:28:23. > :28:27.someone? I was thinking of last year and Jamie Jones from South
:28:27. > :28:31.Wales. Many viewers will have watched him get to the quarter-
:28:31. > :28:41.finals last year playing some fabulous snooker. And here we have

:28:51. > :28:55.Michael White doing exactly the He misjudged that one. Well, I said
:28:55. > :29:05.it in the last frame, and I will say it again, Poomjaeng, you must
:29:05. > :29:24.
:29:24. > :29:28.One good positional shot and he can get up to the reds. There are two
:29:28. > :29:33.or three reds available. The one near the pink spot might pot into
:29:33. > :29:43.the corner where the referee's head is, into that corner pocket. There
:29:43. > :29:50.
:29:50. > :29:54.are a few balls that will pot into That looks to be pretty good. He
:29:54. > :30:00.has the one at the back. But there might be another one available, so
:30:00. > :30:04.he does not have to cannon into anything, which helps. There is
:30:04. > :30:14.another red in the middle of the bunch that will go into the same
:30:14. > :30:23.
:30:23. > :30:29.pocket, so he does not have to play He just seems to be struggling with
:30:29. > :30:32.his position here. Everything is a little bit off all the time. You
:30:32. > :30:35.know yourself, Dennis, when you are making these breaks you need to be
:30:35. > :30:45.in perfect position, because it keeps adding up and putting
:30:45. > :30:47.
:30:47. > :30:57.Am not surprised he is getting up. This is not straightforward because
:30:57. > :30:58.
:30:58. > :31:08.his cue ball has not been good. he has to hit it hard, hasn't he?
:31:08. > :31:19.
:31:19. > :31:27.Well, John called it. He did not get the right angle on the black,
:31:27. > :31:31.and that has caused the problem. Yes. It seems to be within the
:31:31. > :31:34.first or second shot, he has lost the cue ball and the breaks are
:31:34. > :31:40.becoming more awkward. It does not look like he has got his game
:31:40. > :31:43.together in this match at all. Nothing gives your opponent more
:31:43. > :31:53.confidence than when they are not getting hit back. I would be the

:31:54. > :31:57.world's greatest boxer if nobody You had one of the world's greatest
:31:57. > :32:07.boxers from the same neck of the woods as you, who you bump into on
:32:07. > :32:23.
:32:23. > :32:29.the golf course now and again, John Well, that is not the best shot.
:32:29. > :32:34.Although, saying that, I was thinking he would stay on for the
:32:34. > :32:44.pink there, to be honest, because the bottom reds would go. But he
:32:44. > :32:52.
:32:52. > :32:58.He played that really well. He was striking the cue ball to the right
:32:58. > :33:08.of the white, to get the angle. The natural angle would have taken him
:33:08. > :33:15.
:33:15. > :33:25.into the reds. It looks so easy but He has had a look at the scoreboard.

:33:40. > :33:44.He knew that was enough to put him One person who will not be
:33:44. > :33:49.particularly happy watching this, Dennis, is Stephen Maguire. He will
:33:49. > :33:53.be spitting feathers in Scotland when he sees this scoreline.
:33:53. > :33:58.Poomjaeng played fantastic against him in the first round. But he has
:33:58. > :34:02.just not turn up for this match. would be surprised if Stephen is
:34:02. > :34:10.watching. After you lose at the Crucible, you want to go and do
:34:10. > :34:13.something else. Get away from snooker for a few days. There is
:34:13. > :34:17.nothing worse than when you have played somebody who has played
:34:17. > :34:26.exceptionally well and you tell everybody how well they played, and
:34:26. > :34:36.in the next round they cannot pot a ball. Yes, he is well and truly
:34:36. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:50.He has a win against the former world champion, Mark Williams. He
:34:50. > :35:29.
:35:29. > :35:38.No big breaks in the opening frame. 36 and 32. He got a bit of a heavy
:35:38. > :35:44.contact there, but the frame is over. It is all too easy for
:35:44. > :35:48.Michael at the moment. He is not bothered about the black. And with
:35:49. > :35:58.the aid of that 71 break, Michael White takes himself further into

