decent chance.

:05:09.:05:13.

As Stephen said, he's got to make the most of these opportunities now.

:05:14.:05:47.

He's going to play some sort of cannon here, you would think, into

:05:48.:05:54.

the cluster of reds. They all seem to be covering each other. This for

:05:55.:05:57.

a bit of power. Make sure you don't get the gap. Like that.

:05:58.:06:04.

He's still OK. He's got a red to the left centre. If he can get it

:06:05.:06:10.

straight enough, he will be able to go through for the black to the

:06:11.:06:14.

right corner. Oh, he's got too much angle, so the black to the left

:06:15.:06:16.

corner. He's played that very well. What he's done there, I must admit

:06:17.:06:29.

I've not seen a lot of him play. But I'm very impressed with what I've

:06:30.:06:36.

seen. But for a few... ..Things running against him, this match

:06:37.:06:40.

would have been very close. But that's not to say that he's not

:06:41.:06:44.

out of this yet. Anyone who can score. And he looks

:06:45.:06:49.

as though he's got the touch to make big breaks when he gets

:06:50.:06:51.

opportunities. Never frightened to open the balls up.

:06:52.:06:56.

And this, John, for his seventh black.

:06:57.:07:05.

Yeah, and I think it's the roll-up. Got the maximum required. And it

:07:06.:07:15.

rolls up, I think it's ?40,000 for the maximum.

:07:16.:07:23.

If he was to lose the match, it wouldn't be a bad consolation prize.

:07:24.:07:42.

Nice shot. This was aile lovely red to get rid of.

:07:43.:08:04.

I wish you luck, young man. Let's hope you don't get any heavy

:08:05.:08:07.

contacts. He does make the game look easy,

:08:08.:08:16.

when he's in flow. So far, he looks calm, cool and

:08:17.:08:52.

collected. Got to play for a choice of two reds

:08:53.:09:23.

here. He's got the angle of two cushions. If you're not on it, you

:09:24.:09:28.

have the chance of playing the red to the right centre. Then the baulk

:09:29.:09:32.

back down to the black. The same type of shot.

:09:33.:09:36.

Attempted to play the red to the right centre, myself.

:09:37.:09:40.

He's not even looked at it. I hope he gets a nice angle on it

:09:41.:09:45.

the next time. Mmm. Oh, dear. Didn't even look at

:09:46.:09:58.

the red to the right centre there, John. No, heb didn't. And it was a

:09:59.:10:03.

natural one -- he didn't. And it was a natural one. The line was there.

:10:04.:10:07.

It was just about the pace. A tough pot required here. Can he get on

:10:08.:10:10.

that last red? He's got the black. He's found the

:10:11.:10:12.

gap. APPLAUSE

:10:13.:10:19.

Slow doufenlt just give him any chance, please -- slow down. Just

:10:20.:10:25.

give him any chance, please. I think he can get just past the green and

:10:26.:10:26.

it passes the pink. Sensational! Sensational!

:10:27.:10:40.

What a pot. What a pot. Shot of the Championship so far for

:10:41.:10:42.

me. I think that's one of the best pots

:10:43.:10:58.

I have ever seen at any on TV. Absolutely. And just good position

:10:59.:11:00.

on the green needed. All tables have stopped to watch

:11:01.:11:03.

this. He doesn't look like he's got a

:11:04.:11:35.

nerve in his body. No. Just a little bit short. He's gonna have to come

:11:36.:11:42.

off the top cushion here. I don't think he can run through and develop

:11:43.:11:43.

the pink. And he has done. He has done. It

:11:44.:11:58.

looks a formality. But as you well know, Stephen, there's no

:11:59.:12:01.

formalities when you're looking at making a maximum, your first one on

:12:02.:12:06.

British television. Fortunately, he's perfect on the

:12:07.:12:10.

pink. Because I never like to see people getting the cue ball clean

:12:11.:12:12.

and stopping when they're in rhythm. Deep breath.

:12:13.:12:32.

Brig breath. And trust the technique. The black for the

:12:33.:12:35.

maximum. And ?44,000. Oh! No! Would you believe it?!

:12:36.:12:39.

