0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hello, good evening, welcome back to the Barbican Centre in York. Coming
0:00:44 > 0:00:52up the best of the action from the bet UK Snooker championship and the
0:00:52 > 0:00:57third round. We will see Shaun Murphy, the former champion, shortly
0:00:57 > 0:01:03but let's start with Michael White taking on Ronnie O'Sullivan on a
0:01:03 > 0:01:13very special day for the Rocket.The birthday boy plays today. 42 years
0:01:13 > 0:01:22of age. His opponent, Michael White. You never know where they are going
0:01:22 > 0:01:35to finish, and what a result, there. So, Michael White gets his first
0:01:35 > 0:01:46frame on the board.He's played that very well indeed.Well, what a
0:01:46 > 0:01:54magnificent clearance from Ronnie O'Sullivan. Well, did he get a kick
0:01:54 > 0:02:08on that?Fine shot. That's a marvellous shot.Ronnie O'Sullivan
0:02:08 > 0:02:19extends his lead. He leads 5-1.Good recovery.Doesn't matter about
0:02:19 > 0:02:27missing the pink. He just couldn't get going, Michael.Ronnie
0:02:27 > 0:02:31O'Sullivan runs out a very comfortable winner, by six frames to
0:02:31 > 0:02:34one. When I look at the breaks it was pretty decent. I missed a few
0:02:34 > 0:02:38balls, could have got punished harder but Michael did not play the
0:02:38 > 0:02:42way he can play so it made my job until bit easier in many ways, but
0:02:42 > 0:02:47it feels like I kind of got away with that one today.Sullivan
0:02:47 > 0:02:52through, John Sullivan was in action taking on Chinese sensation Yan
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Bingtao, some 25 years his junior, and it was the 42-year-old who
0:02:55 > 0:03:04opened up a 3-0 lead. Yan Bingtao was expected to prove a difficult
0:03:04 > 0:03:06opponent and showed why he's dominating the back pages,
0:03:06 > 0:03:12dominating the match with breaks of 79, and 81. But the matchstick
0:03:12 > 0:03:19another huge swing with Higgins claiming the next three, leaving
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Higgins as one of the favourites for this year's title.I thought he was
0:03:23 > 0:03:29pretty solid. I went 3-0 in front of any paid then in the final three
0:03:29 > 0:03:34frames I thought I played OK. Happy with the result. He is a special
0:03:34 > 0:03:45player.Mark King will be John's opponent in round four after the
0:03:45 > 0:03:48initial and sort of Luca Brecel of Belgium. You can see that match with
0:03:48 > 0:03:55us later today. In the evening session, the 2008 champion Shaun
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Murphy was looking to book his place in the last 16. He was up against
0:04:00 > 0:04:03world number seven Jimmy Robertson who was beaten at this stage by
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Oliver Lines. Murphy led 3-1 at the mid-session interval before
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Robertson pulled one back. Into frame six, Murphy has potted six
0:04:12 > 0:04:19reds and six blacks. Commentary from Dennis Taylor and Stephen Hendry.
0:04:39 > 0:04:46He doesn't want to leave himself straight on that red. The cannon can
0:04:46 > 0:05:00go wrong. He hasn't red available to the right corner. Once the just play
0:05:00 > 0:05:06on this red. This is definitely missable, because he's got a player
0:05:06 > 0:05:16at pace.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Always missable at pace, and perhaps the cannon was possibly the shop,
0:05:22 > 0:05:27then, the cannon of the black. The red jumped slightly off the bed of
0:05:27 > 0:05:30the table.
0:05:30 > 0:05:38red jumped slightly off the bed of the table.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Jimmy Robertson comes to the table. He has a chance to get right back
0:05:44 > 0:05:55into this frame.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Looking at those rates around the pink, I don't think he has to play
0:06:00 > 0:06:05any cannon is just yet. They look as if they would all play each other.
0:06:05 > 0:06:12He might want to play a cannon onto the red to the right of the bunch
0:06:12 > 0:06:19but he doesn't have to do that. He has gone into them straightaway. And
0:06:19 > 0:06:29he's not too badly placed. They would have all cleared each other
0:06:29 > 0:06:39anyway. Those five reds are all available now.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52It is a real test of bottle here with Jimmy Robertson. These are the
0:06:52 > 0:06:56frames that you've got to pinch, to go deep into tournaments and even be
0:06:56 > 0:07:02a tournament winner. You've got to be able to pinch these frames. To
0:07:02 > 0:07:09win the frames that you shouldn't have. It makes a difference.