:37:44. > :37:50.Keeping things tight, Michael. Showing Dechawat the respect. And
:37:50. > :37:55.you cannot blame Michael for that. He does not want to let this Thai
:37:55. > :37:58.player into his stride if he can help that. He is 9-1 in front, and
:37:58. > :38:08.he will want to win it, as John said earlier, as quickly as
:38:08. > :38:18.possible. There is Michaela Tabb, looking very smart, as always, with

:38:34. > :38:53.
:38:53. > :38:57.He has not fluked it. Look where the black and the pink are. A
:38:57. > :39:01.couple of reds available. If he can get on the blue off the red to the
:39:01. > :39:06.right of the pink, he could then play the cannon into the pink and
:39:06. > :39:16.reds, so come on, Dechawat. Let's see if you can get a good pot and
:39:16. > :39:20.
:39:20. > :39:23.good position and give yourself a It is just not happening. There is

:40:06. > :40:12.I suppose any ball game, when you are playing well, you get the run

:40:27. > :40:37.He has overscrewed that one. I will tell you what, the white stopped

:40:49. > :40:54.and then it is the back. Was that a It is not a great board at the
:40:54. > :41:04.minute, with the pink and black tied up. We could do with a safety
:41:04. > :41:33.
:41:33. > :41:43.off the side of the pack to open Michael taps the table for that
:41:43. > :41:49.
:41:49. > :41:59.very good safety from do to work. - There was definitely a young man's
:41:59. > :41:59.
:41:59. > :42:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 105 seconds
:42:42. > :42:51.safety shot. You need good eyes for Well, what a terrific escape that
:42:51. > :43:01.was. The old two cushion get out, and he could not have played it any
:43:01. > :43:15.
:43:15. > :43:20.I have to say I am very impressed with the young Michael White at the
:43:20. > :43:25.minute. He is still playing all the right shots, putting 100% into
:43:25. > :43:30.every ball, not looking at the scoreboard. He is 9-1 ahead, but
:43:30. > :43:40.trying to win every frame and play every shot correctly. I think he is
:43:40. > :43:57.
:43:57. > :44:02.trying to get this over with, and He needed plenty of side on that to
:44:02. > :44:12.avoid the reds to the left of the table. He did well to find the gap.
:44:12. > :44:20.
:44:20. > :44:25.This is new territory for both That was a shot to nothing, the red
:44:25. > :44:28.by the pink. Yes, it is one of those things. Maybe you play in the
:44:28. > :44:37.club before you come. We were saying that Willie Thorne used to
:44:37. > :44:40.get up early and prepare for his 10am match. I would play a best-of-
:44:40. > :44:50.25 before coming, because you do not do it all season. Better to be
:44:50. > :44:58.
:44:58. > :45:02.He does not want the white to go right on to the cushion. Otherwise
:45:02. > :45:07.there might be a path through to the red that has been pushed over
:45:07. > :45:17.the corner. He is unlucky if there is a path through. And there is not.
:45:17. > :45:22.
:45:22. > :45:29.That was a free shot, because if he potted it, the green was over the
:45:29. > :45:36.middle pocket and he would always cover the one over the left corner.
:45:36. > :45:39.Yes. This is much more difficult for Dechawat. He has to try and
:45:39. > :45:43.negotiate back to the baulk area, but he cannot play a similar shot
:45:43. > :45:47.to Michael because the red to the left of the pink, the natural angle
:45:47. > :45:52.would bring him into the three reds on the left side of the table. So a
:45:52. > :46:02.lot more to think about. He is just looking whether he could come off
:46:02. > :46:10.
:46:10. > :46:15.the side cushion. Well, what a shot Well, he played round the angles,
:46:15. > :46:24.and he potted it. I must confess, I did not see that one. I do not
:46:24. > :46:30.think he saw it either, because he held up his hand to apologise. He
:46:30. > :46:35.did not play the plant. He just wanted to move that red. But he is
:46:35. > :46:45.in the balls. Now, can he make a few points here? This crowd would
:46:45. > :46:55.