Well... Words can't describe he must be feeling. What a moment it

:12:40.:12:57.

was in his career. In his snooker career, in his life. I can't believe

:12:58.:12:59.

He still trails by four frames to it. Neither can he. Unlucky.

:13:00.:13:11.

He still trails by four frames to two.

:13:12.:13:15.

He still trails by four frames to Yeah, forever to become known, I

:13:16.:13:21.

think, as Thepchaiya Oh No! His head must be reeling, and not just

:13:22.:13:27.

because ?44,000 up for grabs, had that black gone. What do you think?

:13:28.:13:30.

Let's find out in the next frame? Slightly hampered but controlled

:13:31.:14:36.

that well, did Neil. Nicely on the blue. Just coming to

:14:37.:14:49.

have a look. Legs are spread, but maybe all covering one another.

:14:50.:14:59.

I think the red just above the black and to the left will be available.

:15:00.:15:03.

But to get on that is another matter. He's played a little cannon.

:15:04.:15:07.

Oh, and that couldn't have worked out any better. I think he can get

:15:08.:15:11.

through to this red that's just above and to the right of the black.

:15:12.:15:16.

In potting this, oh, does it go? My commentator's eyes are getting a

:15:17.:15:29.

bit fuzzy as the years go by. I think it was one of those, if you

:15:30.:15:34.

were right behind it, you'd fancy knocking it in. But made it into a

:15:35.:15:39.

slightly blind pocket makes it more difficult. And if it doesn't go,

:15:40.:15:41.

what does go? APPLAUSE

:15:42.:15:57.

Well, decided that the double, the only red he could leave was the one

:15:58.:16:00.

he was playing. And he couldn't have played it much better.

:16:01.:16:35.

That one to perfection. So, now this is a chance now for Neil to get

:16:36.:16:46.

within one frame of victory. All the hullabaloo of the last frame.

:16:47.:16:53.

Now just methodically trying to chip away at these reds and blacks.

:16:54.:17:23.

He's having a look at red to the left corner, but surely you'd just

:17:24.:17:30.

roll the one into the right corner. Bound to be on the black.

:17:31.:17:34.

Asking for the cue ball to be cleaned. But if it was a heavy

:17:35.:17:42.

contact, it's not done him any harm. It's left him a nice angle on the

:17:43.:17:50.

black. Thepchaiya-in-noo, what's going through his mind? You can --

:17:51.:17:54.

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, what's going through his mind? You can only

:17:55.:17:58.

assume that missed black. What a sickener.

:17:59.:18:39.

So, he's, in potting that red, he develops another two reds. He's got

:18:40.:18:47.

one in the same pocket as the black, which he's played on now. He's got

:18:48.:18:51.

three in the middle that will go to the left corner.

:18:52.:18:55.

You'd be amazed if he didn't win the frame with this visit now.

:18:56.:19:12.

Red, colour red, all that's required.

:19:13.:19:28.

This, of course, was all brought about by the...

:19:29.:19:34.

APPLAUSE You just get the feeling that that

:19:35.:19:38.

missed one was still in his mind when he played it.

:19:39.:19:50.

But I like the cut of his jib. I think he's a good player and I think

:19:51.:19:57.

we'll see a lot more of him. Not saying he's out of this match just

:19:58.:20:02.

yet. It's never over until someone gets to six frames. But you'll have

:20:03.:20:06.

to put the disappointment of that missed black behind him.

:20:07.:20:11.

But he will be back, no doubt about that.

:20:12.:20:20.

Just the red needed. Should have been easier.

:20:21.:20:30.

But no matter, in it goes. Puts him 71 points in front, with just 67

:20:31.:20:37.

remainling. Two snookers needed.

:20:38.:21:02.

Well, we was talking about the 147 in the last frame. The highest break

:21:03.:21:09.

at the moment, of which is the ?4,000 prize, is held by Stuart

:21:10.:21:16.

Bingham, a break of 143. Neil could better that here.

:21:17.:21:26.

He needs blacks, and one pink, would take him past that mark of 143.

:21:27.:21:56.

It has to be said, he's shown great focus after what went on in the last

:21:57.:22:02.

frame. He's just got on with the job.

:22:03.:22:12.

Now, Stephen, do you think he's aware what the highest break is?

:22:13.:22:21.