0:07:22 > 0:07:3224.
0:07:45 > 0:07:53He has only used the one cushioning. So, result. If it finishes high on
0:07:53 > 0:07:57the black again he should play for the red on the cushion. He's got to
0:07:57 > 0:08:02play it sooner or later. Sometimes if you leave it until the end
0:08:02 > 0:08:08there's more pressure on it. He could just stun off the cushion for
0:08:08 > 0:08:15that red to the right corner. Again, reluctant to play it. He was perfect
0:08:15 > 0:08:22on the black to get close to that red.As you mentioned, he's going to
0:08:22 > 0:08:30need that, and he's going to leave it until the last minute. It was
0:08:30 > 0:08:33such a good angle that he could have done previously, there. All will be
0:08:33 > 0:08:44revealed.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52With this road it is easy to get that perfect angle on the black to
0:08:52 > 0:09:00get close to the red. You don't want to be playing it from distance. --
0:09:00 > 0:09:13with this red.He would like to get the cue ball were the other white
0:09:13 > 0:09:18is, straightforward. He has played to move it, and that makes it a
0:09:18 > 0:09:23little bit easier. He finished nicely on the black, there, and I
0:09:23 > 0:09:27don't blame him for taking that chance to bring the red into a more
0:09:27 > 0:09:36favourable position. Didn't want to be straight on the black, he's not,
0:09:36 > 0:09:45he can stun of the side cushion and up towards the yellow. It is a
0:09:45 > 0:09:49strange game. Shaun was going to the maximum break, there. He has seven
0:09:49 > 0:09:55reds, seven blacks. And this was a red that he missed trying to get on
0:09:55 > 0:10:02the black again.You, the maximum could've been in the back of his
0:10:02 > 0:10:17mind. But I'm sure it was at the back of his mind that this was what
0:10:17 > 0:10:29Jimmy had to do, really punish Shaun. In the most severe way. I
0:10:29 > 0:10:34think his heart was in his mouth, there. It came off that right-hand
0:10:34 > 0:10:48jaw. That's why he was low on the blue.You have to give credit to
0:10:48 > 0:10:59Jimmy. He is good to watch, is in the? He's quick around the table.
0:10:59 > 0:11:08Very well played. Shaun Murphy was on his way to a maximum and broke
0:11:08 > 0:11:14down at 56 and Jimmy Robertson cleared up with that magnificent 90
0:11:14 > 0:11:18break and he's all square at rehab and three. Good little comeback from
0:11:18 > 0:11:31Jimmy. Into the next frame, and Murphy is at the table.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Didn't expect Jimmy to miss his attempt. And we certainly didn't
0:11:37 > 0:11:53expect Shaun to Mestalla. -- to miss that.I was trying to count how many
0:11:53 > 0:11:56times it wobbled in the pocket and it must have been at least four
0:11:56 > 0:12:08times. And stayed there. Let's have a look. There are one, two, three,
0:12:08 > 0:12:13four, five...
0:12:42 > 0:12:48He was concentrating so much on the cannon, he forgot about the pot. A
0:12:48 > 0:12:59little bit edgy, out there. A long way to go in this match.
0:13:26 > 0:13:36That was an excellent pot.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49It was a natural angle to come back down the table to the black. Just
0:13:49 > 0:13:53had to concentrate on the pot. Another decent opportunity in this
0:13:53 > 0:13:56frame.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28He expected to be on this red over the corner. There was a much fuller
0:15:28 > 0:15:45contact on the bunch.Maybe a plant, to rescue him.It must be close.
0:15:45 > 0:15:52Yes, it is right in line for the pocket. He just concerned with the
0:15:52 > 0:16:06cue ball, that he can push it through and get on the black. The
0:16:06 > 0:16:16pink now available. That plant, coming to his rescue, there. One
0:16:16 > 0:16:22good pot on the pink, but it's not a gimme by any means. If this goes in,
0:16:22 > 0:16:39great chance.Good solid pot.
0:17:34 > 0:17:45He does like a wander around the table, Shaun. He surveys the whole
0:17:45 > 0:17:49situation sometimes, he wanders from side to side and up and down. He
0:17:49 > 0:17:57reminds me of steady Eddie Charlton. He was a little bit slower than
0:17:57 > 0:18:05Shaun around the table, that's for sure. You can see Shaun's average
0:18:05 > 0:18:16shot time, just 18 seconds. He doesn't hang about.