:46:55. > :47:00.be right behind him. I am going This Crucible crowd, well, everyone
:47:00. > :47:04.that has watched him has taken this Thai player to their hearts. It
:47:04. > :47:14.would be nice - nothing against Michael White - but it would be
:47:14. > :47:49.
:47:49. > :47:54.nice if he could knock in a He decided to play that red instead.
:47:54. > :48:04.He could not have hit it much better. It is a lot better cue ball
:48:04. > :48:10.
:48:10. > :48:20.There have been indications this afternoon that he has not had the
:48:20. > :48:20.
:48:20. > :49:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 105 seconds
:49:48. > :49:58.cue ball on a string so far. But A good recovery. Not so great with
:49:58. > :50:04.
:50:04. > :50:07.Just starting to get a little more difficult now, with the way that
:50:07. > :50:17.the reds are situated around the black. There are still another
:50:17. > :50:25.
:50:25. > :50:31.There is one more red in that little bunch of six that is
:50:31. > :50:35.available. And then he needs an angle on the pink to go into the
:50:35. > :50:45.reds, because he cannot go into them from the blue, because of the
:50:45. > :51:08.
:51:08. > :51:12.Well, I do not think he played a decent shot there. He should have
:51:12. > :51:22.been playing for the red in the middle of the pack. It might work
:51:22. > :51:26.
:51:26. > :51:30.Unlucky. Looking at the camera angle, the red in the middle of
:51:30. > :51:36.that five, we thought it would go in, but from that angle, it does
:51:36. > :51:45.not, so he had to play on that one. But these are tricky on
:51:45. > :51:49.championship tables. Nothing easy about those shots. Yes, they are
:51:49. > :51:53.slightly easier when you are playing well and you have a lead.
:51:53. > :52:00.It is just the nature of the game. That is all about confidence, and
:52:00. > :52:05.at the moment, Dechawat is lacking in confidence. I am wondering
:52:05. > :52:09.whether he will take a chance and pot the red on the right plain ball
:52:09. > :52:19.and tried to promote the reds and black and take a chance here to get
:52:19. > :52:26.
:52:27. > :52:30.That was not a bad shot, your choice, but he played to get on the
:52:30. > :52:40.pink in such a way... I think the red at the top of the five goes
:52:40. > :52:40.
:52:40. > :53:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 105 seconds
:53:30. > :53:37.And when he pots this, it might He just has to be a little careful
:53:37. > :53:47.with this shot, slightly into a blind pocket. He has to play a
:53:47. > :53:59.
:53:59. > :54:09.little cannon as well. Not totally He made it look very easy in the
:54:09. > :54:20.
:54:20. > :54:30.And he is just looking at the angle now, to see if he can get on that
:54:30. > :54:37.
:54:37. > :54:47.red. He might be able to develop So he is seeing things pretty
:54:47. > :54:51.
:54:51. > :54:54.clearly at the moment. This is the I don't know if he has the angle to
:54:54. > :55:04.develop the red and black. He might have to play for the pink on this
:55:04. > :55:13.
:55:13. > :55:23.He got a kick there, because the white did not cannon into the black
:55:23. > :55:23.
:55:23. > :55:27.and red as he intended. Yes, the red jumped. Let is why it cannoned
:55:27. > :55:37.the right side of the red, as we look at it. But he has covered the
:55:37. > :56:01.
:56:01. > :56:11.one over the pocket. So that kick Quite a good shot, that. He has
:56:11. > :56:16.
:56:16. > :56:24.covered the red on the right with He decided to play down the table,
:56:24. > :56:34.and he has hit the blue. I would have attempted to play something a
:56:34. > :56:47.
:56:47. > :56:55.little different from that. Once It is not like he has not had any
:56:55. > :57:05.chances. He has had plenty. He has just not scored. Just a bit of
:57:05. > :57:13.
:57:13. > :57:18.noise from the other side of the Well played. Very good shot. Look
:57:18. > :57:22.where he has placed the cue ball. Choice of reds, one in the middle,
:57:22. > :57:32.one in the corner. Could not have played that any better. That is