Absolutely. I think if there was one player playing this tournament that

:22:22.:22:24.

knows exactly what's going on, it's Neil Robertson.

:22:25.:22:41.

Yes, absolutely. Come back for the black. The black will, if he pots it

:22:42.:22:50.

in the sixth, it will make it a break of 145. Of course, it looked

:22:51.:22:54.

like 147 was gonna be the highest break after the last frame. What a

:22:55.:22:56.

standard we've seen. In it goes. Now, that cue ball needs

:22:57.:23:11.

to slow. It's running on. It's running on.

:23:12.:23:19.

It's just stopped in time. Yeah, I think it stopped in time

:23:20.:23:22.

enough for him not to have to play this on the right-hand side.

:23:23.:23:25.

I this on the right-hand side.

:23:26.:23:29.

end of the table. I thought he could drop it in.

:23:30.:23:33.

In the last frame, saying it was ?44,000. This is not such a paltry

:23:34.:24:07.

sum of ?4,000 for the highest break in the tournament. And the pink and

:24:08.:24:11.

black will make him the frontrunner for that.

:24:12.:24:27.

Superb! Absolutely brilliant. And a big smile on his face as well. As

:24:28.:24:35.

you say, Stephen, he knew what was required. 143 was the target. He's

:24:36.:24:40.

beaten it, at 145. Fantastic. And it takes Neil Robertson just one frame

:24:41.:24:44.

away from victory. He now leads by five frames to two.

:24:45.:24:49.

Yeah, no wonder he's grinning. Un-Nooh, though, still queasy and

:24:50.:24:52.

Yeah, no wonder he's grinning. seeing pound signs before his eyes.

:24:53.:24:55.

He's got a chance to win the eighth here, with a black on its spot yet

:24:56.:24:56.

again, though. Oh! And another black that's missed!

:24:57.:25:07.

And do you think, Stephen, it was a little thought of that other black?

:25:08.:25:10.

Yeah, I think that was in the back of his mind.

:25:11.:25:14.

He was determined not to have the same black at the same side of the

:25:15.:25:18.

table, and, yeah, definitely. He wasn't 100% focused there.

:25:19.:25:21.

And that's definitely left a scar. Well, let's hope the scar doesn't

:25:22.:25:33.

remain with him too long. But, yeah, I agree with you. He's probably

:25:34.:25:37.

playing that black and thinking, "Dear me. I missed one before. I'll

:25:38.:25:43.

knock this one in and have a think about how did I miss the

:25:44.:25:47.

knock this one in and have a think Things that can go through your

:25:48.:25:52.

mind. He's left a chance here for Neil

:25:53.:25:53.

Robertson to clinch it. So close. But it's run very, very

:25:54.:26:12.

safe. And if this cue ball goes tight, or

:26:13.:26:18.

almost tight to the top cushion, try getting this one safe.

:26:19.:26:22.

I think the only shot he's got - or one of the only shots - is playing

:26:23.:26:26.

it full ball, get a double-kiss, and the cue ball back up the table.

:26:27.:26:34.

Well, this was fraught with danger, playing it this way, I'm afraid.

:26:35.:26:42.

Yes. I think he wanted to concede there he didn't expect Neil

:26:43.:26:47.

Robertson to miss this. And I must confess, neither do I.

:26:48.:26:49.

This for the match. Just wondering whether to put his

:26:50.:27:04.

hand on the table or hand on the cushion.

:27:05.:27:11.

In it goes. So, that's it. Neil Robertson will offer his sympathy to

:27:12.:27:21.

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. Missing that black for the maximum. But Neil

:27:22.:27:26.

Robertson replied with a 145. Highest break in the tournament. And

:27:27.:27:29.

at the end there, really started to cue well. Definitely a major

:27:30.:27:32.

contender for the title, is the Aussie. And he runs out, you think a

:27:33.:27:36.

comfortable winner, but that doesn't tell the story. But he does win by

:27:37.:27:44.

six frames to two. First time, I was make 15 black, and

:27:45.:27:50.

clear all the colour except the last black. First time for me. I never

:27:51.:27:57.

did 147 like this before in the big tournament, big game. With Neil

:27:58.:27:59.