0:18:29 > 0:18:43A couple more pots will secure the frame.
0:19:01 > 0:19:1561 ahead, just 59 remaining. This is just what he needed. He led 3-1 at
0:19:15 > 0:19:22the mid-session interval but Jimmy came right back at home, especially
0:19:22 > 0:19:29in that last frame with a break of 90, after Shaun had made 56. -- came
0:19:29 > 0:19:41right back at him. Some good breaks, when you look at it. A wobble on the
0:19:41 > 0:19:52black but that doesn't matter, Shaun Azad 41, 68, 86, 40 eight. -- Shaun
0:19:52 > 0:20:01has had. He's had one century so far, 129.
0:20:07 > 0:20:18He sat 20 centuries this season, and 438 in total. But no century yeah,
0:20:18 > 0:20:33but that doesn't matter. -- no century here. It is now 4-3. And
0:20:33 > 0:20:41with a break of 60, Shaun Murphy then made it 5-3. Into frame night,
0:20:41 > 0:20:48Murphy leading, and back to Dennis and Stephen. -- frame nine. He has
0:20:48 > 0:20:56misjudged it. That's careless. That wasn't that difficult, you know.It
0:20:56 > 0:21:01certainly wasn't difficult to hit the red. I didn't expect him to miss
0:21:01 > 0:21:10making contact at all. Just, for whatever reason... He just lost his
0:21:10 > 0:21:14concentration in this frame. He knows he's had three chances
0:21:14 > 0:21:22already. An amateur safety shot that left Jimmy and easy escape, could
0:21:22 > 0:21:26have put him in more trouble. Not even making contact with the red,
0:21:26 > 0:21:32there. Maybe he's just a bit eager to get over the winning line.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46What belief has Jimmy got in himself to stay in this match?What he's got
0:21:46 > 0:21:53to be thinking is, he was in the same situation in the previous round
0:21:53 > 0:21:56against Alan McManus, 5-3 down, and came back and won the match. Those
0:21:56 > 0:22:06other thoughts he wants to be thinking. -- those are the thoughts.
0:22:11 > 0:22:20And also his opponent's had three decent chances to put this much away
0:22:20 > 0:22:30and hasn't taken any of them. You see that head movement.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55The baulk collars are not in ideal positions but that shouldn't matter.
0:22:55 > 0:23:03He should have the frame won by then. He couldn't have the reds in a
0:23:03 > 0:23:13much better position.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33Potting this red releases another two further white corner. Two to the
0:23:33 > 0:23:41right of the pink become available. Just keep focus, full concentration.
0:23:41 > 0:23:52And you can get one frame back, here. And straightaway he plays
0:23:52 > 0:23:58little cannon, unintentionally, and he's put himself in an awkward
0:23:58 > 0:24:03position, just between the gap, and he's got a choice of rates. Now he's
0:24:03 > 0:24:09left himself a tricky one, this one, if it passes the black. But this
0:24:09 > 0:24:14should have been so easy. He's looking at the want of a middle
0:24:14 > 0:24:19pocket to hold the black. -- he's looking at the one for the middle
0:24:19 > 0:24:33pocket. See? You just make one little error and it just escalates.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39It's all about keeping close control of that cue ball. Now he's just 26
0:24:39 > 0:24:56points ahead. Well, that's what he's faced with, there. If you don't push
0:24:56 > 0:25:06that cue through in a straight line, these can be missed. Well are
0:25:06 > 0:25:12dialling, very well done! Jimmy Robertson. That was a pressure pot
0:25:12 > 0:25:15that he got there.
0:25:28 > 0:25:34He didn't want to be high on this pink, he let the cue ball go a
0:25:34 > 0:25:42couple of inches too far. He's making hard work of this.He only
0:25:42 > 0:25:49needs one more red after the pink. And he didn't want to be playing a
0:25:49 > 0:25:53cannon, but in the end he had to. And this is awkward because he's
0:25:53 > 0:26:00having to bridge over the pink. We can show you the cannon he played,
0:26:00 > 0:26:09there, which hasn't promoted the red into the perfect spot. 40 in front
0:26:09 > 0:26:12with still 43 on.
0:26:23 > 0:26:2855 is OK. But he should have clinched the frame, there are,
0:26:28 > 0:26:36without a shadow of a doubt. No wonder he's shaking his head.This
0:26:36 > 0:26:47red is on, next to the pink.