:57:32. > :28:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 105 seconds
:28:08. > :28:18.Well, he played the shot that I mentioned, and he could not have
:28:18. > :28:29.
:28:29. > :28:39.played it any better. He has given I am not so sure he has gone up far
:28:39. > :28:46.
:28:46. > :28:54.Now then, do you take this on, or do you stun it, send it down the
:28:54. > :29:04.table and brighter play the snooker? Choices. -- and try to
:29:04. > :29:13.
:29:13. > :29:18.Well, he is very unlucky, because that was a brilliant pot. It really
:29:18. > :29:28.is very good, that. On these championship tables, that was an

:30:58. > :31:01.
:31:01. > :31:04.And he is on the green. He just needs the green. We have had all
:31:04. > :31:14.sorts in this frame. He has been giving himself a round of applause
:31:14. > :31:25.
:31:25. > :31:28.Well, he has another frame on the board, and this is great to see.
:31:28. > :31:36.Because he totally relaxed in this frame and just went out there and
:31:36. > :31:46.had a go. He had more or less given up. He was smiling. But now he has

:33:28. > :33:31.
:33:31. > :33:34.It wobbled, but he played it well. Any more pace, it would have

:34:58. > :35:02.That one was beautifully struck. You could see the cue ball with

:36:13. > :36:20.the follow-through, but he played He just overscrewed that slightly,
:36:20. > :36:24.but he has the green that will get him back up to the reds again. He
:36:24. > :36:34.could take the brown also. The green is the better angle to get
:36:34. > :36:44.
:36:44. > :36:48.back up to the reds. He has three If anything, sometimes he gets into
:36:48. > :36:52.the ball too well, Michael, doesn't he? He has had a few shots today
:36:52. > :36:59.which have been overscrewed, because he has been cueing well and

:37:16. > :37:21.when you get to the semi-finals. And that will be a milestone in one
:37:21. > :37:28.of three players' career, because you will not give Dechawat much
:37:28. > :37:38.chance here. Interesting choice of shot there. I thought he would
:37:38. > :37:45.
:37:45. > :37:55.cannon into the four reds, but he It has turned out OK. He does not

:37:59. > :38:08.have to, but he might use the four He did not have to cannon them

:38:54. > :38:58.He can score enough without any of Once again, he has no need to play
:38:58. > :39:02.into these if he does not want to. He can play for the loose red. He
:39:02. > :39:06.has played this break as if he was taking no chances. He had a couple
:39:06. > :39:16.of opportunities of playing the cannon into the pack, but he has
:39:16. > :39:22.
:39:22. > :39:25.And that is just about perfect. He can still get to the potting angle
:39:25. > :39:35.of the one to the right of the black, and that is the red that
:39:35. > :39:43.
:39:43. > :39:48.will put him one frame away from a I think this has been the big

:41:43. > :41:53.straight forward escape may be a problem. Well, he hit it too hard.
:41:53. > :41:57.
:41:57. > :42:07.Has he got the snooker? Everybody Is there just enough sticking out?
:42:07. > :42:17.
:42:17. > :42:20.He might have to play with a trace I always felt the shot that Michael
:42:20. > :42:30.has just played was one way you had to play with a bit of drag on the
:42:30. > :42:30.
:42:30. > :43:18.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 105 seconds
:43:18. > :43:23.Well, that has really opened up the reds. That is what you call an
:43:23. > :43:33.attacking safety shot. The last frame of this session. Is it going
:43:33. > :43:50.
:43:50. > :44:00.That is a pretty good return safety And even though he has not been at