Robertson, maybe too much pressure for the last black. He's made that

:28:00.:28:04.

unbelievable break in, like, six or seven minutes or something, and he's

:28:05.:28:07.

missed the black. I feel really terrible for him, because, you know,

:28:08.:28:10.

the prize money would have meant quite a lot to him as well, being an

:28:11.:28:15.

overseas player, it would have really helped with his expenses for

:28:16.:28:17.

the next couple of years. If I pot the red, I have jackpot.

:28:18.:28:26.

Sensational! Sensational! So, my - not escalate about the

:28:27.:28:33.

black one. Concentrate about how I'm going to do later. That's why I

:28:34.:28:34.

missed the black. You know, once he missed it, I had

:28:35.:28:46.

to try and focus on my game. And the next frame I made 145. Obviously

:28:47.:28:51.

very delighted with that. But, yeah, I don't know, it was just, uh, yeah,

:28:52.:28:57.

I still feel bad for him now. Raise raze yeah,

:28:58.:28:57.

I still feel bad for him now. Raise raze yeah, Robertson goes through to

:28:58.:29:02.

the last 16. Thepchaiya goes to maybe crawl under a rock for a bit.

:29:03.:29:09.

We'll leave him beand talk about someone else. How about Shaun

:29:10.:29:14.

Murphy? It was pretty much one-way traffic as he ran over Ben Wilson.

:29:15.:29:21.

The 2008 champion took a 2-1 lead with 22 clears to win

:29:22.:29:21.

The 2008 champion took a 2-1 lead with 22 clears to win it on the

:29:22.:29:23.

black and never A break of 106 in the eighth gave

:29:24.:29:33.

him a 6-2 win and he is looking like one of the form players so far.

:29:34.:29:38.

The first frame, I got a good chance. Should have had a century

:29:39.:29:41.

break for the charity that I work for and the charity that we're

:29:42.:29:46.

helping here. But a kick and we all know about kicks till we're blul in

:29:47.:29:50.

the face. But a kick cost me the -- blue in the face. But a kick cost me

:29:51.:29:56.

the century break. Fortunately, it went my way and I was able to push

:29:57.:29:59.

on. It was all much tighter between

:30:00.:30:04.

Martin Gold and Mark Allen. Allen led 2-1 thanks to a tonne in the

:30:05.:30:11.

third, but Gold then rattled off three frames in a row. Solid safety

:30:12.:30:16.

was one of the keys. But then a 98 break in the 10th saw him safely

:30:17.:30:20.

through six frames to four. Good win.

:30:21.:30:23.

It was a very high-quality match, I thought. We both scored very heavy.

:30:24.:30:29.

I think my safety probably was one of the keys for me today. I had him

:30:30.:30:34.

in a fair bit of trouble quite often and I created quite a few good

:30:35.:30:38.

opportunities and scored off them. So, let's take stock. We've got the

:30:39.:30:45.

one-on-one, Selby -- we've got the world number one, Selby, Murphy.

:30:46.:30:49.

Missing from the equation, number two, and Ronnie O'Sullivan, who

:30:50.:30:52.

chose not to defend his title. We have heard in the last few hours,

:30:53.:30:56.

though, that Ronnie will r indeed, return to action at the Masters next

:30:57.:31:01.

month. So, what about the world number six currently, Judd Trump?

:31:02.:31:05.

We're gonna see snooker's box office boy shortly, but not before we've

:31:06.:31:09.

heard what his fellow pros think of him, or at least what they're

:31:10.:31:11.

willing to tell us. The future of snooker, I think, he's

:31:12.:31:22.

got the flair, he's got the personality to sort of sell snooker,

:31:23.:31:25.

and hopefully he can remain at the top of the game. And I would love to

:31:26.:31:30.

see him be world champion, because I think he can make a big difference

:31:31.:31:34.

to the future of snooker J he's the Alex Higgins of the modern game.

:31:35.:31:39.

He's unpredictal. Got an abundance of shots. Can play every shot in the

:31:40.:31:45.

book. Flamboyant. A great entertainer. Probably a little

:31:46.:31:48.

misunderstood off the table. People see him as too flamboyant and a

:31:49.:31:53.

partygoer. But if you know Judd and his family, he's not like that. A

:31:54.:31:56.

great kid and very, very quiet. A brilliant potter. Amazing. Great

:31:57.:32:04.

attitude. Sometimes he gets a bit of Schtick. But I love his attitude.