0:26:51 > 0:26:59What a superb long pot.It was great, but he's got to pot that
0:26:59 > 0:27:06blew. 39 the difference. If he pots the blue, 34 the difference, so it's
0:27:06 > 0:27:10blue, red, black, all the colours to clinch the match. That's not going
0:27:10 > 0:27:21to be easy, that's for sure. But he's got to take it on.This is pot
0:27:21 > 0:27:38of the tournament, if this goes in. That long red and that two of the
0:27:38 > 0:27:45pots of the tournament. He can win this match at this visit now. What a
0:27:45 > 0:27:57clearance this would be.This is tough. This is very tough. Well, he
0:27:57 > 0:28:04made it look easy in the end. Now, the only problem he has. Jimmy will
0:28:04 > 0:28:14know that the green is near the brown, so it's not a formality. It
0:28:14 > 0:28:18all depends on the angle on the yellow. The green will go into the
0:28:18 > 0:28:22same pocket as the yellow. He will see if he can leave it to the right
0:28:22 > 0:28:28corner but, as you can see, where he is cueing, can he popped the green
0:28:28 > 0:28:38from there, from there, from their?! Those first three pots of this break
0:28:38 > 0:28:48were just phenomenal.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55He is further away from the brown man he would like. Unless he's going
0:28:55 > 0:29:09to go round the table. -- from the brown than he would like.
0:29:15 > 0:29:22Can he shut out the match here? He knows he's got a great chance of
0:29:22 > 0:29:25winning the UK Championship this year, with all of the top seeds
0:29:25 > 0:29:33being knocked out. He had a very tough match against Liam Highfield
0:29:33 > 0:29:42that he managed to get through. Looked like he was going out. But
0:29:42 > 0:29:48he's a class act, Shaun Murphy. And really, etc Vic clearance, when you
0:29:48 > 0:29:56think of some of the pots. Smiles all round. Jimmy Robertson
0:29:56 > 0:30:06congratulates the former world champion.
0:30:06 > 0:30:19APPLAUSE
0:30:19 > 0:30:22The clearance at the end was pretty good and I needed blue or better to
0:30:22 > 0:30:25win. I played a cannon on the yellow went as the cue ball went past the
0:30:25 > 0:30:31yellow I thought, what will I do now? I looked at the blue and I
0:30:31 > 0:30:34thought, let us in the coin and see what happens.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37thought, let us in the coin and see what happens. When it went in I was
0:30:37 > 0:30:40like, I had to play the cushion for the rest that was when it went in
0:30:40 > 0:30:45and I went on to win the match but the match better than the previous
0:30:45 > 0:30:49one. If I can improve my cube or control a little bit I am on the
0:30:49 > 0:30:53verge of playing really good stuff so I know where I need to improve.
0:30:53 > 0:31:03-- my cube all control.Wilson is having a decent season. The
0:31:03 > 0:31:10runner-up in the World Open. And Ricky was a semifinalist in the 2011
0:31:10 > 0:31:15UK championship. Ricky Walden was leading 2-1 and he extended his lead
0:31:15 > 0:31:21to two frames at the interval. Just the second meeting between these
0:31:21 > 0:31:23two. Ricky won at
0:31:23 > 0:31:24the second meeting between these two. Ricky won at the Crucible in
0:31:24 > 0:31:302014. A good break from Ricky and the next two frames were shared. We
0:31:30 > 0:31:38now join in frame seven with Kyren Wilson to play on a break of 33.
0:31:42 > 0:31:48He is playing at full blooded. Cannot get away with it. That was
0:31:48 > 0:31:53just borderline too difficult. He has given Ricky a golden opportunity
0:31:53 > 0:31:59now on the counterattack. Things are not happening and you end up trying
0:31:59 > 0:32:10to push the boat out and usually you pay the price for it.Why didn't he
0:32:10 > 0:32:13screwed the cue ball back the other side block the red with the pack
0:32:13 > 0:32:25before. A bit too risky. I don't blame him going for the shot but he
0:32:25 > 0:32:37should've differently than that. I chanced to Ricky Walden. 22 points
0:32:37 > 0:32:44behind are plenty of reds on the table. It has to go into either the
0:32:44 > 0:32:49to red a pub of the black to the left or into the four reds with a
0:32:49 > 0:32:55bit of pace and push the cue ball through. He has the insurance of the
0:32:55 > 0:32:59red over the corner pocket but he has to develop some reds here.
