I'd like White to win failing that Ronnie. I think Williams (the miserable gits) in with a shout though.

On current form im voting with my head and Hunter (even if he is from Leeds) :wink:

Bloody hell Hunter made me eat my words in the Players Championship final tonight. Was great to see Jimmy win though.

I'd like to see White win, too.
He beat Hunter the other night and won his first ranking tournament in 12 years. Great play.
I'm not sure if he'll have the nerve to do it again, though.

Hunter's a great player, too. I guess he's got the biggest chance together with Williams and Doherty. And maybe Stephen Hendry...

It cost Hunter £40,000 (82,000 winners money - 42,000 runners up money) + £50,000 prize for winning the LG Order of Merit (went to O Sullivan instead) that final :lol:

£90,000 in total :shock: . He was happy to see Jimmy win though, fair play :thumbsup: Jimmys dad stole the show at the end :lol:

One thing about Hunter, great potter but not so good at putting the other player in snooker positions I noticed.

He had some great snookers in frame 15 against White.

Owwell... He's still young. He's learning...

Did anyone watch this? I thought the guy was a mentalist at first the way he gave up on a frame with 100 odd points left on the table :!:
clearly looked unhappy, conceding the seventh frame with just one ball potted.

Doherty is OUT! :shock:
Swail played a steady game. Didn't think he would make it, but he did!


And Watana... Gosh, he got OLD!
I thought he stopped playing the big games already, since I hadn't heard of him in a while. Bummer he didn't make it against Stephen.
Was a good match, though.

Let's see how things will develop.

Missed that one.
It looks like all ranked players are going out or having very much trouble getting through.
Higgins had SOmuch trouble winning his match...