:32:05.:32:11.

Crack on, mate. Hard, quick, quiet. And a very good player. Devastating

:32:12.:32:18.

potter. He's rentered his game now, which has maybe taken a bit off his

:32:19.:32:22.

potting button, in the long run, it's gonna be a lot better for his

:32:23.:32:27.

career. One of the best potters the game's probably ever seen. And great

:32:28.:32:31.

building, flair, he's got everything. Judd Trump loves naughty

:32:32.:32:36.

snooker, goes for everything, plays great attacking snooker. The crowd

:32:37.:32:39.

love to watch him. I love to watch him. And I'm sure he's a world

:32:40.:32:41.

champion love to watch him. I love to watch

:32:42.:32:41.

him. And I'm sure he's a world champion in the making.

:32:42.:32:50.

Well, tonight Judd had a match with China's player, who's had seven

:32:51.:32:54.

years of living down this moment at the Crucible, where he may not have

:32:55.:32:58.

had a clue where he was going backstage or indeed front of house,

:32:59.:33:01.

but he sure knew what he was doing once he got to at the time table,

:33:02.:33:05.

reaching the quarterfinals. He's now 20 years of age. He's ranked 32 in

:33:06.:33:09.

the world. By the way, he led Judd by two wins to one in previous

:33:10.:33:17.

matches before tonight. The Juddernaut was living up to

:33:18.:33:18.

matches before tonight. The Juddernaut was living up to his name

:33:19.:33:23.

earlier on this evening. We join them in frame nine. Judd had banged

:33:24.:33:28.

in some junkie contributions earlier on.

:33:29.:33:35.

Liang, who reached the final in September that I was talking about

:33:36.:33:41.

that, the luckless thep that Ia won, has dug in here. Dud's focus doesn't

:33:42.:33:47.

appear to be sharp -- Judd's focus doesn't appear to be sharp. And the

:33:48.:33:53.

Chinese has holed himself back into this, despite not making more than a

:33:54.:33:57.

54 break in the last three frames. He has knocked in a 62 at the start

:33:58.:34:06.

of this one. And he's over the line here.

:34:07.:34:10.

Taking a 5-4 And he's over the line here.

:34:11.:34:14.

turnaround this is. And you And he's over the line here.

:34:15.:34:16.

there is potentially a big story brewing. Now, some of you might

:34:17.:34:21.

remember a Judd collapse here in York four years ago from a similar

:34:22.:34:25.

position against Mark Joyce. Surely it couldn't happen again.

:34:26.:34:35.

Let's get into Frame ten, then. Liang has a 40-point lead and a pink

:34:36.:34:40.

to the middle. Well, that is abamazing miss.

:34:41.:34:53.

-- an amazing miss. That has to be put down as a big

:34:54.:35:02.

twitch. That's what we call them. You can see the movement there as

:35:03.:35:12.

well. But if Judd Trump can somehow get

:35:13.:35:25.

out of this, it will be remarkable. Because I'm sure he felt a couple of

:35:26.:35:32.

times during this frame that his UK Championship had gone.

:35:33.:35:34.

But it hasn't gone just yet. Could do really with a pink back in

:35:35.:35:56.

its spot. It's going to be very hard to get back into this frame without

:35:57.:35:59.

the blue or pink in play. Obviously he would like to get on to the black

:36:00.:36:03.

as well. That's a possibility. But the black along the cushion is

:36:04.:36:08.

missable. I just sometimes, there's an inner

:36:09.:36:11.

strength that a top player can call on. You know, it's all the

:36:12.:36:14.

experience. He's won a lot in the game.

:36:15.:36:15.

And he's having to call on that now. game.

:36:16.:36:26.

risk... Well, that's not any good, is it? That's nowhere.

:36:27.:36:32.

The only good thing here, he might be able to get on to the blue, if he

:36:33.:36:36.

decide to cut this be able to get on to the blue, if he

:36:37.:36:41.

You can see the disappointment in his face. He's disgusted with the

:36:42.:36:44.

way he's played that positional shot.