0:33:04 > 0:33:10That has worked out a treat.
0:33:13 > 0:33:44The top red is on we want to get back on the black.It is a bit early
0:33:44 > 0:33:48possibly to be talking about it but Ricky Walden can take mostly blacks
0:33:48 > 0:33:53in the next four and five reds and you won't need the red near that
0:33:53 > 0:34:07right side cushion, should he get that far. 17 points behind right now
0:34:07 > 0:34:22so to red blacks and one behind.It is an interesting pointers snooker
0:34:22 > 0:34:28players will be doing the calculations of my mind. We might
0:34:28 > 0:34:32see Ricky glanced at the scoreboard a few times during this break and he
0:34:32 > 0:34:35will be doing the maths in this head to see how much he needs before he
0:34:35 > 0:34:55even tackles the red that is close to the cushion.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09That is nicely on the pink there. I think the top red of the two that
0:35:09 > 0:35:23are just below the pink, the top red will putt into the corner pocket.
0:35:23 > 0:35:38Debtors have a look from other side. He can only afford one more pink and
0:35:38 > 0:35:42the rest black and it means that will be 36 in front on the last red.
0:35:42 > 0:35:55He is not playing for the black.I suppose the next two red/ black are
0:35:55 > 0:36:01not guaranteed. He will work it out head and yes to get the top side of
0:36:01 > 0:36:06the red above the blue with a shots time. Three blacks following this
0:36:06 > 0:36:48pink should see him home. He needs a nice angle on the black to do what's
0:36:48 > 0:36:51that red the blue.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Again he must make sure he has a nice angle when potting this black.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08He needs to get on the right side of the red because he needs the black,
0:37:08 > 0:37:19as Allen said. On this red it looks absolutely perfect. It is a lovely
0:37:19 > 0:37:31positional shot. Just double-checking. 28 ahead.
0:37:53 > 0:38:00Just over on the cue ball slightly. He is a big lad. What does he do
0:38:00 > 0:38:04here? Does he try to play the pink and get the cue ball close to the
0:38:04 > 0:38:07red or just drop the black in and take the cue ball up towards the
0:38:07 > 0:38:17baulk area? What would you do here? I think he has to play the black. It
0:38:17 > 0:38:26is all about the pot. Probably cue ball and baulk, in fact. Well done.
0:38:36 > 0:38:42A well worked out break but not completely out of the woods. He need
0:38:42 > 0:38:51to snooker. Most professionals these days are very adept at getting
0:38:51 > 0:38:57snookers. He has to be careful here, he doesn't want to stick the red up.
0:39:03 > 0:39:15Ricky Walden, 69.That was a good break for Ricky Walden. Requiring
0:39:15 > 0:39:19snookers from Kyren Wilson and Ricky will extend his lead.Ricky Walden
0:39:19 > 0:39:23looking very good, isn't it? That Lussey what happens in the next
0:39:23 > 0:39:23frame.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32I would mentally play this as though I was playing a black off the spot
0:39:32 > 0:39:38into the pocket. It is funny how players play different shots. I
0:39:38 > 0:39:41would mentally forget about the pink there and think the black is on the
0:39:41 > 0:39:46spot and play for it. If you land nice on the black cue on the pink.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49It is a bluff with mind games but because it is trying to hold it he
0:39:49 > 0:39:56has held it too much. It is always easier sitting in here, of course.
0:39:56 > 0:40:02Bigshot this may now prove to be. Pink into the yellow pocket. When he
0:40:02 > 0:40:11fully commit to this? Is it there? Great shot. Well played. Fully
0:40:11 > 0:40:15committed.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27That may help into the next round of this championship. It was a brief
0:40:27 > 0:40:41shot. -- it was a brave shot.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49He just could have been doing with another four or five inches of pace
0:40:49 > 0:40:54out of the cue ball and that would almost guarantee to be nice on the
0:40:54 > 0:41:00next red. The next good positional shot he plays is a genuine chance to
0:41:00 > 0:41:04win the frame and the match at this visit. He still has plenty of work
0:41:04 > 0:41:40to do. That was a good shot. He played into an area and not into a
0:41:40 > 0:41:45specific red. That will do nicely, thank you very much. The choice of a
0:41:45 > 0:41:55couple. He may have to go back for baulk colour into but this is
0:41:55 > 0:42:09developing nicely. This time he has the absolute ideal angle. Going for
0:42:09 > 0:42:15the red below the peak. -- pink.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32There was an element of risk attached about. I was surprised
0:42:32 > 0:42:39that, in all honesty. A bit short with the rest. I fancy getting it.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43We know the black doesn't go Iniesta hit this properly. He could be short
0:42:43 > 0:42:46or long playing this screw shot and these are difficult to judge
0:42:46 > 0:43:07properly. Just about high enough, I think.He can just drop the pink in
0:43:07 > 0:43:14and beyond the bottom of the two reds below the pink to the left.
