:01:18. > :01:21.#. Think about all those things you feel #
:01:22. > :01:33.Just be glad to be # Good evening. What the date it has
:01:34. > :01:36.already been in the Betway UK Championship the Barbican Centre in
:01:37. > :01:42.York. This afternoon Neil Robertson, the cool, classy Australian knocked
:01:43. > :01:47.in a maximum break, the first ever in a UK final. His opponent,
:01:48. > :01:53.China's Liang Wenbo, one of the game's extroverts and enthusiasts
:01:54. > :01:58.has not wilted under the pressure and if anything it has fired him up.
:01:59. > :02:01.Many people put tonight would be a foregone conclusion. It's not, hold
:02:02. > :02:02.tight, there could be a few twists and turns coming your way this
:02:03. > :02:12.evening. COMMENTATOR: He's got nothing to
:02:13. > :02:18.lose today, he is the underdog, who knows what could happen?
:02:19. > :02:29.That's a delicate shot he's played, what a pot that is. Fully
:02:30. > :02:33.stretched. Great effort. The only chance he has of winning this match
:02:34. > :02:42.is if he can take these chances in one visit. Absolutely brilliant from
:02:43. > :02:50.Liang Wenbo. This is the proper way to respond. The standard in this
:02:51. > :02:53.final is starting to get better and better. Neil Robertson will be
:02:54. > :03:21.disappointed if this goes in. OK, deep breaths, pink and black.
:03:22. > :03:27.For ?40,000. In it goes. We've already seen a black mixed for a
:03:28. > :03:40.maximum once in this tournament -- seen a black missed. But not this
:03:41. > :03:45.time, sensational, Liang Wenbo comes over and gives him his
:03:46. > :03:48.congratulations. We can hear the Thunder from Down Under, it's a
:03:49. > :03:56.maximum four Neil Robertson! Well done! Another terrific pot. They are
:03:57. > :04:05.all pressure pots. Absolutely brilliant. What a session of
:04:06. > :04:11.snooker. Neil Robertson's Marvellous mum, at the crowd are really rooting
:04:12. > :04:14.for Liang Wenbo. He trails by two frames going into this evening's
:04:15. > :04:22.session but we could be in for a match this evening.
:04:23. > :04:27.At the start of the tournament you have lots of players and coaches and
:04:28. > :04:31.managers and friends around and gradually the number significantly
:04:32. > :04:36.gets reduced. At first I was a bit like, wow, there is never the left
:04:37. > :04:43.now, it's just me. I'm used to it now and it doesn't faze me. The UK
:04:44. > :04:53.Championship is a big tournament, second ranking tournament. This time
:04:54. > :04:57.it's just hotel, dinner, practice. You know, this is it, this is the
:04:58. > :05:03.last push, you are just doing everything you can to get rid --
:05:04. > :05:11.ready for the moment. I don't want to talk, I just want to concentrate
:05:12. > :05:16.on playing the game. You are here now, what down the
:05:17. > :05:18.stairs, owned the place, this is your table and trophy to win, don't
:05:19. > :05:29.let the other guy get a hand on it. ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen,
:05:30. > :05:32.please welcome a player having the best week of his career by far,
:05:33. > :06:02.China's charismatic Liang Wenbo. ANNOUNCER: And now, for a player who
:06:03. > :06:31.has already today shown ANNOUNCER: And now, for a player who
:06:32. > :06:32.a special talent he has, all the way from Australia, he's Neil
:06:33. > :07:15.Robertson. The Barbican Centre in York is
:07:16. > :07:22.rocking. Remember, just two frames in this, possibly 11 to play this
:07:23. > :07:27.evening and at stake a first prize of ?150,000, the UK title, one of
:07:28. > :07:31.snooker's big three along the World and Masters crowns. Ken Doherty and
:07:32. > :07:37.Dennis Taylor, two Crucible Kings, waiting for us in the commentary
:07:38. > :07:40.box. Maximum entertainment for us today. COMMENTATOR: It certainly
:07:41. > :07:47.is, welcome everyone to the final session of this year's Betway UK
:07:48. > :07:50.champ. What a reception, standing ovation for both players. The
:07:51. > :07:57.British public have certainly taken to this likeable Chinese player
:07:58. > :08:00.Liang Wenbo. High-fiving people on the way in. But Neil Robertson is
:08:01. > :08:04.fully focused as he was this afternoon.
:08:05. > :08:14.REFEREE: Liang Wenbo to break. COMMENTATOR: I'm looking forward to
:08:15. > :08:19.this one. Yes, it should be a classic, great atmosphere at the
:08:20. > :08:24.Barbican here in York. What a wonderful reception, thoroughly
:08:25. > :08:31.deserved. What can this man, Liang Wenbo, do tonight to hang onto Neil
:08:32. > :08:35.Robertson's coat-tails, as he did this afternoon. What an important
:08:36. > :08:44.frame to keep himself in this match tonight. We were blessed with that
:08:45. > :08:50.wonderful 147 break as well. When Liang Wenbo left the arena you would
:08:51. > :08:54.think he had just won a match at his reaction to winning the last frame
:08:55. > :08:57.to keep himself right in it. Red immediately to the left of the black
:08:58. > :09:04.is put out of commission. Neil Robertson immediately... What a
:09:05. > :09:09.fluke. I think he played to free up the black, but it was a bonus.
:09:10. > :09:11.Unluckily he has not dropped nicely on a colour. What a fluke that was
:09:12. > :09:37.to start off the evening session. It is just too thin a cut on the
:09:38. > :09:42.brown. Here we go. It freed up the black as well. I'm a little bit
:09:43. > :09:48.surprised Neil didn't take the brown on. OK, he may be thought middle
:09:49. > :09:54.pocket, possibly in-off. He's got to be careful here if he plays that
:09:55. > :09:57.escape, if he hits the red to the right of the pink he will leave the
:09:58. > :10:08.one onto the middle pocket. That is what he is concerned with. He would
:10:09. > :10:17.have to be very precise to slip past that red that I mentioned. But I
:10:18. > :10:21.think there is precious little else available unless he went off to what
:10:22. > :10:30.precautions to get into the back of the reds -- unless he went off two
:10:31. > :10:37.or three cautions. I don't know if you can get enough side to come off
:10:38. > :10:44.two cushions. He's playing for the one behind the black. Is it going to
:10:45. > :10:51.reach? Not quite. He will play the shot again. The line I had up, if he
:10:52. > :10:53.didn't get it right, he would leave the red to the left middle pocket.
:10:54. > :11:08.Just a slight readjustment. It was a good line, at least. He
:11:09. > :11:14.would have to hit it just a touch harder. He will have to be careful.
:11:15. > :11:19.If he goes by the red he could still leave the red to the left centre.
:11:20. > :11:22.That's the sort of line he was after. The first time he had the
:11:23. > :11:37.right line. Good shot and he's covered the red
:11:38. > :12:00.to the left centre as well. The longest frame of the match was
:12:01. > :12:04.the opening frame. It was quite tactical, simply because of the way
:12:05. > :12:07.the ball finished up. It lasted 32 minutes. There have been some fairly
:12:08. > :12:08.quick