:36:45.:37:00.

He's on the blue, what he suggested. And getting it back on to its spot

:37:01.:37:07.

will be a big help. He's only 31 points behind here.

:37:08.:37:34.

Couldn't hole for the blue. On that occasion. But it's not a

:37:35.:37:45.

straightforward clearance by any means. A clearance that he badly

:37:46.:37:47.

needs. Now, if he could drop on this in

:37:48.:37:57.

such a way, he might play for the black. But, no, it will be back for

:37:58.:38:01.

the blue, looking at the angle he has on it there, as you can see.

:38:02.:38:11.

And he hasn't hit it hard enough. Another disappointing shot from

:38:12.:38:17.

Judd. It's gonna have to be the brown now, if he wants to get back

:38:18.:38:23.

on the last red. Under the circumstances, you know, it might be

:38:24.:38:27.

better - he's got a slight angle. Just pot the blue and then send the

:38:28.:38:31.

red into the black and bring the black into play.

:38:32.:38:35.

Yeah, I totally agree. There's no way he's gonna clear the table at

:38:36.:38:39.

this visit now. Well, he's had the blue cleaned and now he's taking the

:38:40.:38:40.

brown, the attacking shot. Just slicing at the balls. His

:38:41.:38:55.

cue-action has gone completely. That's a bit of luck he's had for a

:38:56.:39:00.

change there. Yeah. That's the sort of shot that

:39:01.:39:04.

he's very good at. But under these circumstances, it was difficult. And

:39:05.:39:11.

what's the difference? 20 points, Liang needs a red and black to leave

:39:12.:39:18.

Judd needing a snooker. And this time, luckily for Judd, he didn't

:39:19.:39:19.

get onto the red. He hangs to see if he got the

:39:20.:39:41.

snooker, but it's travelled a little too far.

:39:42.:40:05.

That's a pretty good shot, I think. He snookered him. And not a stroort

:40:06.:40:11.

hit. -- and not a straightforward hit.

:40:12.:40:14.

There's a little bit of room to go around the back of this red. And, of

:40:15.:40:19.

course, if he hits it, he will be pushing it towards the corner.

:40:20.:40:23.

I think the easiest way out of this snooker is off this cushion up near

:40:24.:40:26.

the black. I don't know if he can swerve it. Maybe he wants a big

:40:27.:40:28.

swerve. Well...

:40:29.:40:40.

Good luck getting the balls back in the right place.

:40:41.:40:45.

Yeah, he will need a little bit of help from one of the monitors that

:40:46.:40:47.

they have available to them. Peter Williams there, one of the

:40:48.:41:06.

other referees. He's on scoring duties here. Where am I going, Pete?

:41:07.:41:12.

"Where am I going, Pete?" Yeah. That's where they were.

:41:13.:41:18.

The pink's not too far away. The red was definitely off the cushion. But

:41:19.:41:27.

whereabouts? To you? I said, "Keep coming." "That will

:41:28.:41:28.

do. Perfect." Pink? Not bad.

:41:29.:41:39.

Pink about half an inch to the right.

:41:40.:41:40.

Away from you. Just have a look on the big screen,

:41:41.:41:55.

Pete. Is that how it is now? Yeah. That's how it was. He's saying

:41:56.:42:02.

to Pete. So, the red has gone to the...?

:42:03.:42:06.

No, not really. Well, hmm... Pink is a bit further up the table,

:42:07.:42:16.

right? Yeah, that's better. That's where

:42:17.:42:21.

they were. And I think that's pretty spot on now. Yep that. Will do. That

:42:22.:42:27.

will do very nicely. How's that look? Will he play the square shot

:42:28.:42:32.

again or will he come off the top cushion this time? OK? Yeah? Judd,

:42:33.:42:35.

thank you. Thank you, Pete. APPLAUSE

:42:36.:42:39.

Still gonna play the swerve shot. If he could hit the cushion first, he

:42:40.:42:43.

could send the red up the table. He's gotta get a lot of swerve on

:42:44.:42:46.

it. APPLAUSE

:42:47.:42:51.

Under the circumstances, one, that was a fabulous pot from Judd there.

:42:52.:43:20.