0:43:24 > 0:43:34Just a few more putts away now. The adrenaline will be pumping.
0:43:34 > 0:43:39The adrenaline will be pumping.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43He could hold the pink spot here, just below the pink spot really.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47Screw back an inch or two for the red into the left-hand corner
0:43:47 > 0:44:00pocket. Overall it has been a very good performance from Ricky Walden.
0:44:00 > 0:44:06He has done all of the running in this match.
0:44:15 > 0:44:24It is good to see Ricky back. His opponent will be back. He has had a
0:44:24 > 0:44:28bad day today but he has the pedigree to come back and win this
0:44:28 > 0:44:34championship, that is no doubt. He just had an off night tonight, Kyren
0:44:34 > 0:44:45Wilson. A lot of that is down to his opponent as well.Yes, we suggested
0:44:45 > 0:44:47earlier that he is just more reliable overall on the balls
0:44:47 > 0:44:54tonight. Breaks of only 33 and 43 from Kyren just not going to get the
0:44:54 > 0:45:07job done against anybody on the pro tour. He has already passed the
0:45:07 > 0:45:26point of Kaira needing snookers. -- Kyren needing snookers.
0:45:56 > 0:46:01The handshake is forthcoming and Ricky Walden prevails. He was by far
0:46:01 > 0:46:06the better player on the night and he prevails over Kyren Wilson by
0:46:06 > 0:46:116-2. A convincing victory and good to see him playing well.
0:46:11 > 0:46:156-2. A convincing victory and good to see him playing well.I didn't
0:46:15 > 0:46:19let him settled really. I had a rub of the green in the second row
0:46:19 > 0:46:23scored heavily through that session to keep things in my favour really.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27I kept the pressure on nice and controlled the match. I am going one
0:46:27 > 0:46:31game at a time and trying to compete and stay in the match out there and
0:46:31 > 0:46:35see how things go. At the moment things are going OK but we will see
0:46:35 > 0:46:41how it goes. I will chill for a day now and give it my best shot.
0:46:41 > 0:46:48Elsewhere in Xiao Guodong of China sealed his place in the last 16 by
0:46:48 > 0:46:55beating Simon Khan who made a Crucible debut this year. -- Noppon
0:46:55 > 0:47:05Saengkham. The world number 18 in an interview said he is feeling very
0:47:05 > 0:47:11relaxed at this tournament and Gould is in pretty good form as well.
0:47:11 > 0:47:18Martin Gould is through. But another big name has tumbled out of this
0:47:18 > 0:47:23years tournament. Barry Hawkins, Crucible runner-up in 2013,
0:47:23 > 0:47:29sensationally beaten 6-0 by Sonny Akani of Thailand. He is 22 years
0:47:29 > 0:47:36old and this is an amazing result. The Assad three seasons as a
0:47:36 > 0:47:39professional snooker player and his best performance was a quarterfinal
0:47:39 > 0:47:46of the Indian opening 2016. What a result, Barry Hawkins, out.Today I
0:47:46 > 0:47:52am playing, I am playing very well but today I am winning because I am
0:47:52 > 0:48:04just lucky when I miss a shot and the last time I pot in the pocket it
0:48:04 > 0:48:15goes in there. Today I am playing OK.Very well played. This is how
0:48:15 > 0:48:17the last 16 looks.
0:48:25 > 0:48:35Ten UK titles between these players. That is it from us today. Extended
0:48:35 > 0:48:40highlights in snooker extra coming up with that match between Barry
0:48:40 > 0:48:46Hawkins. There will be live coverage tomorrow with John Higgins against
0:48:46 > 0:48:50Mark King and the all Scotland clash between Stephen Maguire and Graeme
0:48:50 > 0:48:59Dott which is live on your red button. Thank you for watching.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03People think that I'm incapable of working.