:44:19. > :44:24.the races, so to speak, he has You used the expression, at the
:44:24. > :44:28.races. In 1991 when I was fortunate enough to win, I won my second
:44:28. > :44:32.round match with a session to spare and my team talk was, if you win
:44:32. > :44:38.the next six frames, we can go to Pontefract races on Monday. I came
:44:38. > :44:42.out and never played better. Instead of having to come here and
:44:42. > :44:46.go back to another session of snooker, I enjoyed myself. It makes
:44:46. > :44:56.a difference. And did you have your fascinator for your hair that you
:44:56. > :45:13.
:45:13. > :45:23.mentioned earlier? I will leave There is the fascinator that
:45:23. > :45:33.
:45:33. > :45:39.Michaela Tabb is wearing for a That was a pretty good shot from
:45:39. > :45:49.Michael. There was no easy return to the safety zone -- there is no
:45:49. > :45:51.
:45:51. > :46:01.He cues up as if he was going to play with one hand, and then he
:46:01. > :46:10.
:46:10. > :46:19.What a shot that was! Well played. That is as good a safety shot
:46:19. > :46:29.Mersey will ever see. Come on, he said. -- as good a safety shot as
:46:29. > :46:32.
:46:32. > :46:42.Do you know, I think he hit the wrong red. He was trying to play
:46:42. > :46:46.
:46:46. > :46:51.Yes, you are right, he played to hit the other red. There is a bit
:46:51. > :47:01.of noise from the other table. It looks like recession has come to an
:47:01. > :47:04.
:47:04. > :47:14.That was a delicate shot, and he has on the black, so he has a
:47:14. > :47:15.
:47:16. > :47:25.chance here to keep this match This is great credit to him, the
:47:26. > :47:28.
:47:28. > :47:32.He has not played well in this match, but he has kept on going.
:47:32. > :47:42.Even though he has missed lots of balls and given loads of chances to
:47:42. > :47:51.
:47:51. > :48:00.his opponent, good on him for And wouldn't it be something if he
:48:01. > :48:04.could make a frame-winning break I think there is only one gentleman
:48:04. > :48:08.in the Crucible Theatre that does not want that, and he is sitting in
:48:08. > :48:14.the other seat. The rest of them would like to see them back in the
:48:14. > :48:20.morning. Michael has his dad here, so there might be two. The son,
:48:20. > :48:26.Michael is going to win this match, but it is just a matter of when. --
:48:26. > :48:36.listen, Michael is going to win. would be nice if he could make a
:48:36. > :48:47.
:48:48. > :48:57.He did not look as if it was going to fall, did it? -- it did not look.
:48:58. > :49:30.
:49:30. > :49:33.Did he below that in, do you think? It is a bit of a stretch to get to
:49:33. > :49:43.this one. You would think there would be something straight forward
:49:43. > :49:57.
:49:57. > :50:02.He caught the other red. It will have to be a long, straight pink if
:50:02. > :50:06.he wants to keep the break going. He has very little to do with the
:50:06. > :50:16.cue ball. But if he takes the long pink, he has to get it, otherwise
:50:16. > :50:20.
:50:20. > :50:25.he will put Michael right in He did not get anywhere near it.
:50:25. > :50:29.be fair, that is half the problem. He cued high on the white forest on
:50:29. > :50:36.shot. Why he was playing to take the cue ball up there, I do not
:50:36. > :50:40.know. He cued it very high and played it like a stun run through.
:50:40. > :50:50.He was always going to leave one, so he might as well have played it
:50:50. > :50:56.
:50:56. > :51:06.Well, the chance falls to Michael White. There is only one red which
:51:06. > :51:07.
:51:07. > :51:12.is awkward. The two behind the black are not that well placed. So
:51:12. > :51:22.he has six comfortable reds, but he will need one of the three awkward
:51:22. > :51:22.
:51:22. > :52:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 105 seconds