After the few that he's missed, that is a little peach he's just pulled

:43:21.:43:21.

out there. And if he can somehow win this

:43:22.:43:38.

frame, he's gonna be a strong favourite in the last frame, because

:43:39.:43:41.

Liang has had five chances in this frame to lynch the match. It just

:43:42.:43:46.

shows you how important it was when Judd got him to hit the pink in that

:43:47.:43:50.

first, because now he doesn't need the black. But once again a very

:43:51.:43:55.

poor positional shot from Judd. That young man has had five glorious

:43:56.:44:00.

chances to win this frame. And usually you're happy with one.

:44:01.:44:29.

Well, he's thought about taking that pot on and putting the white all the

:44:30.:44:39.

way back up the end of the table and back down again. Now he's changed

:44:40.:44:42.

his mind, because that would be far too risky.

:44:43.:44:48.

He's hit the... That's a poor shot. OK, the white's

:44:49.:44:54.

tight on the cushion, but what did he do there?

:44:55.:45:07.

Well, OK, this is not a straightforward pot. But if it goes

:45:08.:45:12.

in, it's match over. Surely he's gonna pot brown on blue.

:45:13.:45:17.

A bit of movement on that. Safely in the pocket, but this is still not

:45:18.:45:29.

straightforward. I mean, he's ten in front. He needs the brown and the

:45:30.:45:33.

blue for the biggest win of his career. There's a lot of pressure on

:45:34.:45:38.

this brown. He's gotta try and keep everything still and push that cue

:45:39.:45:39.

through in a straight line. What a great pot. Where's the cue

:45:40.:45:51.

ball going? Where's the cue ball going? Wow.

:45:52.:45:53.

LAUGHS Chance number six.

:45:54.:46:01.

Blue to win the match. Oh, he's so close to the blue, it's

:46:02.:46:08.

tough to pick this angle out. We'll know before he does if it's in or

:46:09.:46:10.

not. APPLAUSE

:46:11.:46:19.

Well t 12. That's what it means to this young Chinese player.

:46:20.:46:26.

And Judd Trump, wow. 4-1 in front. He was cruising. And suddenly

:46:27.:46:34.

everything turned right around. Hard to believe he's lost this.

:46:35.:46:38.

We'll leave every credit to Wenbo Liang. Absolutely, Dennis. An

:46:39.:46:43.

amazing victory. From 4-1 behind, he's won five frames on the trot.

:46:44.:46:46.

Judd Trump seemed to disappear towards the end of the match. Wenbo

:46:47.:46:52.

Liang has won his biggest win of his career. Goes into the last 16. A

:46:53.:46:59.

winner by six frames to four. I felt in control at 4-1, then I had

:47:00.:47:03.

a kick with the balls everywhere. That kind of frustrated me a bit. I

:47:04.:47:07.

thought I would still win. From then on, everything didn't seem to go my

:47:08.:47:13.

way. The last frame, I think three chances I can win the game, yeah?

:47:14.:47:19.

You I thinking too much. I think it's no finished yet. I think, "Win

:47:20.:47:24.

already." That's no good, yeah? I need to remember this big problem

:47:25.:47:29.

for me. I need change! I just felt like I couldn't pot a ball by then.

:47:30.:47:35.

I was a little bit disappointed and I just had another feel - it was

:47:36.:47:38.

just embarrassing toward the end. I just wanted it over and done with.

:47:39.:47:44.

The 2011 champion goes home. Well, Snooker Extra follows next with

:47:45.:47:48.

Jason. Then we're back at 1:00 with more live snooker. 16 men remaining

:47:49.:47:52.

in this Betway United Kingdom Championship. And Mark Selby is the

:47:53.:47:57.

star man tomorrow afternoon. But another, Judd Trump, has been posted

:47:58.:48:00.

missing. What a night it's been. Thanks for your company. Bye.

:48:01.:48:16.

The Hybrid will stand in the ruins of Gallifrey

:48:17.:48:16.

and destroy a billion hearts to heal its own.

:48:17.:48:17.

The Hybrid will stand in the ruins of Gallifrey

:48:18.:48:19.

and destroy a billion hearts to heal its own.

:48:20.:48:35.

Isn't this going a little far? I've barely started.