:52:15. > :52:25.So it is not a clear cut run to the He had it. He does not want to be
:52:25. > :52:26.
:52:26. > :52:36.I do not know whether he can get through the gap for the red above
:52:36. > :52:59.
:52:59. > :53:09.the black. It is pretty tight, so He played that beautifully, didn't
:53:09. > :53:14.
:53:14. > :53:18.Three reds certainly pottable. He would like to have had a bit more
:53:18. > :53:28.on the cue ball than that. He does not want to be off straight. He may
:53:28. > :53:35.
:53:35. > :53:39.Well, he is saying it kick, but I was very surprised with the choice
:53:39. > :53:49.of shot anyway, playing those. I thought he might have left those a
:53:49. > :54:06.
:54:06. > :54:11.Tricky shot coming up when these Well played. A good recovery, more
:54:11. > :54:21.difficult than it looked. Back in good position. He can clinch the
:54:21. > :54:39.
:54:39. > :54:43.He got another kick, but he is OK. He will be a player from South
:54:43. > :54:49.Wales through to the quarter-finals of the world's championship. Jamie
:54:49. > :54:59.Jones did it last year. I think he made something like seven centuries
:54:59. > :55:01.
:55:01. > :55:04.at the Crucible last year, his He will probably be watching
:55:04. > :55:10.Michael, who had a great win against Mark Williams and, it has
:55:10. > :55:15.to be said, this has been quite easy match for him. Dechawat just
:55:15. > :55:24.could not get going. I think the match with Stephen Maguire took it
:55:24. > :55:28.all out of him. Yes, I hope Stephen Maguire has not been watching this,
:55:28. > :55:37.for his own sake. Dechawat played really well in the first round
:55:37. > :55:41.It has definitely left a mark on him for the second round. If
:55:41. > :55:48.Stephen Maguire had one, he would certainly have given Michael more
:55:48. > :55:52.of a game. He has been great to watch, though. Even though he has
:55:52. > :55:56.struggled in this match, there have been some very entertaining moments.
:55:56. > :56:00.At 11-2, he came out and made a break of 44 to make it 11-3 and it
:56:00. > :56:10.was one of the most entertaining breaks I have ever seen at the
:56:10. > :56:14.
:56:14. > :56:24.He just changed his mind. He was going to play the screw shot and
:56:24. > :56:31.
:56:31. > :56:36.just drop it in instead. -- he just It was all about the red. He is
:56:36. > :56:44.through to the quarter-final. There was little reaction. It is a
:56:44. > :56:54.milestone in this young player's career. And every chance now that
:56:54. > :56:58.
:56:58. > :57:08.he could get through to the semi- And in goes the double. He is going
:57:08. > :57:13.A fabulous feeling, when you know you have won. And what a great
:57:13. > :57:21.venue to do it in. Well played. he has the morning off, so he and
:57:21. > :57:24.his family can go and enjoy themselves this evening. Sheffield
:57:24. > :57:32.it does become your favourite city in the world when you play like
:57:32. > :57:42.this in the Crucible. Yes, and when you hit the ball as sweetly and you
:57:42. > :57:43.
:57:43. > :57:53.can score as heavily as he does, He had a break of 83 to go 11-2 and
:57:53. > :58:04.
:58:04. > :58:11.a break of 73 to go 12-3, and he is What a way to finish. He is going
:58:11. > :58:15.to finish with a century break. Well done, Michael White. And
:58:15. > :58:19.Dechawat comes forward and applauds him. It really was a superb
:58:19. > :58:25.performance from this young Welshman. In the end, he runs out a
:58:25. > :58:31.comfortable winner with a break of 102. He has the morning off. He
:58:31. > :58:35.wins the match, 13-3. But well done to Dechawat as well, a total breath
:58:35. > :58:41.of fresh air. I have enjoyed every minute. He is shaking hands with
:58:41. > :58:45.the audience. He is a popular Thai player. I hope we see him again and
:58:45. > :58:48.I will look forward to it. Michael White through to the
